Posted on 09/16/2005 7:33:26 PM PDT by When do we get liberated?

Just wanted to share with some of you something that happened early this month. This requires some background. I have no liscense (Not a drunk, I just drive like aan idiot) and I get a ride 35 miles each way to work and back, 75% of the time by a married couple who have been friends of mine for several years. We were friends before they morphed into Michael Moore's stepchildren. The husband is more muted, certainly with the same belief structure but not as radical. The wife thinks it was wrong to attack Iraq...AND Afghanistan. The falling debris from the world towers should have been transformed into a shower of taxpayer funded aid missions. When we wander into politics I have to bite my tongue and keep the temperature down in the car or I may lose my friend and my job. There is no public transportation outside Raleigh, unless you count $130 a day in cab fare. Driving home one night with the two of them she starts telling me about her ethics class where she learned "moral isolationism" which says that nobody from our culture can say that anything is right or wrong about any other culture, because what they do is right in their way. We have not lived in that culture so we cannot judge, by any means, others to be wrong in any way. I shut up and ignored it as I knew it would be a long, irritating drive home if I did anything else. We got to my house and I flipped ibn the T.V. it was the anniversary of the Beslan School Massacre. I left it on for nearly a full hour until it was over. In detail the takeover, rigging of bombs to women, random killings et al. All told by the schoolchildren. One child somewhat calmy described his father's head being blown apart by a machine gun round after the terrorists blew the gymnasium apart without provocation. He remembers hoping that the terminator would come and save them. 40 odd minutes of that in excrusiating detail was truely horrifying to and human with a sense of right and wrong. When the credits rolled, I changed the channel and said, very calmly and soothingly,"Not that they did anything wrong there. They were right in their own way." .................................................................................................................. SILENCE FROM A LIBERAL

Changing the subject, did you see Gen. Honore give somebody in the media a major "Smack Down" today? I've been getting it ready to host and haven't found a thread for it yet. (Shameless self-invitation to post it here!)

I have 38 days to go. Better to educate liberals than find a new line of work
