The KKK these days are nothing but a bunch of drunk and drugged up losers wishing the "good old days" were coming back.
Not everything, but most of what happens in the US shapes the rest of the world. America is the forerunner in almost everything. And it is the best country in the world. Citizens in other countries can deny it all they want. There is absolutely no better place than the US. Of course it isn't perfect, human nature isn't. How could it be?
Skin-heads and KKK are melting together now-a-days (because they have similiar 'anti-anything but white' goals. They were haunted by the US government before 9/11, and after. Some are extreme wackos that need to be watched, and other are more or less benign. Culture has octracized their movement...really, who the fuck is going to support skin-head--hitler lovers!?
That's where most of them started, and there's so much extreme ideas on the other side of the spectrum e.g you can go to jail for racism. It just builds up steam for movements like that. Extreme Liberalism has many impractical agendas, and they make many enemies along the way. Change has to come as naturally as possible,....not forcefed.
I know this thread is done but: Cut and paste from a Don feder article: http://www.humanevents.com/blog-detail.php?id=16786 Islam has the concept of the dhimmi (non-Moslem living under Islam), which is several steps below blacks in the Jim Crow South -- though slightly better than Jews in Nazi Germany. Religion usually makes people better (kinder, more compassionate and more tolerant). The religion of peace is the exception to the rule. You might say Islam is to religion as rap is to music. Muslims Don’t Play Well with Other Children Wherever there’s religious bloodshed anywhere in the world, it’s invariably Muslims versus someone else. Could this be a coincidence? Israel, Gaza and Lebanon -- Muslims verses Jews. Kashmir -- Muslims vs. Hindus. Kosovo/Bosnia -- Muslims vs. Serbian Orthodox. Nigeria, the Sudan -- Muslims versus Christians. Indonesia -- Muslims vs. Christians. Myanmar -- Muslims vs. Buddhists. The Northern Caucuses -- Chechen Muslims against Russia Orthodox, and so on. Inquiring minds want to know why the “religion of peace†can’t behave peaceably with any other religion. Answer: Islam remains what it was at its beginning 1,300 years ago -- a violent, expansionist faith that will tolerate no competitors. What other religion has the concept of jihad (holy war) -- the notion that if you die fighting for Allah you get 72 virgins (exhausting as that must be) in Paradise? Muhammed started by eliminating the competition -- annihilating Jewish tribes in the Arabian Peninsula. More than a millennium latter, it’s still business as usual for his successors. ok no mas.....
And malaysia is a beacon of moral clarity. Look man. Every country has a dark past. "A nation without a past is a happy nation", or something like that. Most of those things you mentioned are problems that America has dealt with. America is a very, very resilient nation. It is possible that the US is at is apex and on the decline, but it's not going anywhere in the larger scheme of things. If you think of Bush as an Atrocity, that will be dealt with soon as well. Blame America first is getting tiresome. Start looking within.
The truth is one. Things are not nice in Iraq. They were planning to replace Saddam and then get out. The first thing they did. The second is nowhere in sight. More than 300 Billions were dumped down in a bottomless Iraqi war-hole. The economy is not as good as we want it to be. People are asking where are the benefits for the World, for the Iraki people, for the Americans from this war? Was it worth it? The public opinion will show. IMO a christian should be always supporting peace. Is that hard? It really is for some. Especially for those who are Christians on paper. In war everyone loses. I feel sorry for all the loses from this war. As one man (B. Douno) said it: "Peace is for the smart ones, war is for the fools."
lmao...that can't be a good analogy. Yeah, there is serious problems within many of their believers. I don't favor this comment. While it applies to many (MANY), it doesn't apply to all. It's believers history is full of violence. Christianity took a long time to advocate violence...atleast it took a long time for ' christian leaders' to promote such. I do think MOST American Muslims aren't of that fold; although I'm not into the idea of openly inviting millions from the middle east over. There's just too many insane ones over there...but I wouldn't limit it to 'over there'.
You should have brought these up one by one so we could evaluate them. Most of them are so irrelavant that people don't get the point. Most of them actually approve of America rather than critisizing it for example you mention some historical point that have been resolved so uniquely and noveltyly that only remains admiration for US. For example although woment didn't have the right unitl 1920 - your word -, they now have more right that women in %95 of the countries and certainly they are far better than Islamic countries. You talk as if the American are proud of Abu Gharib, to be honest I would have done worse and wouldn't regret. You obviously don't know the difference between systematic and accidental turtore. What has Hamas got to do with USA? America cannot be blamed for stupidity of people to elect them. Perhaps tommorrow you are going to put the blame of Mullahs in hell of the Islamic republic on US? What? Hizbollah? every body knows that US want this group to go to hell. We cannot expect US to do everything for Lebanies, they must move their a.. themselves. About Nacazaki, even after those bombing Japan put conditions for peace, I wonder why America accepted any condition at all, perhaps they didn't have more bombs. Choose one of these subjects to discuss it. Actually I have better reasons to critizise US for example why don't the American build the same hospitals they have in my country? Why don't they send me a free air ticket and reserve a free 5* hotel in Las Vegas for me? Why dont' they tie my shoes and iron my shirt?
According to bush's latest interview Islam is a "great religion", and "peaceful"... sounds like you need to update yourself on the new propaganda to spit out for the neocons
Bush (and everyone else) was saying that the day after 911! Absurd! Thats why we need to give Bush the boot and get someone who is not so kind and gentle!
yo yo has been pushing to get rid of Bush for someone more aggresive for as long as I could remember, he wants us to rid the world of the evil islamic terrorists - since he knows islam doesn't = peace
