- Does catching them on the battlefield planting, building or setting off bombs and killing us and our allies make them perceived or not? Just curious as to how high that bar is. What about actively recruiting homicide bombers or slaughtering villagers who don't attack us on their behalf? What about raping and mutilating those who wish to remain neutral because they are not "real" Muslims. Would getting iris scans and GFR from them in repeated locations of attacks on our troops make them enemies?
Obviously, they are misunderstood and we are ruthless in our oppression. I get that. I'm just not sure that word perceived means what you think it means.

"I don't think that word means what you think it means."
You say "I get that" (of course you're trying to use it in a clever manner), but I don't think that phrase means what you think it means, because you don't get much of anything. You seem to think that imprisonment equates to guilt, that people in prison are only in prison because they belong in prison. What would you say to the countless individuals (mostly men of color) freed from unjust imprisonment in America either because of racism inherent in the system or due to faulty evidence or no evidence? Would you tell them to go back, arguing that they are in fact guilty because of the simple fact that they were IN prison?
No one here said that those in Guantanamo are misunderstood while we are ruthless in our oppression. Again, if you want to argue, look at what we actually say instead of spouting this divisive garbage that's only meant to accuse those on the political left of loving terrorists.

I'm just wondering why it upsets you that Iran says "boo" to Israel when I thought the objective was eliminate Government, everyone get their own gun and defend what's yours... And since we give Israel all their guns for free, shouldn't we just tell them to build a wall or something?
By the way, I find it funny we now want to build a wall after telling the Russians to tear theirs down...grover5 likes this.02-25-16 11:00 PMLike 1 - 02-25-16 11:02 PMLike 0

Their strategy, along with gerrymandering, is therefore to make voting as difficult as possible because voting is apparently a privilege, not a right.

Thanks for the laugh.
If there was a national holiday enabling everyone to vote without any worry of loss of pay, then both parties would need to reevaluate their political strategies. As would the big corporate machines that drive both the Republican and Democratic parties.ikalinin and Thud Hardsmack like this.02-26-16 09:52 AMLike 2 - I'm sorry, but give me a break! Compare this to black friday lines, iphone sale lines, rioting, etc... we're talking about an hour. Most places open early and close late. If people 'wanted to, they would. People like to complain and say nothing gets done, and at the same time, choose not to do anything about it during the one time that we can actually make a difference.. so it aggravates me that every four years, we get all these "politicians" on facebook and everything demanding change and telling us what they would do, or who they'd support and how this one sucks, and that one sucks etc.. yet, dont go out and vote..middbrew and misterabrasive like this.02-26-16 10:29 AMLike 2

- Your line is an hour long. Try voting in a mostly black neighborhood. Some stand in line for several hours up to all day. The more affluent areas have new machines and lots of them. The poor black areas have old equipment and many have been removed. You take away early voting, limit the number of machines and all of the sudden the poor black neighborhoods struggle to get the vote out in the swing states like Ohio. While your orchestrating this subversion of democracy you shout from the rooftops how much you love merica and freedom.02-26-16 11:03 AMLike 0
- You have to vote at your location. You can't just choose one. You missed the part where the early voting was eliminated or severely cut back in the same states due to "cost". I have to be honest, I'm pretty surprised to hear you suggest voting at a different location. Have you voted before?02-26-16 01:02 PMLike 0

The problem with early voting, according to a study by The Pew Research Center, is that it actually reduces voter turnout.02-26-16 01:11 PMLike 0 - I missed where early voting was being eliminated or severely cut as well. Last I heard Obama had backed the Presidential Commission on Election Administration's recommendation to expand early voting.

As in because many voted early they didn't on election day. That would make sense. I'm not sure how allowing voters to vote early would mean less voting overall. To be honest I don't know how you could even accurately measure that.02-26-16 01:51 PMLike 0
- By saying it might be unconstitutional I mean under Article Two of the United States Constitution: Clause 4, it states that
"The Congress may determine the Time of chusing the Electors, and the Day on which they shall give their Votes; which Day shall be the same throughout the United States."Congress has always set a national election day to be on the Tuesday following the first Monday in November, in the year before the President's term is to expire.
