Bump for your fears; I share them.

[twntaipan]

BTTT.

[Chena]

I share your fears, Neville72. BTTT

Listening to Mr. Bush in his press conference today I'd say his scrotum has shrunk considerably.
Can I kiss your ass Ms. Pelosi?

We are Europe. We have lost our instinct for survival

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Add Israel to the list!

Unfortunately, your observations are directly on target, and they echo thoughts that I myself had earlier today. This election has provided the template for any tyrant, any wanna-be tyrant, and every jihadi on how to defeat the United States in any conflict. All that they need to do is to join forces with America-haters in the Democrat party and the media (is there any difference?), and keep up the drumbeat of propaganda, and the corrosive fifth column will do the heavy lifting for them.

China's leadership certainly understands this well. Putin's cronies have undoubtedly taken notice. France's backstabbing class sees it as well. And the Iranian nutjobs, Venezuelan idiots, Al Quaeda murderers, Palestinian murderers, Baathists, and other assorted thugs see it clearly, too. They have plans that will unfold over time. The lives of their subjects are cheap, and their ambitions are unlimited. They have little to worry about - after all, who is going to stop them now?

Tawain would be far safer if the Republican Congress had not used Chinese funded debt to massively expand the size and scope of the Federal Government.

"The Greatest Generation" of Americans gave birth to The Worst Generation: That is we boomers; self-indulgent, childish, effeminate and narcissistic. Time for the few men of the Worst Generation to hide your guns: You're going to need them one day.

I'm not going to be afraid. But I'm not going to live in a major US city (make that target) either.

[Silly]

We just moved one step towards the dark ages today. How bad will it have to be before we take these jihadists seriously?

C'mon. Colin Powell already announced to Taiwan that
it was owned by China, in October of 2004. Fistfights broke
out in the Taiwanese legislature over the matter, and we
nearly lost a big arms sale of jets over it. It has nothing
to do with the Democrats.

Good luck Iraq, good luck S. Korea...... The Dems will "have" to show that they are different. They will make an effort to demonstrate that they made a change somewhere. The hard nose methods that are "necessary" with nations like Iran or N. Korea will fail with them sharing power. For our nations security this is a disaster.

It's times like this that I thank God that I am not prone to depression.

China will annex Taiwan later or sooner. The Guomintang supports it. In the real world, the U.S. is not going to fight a country with 1.4 billion people and 200 nuclear warheads to prevent it.

[COEXERJ145]

Let's just all kill ourselves so we don't have to worry about it.

The negativity on this forum is sickening.

[dforest]

Unless the conservatives present the new American, unafraid firebrand, unapologetic, bold guy, the people who have depended on us are toast. Live with it , it is reality.

[tflabo]

The chia pet Ill Kim chee NK can now pursue his little nuclear kingdom now that his pals.....the Dems are back in control. More champagne toasts with Madaleine Halfwit there Dear Leader? Sorry Japan..you are on your own.

[badbass]

I dunno. I almost think that it would take a Democrat leading America before half of the nitwits that I know would support defending America. It's sad but true. I don't know where this stupid "I'll vote for anybody, as long as they are a Democrat" mentality comes from, but it is rampant. If the right Democrat came along (Zell Miller type), this kind of people would be behind him "tooth and nail" in a fight. It's strange, but true. Don't despair.

"Never say die while there's a shot in the locker".

[Batrachian]

You guys all sound like the Dems did 2 years ago: "The sky is falling and this isn't America anymore". What a bunch of chicken littles.

I say that all those little countries that have relied on us for the last 60 years have taken us for suckers and should defend themselves. Are you worried about Japan and S. Korea? They could develop and deploy a complete nuclear deterrent in 4 years or less. Ditto Taiwan.

They have no need to when Uncle Sucker will do it for them. How about we think of ourselves first from now on. As for the Dems, they wouldn't have a prayer if our guys weren't such losers. Let's fix our own house and then watch theirs fall apart. I'm talking real conservatism here. We haven't seen it yet. Not in 1980, or 1994, and definitely not in 2000.

Let's start now.

[Smogger]

That was utterly pollyanish and wishful thinking.

You got that right.
