'American Sniper' Overview

The only way to completely avoid and prevent another terrorist attack on American soil is to finally take the gloves off and just openly act as the police state we already are--just more brazenly, overtly, and without any pretense of "democracy." Short of that, we're at risk.

And again, not the point I was trying to make. At all. Forget it.

why are you having so much trouble making your point?

The world being 'better' is an illusion. It puts up a nice, promising front. We enjoy technology, have a standard of education, and so forth.

This, unfortunately, has done nothing or is even relevant to the problems of the world which have been around since Cain and Abel.
Thus, it is an illusion.

Well...We appear to have plenty of sheep out and about who would cheer the idea. :plain:

Repeal The Bill Of Rights?

Liberal Americans have never actually experienced living in the kind of areas that Chris Kyle was deployed and don't take the time to really think it through. It is rediculous to make comments at all if you've not lived through what is going on overseas.
If you had random men, women and children bombing and aiming weapons at you, don't you think you would want some sort of sniper cover? Their job is to stop the bad guys and liberals want the bad guys to be just left alone to intimidate, harass and kill innocents.
Pay attention people, you don't have this right now in your neighborhood, but if you did, your opinion may change.

Apparently these people are not aware that:

1) The Bill of Rights are the first 10 amendments of the U.S. Constitution.

2) Only Congress can propose changes to the U.S. Constitution and the changes must be ratified by 3/4 of the State Legislatures.

3) Only once in American history has an Amendment been repealed.


I'm sure this guy got lots of folks that told him this but he simply edited them out.

What if someone started shooting at you after you invaded his home? That's basically what happened in Iraq.

isn't that a classic?
Sí.

do you know what it is about?
Sure. Everyone who reads it has an understanding of what it's about. And many of them are contradictory. That's part of the genius of Cervantes.

Did you know it begins with a purported translation which is actually a literary device? :) Some questions just never get old.

I would be interested in your understanding of it
No you aren't. You're mostly interested in insinuating I don't have one, which remains one of my favorite witch hunts of yours in not so recent memory, especially in light of your mistake at the time on the Archive that wasn't point.

But you should start a thread on the various literary examinations of the narrative. Tell everyone where you come down on the satire and why. If it's interesting enough it might provoke a book club.

You never know. :)
