Re: time of war
I know we've had our disagreements over things in the past but this:
​
Our Presidents are not Gods nor Kings. They are Men, and it is OUR RIGHTS which stand above THEM. Otherwise it is just words on paper.
​
is beautiful.

Interesting, how can he be resonsible when he didn't start it?
​
In the same way that if I moved in to a murderer's house and committed murder I'd be responsible for murder.

Presumption of guilt?
Do you have evidence these people AREN'T terrorists? If not, it's pretty pointless arguing this hypothetical. Until demonstrated otherwise, I will trust that the right people have been detained.
​
I didn't realise you guys had dropped the presumption of innnocence.

Re: We are not at War
Heheheh... you forgot. First he handed them the explosives and then he said "bring it on" (specifically meaning "attack our troops"). I don't see how a dem would have ever survived that mistake and the resulting carnage. That was not just aiding and abetting, it was incitement to kill our troops.
​
I must have missed all of this. Got a link? Sounds interesting.
