Props to Ali. He opposed the Vietnam war. Instead of running away, he stood up and went to jail for his beliefs. I disagree with his position, but respect him for being a "stand up" guy...unlike the other people who ran away from the results of their actions.

Wrong! It's been proved to everyone but Fox News that Saddam was not about to create WMDs. If it was a good thing, it was because Hussein was a tyrant, and removing him has brought peace and stability to the people of Iraq. Oh. Wait a second. Wrong!

Truly, they will be voted out of office.

And that is why I have difficulties giving Bush supporters any credit at all.

i think one quality that whomever the greatest american is should have is the ability to get non-subtle sarcasm.

/not sure if i'm being sarcastic...

What's your source for this little tidbit? The CIA WMD report said differently. In fact, it went as far as to say that they found 53 WMDs, and at least one bunker FILLED with chemical weapons that they haven't opened yet. How do they know it's filled with chemical weapons? Because they are weapons reported by Saddam to the UN, the UN inspected them and then sealed them in the bunker with a wire twist-tie, and they haven't broken the twist-tie yet.

ROFL

That's rich.

As opposed to people who ran away entirely, and hid in the National Guard rather than fight bravely for their country.

How do you hide in the national guard? Even Kerry has said Bush's service in the National Guard was real service, hasn't he?

Not particularly, no. He sounds like a pessimist more than anything. I didn't say anything in his speeches that said "whites are better than blacks", which would have been perfectly acceptable, even welcomed, in that time. I saw "society will not allow it" (and society did not), and "it is not realistically feasible" (which it was not), and finally, "if one of our races is to have power, I prefer that it be mine". I don't think there is a single person on the planet who can hoenstly say that, given the choice of one or the other, they would not rather have their race in power rather than another.

It looks to me like you're on a mission to stir shit up. :)

eli whitney

the man who both, more or less caused the slavery issue in the civil war and (arguably) won it for the north. this is a real american genious because of the idea of the interchangable part. without that ford could never have built his factories and our industrial giant of a system would not have existed making us a wash. this man basiclly is responsable in many ways for modern society. his inventions make him the best american ever.
