Yes we are fighting in Afghanistan, but thankfully we will soon be leaving that clusterfuck, I've seen enough flags at half mast in my hometown.

You put words in my mouth, you choke me with your own perceptions of who you think I am, you don't ask me, you put you own words here, and you don't respect my opinion as it is apparent by your repeated attempt now to label my view as a racist bigot by insisting I am talking about a specific location of people when I am NOT.

I don't see no land masses named here, do you? A nation of terrorist, yes an ideology of hate and kill, with a history of oppression and coercion and tyranny, yes jay, we declared war on that, where ever we may find it, where ever it resides.

That's a mature response, Well if you don't like it then go tell on me. I wasn't raised to be a tattle-tail, it was frowned upon by my republican family to call names, to be a tattle-tail and a finger pointer or place blame on others, it just wasn't something we were taught was appropriate or mature. I don't point at all, I indicate with two fingers where an issue may lie, and I was taught to accept responsibility for feelings I hurt in others and to try to live my life without intentionally degrading other individuals in the process, respect is a cornerstone for a good southern upbringing, (try not to read your own prejudices into this, I am not nor have I ever been a racist, I am a southerner, they are not the same thing regardless of what you've been told.)
