    Someone keeps creating a fake name to taunt another member. When I can get that resolved, we will look at opening this again. Help me out if you want to speed up that process

    Here's the deal - reopening because there is indeed some shit going on and I understand people want to discuss it.

    However, if we have one more instance of someone creating a name just to taunt someone, it will be closed for good. Help me police that because I know many of you enjoy discussing politics and I'd like there to be a place here you can do that.

    I know we've made the rules much more loose here but please also try to restrain yourself from doing a post after post after post insultfest with someone. Have a great day and take that shit to PMs so everyone else can at least have a discussion.

    We thank you. How long this is opened is up to you.

    Does this mean I have to get rid of my ModdySux69 sock puppet?

    So it was YOU! I had to use ModdySux6969 because it said the handle I wanted was already taken!

    Hopefully, within 24 hours a drone will find its way up Alireza Forghani's ass....

    Seriously, threatening the rape of the POTUS' daughter? This is typical of the animals in Iraq. Disgusting.

    "Forghani warned, “We should remind Obama that if you are a bastard, there are other bastards all around the world who can assault Sasha.” The statement is written in both English and Farsi, but in the Farsi version, Forghani clearly stated that Sasha will be raped by someone who has been able to get close to the Obama family."

    Surprising since muslims have so much respect for women.

    I liked it a lot more when the world hated us rather than laughed at us.

    I very much appreciate you re-opening this.

    But I'd like to point out that you are giving an awful lot of power to someone who can't compete in the arena of ideas to allow them to get this shut down for good.

    So I guess Iran has drawn its own red line.

    WASHINGTON—The U.S. has intercepted an order from Iran to militants in Iraq to attack the U.S. Embassy and other American interests in Baghdad in the event of a strike on Syria, officials said, amid an expanding array of reprisal threats across the region.

    I have a feeling they will take their red line a little more seriously. Just a hunch. As much as I would love to see Tomahawk Missiles raining down on Syria and Iran, I just do not think we have the justification. I can't agree with fighting on the same side as the bastards that knocked down our buildings.

    This has not been John Kerrys finest hour, either. His circular logic on television this morning was perplexing...saying if we don't strike Syria the REBELS will be joined by more militant radicals who hate us. He said, on the Martin Bashir Show this morning, the following:

    "More extremists will be attracted to this because they will be funded as the only alternative group that will take on Assad."

    WTF is he talking about? On a day we see the guys who would be helped by strikes on Syria lining up Syrian soldiers and executing them, our Secretary of State is out there saying a lack of military intervention...on the same side of the guys pulling the triggers in the video...will somehow be harmful to our interests?!?!? Can someone please explain this?
