I will repeat myself for you too.
I will post what I want and how I see it. I did not make a list...KD did. Your name was on it. IMO, you are always blasting my country's foreign policy. I will continue to let you know when it bothers me.

Linda, I was just trying to show you that the people I listed didn't fit into the category you've put them all in... like Kiara posted "anti-American, hate-filled, socialistic, pacifistic, communistic, un-American, extremist, left-wing radicals that are bashing the troops and the government". I don't see any of that coming from any of them.

KD - Well others did at the time and said so. But of course that appears to have slipped every lefties mind now.

Linda, since you are being questioned about your policy, maybe you should answer rather than try to shift responsibility to others.
But you've been posting non stop for about 19 hours since 1AM PST.. Maybe it's time for a break?

Oh yes....... the 'list'. Linda, thanks kindly for reminding me because I neglected to mention it in my posts today and I meant to thank Kraft for adding my name to the 'list' and for being astute enough to recognize the names of some who are being wrongly targeted as bashing the troops.
Keep up the good work, Kraft! You made some excellent points here and asked some good questions throughout, some which remain unanswered.

helen I sure hope you don't apply for a job where you're in charge of time-cards. Cause you'd have the company paying for all the time the employee WASN'T even working or not there.
But it appears to be a strange 'quirk' some lefties have here ....some count the number of posts...some pretend to keep track of how long one is online...what else? hmmm...and they only choose to do that to those righties who backed the BEST man for the WH. Must be mis-directed anger.

Let's see....do we pay more per post we make?
Is there an hourly charge to post?
Are you really THAT anal, helen.
Have you questioned others...say crowfarm...on his/her postings...or do you make list of posting times on everybody to go along with those 'files' you keep. Or am I just THAT special to you.
That was hysterical...
But let me put it this way....grin and bear it or put me on ignore

So what? Now you want to be my mommy? Now it's all of a sudden YOUR business what I need or don't need?
It affects your life in some way that I'm here more than you might like me to be?
sigh...it's been so long since I had to remind you of this helen....but it appears necessary once again. YOU take care of helen...and I'LL take care of Linda.. how's that?

It just goes to show that you have proved me right Helen. People do keep posts of others only to come in and critize. Now show us where it says in the RT how many times you can post and can't post. I must have missed that rule. Slap you hands Linda you committed a no no by posting
What a waste of time that was it adds nothing to a thread except shows how ignorant posters are.

libra, I don't sit at the computer like many have to in order to post...I can post and be doing something at the same time. I have posted a lot today. SO WHAT? To me it shows how very petty and small they can get at time.
But you've got to admit it's funny when helen went to all the trouble to find out my posting times. And you'll notice please how she says "I'M NOT LYING". like I had never even accused her of that.
That type of behavior reminds me of those under surveilance by the KGB or the FBI
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Four More Years....YES!!!
Linda said, "helen I sure hope you don't apply for a job where you're in charge of time-cards. Cause you'd have the company paying for all the time the employee WASN'T even working or not there"
Linda, you need to get in touch with what you are saying. (see the quote above) When I mentioned the fact that you had been posting for 19 hours non stop, you inferred that my facts were wrong. But unlike you, when I make a statement I am always prepared to back it up.

DO you work for the FBI or KGB helen?
You'd better hurry...President Bush is on TV in right now ET....you might catch the last of his speech. He got several standing ovations. You'll love it.

You made that statement libra...I did not.
I agree that beginning a sentence like that is rather childish. In fact, I see most of your posts as childish.

I almost collapsed myself--with laughter. The man starts off by saying we've got to get government spending under control, which is a hoot since he's run the government into more debt than any president in recent memory....then turns around and starts talking about new programs he has in mind that will raise that debt even more!

The active-duty Army is in danger of failing to meet its recruiting goals, and is beginning to suffer from manpower strains like those that have dropped the National Guard and Reserves below full strength, according to Army figures and interviews with senior officers .
For the first time since 2001, the Army began the fiscal year in October with only 18.4 percent of the year's target of 80,000 active-duty recruits already in the pipeline. That amounts to less than half of last year's figure and falls well below the Army's goal of 25 percent.

Good Morning America.....the Gestapo posting monitor thinks I'm lying. Because SHE can't find an article I referred to at the BEGINNING of this month....then I'm lying. right...helen.
Guess your searching skills AREN'T as good as some might like to believe.
WASHINGTON — While the Army and the Marine Corps are straining to meet their yearly recruiting goals, the Air Force and the Navy are having banner years and may wind up turning away thousands of potential recruits.
The Air Force says it is so overstocked that it has a backlog of about 9,000 enlistees who have not yet been called to duty. It has slashed its 2005 recruiting target from 35,000 to 24,000.
Together, the Air Force and Navy say they are planning to reduce the total number of troops by more than 27,000 in 2005. In contrast, the Army and the Marine Corps, which are providing the bulk of ground troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, are adding more than 12,000 troops this year.

Anything ELSE you'd like to say I've lied about helen? I don't lie. But you appear to me to be a cheerleader for those who do on top of being our 'posting monitor'.

Linda, you said...I just read the US. Airforce and Navy have turned away somewhere around 9,000 people who wanted to sign up."
Your article said, "The Air Force says it is so overstocked that it has a backlog of about 9,000 enlistees who have not yet been called to duty:"
Nowhere does it say that they were "turned away" as if not being considered. Consider the use of the "not yet" qualifier. Polish up your reading skills dummy.

And, linda...it is your obligation to back up your statement ....not mine. But I can see why you originally refused if that is all that you had.

Killers on and off the battlefield?
February 21, 2005
BY FRANK MAIN Crime Reporter
Pierre Cole seemed high on killing. Cole, a soldier in Iraq, called his dad from overseas to boast about gunning down enemies in a firefight in 2003.
"He was on cloud nine," said his father, Willie Cole. "'Hey, I got a couple of them,' " he said. " 'I let loose.'"
Willie Cole -- a former military police officer who served in Panama when the United States deposed President Manuel Noriega in 1989 -- was shocked.
"It disturbed me, his reaction to the loss of life," said Willie Cole, a caterer in the south suburbs. "I said, 'Regardless of what you're over there for, the other guy is fighting for something, too. You have to respect that.'"
But Pierre Cole tuned out his dad.
"He commented to me, 'F--- it. I'm glad it's him, not me.'"
Now Pierre Cole, 22, is back from Iraq and facing a murder charge in Cook County Criminal Court for allegedly killing a West Side store owner, In Taik Jung, during a botched robbery Oct. 14.
Pierre Cole was on leave from Iraq. His father and others wonder if Cole's military experience played a role in the slaying.
Seven other soldiers from the same base -- Fort Riley, Kan. -- also have been charged with murder, for other killings, since August.
Five of those soldiers have been accused of killing civilians in Iraq, although the murder charge against one of them was dropped. Two more soldiers are charged with killing members of their unit near their base in Kansas. It's a rare cluster of murder cases for any one Army base.
Statistics obtained under the Freedom of Information Act show that 18 murder cases were tried under military law for the entire Army in 2003, 30 in 2002 and 18 in 2001. Of the current Fort Riley cases, every one but Cole's is being handled in military courts.
It's impossible to know if these defendants would have been charged in violent crimes had they never joined the military.
But Gary Solis, a former Marine prosecutor who teaches the law of war at West Point, suggested a study by the Army's inspector general on potential links among the murder cases.
"It is troubling to have these egregious murders in Iraq and now to have them in the States, too," Solis said. "Maybe they would look at leadership, garrison routine, enlistment records and pre-enlistment records to see whether they had juvenile records before they entered the Army."
Absolute faith has been shown, consistently, to breed intolerance. And intolerance, history teaches us, again and again, begets violence.
