Scores in 25th

YEP...AMERICA SUPPORTING AMERICANS. WHAT A FUCKING CROCK!!!!

What would Jesus do

by Bush Admirer Friday, Mar. 28, 2003 at 11:16 PM

You forgot yhe most important part of his war life, when he embraced Jesus and began to see that he was chosen to initiate the rapture where most of humanity get sent to Hell and he and his friends go to heaven. You dumb liberals don't realize that the only war Bush is really fighting is this one, and that is why you are also the enemy. You will die, by Bushes sword, or Ashcrofts inquisition and go to hell, and then our heaven of a clean white America will triumph.

Surely Bush Ass-kisser is on crack..

by apache Friday, Mar. 28, 2003 at 11:43 PM

And crackheads and cokeheads like bush don't go to heaven. Neither do vile, judgemental wannbe christians like B-ass above.

Get over it, B-ass, the rapture already happened and you got left behind--all of the TBN and kirk cameron movies can't save you now.

"hell awaits the judgemental soul..."

Simple

by Simple Simon Saturday, Mar. 29, 2003 at 12:00 AM

Don't fall for it, Apache. You're conversing with our 13 year old friend who likes to assume other people's identities.

Simon

by Bush Admirer Saturday, Mar. 29, 2003 at 12:06 AM

That post really WAS me, you simpleton. Take your head out of your ass, you paranoid schizo.

Keeping You In Check

by Unrelenting Saturday, Mar. 29, 2003 at 12:16 AM

Here are the facts:

* Bill Clinton registers for the draft on September 08,

1964, accepting all contractual conditions of

registering for the draft. Given Selective Service

Number # 3 26 46 228.

* Bill Clinton classified 2-S on November 17, 1964

* Bill Clinton reclassified 1-A on March 20, 1968

* Bill Clinton ordered to report for induction on July 28,

1969

* Bill Clinton dishonors order to report and is not

inducted into the military

* Bill Clinton reclassified 1-D after enlisting in the

United States Army Reserves on August 07, 1969

under authority of Colonel E. Holmes. Clinton signs

enlistment papers and takes oath of enlistment.

* Bill Clinton fails to report to his duty station at the

University of Arkansas ROTC, September 1969.

* Bill Clinton reclassified 1-A on October 30, 1969, as

enlistment with Army Reserves is revoked by Colonel

E. Holmes and Clinton now AWOL and subject to

arrest under Public Law 90-40 (2)(a) 'registrant who

has failed to report..remain liable for induction'.

* Bill Clinton's birthdate lottery number is 311, drawn

December 1, 1969, but anyone who has already been

ordered to report for induction, is INELIGIBLE!

(1976), while a fugitive from justice.

* Bill Clinton receives pardon on January 21, 1977

from Carter.

* Bill Clinton FIRST PARDONED FEDERAL FELON

All these facts come from Freedom of Information

requests, public laws and various books that have

been published and have gone unrefuted by Clinton.

SO, CHECK...

by Impeach Bush Saturday, Mar. 29, 2003 at 12:20 AM

...that makes what Bush did OK?

Wow...I guess right wingers think that two wrongs DO make a right.

Geeeeeeez: At least I see that you did not deny that GW is exactly what he is: A draft dodger. That is exactly what you have. A Draft Dodging Bush who was not willing to put his life on the line and is now leading American troops where he would not go. Fuck that.

Your Chickenhawk leader is a yellow coward. Get it, Check?

???

by josh Saturday, Mar. 29, 2003 at 12:35 AM

what makes conservatives think that people who question bush are clinton apologists?

Not President???

by What??? Saturday, Mar. 29, 2003 at 12:55 AM

Bill Clinton isn't the President anymore???

Someone had better let HIM know.

Mmm Bill

by Clinton Admirer Saturday, Mar. 29, 2003 at 1:00 AM

I thought you liberals that post on here hated so-called

"trolls."

After reading...

by Diogenes Saturday, Mar. 29, 2003 at 4:14 AM

...all the shit posted in this thread I have a couple of comments:

1. If Bush had not been the son of a Wealthy and Influential Politician he would have face Courts Martial for Desertion.

2. Clinton's record as Draft Dodger is, in the light of current events, absolutely irrelevant.

3. None of Bush's Whore House Advisors has ever worn a Uniform in service to their county with the exception of Colin Powell and that incompetent boob Rumsfeld.

4. Not one of the fucking Cowards has a child in Uniform in Combat for their little War of Conquest.

5. Only one member in 535 Congresspersons has a son in the Enlisted Ranks.

When the children of the elites begin serving will be a cold rainy day in hell.

GREAT REPLY:

by Diogenes, You Rock!!! Saturday, Mar. 29, 2003 at 4:18 AM

Loved what you pointed out about the military records of Bush and his advisors and the rest of the DC elected representatives. Thanks for some intelligent commentary.

and...

by fresca Saturday, Mar. 29, 2003 at 4:24 AM

"When the children of the elites begin serving will be a cold rainy day in hell."

So what? What's your point Rupert?

Pitiful

by Bush Admirer (the real one) Saturday, Mar. 29, 2003 at 4:27 AM

by systemfailure Saturday, Mar. 29, 2003 at 11:55 AM

very entertaining but please ease up on the immature name calling of those who you disagree with since it would be nice for kids and other people, who are turned-off by vulgar language , to be able to read and participate in discussions like these. Obviously both of our last 2 Presidents were able to weasel out of risking their own lives for our Country, which would be forgiveable if they stayed out of leadership roles. But when they start commanding our Country's soldiers to die for their ambitions or poor decisions, and other Countries' innocent citizens, that is when they should be removed from office and put in prison for the rest of their lives, in a room with photos of all the people they are responsible for getting killed.
