Be specific and prepare to defend your answer, or - more likely - simply just admit that Obama was talking out of his ass and very likely NEVER has watched a soldier re-enlist, let alone a soldier who has lost a limb. And let&#39;s not pretend that Obama isn&#39;t already prone to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.peoplepundit.com/2008/07/obama-skips-wounded-soldiers-visit.html&quot;&gt;turning his back on wounded soldiers&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Just say, &quot;Germany.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Don&#39;t pretend to stand on my side, Senator, when you wont even pretend to understand why we believe in our mission - that very same mission that you despise so much.&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://armandt.blogspot.com/feeds/7322155730109434068/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/8143513/7322155730109434068?isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8143513/posts/default/7322155730109434068'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8143513/posts/default/7322155730109434068'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://armandt.blogspot.com/2008/08/obamas-acceptance-speech.html' title='Obama&#39;s Acceptance Speech'/><author><name>Armand</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02528409989672756613</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBYiWIbNw2wP_u7IhVqXJhzJRSFsOEYeo6aaOuxqWichnrOFmhZy0pZyNwBXwAvzzoEiujy5eWd6YwIrJKj6Rpn6YiGWxb-_o1AKUyD3NklmS954JZylYC44ms_fLdH51OiYif/s72-c/obama_cringe.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8143513.post-7915805189808877930</id><published>2008-08-08T23:33:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-08-08T23:38:26.367-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="China"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Olympics"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Upside down flag"/><title type='text'>China&#39;s Olympic Upside-down Flag</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2Lg7YU4cgRyX5twofNWhRburR0P3_PEdkbJsgKNLBi37Rut6B_VrBR-mcNKoBakBsyixFE1SkNxfheXmPV9EtFJ82tzcKD-48ljdgy1B7tA7k0dkaUnfKeEEAuSM1aI9xRfbV/s1600-h/upside+down+flag.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5232402547625566482&quot;

He&#39;s a murderer and world-class tyrant whose execution was conducted with metric assloads more dignity than he offered his hundreds of thousands of victims.

Why the hell are these people crying for Saddam and not his victims?! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;Walter Veltroni, left-wing Mayor of Rome (that&#39;s in Italy, yo) has managed to go all &quot;UN&quot; on the world in a form of protest that, I guess, is supposed to shake the world to it&#39;s knees - or at least to Atlas&#39; shoulders. Veltroni has gone way out on a limb and - you may want to sit down for this - he lit up the Colosseum. That&#39;s right... it&#39;s probably Armageddon if they don&#39;t shut the lights out on the Colosseum in the next few minutes. Say your prayers, cleanse your pores, or do whatever it is you need to do before the Coroner finds you in your dirty skivvies... this is it! Veltroni&#39;s point? He wants to lead a world-wide protest against Capital Punishment. He&#39;s one of those who are more worked-up over Saddam&#39;s execution than over the execution of hundreds of thousands of Saddam&#39;s victims. (Want to make a wager on whether or not Veltroni was in line for Oil-for-&lt;del&gt;Food&lt;/del&gt;-Kickbacks that he&#39;s no longer going to receive because Uncle Saddam hadn&#39;t paid-up yet?)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;Italy reportedly has drawn-up plans to nuke Iran.

Outta Town.&quot;  Some opponents resorted to extreme hyperbole (thus diminishing their position) and carried signs reading &quot;USA Not Nazi Germany.&quot;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;color:#cc0000;&quot;&gt;It&#39;s good to see that when the Federal Government chooses to not adequately address the problem of illegal immigrants, that cities like Escondido will not sit idly by watching as the parade of illegal immigrants continues into their city.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;Story completely snagged... er - &quot;re-written&quot; - from a piece appearing on &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.10news.com/news/10007237/detail.html&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;10news.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://armandt.blogspot.com/feeds/116006599583806367/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/8143513/116006599583806367?isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8143513/posts/default/116006599583806367'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8143513/posts/default/116006599583806367'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://armandt.blogspot.com/2006/10/escondido-red-white-black-brown-youre.html' title='Escondido: &quot;Red, White, Black, Brown, You&#39;re Illegal, Outta Town&quot;'/><author><name>Armand</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02528409989672756613</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
