When did Conservatives become a bunch of ..........

Hmm I guess all the fear mongering by the GOP has finally caught up with them. For Conservatives to be afraid of our own system has finally shown how fragile Conservatives actually are. I guess it means nothing to them, to see that when we actually dump our system and our freedoms, for fear of attacks by some "rogue" a** ho*** the terrorist have won.
I hear a lot of chatter about our founding fathers from conservatives but it seems they have forgotten a very important statement from Ben Franklin and maybe they should revisit his writings. For Conservatives to be crying about how dangerous it is to bring the 9/11 group here for trial here, is well a bunch of , as my six year old grandson would call it, a bunch of "cry babies". It becomes more and more apparent every day that the "conservatives" actually think that we as a country cant do crap! As a group that keeps screaming that they love America, seems they love America but hate Americans in the same breath. And can some one please explain to me when we went to war with Pakistan? I keep hearing that we picked them up from the "battle field" but we picked them up in Pakistan. So next time you have a Conservative complain about "Obama's Bow" ask them why they complain about this, at the same time their party leaders bow to the exact same terrorist that attacked us on 9/11 . Seems there is a pattern here when you think about it, Nixon bowing to the same emperor who attacked us at Pearl Harbour and the Conservatives wanting us to bow and give in to the terrorist.

Obama and the 'bow'...

I have been reading over the couple of days about Obama 'bowing' to Japan's emperor and the supposed 'outrage' it caused from the right. Sometimes it's hard to believe the stupidity of some people over such a simple gesture. Pictures and video of the bow are posted all over the place, as though the President did something wrong. As a long time Martial Artist I have bowed thousands of times to friends and opponents. I have done so in tournaments, amateur fights, training, or practice. And, if I may boast a little... I never lost. Well, once I did, it was a Kumete competition and I really didn't know the rules. I took 2nd place. Anyway, 'bowing' isn't showing weakness as the right has been proclaiming. Bowing to your opponent or friend is actually demonstrating strength. Bowing demonstrates honesty and trust. Not weakness. It is absurd to compare Dick Cheney's nonchalance of meeting the Japanese emperor to Obama's meeting. In some Asian cultures, not bowing is the sign of weakness and distrust.

Boy, the right will try and find anything to glare at, even a simple gesture of trust from our President.

Carry on.
