Oh sure, people can protest against multiple causes. And if you watched any of the coverage of the anti-war protests, you could see people carrying signs that had nothing to to with the Iraq war. People here have a right to march in the streets and carry signs protesting multiple targets. And I support their freedom of speech to do so. But my point is that they could have made a greater impact had they coordinated their protests against the people who attacked us and their supporters rather than the people who were trying to keep us safe against attack.
I wonder if there were any John 3:16 signs.....

But while they're trying to keep us safe from attacks they are making us more vulnerable. Also, the war against terror has cost more lives than the terrorist acts themselves. So if you know this is happening it's an Americans duty to speak up about it.
Hitler also believed in his agendas. My point there is that mere belief in something does not make it a good thing to do.
Bush has been in office long enough for people to see if his "beliefs" work for all people of which he is supposed to be leading not just those who have beliefs like him.
If Clinton ran by polls then that means that he was doing what most of America wanted which is what he is supposed to do up to a point. However, I don't think that is actually true he was for quite a number of things that a lot of people did not support in the beginning if ever. Gays in the military being the first one that comes to mind. People were not for his budget thing that he barely got passed with the deciding vote of Gore which after that we some pretty good years. On his watch medicare reform took place which is something his own party was leary about which led to a lot of welfare recipients going into work force.
On the other hand, what has Bush done with his beliefs that has turned out well for everyone not just a select few?

Edit (Moderator): Link and solicitation removed.
I see so if you link to something that is in the Status Quo it's okay but if you link to people that are against your ideas then you remove it. I was giving a person a place to go where they could talk about guns with like minded individuals and you remove the link. Where is the freedom of speech in that? I am not the owner of nor do I pay dues to that site and you remove it? That is rediculous. I think I have spent my last minute on this site and you can remove me from your member list.
saintsfanbrian: On your way out, you might want to read the TOS.
It is common for a mod to remove certain links. I wasn't aware of it being in the TOS, and I haven't ever actually figured out which links get removed, but I wouldn't let THAT be the reason to leave.
I also don't see where I was soliciting visitation. I posted a link that if one wanted to follow they could. I suggested it to a fellow gun owner. It was nothing that violated the terms of service.

The site I linked to does not sell items, does have surveys (of the type here at able2know) is not encouraging anyone to start a lawsuit. It was a gun forum, for people to talk about guns. You don't have to like them but it was a link to their site if you wanted to go. So don't tell me about the terms of service. I have seen links on this page to people selling things and they don't get removed.
Ask the moderators Saints. It may have been a simple misunderstanding. We would hate to lose you.

Of course there can be valid criticism of multiple targets. But sometimes it is prudent to discern and choose a side; i.e. the side that is most right.
I guess I'm left to anticipating the day that you understand that what you think is "most right" is a subjective matter and that others can feel differently without it being an "irrational" manefestation of "ABB".
You imply that choosing to criticize the Administrations's policy is to side with terrorists there, and that is simply a false premise.
