True, David, but if an issue is important enough to show the world you support it, it shouldn't be so easy to support a candidate who so readily discards it.
And there's nothing to prevent Patrick from SHOOTING a gun. But Kerry's voting history, if it became the majority trend, would make doing so illegal faster than he could reload. Just ask the Brits and the Aussies.
That was a low blow by the Speaker, who knows full well where Soros got his money, at least some of it.
[Soros amassed a fortune as one of the inventors of "hedge-funds" and as an international currency speculator. In 1992, Soros became known as the man who "broke the bank of England" when he wagered against the Pound Sterling and, in a single day, made himself a $1.1billion profit. As a result of his wrecking the British currency, the savings of countless British working people were devalued.]

I just can't figure out why Patrick would defend Soros and the Democratic party, but at the same time post a pic of himself shooting a pistol at the range.
Soro's "Open Society" requires disarming citizens, and John Kerry's senate voting record is 100% anti 2nd Ammendment.
Hmmm....
My step brother was a Marine in Gulf War I. His photo appeared on the March 5, 1991 cover of Time. He shot with his Nikon, never with his M-16. While he was stationed at an Iraq-Kuwait border checkpoint, a sedan approuched. The standing order at the time was - which had been announced to all coalition forces and Kuwaiti citizens - approach check points with your headlights on to indicate you were not hostile. This sedan did not have its headlights on. The gunner behind the .50 caliber opened fire. The young Kuwaiti couple in the vehicle was instantly killed.
When my step brother first told me this story, I remember asking who's "bright" idea was it to require lit head lamps to indicate your were a freindly. (When at every military base one is required to DIM their headlights at the gate, and when lightbulbs have a tendancy to blow out.)
I have a point, I think. Oh yeah. Whether or not our troops obey the check point procedures to the letter, it seems that the rules have been vastly improved for this Gulf War. That we are attempting to refine the rules of war is about the only positive thing that can be said. But it is positive, even if the entire situation and the individual catastrophies are horrible.
I may be a peanut, but I don't think there is an explanation for the statistics. By egging for some sort of justification, Patrick, I get the feeling that you think Yanks are targetting Brits for fun.
"He'd just gone out on a jolly." is how the article put it. Maybe.
I was so bored bored with the tabloid tone of the artilce, I almost missed the last sentence... "Another two British soldiers were killed when their Challenger 2 Main Battle tank was engaged by another British tank west of Basra."
The Brits don't even recognize their own tanks.
The spin in here makes me dizzy.
