It's good when we do it, too.
Sad to see that sentiment here. 
You seem to be upset at the wrong people, here.
The folks who got elected as delegates to the Democratic convention are not the same folks who got elected as delegates to the GOP convention.
Which GOP candidate had antiwar delegates? I missed the convention. I was out of the country for the past month, and just got back yesterday. I missed it, so I'm not sure which GOP candidate's delegates you are referring to here.
A lot has happened since I left the country in late June, and I'm afraid that I missed it all.
Are you telling me that GOP delegates are not as anti-war as Democratic delegates?
And that this proves the superiority of GOP delegates over those moronic anti-war Democratic delegates?
Sorry, but it is. There's no other way to put it. There's no fucking magic spooky illuminati mojo around the words "new world order". It's not like saying Voldemort.
Rather, it's been a logical term to use in conversations about geopolitics, particularly in the window of time when the cold war was ending and the old "world order" which had held tenuously stable through the dangerous threat of mutual assured destruction since the end of WWII, was ending due to the fall of communism.
OH MY GOD! THEY SAID NEW WORLD ORDER! BOHEMIAN GROVE BABY-EATING ILLUMINATI CONFIRMED!
Derp.
Don't you think that if they REALLY were really all in on a "New World Order" plan that was some spooky conspiracy, they wouldn't keep calling it that? Don't you think they would come up with a more creative name, at least? Something not so damn obvious or easy to put in a sentence by accident by someone not "in the know"?
Like I said. Inane. It's as if someone decided "my fellow Americans" was some code by the international Nickelback conspiracy to make everyone listen to Nickelback.
YOU LAUGH, BUT EVERY TIME A POLITICIAN OPENS THEIR MOUTH THEY SAY "MY FELLOW AMERICANS!"
RUN FOR THE HILLS!
Not trying to put that one on you, personally.
would be so bad, and so cold to vets' mental health needs.
Good for you pinboy. Good buddies will always have your back.
Nice talking with you.
Good night.
It was so bad that I avoided going out.
A friend drove her horse trailer out to rescue some of the horses there. She normally does mustang rescue, but when this started she rushed out to help the Sand Fire evacuees and and guest-board their horses. No charge. And that's how she referred to the horses--as her guests.
It may be a red area of California, but as you know we have a lot of good people here.
The high desert would not have been my choice of a place to go. I prefer green, and trees, even the jungle from my war. But I have a brother here, so...here I am. And now my brother and I are the last of our family.
I've made a lot of friends here--Democrats and Republicans, Liberals and conservatives. We work together on veteran and community projects and politics rarely comes up (though some consider me their 'token Liberal', lol).
My conservative friends know I've gone down to L.A. for Occupy actions and other progressive protests. No problem besides a little good-natured ribbing both ways. 
In the real world, I'm more used to simply being arrested for expressing my anti-war views without all the vitriol that one encounters online.
Focusing on protests only detracts from what is a GREAT convention, and especilally a great night tonight. The speeches were fantastic, capped by a briliant speech by President Obama.
What do you think this accomplished?
Pentagon: Investigation into Syria airstrike that killed civilians ongoing
WASHINGTON — U.S. Central Command is proceeding with a formal investigation into an airstrike in Syria last week that reportedly killed scores of civilians, a U.S. official based in Baghdad said Wednesday.
Following an initial assessment by the military of the airstrike, which took place July 19 near the city of Manbij, a more extensive investigation has begun, said Col. Chris Garver, the spokesman for Operation Inherent Resolve.
“Based on internal and external information that we have – things that we saw during the fight and things we saw in social media,” Central Command determined “the information was credible enough to warrant a formal investigation,” Garver told reporters at the Pentagon...

If you saw your parents literally blown apart in front of you by a drone bomb, how do you think you'd feel, and what do you think you would do?
