Talk about a story worth checking out! Which leads me to believe we have, and nada.
BTTT!
Besides, it's very simple to do and it sends a message to the leftists in charge.
I'll try to dig up in the morning the story where it is also reported that Saddam was the only world leader to predict 9/11 -- in some detail, including airplanes, big buildings, and New York all being mentioned.
This story undermines the claim by liberals that there was no connection between Saddam and Al Qaeda. Also, Ansar al Islam, Zarqawi's group, which is an Al Qaeda franchise, was founded and headquartered in Baghdad.
To me, this is reason enough to justify the attack on Iraq, WMDs or no WMDs (and I am still convinced that WMDs will be found there.)
Thanks for the post and the kind sentiments expressed.
My theory is almost the exact opposite. Many of the good right thinking people abandoned the party in the 1980's and 1990's. They were a key to the GOP's victory during that period.
The problem is that when the conservative wing of the Democratic party largely up and left, they left behind a power vacuum in their wake that was filled by some of our "favorite" personalities.
The Democratic party is one of the two parties in a two party system. It's not going to go away. So we do the best we can with what we've got.
What you've got right now is a shambles, and it doesn't appear to be anywhere close to turning itself around any time soon. What with the Deans, Gores, McCauliffes and Kerrys of your party running around accusing everyone but themselves of being evil and stupid.
The exodus of your party is not so much what helped the Republicans as much as a much better political ideology, one that doesn't want to redistribute the wealth made by others to people who won't do the hard work themselves. Just to name one issue where your party is aligned with socialists.
I could go on and on, but what's the use, you seem to enjoy being in the minority party if only to say you're not a Republican and you're sticking it out for better or worse. That's fine, I wish you well.
However, the more you get yourself educated about conservative issues the more you will realize that you are being lied to and used. Here's hoping one day you will have had enough and you will give a party other than the socialist, lying democrats a chance.
