I do not get that.

Joe – I don’t agree with a batch of your assertions about liberals being cowards. The things you say they won’t defend or go after? You don’t go on to show how conservatives handle the matters any better. Where’s that?

You are young and full of yourself. I hope that when you put a few more years of experience under your belt you’ll be able to mount a coherent, intellectual and empirical defense of your views rather than an incoherent rant.

By the way, I’m male and 45.

And it may drive you crazy, but I was once a Young Republican (Lake County) as well AND a GOP District Chair as late as 1995.

You CAN evolve!

I did comment on you mocking the death of our troops as a mere payoff to their families and called it- you spitting on their graves. As far as I know the majority of troops are not doing this for the money. There are plenty of easier and safer ways to make a buck. However comrade, you must see the world through the “capitalist is bad” lens.

I can trade articles all day with you showing that the surge is working and that a democratic foundation is being built. Liberals only want bad news. You have to root for a bad outcome in Iraq to defend your fools in Congress who voted for it and who are now opposed to it in order to assuage the Left Wing Radicals.

I can not have an opinion on the war unless I serve? That is an interesting interpretation of the freedom of speech that you actually fought for. Well I vote and take very seriously the selection of the Commander in Chief. Thanks for your service, but that does not make you the only person that can have an opinion/voice. *I blame George B I for this mess. We should have taken care of Saddam back then. -Would be interested to hear your thoughts on this.

Why didn’t Clinton kill Bin Laden the 100x he had the chance. Oh, yes, he cared more about world opinion (BJs) than defending American lives. Our military IS trying to find Bin Laden and kill him.

If I lived like a Palestinian I would fight the corrupt government that the West thrust upon me – formerly Arafat and now Hamas, ISRAEL IS NOT THE PROBLEM!!!!!! The Arab worlds uses Palestinians when it suits them to rail against the West. The Israelis let them vote, give them concessions and it is never enough. Mideast peace is a JOKE! The majority of the Arab world wants to destroy Israel, not have peace. America needs to stand by the one Democracy in the Middle East.

You have bitten of the apple of Western guilt. Name me an accomplishment of the hard core Mulsim-Arab world. Name me what they have done for peace, medicine humanity in the last few centuries. Muslim and non-Muslim Arabs in Western societies with freedom and liberty accomplish things. Not all cultures are equal. That is multicultural nonsense. You spit on America because it is hip and effete to. I don’t. Y
You flippantly call Bush a Hitler, while real butchering occurs around the world. Have we assisted some of these butchers at first (Saddam, Osama, Mugabe)? Yes. Has it always bit us in the ass? Yes. Do we stand up on the right side eventually? Yes.

Trust me friend it is conservatives who want us to maintain freedoms, not the liberals. Liberals sit silent while Muslim cultures throw homosexuals off buildings. Where are the GLBT “community” to protest that? If a gay person in this country is taunted a federal case is open. It is liberals who sit silent when the Chinese commit atrocities and murders, but raise holy hell when a pervert can’t get public funding for his/her art. Liberals are cowards and they target the easy target here. When is NOW planning a trip to the Mideast to picket the treatment of women??? When is Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson planning a trip to Du Bai to protest the treatment of Christians? When is PETA going to stand up to animal abuse in China? NEVER, all are cowards who want media attention here. They want to fight Col. Sanders not Chairman Mao.

Wake up.

First of all, learn how to spell. It lends credence to your arguments, such as they are. Or perhaps you were so angry in your reply that the spittle flying from your lips may have interfered with your fingers typing. In any case, start there.

I noticed you didn’t even comment on my comment – the fact that the US is responsible for a pile of corpses in Iraq and we assuage our guilt by cutting checks to the victims as if that’s enough for the grieving families we are bringing ‘democracy’ to.

Want to read a truthful article about the paradise we brought Iraq from a correspondent who grew up there?

But then again, you may not, since the truth hurts most conservatives, warmongers and closet racists.

And by the way, I wore the uniform during the first Gulf War – did you? Because I really don’t think you can comment unless you’ve seen the sausage made, as it were.

As for the Chinese, I can’t stand them. They aren’t true socialists but the worse kind of control freak capitalists and I wouldn’t be sending Olympic athletes to dignify their brutal and repressive regime. But thanks to American capitalists and their greed, China now has our economy in their grasp. Learn to worship your masters because they could pull the plug on us any time.

As for Osama bin Laden, are you actually sure he’s alive? And if so, why didn’t your fearless leader in the White House grab him when we had the chance early in this war? Is it, perhaps, because he’s more useful as a propaganda totem alive than dead?

And I don’t think I even commented on the Palestinians, but for the record, if you had to live like a citizen of the occupied territories for a week, you’re view might be altered a little bit.

But since you demonstrate no real working knowledge of history other than what was spoon fed you by ‘approved’ textbooks, I can’t expect you to understand how other people in other lands might view our benevolent and exceptional shining city on the hill. You are, in essence, a typical American – contented, dumb and arrogant with the blood of millions on your hands.

Just because I was born here I don’t believe I have any divine right to allow my government to rule the world for the sake of international banking or oil cartels. It might make you feel all warm and runny at night but the thought of what has been done in the name of the American people horrifies me and fills me with dread and disgust.

Wake up, the U.S. is not the bad guy. You have been brainwashed against the country that has given you everything. You are a spoiled brat.
