Northwest Indiana Discussion

Making more FALSE arguements I see.. But according to you DISSENT is somehow paramount to betrayal of country?? I guess you would have backed the British during our Revolutionary beginnings and claimed Washington, Jefferson and Hale all to be traitor's!!!


False arguments are for you liberals to make. We conservatives are ground in truth. Your latest false argument is to try & frame my comments as saying that if you "dissent is somehow paramount to betrayal of country."

Where is it written that opposing your own nation at war by lying about it is NOT "dissent?" Indeed, it is TREASON in some cases, such as what many of the leftists in congress -- and other leftists in the private sector -- are doing.

For people to say that Bush is a "lying bastard," to make false claims that he knew about 9/11 in advance, to make claims that our military is "broken down" and has no chance to win -- are all lies which also give aid & comfort to our enemy.

This is not offering standard, acceptable dissent. It is very close to committing actual TREASON. Now, to make it clear, I do NOT refer to YOU in this statement because you are merely a badly informed liberal who trusts any lie or half-truth that your leftest masters feed to you. You do not know any better.

But what the truly knowledgable people in positions of influence and/or power are doing IS treason and they should be tried, convicted and lined up before a firing squad -- traitors such as John "Lurch" Kerry, Jack Murtha, Dick Durban, and other leading betrayers of our great nation.

As I said, however, you are harmless and I am not referring to you.

Poor little highlander, lost in his little neocons world what dissent is associated with giving aid and comfort to his invisible enemy.. Guess what highlander, people on both sides of the isle, democrat's and republcians, believe and know that terrorist's are not propelling the insurgency in Iraq!! In fact, a MAJORITY of American's believe and know that.. SO you basically stating that a MAJORITY of AMERICANS are giving aid and comfort to the enemy(whatever that's suppose to mean)..




REally?? You know my statement to be false yet you cannot debunk it and prove I'm wrong.. Give it your best shot please..







What false arguements are being presented here other than by you??



What WAR?? WHO declared this WAR?? When was it DECLARED??




Bush is LYING BASTARD and should be sent to the Hague to stand trial for war crimes.. He should be room with Bubba and see if he takes it like a man or the sissy boy he really is..



If I am so harmless as you claim, why are you lying about the reality of the situation in Iraq?? And who should be lined up and shot?? I see you're a real sicko.. A freeper no doubt.. Thanks for the laugh today!!

Poor little Dumocratic socialist, lost in his smoke & mirror world of liberalism, who cannot even take a microsecond on Thanksgiving day to give thanks to our troops and efforts to protect our nation.

Always devoting every single breath to the 2+2=3 logic of his little anti-American framework. Stay in your shadow, my friend, so that the sunlight of decency & reality do not chase your pretend world away.

After a pot of strong, black coffee, perhaps you will realize that a majority of Americans DO support our war on terror.

They are not satisfied with how the war is going at the moment and want whatever adjustments are needed to bring on our VICTORY as soon as possible. Victory to you, of course, is a simple pullout simply because of your inebriated hatred for George Bush.

Naturally, you will NOT engage in that black coffee because political sobriety is something you fear even more than listening to Rush Limbaugh.

But be assured, little socialist, that it is anti-Americans like yourself -- filled with an even higher degree of hatred for our nation than yours -- that seek to take away our freedoms and force us to live under their domain.

Thank goodness for our president, and our wonderful troops, whose efforts are helping to keep you safe from the terrorist comrades that you support with such vigor.

Perhaps you should be celebrating Thanksgiving in honor of your Fellow Traveler heros from the Middle East?

Hmmmmmm?

I give thanks to our service men and women daily.. But I see by the poor name-calling that you have no arguement here.. Just poor mislabeled rants about being anti-american(whatever that means)



Logic? Name calling is logical??



Too bad most American's realize that Iraq has nothing to do with your war on terror..



I guess you didn't read what Henry Kissenger had to say this week.. Are you still living in your parents closet??



I listen to the lies of Rush every once in while, whenever I need a good laugh.. the sad thing is I know when he's lying, you don't!!



Patriot ACT!!



Too bad Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11..

Remembering that 9/11 was a MASSIVE REPUBLICAN SECURITY FAILURE!

Remembering too that Iraq posed no threat to the USA!!

Remembering that you failed to answer my question about who and when was a WAR DECLARED??? Cat got your tongue??



See above!!

This will probably be my last post in this idiotic board. I just spent 30 minutes giving detailed answers to all of your replies and the board ate it up after I thought I had posted it.

Down below I will give you a capsule summary of a few of my replies, but I have neither the time or trust in this temporary board to waste any more effort until The Times board is back in service.

*****Too bad Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11.. *****

What significance does that bear? It is STILL a major part of the war on terror. Remember that Germany had "nothing to do" with Pearl Harbor also -- but it was still a rather "significant" part of WWII.

*****Remembering that 9/11 was a MASSIVE REPUBLICAN SECURITY FAILURE! *****

Nope, Bush's admin was barely on the ground when 9/11 hit. To place the blame in its proper place, you must cast your eyes on the 8-year presidency PRIOR to 9/11 -- you know, that 2-legged cathouse whos primary concern was staying "ahead" of a pair of handcuffs and also getting "ahead" from a young girl named Monica.

Yeah, that's the guy. Your hero is the one responsible for 9/11.

*****Remembering too that Iraq posed no threat to the USA!! *****

Indeed it DID pose a threat to the USA. An inability to see this is a primary qualification to being a member of the liberal left. You, my friend, are a member in very good standing.

*****Remembering that you failed to answer my question about who and when was a WAR DECLARED??? Cat got your tongue?? *****

The war was declared on Sept. 11, 2001, when terrorist agents attacked our nation on our own soil & murdered over 3,000 of our own citizens.

Clinton got YOUR tongue??
Mmmmmmm?

ROTFLMAO

How do you support the troops? by buying a $1.98 bumper sticker from Walgreens?

Why not actually send over packages with supplies that the troops need?

There are plenty of sites out there...there are probably local places also that assemble these packages.

Get off your b*tt and actually do something.

Where exactly did this person say that they weren't getting off their butt and doing something already? Or did you come to this conclusion yourself? Pretty harsh words and judgement you make from quoting a three sentence post.

What did they say they were doing?

I am forwarding this email that was sent to me by a Northwest Indiana Resident:

Please pray for our son Anthony Troy Calabro who was wounded Saturday in Iraq when an IED exploded near his convoy. He has shrapnel wounds to his right eye, face and right arm. He has already had one surgery and is to be flown out of Iraq back to the states soon, hopefully tomorrow. He's in a great deal of pain despite the medication.

We thank God that he's alive! Please pray with us that his eyesight will be restored and that he will completely recover from all his injuries. We still do not know the extent of his injuries or when we will be able to join him.

We got a phone call from Troy this afternoon as we were driving back from visiting family in NY for Thanksgiving. He called us right after the injury. He sounded so strong and calm that I had trouble comprehending that there was a problem. He said he wanted us to know that he was okay. He had suffered some injuries to his eye and arm from an IED but nobody else was badly injured and he was on his way to surgery. He called us after the surgery and sounded terrible and was in a lot of pain. We still don't know much. He might have a broken arm and it's too soon to tell if he will be able to see out of the injured eye.

Thank you very much,

UPDATE:

Things are looking good! Praise the Lord and thank you all for your prayers!

He has had several operations in Iraq. They removed 2 pieces of shrapnel from his eye. He can see out of it but it is blurry. The doctor says his vision may return to normal and said something about reconstructive surgery since the eyeball was punctured?? I still don't know for sure if his arm was broken by the blast but he had another operation and they relieved the pressure that was causing him so much pain in his arm. He said his teeth are still perfect. At first he thought his lower jaw had been blown off.

Most of this update came from his girlfriend, Stephanie, who spoke with him this morning. She said he was hungry (good sign) and excited that he gets to have Chicken Nuggets. He's in less pain since they operated on his arm. He was also tired, so after he eats, he's going to get some sleep. He should get to call us again later.

His friends are reporting that he was walking around joking with people after the explosion. Indeed, when he called us to inform us of the accident, he sounded perfectly fine. Troy said he was screaming in pain at first. Then he calmed himself down and applied pressure to his arm so he wouldn't bleed out. He was able to get out of the humvee on his own. We were driving through Ohio on our way back from NY when he called us. The first thing he said was, that he wanted us to know he's okay and that no one else was badly injured. He ran down a list of people who were okay and then said he had taken some shrapnel to the eye and arm but he was on his way to surgery.

Thank you so much for your prayers! Things are looking better. We don't know yet when he will fly to Germany and then back to the states. We're doing laundry now so we'll be ready to go to whatever stateside hospital he goes to. He was already scheduled for a 2 week leave beginning December 8.

UPDATE:

Troy was safely medevac'd from Iraq to Germany. They took another piece of shrapnel out of his eye there. They told him there's a cataract on his eye now but it is correctible with surgery. They are leaving his arm open until he gets to Walter Reed. He says it's open from the wrist to the elbow and he can see bone in one opening and muscle and tendon in the other. He must be on some heavy drugs if he can look at it and talk about it so calmly! He says he can move his arm and can squeeze his hand and all. I guess it was swelling up pretty bad and was very painful and there was a concern that he might lose it. He tells me he's flying out of Germany tomorrow afternoon, arriving at Walter Reed tomorrow night, so we'll be leaving for Walter Reed tomorrow as well. His girlfriend will go with us. I asked Troy if we could hug him but he said we can only touch his left hand right now.

We are ecstatic that they are shipping his personal belongings back to the USA from Iraq. This means he won't have to go back to that hell hole in the near future. His one-year tour of duty was expected to end in June. He really wants to talk to his buddies back in Iraq. They are like family to him after what they've been through together. Things are terrible over there in Sadr City right now so please pray for the safety of his fellow soldiers, too.

Everything is in a state of flux. I don't know how long we'll be gone...a week or a month. I don't know how long he'll be in Walter Reed or where he might go next. Thanks to everyone who is helping and who has offered to help. Thank you most of all for your prayers. We are so thankful Troy is alive! Thankful that he's out of Iraq! Thankful that he will be able to recover from his injuries! Thankful that we can see him and touch him soon!

Thank you for your kind emails and words of encouragement. I won't be able to respond to all of them. I know many of you have your own health concerns and/or have loved ones who are ill and need your help. God is good! May all your prayers for Troy be multiplied and return to bless you and yours many times over! I don't know how soon I'll have access to a computer again to update you. Please just keep praying and trust that we are in good hands.

So because someone who started a thread over a year ago doesn't state to your satisfaction what he/she is/isn't doing, and you rush to judgement? Must be nice to live in your little world.

I'll support the troops WHEN they COME home, and not till then!

Expresso, thats seems kind of lame seeing how you are claiming to being a Vietnam Vet. Our soldiers are just doing their jobs, God bless them all. They didn't start this war, the prez did.

Correction: "They didn't start this Police Action, the prez did."

Since when was it an official "war"? This is as much a war as the war on drugs, and the war on fighting breat cancer is!

Neo call it what you want, it doesn't matter to those who are fighting it. I fought in Vietnam, and was told by non vets that it wasn't a war it was just a conflict. In my opinion it was a war, there were people over there trying to kill me.
