New painted plane

The funny (sad funny) thing about it is that Obama is of mixed race....just like every one of us.

It's time for race to stop being an issue since people can't even define what they truly are.

Sorry to say that will never happen. I don't care if it does either because we will see a balanced budget, a woman president and donkeys fly first. It's a pipe dream. It's a part of who we are, people gravitate and or like their own comfort zone. My wish is people would stop acting like it doesn't exist or that it's taboo to admit it exists. It will play a HUGE role in this election and I think it will cost Barry the presidential race. JMO

Who acts like it doesn't exist? It's mentioned everywhere. I hope people do stop acting like it exists because I feel it doesn't exist anymore. Everyone is an individual and everyone is of mixed race. Those who think different are being naive.

Now Mark don't let your ignorance show and spread your hate on here. When are you going to come out of the dark ages and embrace the Muslims? After all they only want to be our friends, and they like us so much the least we can do is not stereotype them.

BTW, for the record 4 Iranians making those comments to me after 9/11 would've toted home more than just their checks when I fired them. You can call that hate if you want, I call it the truth. Maybe I'm part of what's wrong in this country, then again maybe those who would sit there and 'tolerate' that kind of thing are.

A lot of people feel race shouldn't be an issue, but you ever notice who keeps bringing it up? Jesse, Al and company make a living off it, and they are immune to any serious repercussions for their mistakes. Most any notable black person is, you criticize them and sooner or later you're labeled a racist. Happens every single time.

BO's campaign just played the race card about a political ad that had absolutely nothing racist in it. By the time November rolls around the subtle message his supporters want out there is if you don't vote for Obama you're a racist. Interesting his followers are so tolerant and want racism gone, while the BO campaign will play the race card many more times before he loses the election.

Another thing I've noticed, is anyone who stops walking on eggshells and tells it like it is, anyone who disagrees with the liberal crap dealt out in our schools and by the media immediately gets the ignorant tag hung on them.

You criticize Muslims, whose radical sects are comprised of people willing to die to destroy our country and you're spewing hate.

You're in line at the airport and watch an old lady get searched while 3 middle easterners pass right through. Can't let common sense override tolerance and stereotype anyone now can we? That would be hateful.

Newsflash Col, I'll spread my opinions anywhere I want anytime I want. You calling them absurd, ignorant, and hate does not negate them. Tolerance may in fact be a cornerstone of our democracy, but the willingness to stand up for our country and our beliefs are the reason we're here. You embrace the Muslims, I'll keep a wary eye on them. We'll let history decide which of us is absurd.

[psprowler]

Ever notice how those who preach "tolerance" never show any towards those that are "intolerant"?

[mhall]

Jim just to clarify the Iranian incident did not happen after 9/11 it was the first semi-botched attempt on the World Trade Centers during the Clinton Administration.

Gotcha. Sorry for the misinterpret, but the 4 of them laughing about any terrorist attack and saying we deserved it would elicit the same reaction far as I'm concerned. Hard to yuck it up with a boot lodged in the main vent.

I really am a peaceable and pretty good guy. I go out of my way not to hurt anyone, and try to treat others with tolerance and respect regardless of their skin color. But the line has to be drawn somewhere. Coddling and embracing a group of people sworn to our destruction, and who've been purposely slaughtering innocent people all over the globe for the last 35 years is well across it. Sorry, that's for kinder, gentler, less ignorant people than me.

[Grumpy]

Devils Horse, I understand (and agree with) what you are talking about when you say they have been slaughtering innocent people for the last 35 years, but I would like to point out that the slaughter of innocents has been going on for much longer than that. From what I have read in several difference sources, prior to his death in 632 A.D., Mohammed instructed his Muslem followers to convert everyone in the world to Islam. More specifically, he is purported to have said: 'Comvert them or kill them!"

The World is now actually seeing a very great resurgence of Islam and its attempt to convert everyone to its beliefs. That is hardly what I would call "a peaceful religion".

There is an extremely small percentage of muslims that are terroist. Several of your opinions that all muslims have the potential to do terroist acts is the definition of prejudice. Tim Mcvey drove a pick up truck, does that mean I should hate the bulk of you for driving those. It is silly to think that just because someone is a muslim, that they wish for america to fall. Granted there are some bad muslims, just as bad christians.

[Grumpy]

Col Forbin, that is what Chamberlain said about the Nazis--to paraphrase:: oh its just of few of the Germans that feel that way, most of the Germas are really peace loving people!! We'll just talk with them and this will soon be over.

Yeah, and we all know how that ended.

One thing to clear up for a previous post on this thread. After the Towers fell one plane was allowed to leave the US, it was a plane carrying Bin Ladens family, that was the only plane in the air that day. So who are the terroists,Bin Ladens family is Saudi and were allowed to leave, that was Pres Bush's call. Also I was on a plane the two days before 9/11 coming from Calgary to Chicigo, on that plane were 5 middle easteren men who were sitting as follows 2 in first class, one was in the first row the other in the last row between 1st and 2Nd class, I was in 1st class. the other 3 were as follows, one next to door in the asile seat right past the door between 1st and 2nd, one in the middle on an asile seat next to the escape door and the last in the very last asile seat in the rear. I did not relize what was going on but after they showed on the news how the ones who did the deed were set up it made me wonder, did I just miss being a victim or was this a test run. We landed and returned home 09/10/2001. Also they held up all flights out of Ohare and dead headed most out of the airport the night before we left. Did they know something then. Makes me wonder.

[Devils Horse]

That was a tough time for me Bobby. I swore to myself that if anything happened during the flight I'd be killed attacking rather than ride the plane down under their thumb. Sounds dramatic maybe, but if you were traveling back then it was something to think about. I still fly quite a bit, and still have that mindset to this day. I take note of every middle easterner I see on the plane.

Col, you insist on defending a culture who oppresses women cruelly as a matter of course, teaches hate and death from childhood on, believes that to kill others in the name of your god gets you a free ticket to heaven with 40 virgins waiting for you. (Now I'd settle for 20 experienced hookers, but that's just me)

What koolaid you been drinking brother? This is not isolated portions of the culture in the middle east, it's the majority. When some of our people get blown up, all those thousands of people I see on the news screen celebrating and burning US flags are just a few isolated Muslims? Countries supporting and producing animals who've been slaughtering innocent people since before you were born is just a few bad ones? For crying out loud, comparing Muslims to McVey is one of the silliest comments I've ever heard. And you had the nerve to call my comments absurd...good grief.

I don't want this country to become like Israel or Beirut where cars exploding outside cafes are commonplace. Who's doing the bombing? Why the few isolated small minority of your buddies, that's who. It danged sure ain't the Mcveys of the world.

Muslims (Only small isolated numbers of them of course) have terrorized the entire civilized world since I can remember, and you want to embrace them right into our country.

And people like you call people like me ignorant. Amazing...absolutely amazing.
