Re: [POLL] Immunity or not; what say you? said by amigo_boy:said by Karl Bode: Again I think you confuse a broken and corrupt system of Justice with vindication and/or moral authority. Get back to us in a decade or so once the bright lamp of history has a chance to burn off the rhetoric of fear. They've already demonstrated the ends justify the means. At first we went to war in Afganistan because that's where the Taliban was holding out.
Next, we wake up in Iraq becuase "Sadaam is a threat to America"..
Next, he has weapons of mass destruction.
Next, he's harboring the Taliban.
Next, he's busted and knowingly ignored information that should have changed his mind..
Finally, we went to Iraq to be seen as liberators and rebuild a democracy.
I can certainly see how the self-styled freedom fighters have already demonstrated that they see the ends justifying the means.
By the way.. what exactly is the "self-styled freedom fighter?" Would that be the person that goes against the current administrations popular belief, not going along with what the majority of popular believe?
In that case, when the democrats take over office this election season, would that turn the tables and make the republicans the new self-styled freedom fighters?
This line of thinking is annoying, to say the least. If someone is on the other side, let's throw some nasty label on them. Just like the Republicans have the "conservative movement" while the gays have "an agenda" and somehow "agenda" is supposed to be 1) different, 2) bad? Just like when former President Clinton speaks, the Republicans will say "why doesn't he just go away, he's not even in office any more" yet those very Republicans will spend all day long listening to people like Newt Gingrich or when not listening to him, they're practically trying to contact Regan from beyond the grave.
Please.. spare us all the negative "other side" name throwing. It's nothing but political BS. |
