6. Wow. What do you think of idiot son and darth, because they're

more inclined to hold that title.

And btw, go back under your bridge.

[2tr4nqued]

7. I think Bush and Cheney were allowed to get away

with every single thing they did, without even a $5 fine for being mean.

[avaistheone1]

47. The only roses that will come out of this war are the roses that will accompany these young soldiers

to their graves.

The escalation is nuts. It is senseless.

[HughMoran]

10. Geez, I hoped they were being facetious.

...though you never know...

[babylonsister]

13. Time to alert/ pizza. Beyond facetious. nt

25. You are 'interesting'. Do you think Bush murdered anyone? nt

[2tr4nqued]

27. There are some who want to look backward.

I'm more interested in the murder that Obama has yet to do, so we can stop it. We cannot stop what Bush did. It is too late. We failed to stop him, though we tried. But now Obama is wanting to keep on with the killing, so, we have to stop him, because it is the present and future, not the past.

So as we move forward, we need to think of ways to invalidate Obama's surge.

How about this:

The goals for the war are unrealistic and unachievable.

The war will cost too much in dollars and lives, and we still will not achieve the goals.

The war is simply not worth it, costs too much, and cannot achieve the goals.

Obama's judgment should not be trusted. He thinks he can jump over the moon. He is wrong.

Obama is wrong, the war is not worth it. Let's turn that into a meme.

[Peacetrain]

16. Just such and ugly post

[2tr4nqued]

22. When Obama kills, it makes him ugly.

I agree.

[TwilightGardener]

20. Yeah...uh...

(edging away from the skeery psycho troll)

[2tr4nqued]

23. Yeah, anyone who calls murder murder must be

psycho.

[Raine]

49. Calling a Democratic President

those kind of names is really crossing the line. :mad:

[Scurrilous]

9. Stand By Your Man.

:thumbsup:

[HughMoran]

46. I hate that song

:)

[Mari333]

11. No, but he is promising us more of this

[2tr4nqued]

24. Thanks Obama for killing more people.

You're the man now, dog. You show them Afghans what's what.

Jesus, that's just nasty. Disgusting. Filthy. Depraved. Immoral. Wrong.

I can't vote for that. No, no. No can do. I can't vote for that, can't vote for that, can't vote for that, can't vote for that.

[HughMoran]

28. Just trying to lighten the mood a bit, and you show up with your bloody murder fest

:yoiks:

[AllentownJake]

29. By Tuesday the OPs will consist of grunts

and stick figure pictures.

[HughMoran]

30. I can hardly wait

looks like the best bet is to memorize the yoiks! smiley :hi:

[AllentownJake]

31. Here you go for your role

and for mine

[HughMoran]

32. more like

[hileeopnyn8d]

33. I don't know if I'm

more disturbed by the bloody murder rhetoric, or the reciting of the bad Hall & Oates song.

[HughMoran]

35. I had to look up the song I referenced in the O/P

It's by a country singer named Lynn Anderson - I was 8 when it was popular :)

I beg your pardon,
I never promised you a rose garden.
Along with the sunshine,
There's gotta be a little rain sometimes.
When you take, you gotta give, so live and let live,
Or let go.
I beg your pardon,
I never promised you a rose garden.

I could promise you things like big diamond rings,
But you don't find roses growin' on stalks of clover.
So you better think it over.
Well, if sweet-talkin' you could make it come true,
I would give you the world right now on a silver platter,
But what would it matter?
So smile for a while and let's be jolly:
Love shouldn't be so melancholy.
Come along and share the good times while we can.

I beg your pardon,
I never promised you a rose garden.
Along with the sunshine,
There's gotta be a little rain sometimes.


I beg your pardon,
I never promised you a rose garden.

I could sing you a tune or promise you the moon,
But if that's what it takes to hold you,
I'd just as soon let you go, but there's one thing I want you to know.
You better look before you leap, still waters run deep,
And there won't always be someone there to pull you out,
And you know what I'm talkin' about.
So smile for a while and let's be jolly:
Love shouldn't be so melancholy.
Come along and share the good times while we can.

I beg your pardon,
I never promised you a rose garden.
Along with the sunshine,
There's gotta be a little rain sometimes.

[hileeopnyn8d]

37. Oh, not your post!

Post #24 - the last line in the post from bloody murder guy is from an early '80s Hall and Oates song.

An annoyingly bad one at that.

[HughMoran]

38. Yes, I realize that, but you got me thinking about the song I referenced

After looking up the lyrics, I realized that the song was more apropos that just the title!

[hileeopnyn8d]

40. It really is fitting

My mom used to sing that to my Dad sometimes. She did it to annoy him, it worked, she had a terrible singing voice.

I was 8 when it came out too, I guess we're the same age!

[HughMoran]

42. I think we're at the center of the bell curve here as far as age goes

Polls have been done in the past and people in the 45-55 range dominate this place.

[hileeopnyn8d]

34. Really?

You're turning sappy Hall & Oates lyrics into a protest song?

[2tr4nqued]

44. When you have so much wanton murdering going on...

everything becomes a protest.

I'm pretty sure the drum line at the beginning is from Michael Jackson's (RIP) "Billie Jean."

He is still with us. Be strong, Jermaine.

And please, Obama, stop killing the children. ;)

[hileeopnyn8d]

45. Tito, hand me a tissue.

[AllentownJake]

12. and you call me an attention whore

:rofl:

[HughMoran]

14. Hey bud, I'm trying to lighten the mood around here a bit

C'mon, it's funny :)

[AllentownJake]

17. Good luck with that

People are going to be acting crazy till Tuesday, Batshit Insane on Wednesday.

I got a good Star Trek book to read next week...think I'll take a vacation from DU for 3-4 days.

[HughMoran]

18. Good thinking

I should find a new book on the origins of the universe/dark matter or string theory - they suck all my time up - and then some.

[AllentownJake]

19. It's a book with a Q story line

always good for a mind fuck.

[HughMoran]

26. Who doesn't like omnipotence?

[Cha]

15. lol!

[imdjh]

36. No rose garden! No oval office!
