Gene, you know so little of history.
You really should seek some kind of refund from:

I am disappointed when anyone declares WAR a "thing we must do as humans." I agree that we have a sordid record of killing and greed as MANKIND. The White Men of the planet seem to have some kind of "delusions of grandeur" complex thinking we can rule the South and expect anyone with darker skin to bow to us and do the dirty work.
Kennedy negotiated Peace with Russia over Nuclear Testing in the Atmosphere. He wanted to keep us out of Vietnam and other Far Eastern clandestine activity. He appeared to have little to no relationship to Big Oil which thrives on war and low prices paid to the owners of the desert sands. Just now we are seeking a renewed relationship to Cuba. The Conservative Reagan-god committed billions of our dollars on Star Wars technology that really did not produce reliable defense weapons. We out-spent Russia to the point their economy went belly up. Now we don't know who has been sold their nuclear play-toys alongside US play-toys in abundance . . . I say: "We never find progress through war except in more technology to kill more people in the future. We have the power of the sun in our human hands---just as those who built the Tower of Babel to figure God out. Could that tower have been an ancient memory of a rocket which blew mankind back down deep in caves and radiated animals into becoming "Thunder Lizards"???? History always repeats itself. Do we learn to live more kindly and respectfully ever?????

Go to Jesus' way of turning the other cheek and returning good for evil . . . DO YOU DARE TO TAKE THE CHANCE TO LOVE YOUR ENEMY????

You know Ted, that is the hard truth of it.
There has never been continual peace, there will never be continual peace, and for a president to govern as if there are no threats to this American public is not only naive, it is treasonous.

I do not see questions. I see answers. The answer is NO. We cannot live in Peace.
Never has been and never will be.

Stan requested I write an article some months ago concerning ANGER and TRUTH. This morning I did a review of my articles and this one applies to much of the political wrangling right now. It also applies to the Moslem/Christian battle from long ago --- and now renewed with the Middle East War over TERRORISM.

AT LAST --- you guys are starting to communicate your real question: "How can we stand by when heads roll in the Middle East. Maybe we should NUKE 'UM!"
The tactics of the Terrorists are the same as Early American Indians with General Custer. They knew he had better arms and more men, but lured him to Little Big Horn. He now had no fort and on the open plain they had the advantage! That was the Native American response to our GENOCIDE of them. The same applies to 9/11 and the beheadings by the sea. It is the same kind of eye-horror as lynchings and hangings in the Frontier Days. The reality was a strange mix of entertainment and justice all mixed up in a ball. It was intended to frighten people into obeying the law. With 9/11 Bush took the bait. In the same continued battle with the Middle East, our President is attempting to negotiate Treaties and get the Troops home. Are you both wanting me to say---"Send in all you want and damn the costs? We must win and prove we can boss the Middle East?"

Pacifism did not work before World War II, and it will not work now.
Apologies for America, while Christians perish, and Liberals find a moral equivalency to explain why the best of America still cares about a world that we helped keep relatively safe for a while. A safer world equates to a safer America. Actually, it is a very Christian concept.

You see Gene, I can follow Bobby Tony here as he gets all esoteric about Alice and her stoned friends and acquaintances, but I'm having a hard time following your logic.
A bad cop, or a mistaken cop injuring someone in their care, or when arresting them is just not the same as marching 30 'dark skinned' Christians down by the Mediterranean Sea, and then carving their heads off while the camera records the depravity. You see, I actually care about these 'dark skinned' Christians. Why do not liberals?

I beg your pardon, Stan---but you are doing the Conservative dance over "hate without appearing hateful." Killing is Killing--- mass or individual / hate is hate ---whether to an individual or a group.
I am trying to be to the point and stay nice, but you and Robert are so Conservative as to not see how the hateful parts of Conservatism aren't nice ~~~ in fact pure EVIL. Hitler and the Nazi Party did not see it either / the nation of Germany did awful things --- thinking they were Aryan Supremacists deserving whatever they took. When you loose you moral center----as we did with POW Torture of Bush/Cheney----I just call it "immoral evil with stupid people not seeing the immoral part of it." Psychosis is dangerous. Too many are suffering from such today = you DO NOT KNOW YOURSELF AND EVEN IN THE MIRROR HAVE ON A MASK OF NICE. God is not fooled and sees you to your core of foolish humanity. Jews of the OT were convinced God commanded them to commit genocide on all the people and animals they were to conquer. Jesus just whupped tail on the Moneychangers at the Temple who suffered from the same DECEPTION, my brothers. . .

You see, the way this all works is if you can't recognize genocide, which is the purposeful extermination of a people; because of one's: race, or faith, or ideology, or for what ever reason, you will not know it when it occurs again, as you are having trouble now reconciling it for its expressed purpose right now - the genocide of Christians.
That is how 6 million Jews were exterminated, and about another 4 million: Pols, Gypsies, intellectuals, homosexuals, political adversaries, etc. were slaughtered just a tad more than 70 years ago by one nation under the wrong flag - an evil flag. This has nothing to do with Conservatives, or John Kennedy, or Timothy McVeigh, or bad cops, or Ronald Reagan or George Bush or Dick Cheney. This is about unrecognized genocide by Islamists and Liberals; what an unholy alliance, because this all has very much to do with Barack Hussein - the 'President with dark skin' that you are infatuated with. It is his charge to deal with this, and he has not. But one thing is for sure, his constituents sure get their food stamps on a card and their subsidized health care, their housing, etc, etc.

Stan---Is this Southern-speak / Conservative-speak / or Bull-speak??? I really do not follow any logic in your comment over war. I know you expected me to agree or somehow show my ignorance that "we should NOT kill Muslims in masses."
Killing is the same word as genocide. The genocide is like saying "execute" as opposed to "kill the bastard." Stan wants some kind of high ground applied to conservatives advocating war against an "evil nation." America has always wanted some justification to go to war rather than just "we want their oil + heroin poppies." The current fiasco in the Middle East is hard to justify. 9/11 brought commercial jets into buildings with thousands killed. Questionable government intelligence prevented it from being stopped despite our knowledge it was in the works. The biggest question I still have is WHY WAS THE STANDING ORDER TO INTERCEPT AND FORCE DOWN A JET CLEARLY HIJACKED NOT FOLLOWED??? Such has to be COUNTERMANDED from a high level. That level is George Bush / Dick Cheney. We attacked Iraq over some pretense of WMD and Sadam Hussain somehow promoting ISIS. At the same time, I am told ALL OUR MILITARY BASES are located on a proposed oil pipeline long drawn in the sand to the Persian Gulf. Surely oil and government would never lie to any of us!!! The Old Testament and Conservatism seem to go together in lock step. "Eye for eye / tooth for tooth" is its simple basis. The only "justice" is obtained with vengeance. From the days of the 10 Commandments battles rage and people are never happy or peaceful in the Middle East. Perhaps, about 10% of most Conservative Preaching is from the New Testament. They cloak the Jesus Way with a black tarp of get even HATE. I am a Believer that Jesus is the Christ--the Son of God--who showed us more of what God is really like. The Jews were looking for a new David with a sword, instead they got a Prince of Peace who said, "Forgive you enemies!" that is the secret to solving HATE---you fail to respond in kind. Instead you work on understanding and diplomacy. John Kennedy recognized the Vietnam problem was really a Civil War. Our Generals and Conservatives had couched it in terms of Communism vs. Democracy. There was no win to it for us an ocean away. The Genocide of him in front of our eyes in Dallas was a great American tragedy before my college freshman eyes! I won't ever forget! Blood and brains sprayed over a pink dress and flowers will forever be burned into my brain. His wife chased his skull fragments over the back of the car! I studied it carefully at the time --- and into today. A single bullet from a lone assassin is ridiculous for me! I have seen the Zapruder film as his head peeled from front right to back. It took a bunch of people and an immoral level of evil to bring it off. Conservatives rejoiced / I threw up!!! The exact same HATE is being applied to our President with dark skin today. JESUS HAD DARK SKIN FOLKS!!! Killing is WRONG according to the 10 Commandments. Add all the "buts" to it you want, God loves LIFE and is the creator of such / Jesus was brutally killed by religious conservatives, BUT God raised him from the dead! ANY KIND OF GENOCIDE SUCKS, Stan. Take my word. It accomplishes NOTHING!!!

The issue is no longer the Liberal's intrinsic need to form some moral equivalency, as Gene rushes to defend liberal positions (not that there's anything wrong with that), but to understand that there is a logic to living and a logic to dying.
Since the Age of Enlightenment, Christians have learned to live more by Christ's example, his teachings, rather than forging Christ's Kingdom by brute force. Now that we are far beyond those early days of the eighteenth century, wars are not fought for religion, excepting the radicalized Muslims, who, obviously, have missed the whole Age of Enlightenment thing. This is what trips up Liberals, who generally don't do history unless it has been liberalized so they can understand it. They do the moral equivalency commentary because they can conceptualize the 'Howard Zinn talking points' to a point that they can speak it, and then defend it for about 1/2 of a round to some, maybe a few, but are completely unable to take it too far beyond that because of their 'talking points' level of knowledge. Remarkably, many Liberals are well educated, but instead of learning real information, logic, and the ability to reason, many were indoctrinated by half-ass professors with more of an agenda than any true working knowledge of this real world. They graduate, feel good about themselves, get jobs and then are lost. That's about the truth of it.

Since Jesus encouraged all his followers to be full of grace and love---I will err on the side of such and let God deal with any more details of judgement . . .

The good Muslims, and I know that there are multitudes, have a huge battle ahead whether they know it or not. They will be called upon to choose, and they will need to choose wisely.
That also is the truth of it.

Another note on the subject of "Who gets into Heaven," Tony. This poem got me thinking as we all had to memorize it in the 8th grade of Clarkston High School:
www.poetryfoundation.org Until this "Muslim going to heaven" thing came up, I had forgotten about Abu ben Adhem, buddy!

Simple answer: The Bible in the New Testament speaks ONLY to a witness for Christ and his being God's Son. Their view is a witness rather than a theological treatise.
If you look at man's relation to God, there is some dispute over what is the real nature of both Heaven and Hell. The idea of Purgatory is not even there, but a serious thing for Roman Catholics. All is in the category of "things not seen nor proven." It is my view that when Jesus said, "Love God and your neighbor as yourself" it implies that this is far more important than the NT witness that "Jesus is the ONLY way to Heaven." They lived in such a bad earthly starvation/surf place that their only focus was on The Eternity to Come---as if only they would be there. The Soul on earth knows no "perfect knowledge" --- and then all will be revealed to us.

Stick with your Conservatism, Stan --- maybe a few of us "liberals" will make it to heaven as well, brother!
Try not to be too surprised when "All God's Children" --- includes us both and a few Muslims thrown in as well, man . . .

What I write is true. The truth only knows one side, and that is just the truth of it.
I actually don't believe that there is a moral equivalency for everything. That is a Liberal fantasy, and I don't ascribe to those fantasies as everyone knows.
