Well said blackie!! Well said!!

BUMP for common sense!

[Vets_Husband_and_Wife]

You're right!

People don't realize that this is a LIFE OR DEATH situation in MORE WAYS than ONE!

We've been encouraging the "Freedom Fighters" to step up in Iran. Then John Kerry sends out his little e-mail and basically tells them "I'm backing the hardliners and will work with THEM!". (We know al Queda is in Iran!! We know Irans history on human rights! We know the situation with the IEA regarding the nuclear situation and yet we have Kerry interferring!)

He basically is telling countries working "with" and "harboring" terrorists since 9-11... "I WILL APPEASE COUNTRIES THAT SUPPORT TERRORISM AND BACK TERRORISTS, BECAUSE THIS COUNTRY DID THE WRONG THING IN STANDING UP AGAINST ALL OF YOU".

He stabbed the Freedom Fighters in Iran in the back..and worst than that.. he just signed their death certificates if he wins!

This is serious!

We don't need a military response to acts of terrorism, whether or not it is committed here or overseas.

Corporate American hegemony ('globalism') is doing a good job of spreading American culture to the rest of the globe and diluting/subjugating the cultures of the unreformed religions and unwashed masses.

It is the fact that they are doing their jobs so well that infuriates and compels the terrorists to lash out in the first place.

Let the terrorists self destruct. Their cultures are doomed and the West will prevail without lifting a finger.

BUMP

Thanks ~ just a few thoughts from an old veteran and retired truck driver. :)

[Vets_Husband_and_Wife]

A veteran who "gets it"!

BTW.. thanks for your service!

Since 9/11, all terrorist attacks on American interests have occurred overseas.

I am not certain that I accept that as entirely accurate. I have no provable evidence to the contrary, but there have been some certain "events" that have made me curious to say the least about the containment of "terrorism" in the USA. A part of me is of course skeptical of all that is reported to us by the media.

Well, anyhow, I greatly appreciate your column here. I find you to be very clear thinking and logical. I wish that we had candidates such as you up here in Massachusetts. I certainly would vote for you, if you ran up here.

Good luck, and thank you.

An old veteran ~ I was in the Navy in the late 40's. :):)

[Rocky]

Good column. Hope someone is listening.

[hershey]

Really great article!

[nopardons]

That's exactly right!

For all of the one issue voters, for all of the fringers who claim that there is no difference between President Bush and Kerry, and for all of the MORE CONSERVATIVE THAN THOUERS,who refuse to look reality squarely in the face,it's time to stop pounding their breasts,talking about "the lesser of two evils" and supposed " principles" and "integrity" ............it's long past time to wake up. "Principles" and "integrity" are fine things, but neither is useful when terrorists are out there and more than ready to kill us all.

[Vets_Husband_and_Wife]

Nothing better than something that has "aged" well my FRiend! Many things come to mind! :o)

God Bless you!

Thanks to the rhetoric of people like Kennedy and Kerry it doesn't appear Spain will be the only "appeasers". I was sickened even further by the comments of Poland and the "misled" comments regarding WMD's.

Right after 9-11 when Kennedy and Daschle started spouting their vitriol (and showed their obvious hatred toward this President) a lot of us were alarmed by their comments and other Democrats comments regarding this President during war. It was un-precedented in the history of our nation. A dangerous precedent I might add!

I'm afraid we are starting to see the seeds of those comments bearing fruit. I'm not being dramatic when I say.. God protect us. I mean it sincerely!

So many things are coming to light. Just today we are hearing of Kofi Annan's son having a financial connection to Saddam Hussiens old Government (I believe the controversy will be the Oil for food program and PROFIT being taken!). We KNOW that France, Germany and Russia had Oil Contracts (Against UN mandates and Resolutions!). Soon after going in to Iraq we found fairly NEW weapons AFTER resolutions banning them which were sold by some of the SAME countries to Iraq, violating UN Resolutions!!

We KNOW FOR A FACT that Saddam Hussien was in VIOLATION OF UN RESOLUTION 1441. Yet you sure didn't hear Teddy Kennedy or Sen. Kerry talking much about all those violations!

NOPE.. don't BLAME Saddam Hussein for his down fall. Don't blame HIM for his demise. Don't blame HIM for al Quaeda being in IRAQ BEFORE 9-11. (ONE OF THE PILOTS WHO FLEW INTO THE WORLD TRADE CENTER "WAS" IN IRAQ PRIOR TO 9-11).

THAT'S A FACT!!

NO NO NO.. Can't do that TED KENNEDY!! CAN'T DO THAT JOHN F. KERRY!!! DON'T BLAME SADDAM!

Gotta BLAME President Bush!! BLAME AMERICA!!

And therefore.. Blame every American soldier!!

TAKE AWAY every bit of support we can get.. little by little!!

Which is EXACTLY what is happening!!

Isn't that rich???

They say they want UN help!! That we NEED to build a coalition! Yet they are decimating it with their rhetoric. And if they think they can build it back up... they are so full of crap they won't be able to get rid of it for a month of Sundays!

The COWARDS who are pulling out will simply say that they need "time" to trust us again. HOW CONVIENENT!! ALL our success will be ruined! RUINED!! But WORST is the LIVES of our troops they are endangering!!

This is EXACTLY why you NEVER speak out against a sitting President during a time of war! Why conventional wisdom has known this!

But the Democraps are so POWER hungry that they are INCAPABLE of putting the NEEDS of America before POWER!

Iraq and Afganistan weren't a disaster.. they are a huge success. Which is why the terrorists are hitting us so hard right now! They are in PANIC mode! They SAID SO IN THEIR RECENT LETTER!!

How sad that everyone is allowing this WIN to fall apart at such a vital moment.

I'm so frustrated at the IGNORANCE of the Democrats. Running for office is one thing. They could have run on the Economy, on Social Security, on other issues. Say you can continue on with our war efforts. But to do what they have done is .....

..... there is no word in the English language for it.

[nopardons]

What a rant and brilliantly put;I might add.

I'm very impressed ! You hit every point and it was grand slam home runs to the end.

Can't add a thing...won't even try; your words should stand alone.:-)

[cyborg]

I almost got YOU TWO confused because the posted used NOPARDONS TRADEMARKED CAPITALIZED RANTING AND RAVING. Don't confuse me that way again :-)

[nopardons]

LOL...but I'm really not the only one here who usues caps. :-)

[blackie]

Thanks ~ :)

God Bless you, too!

[HitmanLV]

Actuzlly, for "Spain has just had its own 9/11, literally," to be meaninful, it would have to have occured on September 11.

[Vets_Husband_and_Wife]

Been doing THAT for YEARS!! :o)

IT'S for EMPHASIS!! (I've always said there is NO SUCH thing as YELLING on a computer. (It's not only impossible it's simply illogical). LOL

BTW, .. if I have to be "confused" with anyone I'll take being confused with nopardons as a compliment. ;o)

Take care and FRegards!

[cyborg]

LOL! Glad you take it as a compliment :-)
