Larry Franklin’s October SurpriseJustin: First, you cannot use the words fundamentalists and evangelicals interchangeably; they are not. Evangelicals are spirit-filled Christians who know, because of their daily walk with God, that the most important thing in all history was Jesus’s death on Calvary. You have to keep that in mind when you are talking about … Continue reading “Backtalk, October 14, 2004”

Antiwar.com Bridging the Gap After going through this website, I noticed that I have perceived Americans in a false way. I have wronged Americans with my false perceptions. Now, I am an Egyptian youth who lives in Qatar, and what I hear in the news and see just makes me more frustrated, angry and start … Continue reading “Backtalk, October 7, 2004”

Whose Fault Is It?My name is Øyvind Munthe from Norway and I’d just like to thank you for what in my opinion is a very informative and more or less objective column about the Middle East conflict (the Israeli/ Palestinian conflict).

After the demands of work, family, friends, neighbors and the immediate … Continue reading “Backtalk, September 8, 2004”

Kerry: Unwavering Support of IsraelAs a wounded WWII U.S.M.C. combat machine gunner, 2 years in combat, 19 island landings, Okinawa the last, and a voting Democrat, I think Kerry is nuts with his support of Israel and their atrocities against the Palestinians.Kerry should be a Republican and run against that jerk Bush. I am going … Continue reading “Backtalk, September 2”

Against Bush, but Not for KerryI love this site. I visit it all the time. I agree with you in part on John Kerry. He doesn’t excite me. But Bush is terrifying. He exhibits all of the classic traits of a megalomaniac. He is inflexible, and demonstrates almost a sadism about life in general.He is … Continue reading “Backtalk, August 30, 2004”

How Do They Get Away With It?Yes, how in the world do they get away with it? Are we that ignorant and stupid in this country to want to reelect a president who has done nothing but make a complete mockery of the Constitution and the rule of law, caused close to 8,000 needless American … Continue reading “Backtalk, August 26, 2004”
