I would prefer a messiah that had a better taste in cars. I mean I would at least want my Messiah to have a taste for BMW's and Mercede's, not 70's muscle cars.

So just tell me how would you have handled the Branch Davidians? Would you just let them kill your friends and then say oh we forgive you go about your way of following your fake Jesus?

Who did the Branch Davidians ever kill? They were a weird perverted cult, yes. Stockpiling guns, probably legally, yes. The FBI fired the first shot, and tossed in indcediary devices. I would have played obnoxious music from giant speakers, then flooded the joint with tear gas if all else failed. But burn the bugger down? The FBI has its function and I am sure that they have solved a great many crimes. But they have overstepped their bounds far too often and have murdered innocent civilians on American soil with no accountability or oversight.

Who did the Branch Davidians ever kill? Did you miss the begining where they killed a few FBI agents. For having those guns in storage they sure did pull them out fast when the gunfire broke out. If they would have just followed the law in the first place and submitted to the search warrant no one would have died. You dont gun people down over a search warrant unless you have something to hide.
The FBI tossed in tear gas. The Branch Davidians torches their own fuel supplies, not unlike Jim Jones fed a bumch of people poison Kool-Aid. The FBI spent a ton of money blasting music at them, negotiating, etc. As a taxpayer, I thought that was kind of a waste. You either comply with the law or not. If you dont come out willingly, then you must be brought out by force. If you die resisting arrest, it is no ones fault but your own.
Except, how do you know that is how it happened? Oh yea, the ever faithful FBI told us so. But truthfully the whole Waco thing was dirty all over and there probably was no nice way to figure it all out peacefully. But this new terror plot has set-up written all over it.

You are totally right, except for two minor roadblocks to your philosophy.
1) Generally, the Constitution of the United States.
2) Specifically, the Second Amendment.

LOL, yeah the FBI got four of their people killed just so they could frame the Branch Davidians. So what you are saying is that there were a bunch of nut cases in a cult and they werent bothering anybody or breaking any laws, but somehow the FBI found out about them, decided to get a search warrant, just so they could go there, get some of their friends killed, just to kill an insane man and his insane followers who lived in a crazy house and were self contained and didnt need a keeper or cost the taxpayer money to house them in a looney bin? Right!
AND George Bush and Dick Cheney pulled off the greatest illusion ever, ever, ever.. to invade two countries, one of which only has Opium as anything we would want. So I guess he could blow up two building and kill thousands of people WITHOUT GETTING CAUGHT, just to have an excuse to get something he could have grown here. So he could pull of the greatest crime ever, but wasnt smart enough to think he could grow opium somewhere in the USA without getting caught.

Why cant you just congratulate the FBI for a job well done and for protecting you and your fellow citizens.

Goodnight all, it was fun arguing with you! Enjoy your Kool-Aid, but dont forget that the Kool-Aid charachter is a government mind control agent just dressed that way to distract you from the truth.

Media Responds to Surge's Success With Flood of Phony Stories
One of the many benefits of the success of the Surge in Iraq is that the lack of violence has given MSM propagandists an opportunity to polish their fiction-writing skills. Bogus atrocity reports have been coming out one after another. Via NewsBusters:
The news that six Sunnis were captured by Shiites, doused with kerosine and burned alive, was too sensational to not be picked up by the mainstream media. But it turns out that the event never happened. Furthermore, the Iraqi "spokesman" relied on to give all information regarding this event is as fictional as the story itself.
