I don't think anyone should be sudjugated. At the same time, I don't think think anyone should have someone else's lifestyle, morals, or lack thereof shoved down their throats and be forced to accept it. I tend to look at people for who; not what they are.
If I have a job to be done, and the woman, gay dude, black transgender, etc. can perform that job better than anyone else, they get the job.

I would have agreed with you 100% had you capitalized Americans. ;)
The OP, I believe addressed the original statement towards the great silent majority of women (liberal) who are mute as rocks when muslim nastiness towards other women - say women in the ME, Africa, etc., (soon to be the USA) is highlighted in the press, pictured, and even video taped.
I would like to bend the OP's opening statement, though.. women in muslim countries with Sharia law are property, those men are their OWNERS.

Oh, and one more point.. I see mentioned in another post the tendency for American women to get all warmed-up over something they call "reproductive rights-- we all know what those babes are mad as hell about is legalized murder of the unborn as nobody in this country with the capacity to reproduce is being kept from doing so. Some who dwell upon that may find the last point 'unfortunate', perhaps.

One of the only decent comments on here. God Bless you,my prayers for you and your family. We must never forget this horrible day. 9-11. And why they picked it. Look at their religious text with these same numbers.
It explains all we need to know.

You are correct. However, the real reason that liberal women aren't outrages is because they know it will never happen here in the USA. I think people who rant and rave about how wonderful Islam and their laws are should have to go and spend at least three years living among these people (not Turkey bur the other Muslim Countries) and the Muslims who have migrated to the Great USA, if they don't like it should be returned to where the came from. Most men in the USA who are men that is love women and especially if they have had a good mother.

Hey, no worries, but thanks for the clarification and your kind words. Most times if someone is putting things in bold or all caps, it is just "assumed" that the poster is "really" trying to punch a point home. I am not new and I have "yet" to make color changes work, no matter how hard I try...A conservative? I am shocked!! I wouldn't have guessed. :roll: :lol: I'm not, and you must be equally shocked, but just so you know, I'm "ecumenical." ;). From one "generally happy person" to another, welcome!! I agree with you...VA is a beautiful place and indeed rich in history. I even have a confederate soldier, complete with a headstone buried out in one of my pastures, supposedly surrounded by slaves whose causes of death I have no idea. VA these days appears to have a dark side and I rather tread "carefully" A whisper in my ear about minding what I say because the KKK is alive and well, two of my neighbor's horses and her favorite dog shot. Her animals were shot because of something she said. One of mine, who survived a graze on her noggin, always too friendly, I surmise aggravated a trespassing hunter who was hunting out of season. She moped around for a few days, got a lot of TLC, and became her old self again. The part in her fur on her noggin took a while to heal over. Hopefully, one day, VA will again become the kinder, gentler place you remember.

I look forward to your posts. Safe journey.

warriorgal,
You have my sincerest sympathies over your loss on 9-11. Every one of those victims are heros. That you continue go there to honor them is most commendable. I have a 1st cousin who was in the 1st tower to be hit. By God's grace, she was able to get out, 30 minutes before the building collapsed. She's still with the same company, but has since relocated to another local.

I'll offer-up an alternate perspective about your interview. First, why would you allow yourself to be interviewed by a representitave of the "liberal media," if, as you say, it only helps to promote the "radical agenda?" Would you have said the same thing, had the newswoman been from Fox News?

I would think that, on the anniversary of 9-11, any news outlet there, was at Ground Zero to offer-up a reminder of those thousands of innocents who died at the hands of a bunch of radical Islamic jihadists. I don't think that the media or the designers of the memorial, were trying, at all, to diminish our memories of the horrors of 9-11. If that were the case, why would the press bother to be at Ground Zero at all? Why would we even have a memorial?

Are you saying that by the media being there, that the intent of the media is to diminish the signifigence of the attacks to the point of getting the public to forget about it? If so, why even bring it up by broadcasting a story about it and take the time to interview you? And, by the constant reminder, the media and the memorial is playing into the terrorist's plans?

The attack on Pearl Harbor occurred almost 73 years ago. Do you not see and/or hear a reference to it every December 7th.? How about D-Day? I see a plethora of media outlets putting out stories every June 6th. By those annual reminders, are we still assisting in Japan's efforts to gain dominance over the eastern Pacific Rim countries and Germany's attempt to dominate Europe?

I do believe that the goal of the Islamic extremists' is world domination under Shira law. What I don't believe is that it's going to happen, world-wide. You're not taking into account that by keeping the vast amount of the fighting in the Middle East, the chances are greatly diminished that there would be an invasion of the US by extremists. They, simply, don't have the capability to get a large army close to the US mainland without it being noticed by someone.

You seem to think that the Islamists WILL conquer the world. Do you really think that Russia would allow itself to be invaded and conquered by these extremists, mlitarily? Do you think that Europe would allow the same? Do you think that Canada, Mexico, and Central and South America, all, - except Canada -, highly Roman Catholic, would lose to the Islamists? Can you see China, Korea, Vietnam, New Zeland, or Australia being conquered by an ISIS-like army? I sure don't. I've said before, that ISIS/ISIL doesn't have the military capacity to attack America. The best they have would be to hit us with terrorist cell attacks.

You seem to forget that the bulk of the fighting is in Syria and Iraq. There are many other Muslim countries in the region that are not in the fight; but are letting the Islamists in Syria and Iraq fight it out between them. Should ISIS/ISIL decide to go after Saudia Arabia, that would be a fatal mistake on ISIS/ISIL's part. The same holds for them to attack Turkey & the UAE. The only reason we're even in Iraq is because Dubya wanted to go there, because Cheney had some oil interests he wanted protected; not so much to get bin Laden. Getting him would only be the cherry on the top.

I agree that there is a lot wrong in this country, but until we can put away our partisan politics, and work for the betterment of ALL Americans, of every creed, color, race, religion, or origin, nothing of any positive significance will occurr. Until we can stop looking at one another with fear and suspicion; until we can quit: thinking that ALL Americans must think, act and look alike, and until fear mongering, bearing false witness, and cheating, are stopped, there never will be a perfect, God-fearing America again.

But, on the flip-side, America never has been perfect. We've always had our internal issues and we've always bickered among ourselves. That's how we roll. But, when confronted by outside threats, we always come together and unite to confront the common foe.

I agree, too, that asking God for favor is the right thing to do. That our country was founded on Christian "principles" is undeniable. But, it's also provable that our Founding Fathers weren't ALL in agreement as to which Christian precepts could be universally applied to the citizenry. That's one of the reasons behind the colonies, themselves, being founded; because of religious intolerance in the "Mother Country." Yet, the intolerance managed to follow the colonists here. As an example, look-up why the colony of Rhode Island was founded. Until the mid 1800's, some states did have a state religion. But since then, none have. Can you imagine having to pay taxes to support a church you didn't attend or in whose tenets you didn't believe? {This argument could be applied to the transfer of government funds (taxes collected) to be sent to a private religious school, today.}

As we've grown, we've absorbed people from many parts of the world. They came here with their own cultures and religions. Eventually, our culture and theirs melded to make a slightly different one. Religion is usually the last vestage of the "Old Country" to change. In fact, in most cases, it never does. That's why we have so many different houses of worship in the US. Plus, our Constitution forbids the Federal government from establishing a state religion. Nor does the Constitution allow for the government to favor one religion over another. I shudder to think how we'd be if we did have a state religion. We'd be in a constant state of civil war, only based on religion. Does that sound like what we've been reading, seeing and hearing about occurring in the Middle East? When John Kennedy became President, there were many who opposed him because they just KNEW that he'd let the Pope dictate how to run the country. Unfortunately, there are very many on this site who use the same faulty logic about Obama by saying he's a Muslim. He is a Christian. His kids were baptized in a Christian church. He attends a Christian church. For a Muslim to do any of this would warrant his being condemned and killed. For the reich-wingers to continue to claim otherwise only shows their own ignorance.

A big part of our international problem is our belief that democracy is a form of government that everybody around the world WANTS. It's simply not true. There are many peoples that can't understand the democratic concepts of representative government, voting and equality for all. Culturally and/or religiously, they just can't see it and understand it. And for us to think that it's so, because it works for us and a few other nations, that the rest of the world truly desires it, is very egotistical and naive of us. It's this type of mentality on our part that has turned many other countries against us.
