I believe the FBI thing. The FBI and CIA often approach people within extremist circles, trying to persuade them to provide information to the country.

Some days I find it pointless to debate some matters that I cannot change or if I wait long enough, (1-20-09) will change on its own....

I feel left out KStar hasn't tried to argue any of my posts.

Whatever, there is no accountability in that profession, so they can do whatever they want. Seriously, 14 day forecast? Why even bother, it's completely made up.

I want to know how she graduated with a major in philosophy, she doesn't argue logically and is getting ripped a new a-hole.

How sheltered you are, if you think I'm an extremist.

There are different types of extremism.
One form involves disconnects in logic that cause people to leap from one conclusion to another. That's what you did.
Your process as presented in this thread is as follows:
a. I disagree with this administration and hate the POTUS
b. I'm an American but he's not my POTUS
c. I almost wish someone would kill him
d. but wait...that would make him a martyr...argh...back to the drawing board

Well, I dunno, you compared Bush to dictators who slaughter thousands and "almost wish" someone would kill him.
On second thought, you're right, these are heartland, middle-America sentiments.

How many US soliders have died in an unjust war? How many Afghanis or Iraqis? Bush HAS slaughtered thousands.

A) It is your opinion that this is an unjust war.
B) With regard to Afghanistan, you think that is an unjust war as well? Do you not see any difference between brutally slaughtering your own people, and collateral damage in war?
People who are quick to point out America's faults almost never recognize the fact that the United States spends billions on limiting collateral damage, while our opponents HOPE for such loss of life.

A little over 4,000.
How many people died in 9/11? How many civilians had to die before you'd be content with going to war?

Almost 3,000 died because of the plane crashes. I wouldn't ever consent with going to war against a nation until that nation actually attacked the US. Neither Iraq or Afghanistan attacked the US.
And I've had you on ignore since you joined, that is why I haven't responded to anything but this.

So how do you expect the United States to fend off terrorist attacks if we don't engage anyone in battle?
And I have said some things that people disagree with but I didn't think I've said anything to warrant anyone ignoring me.
