Aug 2013

Aren't we in the midst of a budget crisis? Doesn't anyone wonder why we have to pare down "entitlements" , yet when its time to dole out tax payer money for killing, we have all the money in the world.
actually, we have credit, not money. The money to pay the defense contractors will be borrowed in our name. I want MY share of what is borrowed put toward my Social Security, not Death for innocents halfway around the World......

The hell it isn't an act of war. DisgustipatedinCA Aug 2013 #25

No way! Guided missiles tipped with hundreds of pounds of high explosives raining down isn't war! cherokeeprogressive Aug 2013 #29

We aren't in the midst of a civil war and gassing our "enemies" along with civilians, including MADem Aug 2013 #95

First, I think it's now clear that shooting cruise missiles at Syria would be an act of war. DisgustipatedinCA Aug 2013 #96

I find your justifications for turning your back on this population the opposite of compelling. MADem Aug 2013 #97

You should be busy preparing to attack North Korea DisgustipatedinCA Aug 2013 #98
