NEWS: Seriously Though, Can We Impeach Now?

Right on! I don't care what any one says, it's time we start taking care of ourselves instead of worrying about what the rest of the world thinks. Oh, and it's time the far left stop looking for every reason in the world to impeach just because their spinless "team" or party didn't win for the second time in a row. Until the democratics can nominate some one that can put all the bullshit behind and grab a little sack the republicans are going to control the house again.

Chances are that the individuals being tourtured hated americans anyway (including those that are hoplessly defending them) and they would've jumped at the chance to take any of us out. A little waterboarding never killed anyone

Sadly all of that is true.
That doesn't mean that it is right or ok and the reason so many on this site are adamantly opposed to torture and they way our government does business is because of that kind of record.
Yes the world is cruel and the government is fucked but we try to make a difference. We have discourse and try to figure things out and we do not support torture and behavior along those lines. We try to bring to light those issues that are fucked and wrong and against the very laws we impose on other people.
I spent almost 10 years in the Army and the Geneva convention was beat into our head. We were expected to treat out prisoners better than we would be treated because we were Americans and we set the standard.
If you sit back and say the world is fucked and a bad place and other people get tortured so it is ok to torture and kill people. And if some innocents get in the way that is just a small price to pay. Well sir, you are then part of the problem and part of why things like what you have listed above have happened.
By what I have gathered from reading your posts fighting for civil rights would have been pointless because of what goes on in the world.
Remember, America is supposed to set the standard, to be the beacon that other countries follow, we are supposed to be #1. That means we don't torture people and we try to change shit when it is fucked up.

Just to keep everyone on their high horse here.....every time you pump gas; you sanction torture! Every time you buy something from China; you sanction torture! Every time you buy clothes made from some sweatshop in a third word country; you sanction torture. The diamonds (gold too) your girlfriend or wife is wearing; helps sanction torture. Even some of the food you eat (especially fresh produce); you sanction torture! The list goes on and on. You all forget.......oh how you forget!!! These guys wanted to kill you and me (all of you, Muslim, non muslim, anyone who isn't in league with their beliefs) before our forces caught them.....and they still do! We all sit here behind our computer screens and bitch and moan.......but what are you really doing about things? Nothing!!! Because we are all sheep waiting for the Shepard to either let us out to pasture or slaughter us for dinner!!! Life might be precious, but life is cheap......how cheap you ask??? About 7 cents (USD).......that is the average cost of a bullet for a AK-47 (any AKM) or an M-16.

How did I miss this? Where can I buy Ammo for 7c a round, seriously I will drive there now if I can.

Toku666 said:

Hey, dude, I'm pretty sure the kaosmaker666 take on that is, bullets cost what they cost, and there's nothing you can do about it. What are you doing about it? You're sitting here talking about how much bullets cost on the Internets instead of doing something about it. This is the holy message of kaosmaker666, and there is no part of it that is at all illogical or poorly thought of.



But yeah, I haven't shot guns in literally decades and I knew bullets aren't that cheap. Not that the pricing of ammunition was necessarily the weak point in kaosmaker's argumentation.

I was joking.

You are an embarrassment to America and everything it stand for. Ironic, huh?

Virtute said:

I'm confused. First he says country of your choice, then limits it to Iraq, Iran, Syria, or Jordan. I want more choices for places in which to hate freedom!

If you're going to hate freedom, you might as well enjoy the weather.

I wonder if I can hate freedom with a nice rum based drink somewhere warm? That'd be good.
