> Hardly propaganda as I simply want to protect the culture I grew up in. Your messages got me thinking--I feel like President Obama and many that we never should have gone into Iraq-those WMD's were not a slam dunk. So if Sadam had remained in Iraq I guess things for the US would have turned out a...

absinthe, your anti-Muslim propaganda is wrong, and it's potentially dangerous. The current wave of jihadism is a pretty recent development; it's been half a millennium since the Christians vs. Muslims holy wars during the Crusades, in which by the way Christians invaded Muslim lands rather than th...

absinthe, your anti-Muslim propaganda is wrong........ When rwetmore started his thread, "Dispelling the ‘Few Extremists’ Myth," I warned him to stop using Classical Music Guide as a platform from which to spread anti-Muslim propaganda, and now I'm warning you. Stop it, or I'll ask Lance to conside...

I'm surprised that you don't get it, jbuck919, and your attempt to soften absinthe's hard message is also surprising. If absinthe and rwetmore engaged in the kind of blanket and false condemnation of Judaism and all Jews that they have with Islam and all Muslims, they'd be out of here in a flash, a...

Do not think for a minute I am agreeing with your stance that anthropogenic climate change is not a humanity-threatening problem. It may not cause our extinction, but how bad does it have to be short of that before some people get the point that all science now supports? What evidence do you have t...

There doesn't seem to be much interest here in the actual military situation in the Middle East. To my surprise, only 20 members other than me have read this thread until now. Instead there's been a lot of kvetching that President Obama hasn't waved some kind of magic wand to make the Islamic State...

You know what? I've given this some thought, and maybe I've over done it with the number of new threads started in the last few months. I pledge to significantly back off the number of new threads I start going forward. Is that reasonable? I think so. That's acceptable, and what I have asked you to...

Just listen to Trump for the answers to your rhetorical questions. He did not call for a ban on admitting "radical Muslims" to this country. He did not call for a ban on admitting Muslims with ties to terrorist organizations from entering this country. He called for a ban on admitting ALL Muslims t...

Chalkperson

No further discussion. You have been warned. So now you're threatening to request me being thrown out over this? It's only your opinion that it is purely anti-Muslim propaganda. I don't think it is; moreover, I could argue it's effectively propaganda to deny or supress such evidence and be held to ...

Chalkperson

I ridicule you, that's very true, but I feel you insult our intelligence a lot of the time and rightfully deserve all you get I virtually never directly insult anyone. I simply point out very cleverly that those you support and vote for are insulting you and your intelligence. Like on a regular ong...

Look, I know -- this is a liberal dominated board. I provide the (unwanted) balance. I am overtly insulted here all the time, and it's allowed by the moderator, where as if I or another conservative did it, I'd be banned. I'm not complaining -- just pointing it out. It doesn't bother me that I'm ou...

Chalkperson

Chalkie, I'm sure that's not so. Nobody who reads threads in the Corner Pub could fail to see that in CMG, rwetmore is a lone conservative voice crying in the wilderness, surrounded by liberals who constantly rebut him and sometimes insult him. If anything reflects badly on CMG, I'm afraid it's not...

If climate change brings the catastrophic effects that have been predicted - rising sea levels wiping out coastal cities and inhabited islands, rising temperatures causing droughts and famines, etc. etc., then indeed climate change is a greater threat to us all than every terrorist in the world.

Chalkperson

Randall, to suggest you are clutching at straws is an understatement.

I repeat my opinion that your non stop posting of dubious stories reflects badly on the board as a whole, you make us look like bunch of right wing nutcases, with Aunty Lynn gone you are the last man standing.

Chalkperson

why you think anyone here is interested in this is beyond me, you just look even more foolish than usual. IMHO of course

Chalkperson

BTW, after this latest thing with the media claiming he wanted to register all Muslims into a database, I'm now officially all in for Trump. I was pretty close already, but this sealed the deal and tells me all I need to know. He never said or implied anything of the sort...it was completely made u...

Should I change the title again to read "One of the PARIS TERRORISTS was a Syrian Migrant"? Would it be possible to just call it.

Unmasking members and posting personal information and photographs is treading the thin line that separates talking from stalking her, Lenny.

Irrespective of the conversations between the pair of you there is no justification for doing this.

At least in my opinion there isn't.

Mind you, I think the overwhelming majority, i.e. like 99% or more, are not ISIS.

"PARIS TERRORISTS were Syrian Migrants..." Never let facts get in the way when the you have an axe to grind, eh?

Chalkperson

What specifically is he doing to fight this enemy? I'm not saying I have all the answers, but Obama doesn't seem to be doing much. He seems more concerned about global warming and establishing his legacy, and this is just a big annoyance getting in the way of those things. OK Randall, instead of po...

It appears that none of the Terrorists were actually from Syria, they were all European Nationals. This seems to be the main Thread on the horrors of last Friday.

Steve Jobs biological father was a Syrian immigrant..

Shove that in your Repblican pipe and smoke it Randall.

Your mob sicken me to my stomach.

Chalkperson

The bottom line though is Obama is in way over his head and doesn't know what he's doing. This is a very, very, VERY precarious situation. I can tell you right now that if there are attacks in this country from just one ISIS member who is found to have come here as a Syrian migrant, all hell will b...

Chalkperson

we have ISIS telling us that they are in the process of using the migration as means to infiltrate the West with their members Can you give a source for that? I haven't read it myself, and it seems odd that they would give away such a strategy since terrorism to succeed depends on catching the vict...

didn't they build some magic podium to accommodate his wheelchair, with two assistants at his side? A kind of elevator to bring his wheelchair up to podium height.
