So what do the very small majority suggest we do? Hold a meeting and
scold them? Bad little terrorists - Go to your room! That'll teach 'em!
Give me a break. If the terrorist have complaints, then they should
speak their point through political means. Not by flying planes into
buildings. Our government has done nothing to harm them, yet. This
attack on OUR soil was unwarented and those type of attacks deserve, no,
demand retaliation. I've heard a lot of complaints about a blind
retaliation, but I've heard no one in our government suggesting we do
that. In fact, they've been doing exactly the opposite. So, if a quick
vengeful retalliation is not even being suggested by our governement,
there's nothing to complain about and I don't see why people are even
wasting their time crying about it. Instead, let's focus on what IS
happening. Our government is carefully planning and gaining intel and
making their case. Our retalliation is 100% warrented and is going to
happen whether we like it or not. And I have the utmost confidence in
our leaders that they'll do the right thing.
Bill Maher? I won't even waste my breath on the dick head.

Subject: RE: Bill Maher calls U.S. cowardly
I watched Bill for the first time in a long time last night.
Very different show. It started out much more somberly.
He had a conservative radio host on -- who's name I now forget -- and
this
guy really stood up for Bill Maher. He pointed out, and agreed with
Bill,
that nobody has been more pro military than Bill Maher. He point out
that
one time when he was on PI, Maher, went on and on about how great
Reagan's
anti-communism policies where, how Reagan won the Cold War, but that the
beginning of the end for communism was U.S. involvement in Vietnam.
Those are not the statements of a liberal.
Maher said he was trying to make the point that the U.S. should not
blindly
go into some retalitory action. That the terrorists have complaints that
maybe we should listen to. If we do not learn from our past, we are
doomed
to repeat our mistakes. He thought he was being very patriotic.
I think many people here have made the same points.
BTW: He never said he was quoted out of context or tried to back down
from
his main point. Agree or disagree, I admire a guy who stands up and
says,
this is what I said instead of blaming somebody else. I hate the "I was
quoted out of context" bull shit.

That figures. Wrong again. The timing and context of Maher's statements
make him a total ass. He also allowed his guest to describe the
terrorists
as "warriors". His show is anything but "Politically Incorrect". It's
Hollywood left wing back slapping at it's worst. It's time for him to
move
on.
