    What you are likely to see if the worst comes to pass is the greatest exhibition of open source warfare and systems disruption the world has ever seen. Think of the Iraqi insurgency writ ten thousand times greater with an American military unwilling to intervene.

    The left doesn't have a unified ideology. In fact the interests of some leftist coalition members is antithetical to other coalition members. However, they are unified by the perception of a common enemy. Think of the WWII unity of the Soviet Union, America, and the UK. That unity was based on the perception of a common enemy.

    my only problem is that he only finished half the job, Obama should have commanded to kick the muslims asses in that region as well. both those psycho christians and nutcase muslims deserve to be "removed from the battlefield" .

    Many thanks for the explanation of your views. So being 'leftist' is not a problem in your opinion. But being 'leftist' in the USA is.

    OK. You have more experience than I do of that. But I am glad to see that you don't view leftists in the international sense in disdain. I apologise for getting that impression from some of your posts..

    Because the left believes in personal liberties?

    I am sure that IS terrifying to the Right.

    The realization of past error is the basis for introspection not terror.

    I challenge the notion that the country is divided between "leftists" and "conservatives". It's a false dichotomy. We aren't diametrically opposed on every issue. The media uses this false dichotomy to pose the people against each other and use the polarization technique to maintain the two party corporate oligarchy.

    I feel that scenario is very unlikely.

    Two nights ago I stopped by a Taqueria to pick up some food. I parked in back. I had to pass by two Sureno gang sentinels before I got inside. When I left my way was blocked by two huge enforcers who inspected me up and down before allowing me to pass. If they had made the wrong moves I would have shot them on the spot. They didn't realize that this little old man is better armed than they are. This is reality for me.

    The same powers that controlled the US and UK during WWII created the Soviet Union AND the Nazi party in Germany.

    Antony C. Sutton...

    Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution

    Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler

    America's Secret Establishment

    This is a brief explanation of their end goal and how they aim to achieve it...

    yes, but highlighting difference and controversy attracts attention - and the way the media is structured in modern free market economies is to get "market share" of viewers/listeners - so therefore - the divisions are highlighted, and the commonalities ignored.

    I am often amazed at what people here think of as conservative values.

    Probably further left than 95% of leftist americans, it wouldn't occur to me to sit on my bum and do nothing rather than work. It wouldn't occur to me that I would be better off leeching off others, I have never been prone to drug or alcohol abuse, and quite frankly believe that these things have far reaching negative consequences on people ...

    but according to the conservatives here, because of my views I am a lazy, leeching drug user.

    my personal values are not "conservative" - but based on what I regard as common sense, mixed with a very heavy dose of life experience - but here they are identified as conservative.

    which probably says a lot about the general intolerance of people such as yourself, and your propensity for slaughtering those you don't agree with.

    ever thought of joining Al Qaeda ... or maybe the Lord's Resistance Army?

    Asking if Limbaugh is really that stupid is like asking a fat guy if he likes cake.

    conservatives have far more in common with Al Qaeda than leftists do.

    Traits associated with the authoritarian personality, such as conventionalism, authoritarian submission, authoritarian aggression, anti-intellectualism, stereotypy, power and "toughness", destructiveness and cynicism, and projectivity are associated with both conservatives AND Al Qaeda.

    Its not about Muslims.

    I realise it is hard for someone like you to understand that every conflict is not about muslims, but thats the reality.

    No the muslim terrorists have been slaughtering for centuries, everywhere they get a foothold.

    That does not excuse the LRA.

    Alas, they didn't make the "wrong moves". I can certainly understand and appreciate that there are times when people feel threatened. I have had similar experiences though I do not carry a weapon. It's not the weapon we may be carrying, but how we carry ourselves that earns us the respect we get.

    The whole thing is a sham. The notion that we are divided along ideological left and right is just another way to divide us. It's not merely so they can market trinkets to us, but also so they can market ideas, frame the debate, and push us to choose sides from teams that are already working together for the same overlord.

    I hold many views that would be considered "conservative" and many that would be considered "liberal". I tend to be "liberal" regarding individual freedom and "cobservative" regarding the power of government. I think this makes me American.

    A snipe hunt is a wild goose chase.
