Unlike our founding fathers, you must place an extremely high level of trust in our government and police forces. Ever hear of the civil rights demonstrations of the '60s?
That was FORTY YEARS ago.
Unlike most college campuses, the rest of the nation has moved on.
Why don't you join us here in the 21st Century, where the heaviest weapon used against violent protestors in the past five years has been pepper spray.
The claim that the Liberation of Iraq killed "100,000" Iraqis is another example of the Left exaggerating a single study for political purposes.
But since we're going to talk about dead Iraqis, let's talk about the 500,000 Iraqi children Clinton and Albright allegedly killed by enforcing U.N sanctions against Saddam's regime.
If we're going to believe the hyperbole and hysteria generated by the Left and parroted by the MSM as fact, then we have to acknowledge that Bush is about 400,000 Iraqi deaths behind Clinton.
It's called (or was called ca 1993 - 1997) a "P-card" (Prospect card)
A P-card is what that poor bastard uses when he calls you or your slacker kid every freakin' night of the week, trying to get the two "sits" (appointments) his staion commander told him he had to get before he could go home for the night.
P-card databases are built from a variety of automated and non-automated sources. The armed forces have bought mailing lists targeting the male 18-24 year group for years. Recruiters also use high school year books, phone books, mailing lists provided by schools, and the ASVAB test you took to get out of PE for the day, and other students to build their P-card database.
The Penatagon building another database is redundant as any recruiter will tell you. Most of the leads it will generate will likely be useless, but recuriters will be forced to refine them, adding more work to an already never-ending day on the bag.
I imagine many army recruiters are wishing they were in Iraq right now instead of cold-calling people with little to no interest in volunteering to serve in the military.
At least in Iraq they get to shoot back at the bastards.
Yet you never offer "another way" that achieves the desired result: the elimination of totalitarian regimes like Imperial Japan.
"Another way" seems to always mean appeasement of the very real evil that manifests itself in the form of brutal dictatorships that murder not only their neighbors but their own citizens, and if history has taught us one thing, appeasement never works.
In the context of the times, the use of atomic bombs against Imperial Japan was the correct decsion both militarily and politically.
Too bad for the residents of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, just as it was too bad for the millions of victims of Imperial Japans aggression.
Whether you call it socialist or populist or liberal, the perception most people have of "Progressives" is of tree-hugging, gun-grabbing, wealth-redistributing, terrorist-appeasing, vote-rigging, self-appointed know-it-alls who want to tell eveyone else how to live their lives.
I don't mean that as an insult. I mean that as that's how "Progressives" are perceived.

Many if not most envrionmentalists claim they are "Progressives."
And to the best of my knowledge, most "Progressives" (you being the exception) are happy to have them.
There may be some "Progressives" like yourself who embrace advances in technology, but the socialist bedrock of your "progressive" ideology has proven more harmful than any catastrophe capitalism or technology ever whipped up.

Hell, the best you've got is an unsubstantiated claim Bush killed 100,000 Iraqis.
And that's still 400,000 short of the 500,000 dead Iraqi children Clinton, Albright, and the UN were blamed for killing.
I'd say Bush has a long ways to go before he measures up to the level of evil you attribute to him.
