Then you have people coming in here telling us that the military are the only ones making sacrifices when they forget the families who stay quiet and should be the ones talking. Of course the military is the ones taking the most hurt when a comrade dies, but they aren't sent there just sit and wait to die, they are chosen to be sent there(Africa, Middle East, or anywhere) because out of all of us in the United States they have the most likely chance of getting the job done in the most efficient manner possible. For the most part that is proven to be true since most of the panicking about this war is happening in the homefront and not the warfront. These generals are for sure not in the warfront, because they are here at the homefront promoting their political agendas. While the men who are in the warfront are reenlisting in record numbers and are asking to go even if they don't go with the same unit. So those of you talking about how you aren't alone and that these generals are good company. Well guess what? Nobody is alone. The minority is still a group and is considerably powerful enough to determine the outcome of votes. Since there are 435 seats in the house and the Democrats only hold 233 of them, and that all votes don't just rely on the majority's opinion since they require a 2/3rds vote in favor of for any act or strategy of war, bill, or change to the constitution to be put into movement. So in fact you are in just as much opposition as you are in good company given that minority rights are as protected as majority rights, even though your idea of good company isn't always exactly good for a group of people who care about this country just as much as you do.

If you come in here and falsely identify youself as the grieving mother of a fallen soldier I can be as hypocritical as I want. When you and your cronies that were banned because of those attitudes and then proceed to bring our innocent family members into it elsewhere, I can do so as well. Gunther's whole purpose is to come here and incite. I'm just giving him what he wants. He'll go away faster that way. He and his friends will have a little more to talk about on their lowly website and when they're out of fodder, they'll come back as another name. How can I be hypocritical towards someone that doesn't exist? Now, you disagree with me but I'm not calling you a homosexual am I? No, because you tend to have a modicum of decency in your disagreement. Those are the rules. But, if you'd like to call a bunch of conservative Christians a bunch of hypocritical, homophobic zealots have at it. Just makes sure it's on topic or on your own site. I appreciate your point of view but if you don't like the fact that there is a small group of people I have prejudice towards, I'm not forcing you to be here. I'm not hypocritical or homophobic towards anyone else but them. Hawk, let me explain the rules.

If I wanted to call conservative Christians a bunch of hypocritical homophobic zealots who have totally missed the message in Christianity, that would be Ok, right?!!! Because, I am not isulting any one person, just an entire group. Just so I understand the rules here.

See how that works. If they want to use deception to get through, I can resort to irrelevancy. Unless you're a homosexual, I didn't resort to any "personal" attacks on anyone, except Gunther and his friends at OU. But I didn't think they considered it an "attack" to be called homosexual. Aren't they out of the closet already? Ah, but Hawk, it’s my site and I can make anything I want relevant. See how that works.

And we won't get an answer anymore anyway because I deleted his profile. He's the twice-banned (now thrice) Glenn from OU. The gay community over there is flourishing and they're intimidated by our heterosexuality.
