Thanks FrankGol.

A perfect sample of the type of leftist contribution I described, containing no facts and no argued position.

Six paragraphs of incoherent denial and abuse.

I will keep it as a specimen.

Frank...I have to agree with Leo's assessment of your last post mate.
Self righteous babble if you ask me. I know you can do better.

Horus put us straight about Hicks, and from Hicks own mouth.
If anyone is in any doubt about what 'fighting in Chechnya' would involve they need only to visit some of the more sickening web sites for a visual awakening. Example. A Chechen leader with a long beard, selecting a young Russian Captive, dragging him off and then demonstrating step by step to his troops (of whom Hicks would be a part) how to decapitate your enemy. The hapless Russian tried to run after the first slice, was grabbed, bludgeoned into submission and he collapsed to his fate, and the Chechen brute continued his work.

So, David.. why was it again you want to goto Chechnya ?
"To fight, and stop the ATROCITIES there" but David.. which ones ?

Frank, he is condemned out of his own mouth, no trial needed, simply declare him guilty and either execute him or jail him for life.

Frank.. am still interested, are you a member of a political party ? If so, which ? I'm not a member of any.

With you and Leo's glowing assessment of my post mate I feel really pleased that people of such quality volunteer such insightful references on my work. Thanks.

You say David Hicks "is condemned out of his own mouth, no trial needed, simply declare him guilty and either execute him or jail him for life". Now, for which offence would you shoot him or gaol him for life without a trial? The one the Americans 'tried' him for? Some other that they didn't but should have? Some other offence you think he committed anyway (something you saw in the media perhaps)?

Who else should we shoot David? John Howard has committed some woeful offences against the Australian people, and the Iraqis. Let's string him up without trial - shooting's too quick for him, eh? Then there's my neighbours - you should have heard what they did last night. And the Greens - Bob Brown - I can't stand him. Off with his head! I've got a long list! Want to see it or shall I just execute 'em all forthwith? Save a lot of money, eh?

I like your style, David. None of this compassion stuff. That's only for leftie Christians. If they seem guilty to King David, that's enough for to shoot 'em or lock 'em up for life. Nice Christian sentiment at Easter, David. Shoot 'em without a trial? Lock 'em up for life, on King David's say-so? Man of action, I salute you (just in case I'm on your list.).

David, I recently answered your question on political party membership when my imagined membership was used by someone on OLO to explain (incorrectly) why I took a particular position. Sorry to undermine your thesis but I'm not a member of any party. But, what if I were? Would my ideas be any better or worse for being a party member? I know simple labels help simple people find simple answers to complex questions; but not this time. Anyway, I'm not going to admit it - you might have a plan to shoot all party members.

Your All! A discrace. And the think some of you call yourself Christians.
Dont ever preach to me about what the lord said again!
Going on like this especially on Easter Sunday when all we should be thinking about is our lord.
You bring much Shame to All Of us.
I did ask nicely but oh no you just had to ignore.
Especially one person I know is always preaching.

Easter Sunday
Shameful

Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

Happy Eostre. :)

I have no sympathy for Hicks. Apart from the crimes to which he has confessed, he abandoned his wife and children to fight and kill for .... well what exactly? A world wide Muslim Caliphate?

Unlike many posters I have no doubts about Hicks' guilt.

BUT, imprisoning someone for 5 years without trial does not constitute "due process." Nor does bringing them before some cockamie "military tribunal."

This is not about Hicks. It's about a "fair go." This was denied Hicks.

In a way Hicks lucked out. Had the US Government not messed up his case so much he might now be serving twenty years like the American, John Walker Lindh.
