non-flame questions to liberal americans, page 5

1.) Give me ample examples of which rights of yours have been stripped by bush since 9/11

Illegal wiretapping.
Unwarranted acess to medical records, tax records, what books you check out in the library, the power to break into your home and conduct secret searches without telling you for weeks, months, or indefinitely.
The power to arrest without a warrant and be held indefinitely with no acess to a lawyer or a trial, without ever being told the charges against you.

2.) How is Iran's president ahmenijad (sp?) not practicing hate speech when he's talking about jews

True, it's hate speech. But it's also freedom of speech. Plus, what about our allies who say hateful things about other countries? How come that's okay and Iran is the only one under the spotlight?

3.) Except for ending Slavery, Nazism, Facism, and Communism.....
WAR HASNT SOLVED ANYTHING <--- can you disprove this statement

Most of those were just wars.
There is nothing to disprove. You're lumping all liberals into one pile if you think we're against any war at all.
Our beef is with unjust wars with fabricated evidence.

4.) The CIA issued intelligence reports, along with Great Britain and the united nations, that Sadaam Hussein had WMD's before the Iraq war began. CIA being the head of this. Now the CIA says there is not threat from Iran. Why do liberals ridicule the same CIA for being wrong about iraq, and being right about iran, becuase, to me, it seems as though all you're doing is going against anything a conservative has to say.

Those 'reports' were knowingly based on false or fabricated evidence.
People have come out and admitted that several times in the past few years. See PBS's Frontline documentary 'Bush's War' and you'll see what I mean.
Like this gem from it:

Powell says that on 9/11, "I suggested to the president and my other colleagues that this was an opportunity to begin pulling together a worldwide coalition." According to journalist Bob Woodward, that same night Rumsfeld said, "Part of our response maybe should be attacking Iraq. It’s an opportunity."

From Iraq War Alleged Weapons Of Mass Destruction

In late February 2002, the CIA sent former Ambassador Joseph Wilson to investigate dubious claims about Iraq's attempted purchase of yellowcake uranium from Niger. Wilson returned and informed the CIA that reports of yellowcake sales to Iraq were "unequivocally wrong." The Bush administration, however, continued to allege Iraq's attempts to obtain yellowcake were a justification for military action - most prominently in the January, 2003 State of the Union address when President Bush said that Iraq had sought uranium, citing British intelligence sources.[67] In response, Wilson wrote a critical New York Times op-ed piece in June 2003 stating that he had personally investigated claims of yellowcake purchases and believed them to be fraudulent.

Other than saying reprehensible things, Iran hasn't posed much of a threat so far, I'm not saying it's always going to be that way, but so far there really hasn't been anything worse that the stuff Pakistan, Saudi Arabia & Israel seem to get away with.

5.) If Sadaam didtn have WMDs, then give me a good reason why you think Sadaam delayed for weeks, and never let in the United Nations weapon inspectors.

It's not really 'If he didn't have WMD's', he didn't and that's been proven a million times over. Bush himself joked about it during one the press dinners. Because it's such a laughing matter. And he DID let in the UN inspectors.
