Lastly, your argument makes not a lick of sense, once again. To paraphrase, you say “if I am concerned about Iraqi deaths…I must be concerned about deaths in America’s cities…so deaths in Detroit are a bigger deal.” Um - what on earth are you talking about? 40 murders per month in Detroit are a bigger deal than thousands of deaths per month in Bagdhad? Only if you are a racist or xenophobe and think Iraqis are “worth less” in God’s eyes. are you kidding me? what kind of argument is this??

And then, of course, you end with yet another non-sensical “Obama is a Marxist” rant. I’m afraid you don’t actually know what a Marxist is, ma’am, and then drop in the Hitler comment even though it has nothing to do with your argument.

Change. Hmm. Well - if you support Bush’s torture policies, why would you want change? If you support a $9 trillion dollar deficit, why would you want change? If you like that McCain has a ZERO rating by the League of Conservation Voters because he’s an environmental nightmare per his voting patterns, the why change? If you think we should deny poor children health care (and supported Bush’s veto of SCHIP,) then why change? If you like aggressive war that gets hundreds of thousands of civilians killed, why change? If you want to be spied upon and have your civil liberties infringed upon per Bush’s FISA laws, why change?

We change because we support something better, and so does Obama. These things you stand for with your vote are abominable, and those who support them should be ashamed.

If you want to compare civilians in Detroit to civilians in Baghdad, you must first compare the death rate in Baghdad under Saddam–you’re surely not suggesting that Baghdad was a safe peaceful city before the arrival of US troops.

Furthermore, the US troops are not responsible for the factional, sectarian fighting that accounts for Baghdad’s deaths.

But that is not the point–you attempt to drag a pink herring across the path of this exchange. THE point I’m making is that if your concern is the number of US deaths due to the war in Iraq, then you must by logical coherence be hysterical about the US deaths in Detroit, LA, Chicago. Thus, Detroit et all are more of a disaster than the war.

But the real matter at hand is Obama–the Marxist who woos your vote. The seduction begins by telling you haw dreadful things are NOW, but AFTER he is in office all will be Utopia. He paints a picture more glum that is true in order to frighten you into “change”—Hitler did the same. He promised the Germans “Change.” They got it, too.

You say “you are less safe as a civilian in Detroit, Chicago or Los Angeles than you are as a US soldier in Iraq.”

Unless your readers don’t have the capacity for critical thought, they’ll realize the mendacious absurdity of your comment, but it seems like all you’re giving me is flat-out lies, so I’m not surprised. But let’s pick this apart using Detroit as an example:

You’re comparing the deaths amongst a massive amount of CIVILIANS in Detroit to deaths amongst a vastly smaller amount of TROOPS in Iraq - the apt comparison is CIVILIANS in Detroit to CIVILIANS in an Iraqi city - say Baghdad. Our troops aren’t the only folks who live in Iraq, after all. But you didn’t make that argument, did you? Why not? I’ll tell you why - the 39 deaths per month that Detroit averages are nothing compared to the approximately 1,500 monthly deaths by bombing / execution / shooting that occur in Baghdad each month per IraqBodyCount.org - which inly lists confirmed deaths with names and dates. This makes Iraq look like the disaster it is and doesn’t support your totally nonsensical spiel, and you know it.

“you are less safe as a civilian in Detroit, Chicago or Los Angeles than you are as a US soldier in Iraq….”

A comment almost as dumb as all the rest of the pathetic arguments on this site. I try to save my debunking for argument that are more difficult, but every now and again, one wants an easy target…

no, Obama is not a Marxist because he studied and wrote about Saul Alinsky, the Marxist behind Neighborhood Organizing.

Obama is a Marxist because he applies Marxist philosophy to his political positions, praises and supports Marxist dictators and is anti-life to the point of infanticide.

Obama sees the world in the Marxist dialectic of class warfare, of the State as arbiter of freedom, and of confiscatory policies that enrich the state and punish productive citizens.

As for the Iraq body count–it is less than the murder body count for one year here at home. Do you understand what that means? That you are less safe as a civilian in Detroit, Chicago or Los Angeles than you are as a US soldier in Iraq.
