Didnt you just explain why in another thread when saying conservatives are douche bags .. so whats the question again?
I guess you could say the same for Obama.Is it "wisdom" to want to go to war for an indeterminate amount of time? No, but is it "wisdom" to want to prevent terrorists attacks against innocent people, btw how many terrorist attacks has your country had in the past few yrs?
Is it "wisdom" to deny a woman freedom of her own body and for her to have no say Yes when it involves innocent fetuses,and if you ask most women who had an abortion they never feel good about it.
Is it "wisdom" to have every sentence you speak contain some reference to war and national security? Now your just exzadurating.
I would have thought a person with wisdom would realise that war is an illness that causes problems and is not a 'cure' for anything. Or do you think national and international situations have been improved by the war in Iraq? Depend on who's view your looking at.
I would have thought a person with wisdom would realise that government; a collective has no right to decide what is an individual matter and bypass and ignore the wants or needs of the individual. This seems to be the Republican MO though, in terms of abortion and many other issues. Especially when it comes one's individual taxes.
I would have thought a person with wisdom would have a vocabulary that expanded to more than just synonyms for war and national security. I would have thought a person with wisdom would be able to eloquently and thoroughly discuss matters such as economy, domestic housing and employment. And to offer viable and effective solutions. I've always thought it was more effective to use a simple vocabulary when taking to people why confuse them with a vocabulary they can't understand.
Definitions of "wisdom" must be extremely disparate between countries. Because I could have sworn McCain was an antonym for 'wisdom' in the Oxford Dictionary.

Claire Talon said:Lately I've come to a very good conclusion, I guess. It was while I was watching TV, and saw the coverage of the umpteenth declaration of the good ol' "War on Terrorism" speeches of Bush. Here's what I thought.
I saw that all arrests and successful investigations of latest acts of terrorism came from countries where these investigations were handled by police forces, while military is never, or hardly involved. On the other hand, we (the US) have employed a lot of military forces and come up with a lot of nothing.
This made me think that the term "war on terrorism" is not a matching metaphor. While war implies that you have a concrete opponent, a clear objective, and clear conditions that make you a winner or vanquished, the struggle against terrorism isn't so easy. Therefore, anyone who expects to win this "war" is misled, moreover, this so-called war must be considered as a permanent struggle against an abstract opponent, which will never be won. A "victory" in this case will mean that terrorism is only subdued for some time, forced to hide and remain inactive because of a lack of possible targets, and the increased danger of the terrorists' plans being uncovered through agents infiltrating into the terrorist networks. History proves this, as terrorist organizations which have been infiltrated by the police and intelligence agencies usually grind to a halt, and are very limited in their operations.
The best way to prevent terrorism is to not let terrorists inside the country. That is the ONLY way they can attack us, from INSIDE our country, and increasing measures to stop them from entering is the only sure-fire way to prevent attacks. They don't have international cruise missiles piled up in those caves they live in...get real. And even if they did, I'm sure our immense missile defense system would be next to impossible to penetrate, we're fucking America, the most advanced, safest, and most protected nation on Earth. The war has only strengthend the movement and recruited more anti-American sentiment than there was before we went into Iraq. Iraq is by far worse off now than it was when Saddam was in power. Let's secure our borders before we wage another war on 100s of 1000s of poor cave dwellers who have no means of attacking from outside of America.

See...
You are GAY in Wisconsin and a Republican..
Why don't you "come out" as openly gay at your party's rallies?
I am sure they would love you.
and you sir...
are a total douche.
there...
I said it.
Not sure what decade you are living in but gay republicans are not a new concept and yeah, one of my homes is in Wisconsin, another in a "blue" state and another in a "red" state. Sorry to burst your bubble but nobody gives a fuck in any of them.![]()
Your plan for isolationism will not work. We already have people legally living here bombing buildings (WTC), flying jets into buildings (WTC), attacks on our embassies outside of the country, bomb-laden speedboat attack etc. but in the overall scheme of things these are really nothing with whats going on all over the world nearly everyday.
Like it has been doing for 2000 years now, it will continue to escalate and WMD along with easy delivery methods get easier and cheaper everyday. This 2000 year old problem needs to be addressed and should have been decades ago. Tightening up the borders (which will never work anyway as I could show you many easy places to cross where you would never be seen) is not the answer, extermination is and we may as well do that where they breed.

What is this 2000 year thing you're talking about? Neither America or Islam existed 2000 years ago...
