    Big fucking deal, it turned them into a nation of peace loving folk. And, just an fyi, there's still families that mourn for the losses at Pearl Harbor.

    Mike The NYT - my leftist brochure. Calling an illegal alien an “undocumented immigrant” is like calling a drug dealer an “unlicensed pharmacist”. God doesn't believe in atheists, therefore they don't exist.

    Stay classy, Mike Gaskey. It was the only use of atomic weapons in war in the history of the world. It was a very, very big deal. Pearl Harbor was also a tragedy, but few civilians were killed during the attack on a military base in Hawaii.

        Being all talk and no walk is typically considered a lack of manliness. Go ahead and impeach them for defending the nation, I have nothing to lose from that. If they are guilty they should be impeached, if they are not it will destroy the democrat party. Either way, I win.

        The only conspiracies that concern me are the ones I am completely unaware of. By the time I find out about it, its probably a done deal. Nothing in the entire universe is more useless than morality without authority. A morality free of hypocrisy is no morality at all.

        It's not brave to electroshock someone's balls in a prison cell. It's gay. Like, really gay. And to take pictures of them stacked up naked? That's pretty gay, too. You know what else is gay? Being gay. And then cheating on your wife with a stranger in an airport bathroom. Keep calling us sissies, though.

        Then why not impeach him yourself? Why make us do it? Why are you all talk and no walk, Stan? Don't worry, we'll get your little buddy out of office for you while you watch TV and get fat.

          Because I don't believe he has done anything to be impeached for. You guys are the ones who seem to have some kind of evidence that I have not seen. If you have proof he has broken the law, impeach away. Makes me no difference.

            Really? So you have your finger on the pulse of what every Japanese person feels about the nuclear attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki? [I can't find any evidence of this, but I would imagine it would be impossible for us to say what the Japanese think about two of their cities being destroyed by bombs. We can only say that they mourn.

            Virtually everybody I talked to. And how it's portrayed in the media, which is usually a decent gauge of social perception.

              You've got to be kidding me. Saved lives, maybe, but we dropped those bombs on civilian targets. The nation of Japan has been in a state of cultural mourning for the victims of the attack ever since it happened.

              As are the Chinese in Manchuria and Nanjing, and many many other places in south east Asia over what the Japanese did to their civilians. All through the 30's the Japanese Imperial Army committed atrocities that were almost on par with Hitler's Germany. As sad as it is, civilians will always be hurt in war. How about all the civilians killed by their own governments during WWII, thanks to leaders like Stalin and Mussolini? Or due to inept leaders like Mao Zedong, which wasn't even war related?

                None of those incidents ring a bell with you? Shocking guys' balls and stacking them up into naked man-pyramids? You don't remember your beloved conservative administration supporting and condoning these acts? You don't remember your conservative senator Craig trying to get a blowjob from a man in an airport bathroom? Conservatives are faggots dressed up in camouflage to try to hide it. Be gay and proud, Stan, don't deny it like the rest of your party cohorts.

                Then why does it make no difference to you? Shouldn't you be upset about the attempted impeachment of a President that's done nothing wrong? Or are you just pretending it's no big deal so that when he is eventually shamed you will have been unimpressed from the start? It's bizarre. No one cares. The guy is going to ruin your party's credibility and power and you're standing by watching it happen, pretending not to care. You are the only person that doesn't realize how silly you look.

                  Yep, after reading that again, as written you are saying that torture is the only way to extract information. And if that were true I'd say torture the crap out of them. But if that were true, anybody that hands you a form to fill out or asks you what time it is is torturing you. I suspect that wasn't your intent, but what you write is all I've got to go on, and you definitely see things from a different perspective than I do so I don't dare guess at your meaning.

                  So why are you arguing that waterboarding is not torture if you are pro-torture? Do you ever get confused just thinking thoughts?
