Announcement

I know this isn't a popular topic, but based on my 12 years of selling equipment here and abroad the US consumer is hyper-sensitive to price. Products that will sell fine in Germany, Japan, Italy, Australia, New Zealand, etc. will fail in the US, simply because of price.
Which is why we have no Pioneer ODR, no Eclipse Sound Monitor, no Denon, etc etc //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif They just don't sell well here.

Again,Idiot, this is not directed at you,
LOL........sorry, but that's funny to read. It sounds like a put down, but it's just his screen name. Hahaha........ (god, I must sound like a 12 yr old)

 
I have to say, that has to be one of the dumbest shirts ever created. That's like calling Bill Clinton a monogomist.

Not really. There are thousands upon thousands of Iraqi civilians, as well as Americans, who find it makes a pretty **** good point.

One that engages in acts or an act of terrorism

The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons.

Sounds pretty applicable to me...

Whether you agree with Bush's decisions in Iraq or not, you cannot call what he, and the United States, are doing there terrorism.

First of all there's the opinion his (and our) actions are illegal, there is no justice system our president, or us as citizens, officially oblidge by that has decided any of this is illegal.

Second, to use that definition in its broadest sense as you are doing, any leader of a nation that uses force on foreign soil could/would be labeled a terrorist. G.W Bush would, Bush Sr, Bill Clinton, Vladimir Putin, Tony Blair, etc. There is no political organization we are threatening with our actions in Iraq, unless you want to include Al Q'aeda. Then yes, Bush is the leader of the terrorists against Al Q'eada. Satisfied? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

I really dont understand the attempts (on boths sides) to demonize the other side's candidate. I think its a big factor on the extreme polarization our country seems to be moving towards politically.

Sure if you listen to the liberal media and ignore the many accounts from troops that were over there that seem to contradict that claim.

And sure some liberal hypocrites agree with it. But that doesn't make them right.

And there enlies the problem. Notice that it says "unlawful". The actions by President Bush were just following up on sanctions imposed on Iraq. Also note that it says "threatened". So is the UN and Clinton terrorists as well since they were the one who threatened these actions? President Bush just initiated those threats when Iraq didn't follow through. Of course it is a Republican administration that took action, so of course it was wrong. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif
