Which parts of Europe? Or is Europe just one big solid block o'gay-dopesmoking-commie-enviro-hippy-swingers?

Just because we are willing to pay a little extra taxes to help our neighbours (and sometimes ourselves) does not make us communists

I thought those sorts of maneuvers weren't really possible without thrust vectoring, and I don't believe F-18's have thrust vectoring (though it may have been added in an update or later models). Anyways, it's kind of a good thing he ejected while facing away from where the giant fireball was going to be a couple seconds later.

edit:

In repsonse to Throbbin: See?! This is why we need thrust vectoring in our jet planes! It's godless commie terrorists like you who don't get a hardon watching hundred million dollar war machines at airshows as god intended, like real red-blooded [insert nationality] citizens, that are the reason we're in this predicament.

@MaxWilder (hmm, relation to gene?)

Habeas Corpus is getting a fair trial. These people were not getting that and instead judged before a proper trial. It does also touch on McCarthyism with the persecution for family relations, involvement with romulan commies and such sure, but I think it hits squarely on habeas corpus too. None-the-less it's a great episode. On par with the one where data has to prove he's a not a "tool" of starfleet, but a sentient being.

are you:

a) 65+ to remember the "good old days" of republicanism or
b) a history buff

funny but back then, republicans were a whole different party, they actually cared about the little guy, as opposed to being corporate lackeys

and democrats with their "lack" of conservatism were close to being commies... RED SCARE!!!

but good job going back 50+ years to find something to make fun of democrats
to make fun of republicans you only have to go back as far as last week

not that I'm a fan of either really
today both are corporate stooges and are selling your rights out from under you
not that any of you seem to care

How do her little-bitty fingers hit those strings that I can't even reach?

Commies. They'll stop at nothing.

The union makes a very good point that home video rarely tell the whole story. The police officer was in the wrong, but acting with understandable and excusable anger because he was provoked by the cyclist. What you all didn't see was 100 feet up, the cyclist clearly provoked the officer in typical protester, commie ways - he had the officer's wife bend over a parked cop car while yelling various insults about the officer's manhood. The officer maintained his post despite this obvious provocation, but unfortunately was unable to restrain himself as the cyclist rode closer to taunt the officer further. If the cyclist hadn't provoked and continue to provoke in order to get a response, this incident wouldn't have occurred.


They see me trollin...

It really is a numbers game.

"America is owned by China."

Those sneaky commies did it again!

commies are taking over our stone landscaping! better start stockpiling lego nukes!

Fear is a wonderful emotion. It will keep you alive. The left wants everyone to panic over water vapor and warm weather, so there's no monopoly on fear-mongering.

One of the State's legitimate functions is to defend its citizens from barbarians both inside and outside the gate.

The modern liberal doesn't have the will to lead. Whether deliberately practiced or not, s/he is incapable of taking a stand for anything and refuses to differentiate between not only good and evil, but what works (based on experience) and what doesn't (also based on experience).

The intellectual dishonesty of a zinn or chomsky helps no one.

QM, you seem interested in comparing modern European style socialism to a 20th century Soviet Military dictatorship. Do you understand the difference?
Do you understand that socialism, communism and capitalism are financial -rather than political- systems?
How many people has Swedish socialism killed?
What about American socialism gasp such as the highway system, schools and national parks?
Whether you know it or not, qm, we are both on the same side of the American class war - and we are both losing. I don't doubt the sincerity of your arguments, but I have to wonder if you feel you've been properly rewarded for your loyalty to powerful elites who run this country. My guess would be no.
Do you ever wonder why they fill your head with so many things to be afraid of? Commies, "Hemophiliacs", Terrorists, 'Islamofascists', Old Europe, France, Fags, Feminists, Liberals, Socialists, Illegal Aliens, Educated people, Poor people, etc............
Your entire being on this site is most accurately summed up in a single word: Afraid.
I'm sure you don't see yourself this way, but have you ever put your personal beliefs to the test? Have you ever broken down your belief system to see why you believe the things you believe?
As I have said before, your arguments seldom stray from the cliche-conservative-bumpersticker variety. Why not dig deeper? Why don't you think it through and give me your own unique opinion, rather than dittoing decades of partisan-politico programing?
As those who are winning the class war might say: Just do it!

He's a commie. Ask Sarah Palin.

until the very very end, I was wondering why the aggressor nation was stocked with American hardware and the 'Born Free' nation was red.

IT'S A DIRTY COMMIE TRICK!

@blankfist, shut up, commie.
