I believe that was said by Winston Churchill.

Okay, I declare an end to the grammatical hijack.

Kudos to you Spider for knowing the original author of that grammatical monstrosity! My guess is he wrote after a few glasses of sherry. Whataya think?

One of the few grammar rules I do remember. It's so much easier to remember when there's a good joke about it.

A freshman at Harvard stopped another student on the sidewalk and asked "Where's the library at?"

This student put his nose in the air and replied "Don't you know that you should never end a sentence with a preposition?"

The freshman thought a moment and replied, "OK. Where's the library at, a**hole?"

Nah, not in Chicago. That rule doesn't exist here, leading to the oft-used sentence: "Where you at?"

My point to the grammar lesson was that it is ludicrous for Chance et al. to try to scare people with the very vague "they," because it opens the door for non-specific hatred. "They are coming to bomb us!" They who? If you're talking about Al Qaeda, then let's do everything we can to stop them, because there is specific evidence saying that yes, THEY do want to hurt us. If you're not specific about who is going to bomb us, then it allows the US to not be specific in who the enemy is, and that is just a world of trouble.

Don't you far left wing nut jobs get it!! I guess we should just let them bomb America again. I guess that is what you would like to see.

Hey Chance.....

BOO!!

Okay I admit my grammer was not the best

I used the word "they" and then used the word terrorist later on. Sorry that you didn't understand what I was trying to say.

Has Lieberman e-mailed you back yet with the Iraq/911 connection? Let me know when you get it and at that time I'll shit my pants worried that the Iraqi's are going to come over here and bomb my ass.

In the meantime, I think you should go down to your nearest recruiting office and sign up. Protect us from those dangerous Iraqi's.

Yes he e-mailed me back with all the information that he had at that time he and almost EVERY OTHER congressmen voted to go to war. Who said Iraq was going to bomb us?

I tried to join up twice as a matter of fact. Once in 2000 and once in 2002, my knees and shoulders were too jacked up that even the airforce wouldn't take me.

So instead I support our troops and their mission.

Why don't you go put on your pink cloths and protest with "Code Pink" and you guys can discuss how we never should have went into Iraq to begin with. Which doesn't matter because we are there and can't change the fact that we went there!!

When you are done with that you can discuss how we should let everyone go at Gitmo and how they are so misunderstood and how we torture them. Didn't we just find out that one of them who was released is behind bombings of innocent civilians and our troops in Irag. That is right.

Give me a break!!!
