America may have to make the ultimate sacrifice to save all Life
Edited on Wed May-04-05 01:24 PM by ck4829
"Denmark's naval fleet sinks itself to avoid a German takeover."

This country destroyed their navy, if they didn't do this noble act, then this would have made the Nazis all the more powerful.

Skip to Today: The 'christian' Right is slowly spreading it's malignant tendrils through all aspects of American life. If they actually become the Rulers of America, then they will have a chance for Global Domination.

To save the world, we must make sacrifices. Are we willing to take the one I am writing about (if you read between the lines)?

2. You want us to all go sink aircraft carriers?
I don't think that's going to work.

11. OK . . . You want us to . . . umm sacrifice . . . umm let's see . . .
Prevent the fundies from attaining world domination through sacrifice.

Well, all I can come up with is that you're proposing we kill 'em and eat 'em.

Sorry, while I'm not a vegan, I do draw the line at long pig. Not to mention the disease you get from eating brains, ya know the one that leads to total dementia, muteness, inability to move, ataxia, dysarthria, dysphagia, and death? Kuru, I think it's called.

4. I've been thinking the same for awhile.
Sometimes a person throwing themselves on a grenade saves the lives of many others.

I HAVE TO BECOME A FUNDIE? and cause insidious dissent from within?

6. Well, I think the US should be the first to get rid of our nukes.
If that's what you're talking about.

7. reading between the lines
makes my eyes all squinty and I get wrinkles.
But "sacrifice" makes me think of seeing Dolly Parton on TV a few months ago singing her new song with ad libbed lyrics added about how "America needs to sacrifice their sons to die for their country in Iraq, 'jes like God sacrificed his only son to die for us". No lie, she really sang this. :puke:

9. Perfectly willing, and YEARNING for the chance...
we should take a hint from Revolutionary France and employ the services of "that sharp female, newly-born, and called la guillotine."

"Tremblez, tyrans et vous perfides
L'opprobre de tous les partis
Tremblez! vos projets parricides
Vont enfin recevoir leurs prix!
Tout est soldat pour vous combattre
S'ils tombent, nos jeunes héros
La France en produit de nouveaux,
Contre vous tout prêts à se battre."

10. i agree with you
in and out side the 'lines'-

But i DO believe that there is a way to 'act' without killing-
That's so hard for some to grasp- A 'non-violent' revolution, is not sitting passivly by as the world destroys itself around you, it's being willing to put youself on the line and face the enemy with truth, and courage, and not with violence and hatred-

MLK and Gandhi changed the world in a very profound way- without ever 'killing' anyone-

i'm encouraged that the truth is coming out bit by tiny bit- Abu Garib and x-ray and the lie of saving Pvt. lynch doesn't 'feel' good- and folks want to believe 'we' are so far above that- but we are all 'evildoers' in our own way- especially if we sit passive as those represent "us" do and "order" and "demand" evil actions, in 'our' name- under our 'flag'-

Admiting truth, even when that makes us 'look' bad, is the greatest feeling of 'freedom' there is- (imho)

My states motto is "Live Free or Die"- sounds like something insurgents would say eh?

12. You're right, Bluerthanblue...
and my bark is much worse than my bite. Nonviolence, in the long run, is more successful than violence. On the other hand, Ho Chi Minh said that if India had been ruled by France instead of the British, Gandhi would have had a very short life expectancy.

13. They waited since 1934 to create this coup.
They will not simply walk away if a Democratic majority is elected. They have more members, more weapons, more media support, more power and more money than ever before.
