It wouldn't be for heavens sake, because it is a total contradiction of how the followers of the testaments are supposed to treat other human beings.

I think Nita's point was, it's silly to lay that charge at the feet of any one party.

However, to answer your question, it was the NATO aerial campaign against Yugoslavia (1995?).

I remember it felt really strange at the time, to be bombing a white Christian capital city

I don't think it's a matter of color, really.

It's a matter of who has what they want, how they can get their hands on it when they want it , and prevent other people from getting it.

Take the Saudi family, for example. We protect them, we pamper them and they sell their oil to our companies on "friendly" terms. Both parties have been kissing their behinds for decades, but the the most overt is the Bush family.

All this imbroglio with Iran reeks of Saudi elites obsessions with personal vendettas and whims.

Gingrich Promises To Help Overthrow Castro Government | Political Correction



What a joke this guy is, and people like him would make AmeriKa the laughing stock of the world, were we not so hated already.
That story is from Media Matters!! Give me a break. Soros funded and Hillary Clinton founded, Media Matters!!! No credibility whatsoever. What a laugh.

It isn't worth further comment.

a strong shot of Cuban Rum, and SHUT HIM UP

Here is the News max article ...

Newt Gingrich: I Will Overthrow Castro Regime

And here is another should the one above also not be acceptable for whatever reasons you may have.

The silly, the liars and the panderers - Fabiola Santiago - MiamiHerald.com (http://www.miamiherald.com/2012/01/23/2606111/the-silly-the-liars-and-the-panderers.html - broken link)


That last one talks smack about Ron Paul as well, so you should enjoy it at least in part ...

Gingrich's views have reflected statism and authoritarianism for a long time. Way back in 1996, he called for drug possession to be subject to the death penalty. It's interesting to see self-described "conservatives" embrace a man whose ideology is far closer to totalitarianism than traditional conservatism.

Man I'm disgusted with the current crop of Republicans, with the exception of Ron Paul.....

What would we possibly gain from such an action?

I wish we could just learn to mind our own business for once and not go picking a fight when we have no compelling reason to do so.

My wife and I were just discussing which Rep front runner we like less, Romney or Gingrich. While I don't care for either one of them, Gingrich just might be the bigger moron........

I don't know why people think they can attack the messenger (the news media presenting the information) when it contains actual quotations of the person in question that can be verified by checking a number of other sources, including video!
