    Do you honestly think I made ANY of those images up?

    ...and is an open-minded liberal implying that a kid of mixed origin doesn't know anything about science? Isn't that like taboo or something?

    ...my leader?

    Honestly, someone asked why I believed what I believed and where I could possibly get the notion. I merely provided pictures to demonstrate this. I know it's not going to change anyone's mind but I at least showed you guys some examples that led me to believe what I believe.

    So you do agree that there ARE people who feel this way? That's ALL I'M SAYING. However, any time someone says that on this board, they're hit with 100 posts asking how they could ever think anyone would feel that way and how they could ever accuse another American of something of the sort. Or how they're naiive. Or how they should follow their "leader."

    I guess this is as good a place as any to post this:

    http://michellemalkin.com/archives/004375.htm

    Sure, it's Michelle Malkin and some of you hate her. OK, fine. She does list 25 ways you can do something for the troops.

    What the heck I care if you're of mixed origin or pure breed. You probably hadn't weaned when I got my engineering degree from college. Now go back to your den to study your conservative textbooks.

    yes, but they are not on this board. the few people who feel this way had zero impact on the lack of planning for this unnecessary and unprovoked war. your "leader" put our troops in harms way.

    Why do you care? I don't know. Where did I get the idea that you did? Maybe it was...

    For the most part, I agree with you. I think that 99.99% of the people on this board disagree with the war more on strategic principles and want the US to succeed in the mission.

    By that I mean that they don't equate the troops as only bringers of destruction. They realize that some good is getting done. They disagree that the war should be in Iraq and think the war should be fought elsewhere (as in concentrating on the hunt for Osama). That's what I meant by strategic. I honestly believe that most of you were for action against the Taliban and Osama in retribution and just felt that action in Iraq was misguided and not part of the War on Terror.

    On this board or in general?

    And do you mean how many people who claim to support the war actually donate to charities that benefit troops or simply how many that claim to support the war also claim to support the troops?

    i mean that there is a disparity between those who support the troops, 99.9% of americans, versus support of bush. i don't see how one could support both. if you are going to accuse anyone of harming our troops start with w.

    Any guesses on how people like that (which, incidentally, comprises 100% of the anti-war folks on this board as near as I can tell) might be offended by being repeatedly accused of being pro-terror and anti-America?
