You can go ahead and blame Obama for everything. It makes you look credible.
where does the hypocrisy end?
I've seen the "party on the right" say that Clinton let Bin Laden get away so it's his fault.
Bush was given threat assessments before (or during) his month long August vacation in 2001.
8 YEARS later Bin Laden is still on the loose. I'd LOVE to know why we couldn't see a "Mission Accomplished" banner for the Afghan war.
On another anti Obama related topic.. Were there any TEA Party protests by the "right" from 2000 to 2008?
link?

The Onion makes videos now? Man, I feel like an idiot for taking that out of my bookmarks a few years ago...

Simple working definition: "terrorism" is the application of criminal violence within a coherent framework of planning and execution to achieve a specified goal defined within an expressed philosophy. An "act of terrorism" is a single criminal act that can be conclusively linked to other criminal acts by placing it within a coherent framework of planning and execution to achieve a specified goal defined within an expressed philosophy.
Actual, a simple working definition is almost useless in this regard. In my military civil relations class we've already had 4 guest speakers on the matter, all outside experts who have come to different conclusions on defining the term.
Those who had a more loose definition seemed less tolerant on terrorist relations, and those who defined it with tighter restrictions tended to favor negotiations.
Regardless of their conclusions, most experts agree that a terrorist falls under the category of being raised under a "lethal cocktail". I don't want to do this explanation injustice, but if you look up the term you can see some similarities between the qualifications and Hasan's resume.

Saying that any of these "connections" are evidence that this was a terrorist plot is like saying because I buy weed in Chicago, I'm then responsible for or have in some ways perpetrated gang violence. If you don't understand the correlation (or in this class, lack thereof) then you need to stop calling me stupid.
Buying weed in Chicago? Wait...what are you talking about?

Disagree on Starks. He has a shoulder injury. Nothing that will affect his running. Other than a ding here or there he has no other major injury history. He may drop a few picks but he will be drafted and he will do well...unless the Bills draft him. Then he will be declared a bust after his first handoff where he fails to gain 10 yards...assuming he isn't killed behind our line.
PTR
I want to agree with everything you say, because I think Starks is awesome. But show me the history of running backs who have not played the year they've entered the draft and their status. Now show me the history of running backs who didn't play their senior year and were drafted and came from a MAC school.
-
It's true he lacks breakway speed, but he is like human velcro catching the ball. Did you see how hard he gets hit and still hangs on to the ball? He will be more of a Josh Reed possession receiver in the NFL.
Don't forget about RB James Starks. Could still be a 2nd rounder. His injury is to his shoulder, not his legs.
PTR
For the record, One of his touchdowns last night was a beautiful fly route with a decent pump fake/move.
Starks wont get drafted. End of story. He was "projected" to go 2nd round before the injury. As in, if he put in the same season he had the possibility of being a top 5 back in the draft. Now he looks injury prone. I'm sure he'll be able to fight for a spot in a camp, but he's probably too risky to get picked.
-
He's pretty impressive. He's contributed well against teams like Pitt and Missouri, so teams wont be able to toss in the old, look who he plays against garbage.
He keeps getting projected to the 4th round, and he'll walk into the draft statistically like the 3rd or 4th best receiver (career wise), but I'm sure he'll slip significantly as teams will be reluctant on a MAC WR who shows signs of being a little weak for the pro level.
-
Show your bias much? This guy has 9-11 links. He should have been detained and questioned YEARS ago if the accusations are true.
So yeah go ahead and blame Obama.
Clearly Ft. Hood is George Bush's fault.

At least I don't rely on adverbs, Shakespeare.
For the record, I just observe.

To answer both of your questions:
-AND- we don't have a Jingoistic President (with us or against us) and we didn't have THOUSANDS KILLED and National Icons (three in total if you count the towers as two) destroyed.
Oh. You went with Jingoistic on that one.
-
When did I offer my opinion on this matter?
Alright.
-
total times thrown for over 300 yards in the NFL: zero.
total times thrown for over 300 yards in the NCAA: zero.

The title of this thread is misleading. I saw 0 polls showing a majority of people actively against the Bill.
So in your opinion the majority of the people are in favor of nationalized health care/abolishing health insurance?
-
It's 2009 now.
Yeah, soon to be 2010. What does that have to do with passing judgment on terrorists?
-
There's no turning back on this one.
That's the message I'm hoping gets relayed. Essentially, when I asked how this bill could be taken away if passed, the answer is that it pretty much can't, at least not until its effects are so clear, and our country is in shambles years and years down the road. And honestly, we still have social security so I don't even think there is hope.
Folks, this is the end, my only friend, the end.

We missed out on Big Ben a few years back by only 2 spots. Every spot you move down is a bigger chance that the QB of the Future will be taken by someone else.
Right, and if we actually wanted Big Ben, we should've traded up, and made that our goal the entire draft, instead of settling for trading up late to get Losman. You guys rooting for the Bills to lose can't justify anything, you're all morons.

That's exactly what you're misinformed about.
I would bet every dollar I could get my hands on, people responding to that poll have very little idea of what its top 20 components actually mean, or will actually do, and how it would affect them, regardless of party. So the results are pretty meaningless.
A lot of it is unanswerable at this point to anyone, for better or worse. Not to mention that there still isn't even a bill yet that will be enacted.
Part of the reason is the complete distortion of what it will do and what it means by its opponents.
Part of the reason is the complete inability of its proponents to explain in simple terms what it will do and what it means.
Part of the reason is the media's complete obsession with the alleged daily winners and losers in the battle instead of using that time to explain what it means and what it will do.
Part of the problem is the numerous versions of the bills that offer contradictory points that add to the confusion.
Part of the problem is the public's unwillingness (for good or bad reasons) to do their homework and figure out what it actually will mean and do for them.
It's no surprise whatsoever that the country is torn. They have no idea what it will do.
That's a lot of typing you did without actually saying anything.

I listen to these 2 buffoons every night on the drive home, unfortunately they are the only sports talk show I can get on the radio. They've been pumping the "Actor" draft for several days. I guess if you call it a draft it qualifies for sports talk. I just wish another station would produce a sports talk radio show in the area as these two guys are just awful. I still think they contribute to road rage as I take my finger gun and shoot the radio several times during the week when I have them on.
I don't think Schopp the dope could take Ernest. Ernest has him beat on toughness and in smarts from his hilly billy upbringing.
I think WECK 1230 has a Brad Riter show on at the same time. However, it's actually a worse alternative, unless he's doing an interview.
-
Why would you idiots root for the Bills to fail if you admittedly realize they can only move up 3 slots.
Absolute morons.
You know there is another way to move up in a draft right?
-
Or simply put, most people are as misinformed about healthcare reform as many of you on this board have been for months now.
What is there to be misinformed about? In the end it's just another thing that you want the government to take over.

At the risk of reinviting a moron back, "Check it."
I'm shocked someone in Congress can be so frank in the current environment. Good for him.
That man is pretty legit.

With the Health Bill one step closer to actual passage, I have a few questions.
I'm not sure Obama has actually polarized our nation enough to lose a re-election, but assuming the republicans get their act together, and toss in a solid candidate, I'm curious to know if our country can be "saved".
Recalling the health bill will be something that might get tossed around in the campaign process, but I want to know if it can actually be done. If the Republicans can regain a few seats, and take the Presidency, what can be done about the Health Bill?
Assuming it is set to be enacted around the time of the election, you'd have to think that it would be on the forefront to attempt to make sure this thing never takes effect. I'm just not sure anything can be done.
Because of the apparent success of the New Deal, an effort was never really made to remove it. The Obama administration loves power, so they never considered repealing the PATRIOT Act, and so I'm left wondering if there are historic examples where a controversial bill was later dismissed after passage. It's probably never going to be deemed unconstitutional by the courts, so I can't think of how the right intends on getting rid of this nonsense.

I think this needs to be said...
The whole "you didn't read it" nonsense needs to stop.
No one here has read it. They have read several important excerpts, but no one here has taken the time to actually attempt to comprehend such rough legislation. It's not an easy read. And I don't mean, its not an easy read because the Harvard educated liberals who penned it are beyond us, I just mean that bills getting by the House tend to be framed with a bit of nonsensical meandering, and leave little up to implications.
I stand by the claim that if Conner didn't read it, I don't think any less of him. I'm against the bill and I've haven't read 1% of the 1,990 pages. I stand against the ideals of it. I'm going to leave it up to the judgment of others who have no life/are getting paid to break this thing down for the mean time. Once a little more of the pork gets taken out, and the Bill becomes a more readable length, I'll take a gander at expert analysis, but right now, it is perfectly fine to have not read any of it.

Watching the Buffalo Bills is like watching paint dry. Watching Vick on the Bills would be like watching a fly get stuck in some drying paint and watch him struggle to get free; exciting for about a minute, and the fly would probably score just as many touchdowns.
Why is that guy posting on an ESPN message board? That was genuinely funny/witty.
