Because I'm tired of my friends and relatives dying in an unjust war, waged because of a lie?

Also, because you're supposedly a college educated person, yet, you don't seem to see the big picture?

Also, I'm not really that far left. I'm socially moderate, and I'm very fiscally conservative, I just really do not see his power grab as legitimate and I do not see any worth in his life. He's an addict, he's a liar, and he's a murderer.

I don't see the big picture? You mean I don't see the big-socialist-we-should-let-other-countries-dictate-our-actions picture?

Also, the stupidity of the general populace cuts both way sport. Notice that about 60% of the country hates Bush? So they were stupid, but I guess they're over it now huh?

Do tell, how should we "play nicely" with other countries?

You can dislike a President and wish they were out of the office all you want. But your line of reasoning is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. Extremism has the potential to breed terrorism. Speaking of wishes, I wish the FBI and CIA could keep an eye on you in case your logic impaired brain leads you to turn into one of those American-born terrorist sympathizers who join the Taliban.

This is ironic. Seriously.

And I ALMOST wish, big difference.

There is nothing dangerous with thinking, and it isn't that extreme. However, I was heavily recruited by the FBI for a job before I decided to go to grad school. They obviously don't think that disagreeing with the current administration is that "dangerous."

Actually it is ironic that you are so wrapped up in yourself that you think that anyone who disagrees obviously sympathizes with the Taliban. Talk about logic impaired.

There's a big difference between disagreeing with the current administration, and "almost" wishing that someone would shoot the POTUS.

Not really because when you get beyond the extra words, the meaning is all the same.

But if you insist:

I ALMOST wish there was a delivery of brain cells where you reside.

You're the one logically impaired. Go tell the FBI about those comments and see if they still want to employ you? Or better yet the secret service. Your only reasoning for someone not to kill the President is because that would make him a martyr, if that aspect was taken away, then yes you are most certainly saying that you would want someone to kill the President. Your comments are not well thought out and are indeed radical.

But the world neighborhood doesn't want to play nice back. Should we just let everyone attack our country until there is nothing left. America has come out as the powerhouse, but those countries don't make us a laughing stock when we bail them out of whatever crap they go and get themselves.
