(-; great grouping Eric, thanks ;-) Kill those Muslims, we know they are at the foundation of all the worlds problems. Wait, maybe it is the Christians, or ummm the veterans, or ahhh those that love freedom, liberty and inalienable rights, OR - never mind, we know there is a crisis, kill them all. -- Mike, Norwalk
Crisis is generally contrived. -- J Carlton, Calgary
"Crisis" is then followed by the "Big Lie"... -- Al, DC
This is why government keeps us in a perpetual war. -- jim k, Austin, Tx
Except at Lexington and Concord, of course that was a crises. The guys who posted above cannot see a crises because they care nor respect anyone or anything but themselves. -- Waffler, Smith
Waffler you are a complete idiot. Those examples you give were within a nation legitimately at war. We are no longer "legitimately at war". -- J Carlton, Calgary
-- irene3n2, Virginia
J Carlton - You'll have to excuse Waffler, Smith because he seems to live in alternative universe that cannot define or recognize absolutes. -- Mary - MI
Thanks Mary...my tolerance levels for "stupid" are pretty low these days. I'll work on it. :) -- J Carlton, Calgary
