why, can't you put forth a decent defence?

[.::Tin Can::.]

Why can't anyone spell defense....

For gods sakes its the same thing every damn thread.  Just give it a rest you guys.

That so called "tank" is a LAV-25 (I think I got the model right).  I'm not an expert on tanks but the LAV-25 is meant to be an amphibious vehicle.  Its more of an armored truck than a tank...I believe its on wheels and not treads.  Its a trumped up SWAT van compaired to what I had originally imagined when they said tanks.

I can understand the people down there that feel that there should be a less controversial president in-office but this doesn't help their case in my view.  It hinders it.

It sounds like the protesters were more of a threat and were more threatening to the "tank" than the amored vehicle was to them.  Two sides to every story...

Ok, now I am really annoyed.
STOP, EUROPE ESCPECIALLY, criticizing the election. You want to act like you art the pinnacle of a civilized society.
You are the ones that think your self superior. Not us.

Well plenty of Americans pissed on the Spanish for their election results in March.  

I think we Americans have a thick enough skin to take some of their bickering in return.  Unless you're insinuating we Americans are all pompous wussies that can't take the usual rhetoric in stride.  If we can't hold up to that how the hell are we gonna win a friggin' war in Iraq?  Throwing a tizzy fit and crying our eyes out about them voicing their opinions isn't much better.

I'll add that it's even more irrelevant since they can't change anything (over here).

I never really cared for, nor anyone I know, the elections of the Spanish. If they think they know what's best, let them go at it. I'm not here to judge.

Anyhow, the results for this years election were the highest votes ever. Roughly 40% of the country voted. The other 60%, lets say, are comprised of these people:

40% children (under 18, unable to vote)
15% non-voters
5% unable to vote (lives in a crazy house or something. A real lu-lu)

This means that out of the 55% of the population able to vote, 40% voted on their president, and John Kerry just didnt have what it took to pull it off. Now that roughly 22% of the country voted for Bush, guess what every Democrat and Liberal does in the media?

Calls them stupid.

That's right, we're all just a bunch of stupid dumb****s with no idea what we are doing in this country. Guess what it's ALL about to the Dem's and Lib's in this country?

Issues over Morals

What do Republicans and Conservatives vote for?

Morals over Issues

It's what keeps the society from turning secular at every turn. Sure, its OK to allow gay marriages, its OK to perform stem cell research, its OK to have an abortion. It's all issues, issues, issues, and Democrats and Liberals cant seem to understand why we value morals over issues.

Because the line is drawn between right and wrong. When you go over that line, it's too far. All 11 states that had the "should gay marriages be ok?" question all voted NO by over (in all states) 65%. Some it was 80%. Some it was 66%. But the fact is, we dont want it. So, dont try and press it on us.

The bottom line is, we the Left value our traditions and our standards more than we value the "freedom" and "feelings" hippy nonsense trying to get passed. What's their slogan?

If it feels good, do it!

No, you dont.

[Bobboau]

...what?

The condescension between parties these days is inane to say the least.  Some Dems did seem childishly petty following the election too.

Reminds me of when Madoxx got hate mail for saying "inane" and everyone thought it was "insane". Fun times.

'OMFG YOU R TEH RETARDZORZ! IT IS TEH "INSANE" NOT "INANE" YOU NUBCAEK! ROFL!!11!1!!!"

First of all, the people that criticized the spanish were a minority. It is their right to choose whomever they want. Who are we to criticize them. especially with head lines how can so many people be so stupid. And believe me, headlines and international intellectual butchery will continue. However, Americans are not still sitting around saying stupid socialist wussies and saying it ALL THE TIME. A little criticism is expected. True in our view they[the spanish] are not meddling with international politics. But hey show some respect.

[Shrike]

Ok, enough.
