Or are we to return to traditional values and be a free nation once again?

Well, no. It's much too late for that.

Too late? I once saw a great sea faring sailing ship movie. One of the sailors said, "I'd bet my entire voyage's earnings against anyone else's that we will all die and drown." An officer came bye, said, "It's a bet," and shook the sailors hand, sealing the wager. Then the sailor stopped to think. "If I win, how can I spend it?"

I'm coming to the conclusion that God blessed us with a fine president. With this man as President, nothing within the bounds of scripture is impossible:

"Well, no. It's much too late for that."

Not one to be overly pessimistic, I agree.

Good article Arthur.

Terrific post! I'm saving this one in my new "Great Rants" folder. :o)

I agree with you wholeheartedly.

I appreciate that. Not wasting my time, eh? Well, I ranted out a few other related ones, too. FReegards....

So we had to make coordination of intelligence gathering illegal. Result: 3,000 dead innocents that we aren't supposed to talk about any more. We should forget it even happened and focus on the fake porno pictures that show how evil the US military is.

I'm still waiting to see the suppressed 911 pics- bodies of those that jumped, etc.

Someone has them, and we may need a reminder of what exactly we are up against, as if the Berg video wasn't enough.

A clear double standard. We are shown ficticious porno pictures and told its real by the Boston Globe [man that state is working overtime right now!], because that shows how effective Clinton was in sliming up our military's ethics with Don't Ask, Don't Tell, and have women and Barney Frank types bunk with naked GIs, sharing showers with them. But when it comes to actual photos that would scare the devil out of Spain, don't show those photos to red blooded Americans. We would want to invade Syria, liberate Iran, Moab any resistant villages and simply shoot un-uniformed enemies on sight. I guarantee you, if we were more Spanish and French, they would show us those photos.

Great post.

I'm a little baffled myself.

I've had one thing in common with the leftist media since 9/11, I've agreed with them that we should not paint all Muslims with a broad brush dipped in the bucket of terrorism; do not judge the many by the actions of the relatively few.

I've taken a lot of heat in this forum for this stance.

But now, the very same media that told me not to judge a civilization based on the actions of the terrorists, is judging our government, our troops, and our nation based on the actions of a few out of control soldiers.

I can actually understand the actions of terrorists, unlike the leftist media, they are honest about their hatred of America.

I agree that we should think of most Iraqis as human beings. Why? Because it's true. At the same time, imagine if only 1% of the US became homocidal maniacs. We could lose our freedom overnight. Clearly, not even 1% of Iraqis are maniacs. In fact, many of the terrorists are foreign imports. That's what makes it so frustrating. And maybe GW is even scared of showing us too many acts of terror. But IMHO, it's better for the general US population to be 'bad cop', ready to kill'em'all, while the president is 'good cop', than to have the Spanish scenario where the people are outright cowards compared to their leader. Our media, of course, wants to Spain us unless a rat is president.

But guess what? I've been hearing that al qaida is planning to Spain us right before the election. The blood will be on the old media's hands, and we need to be in position to point that out when the time comes.

No need to thank me. The pleasure is entirely Barney Frank's.

"We just need to stand firm and show them that not speaking out and joining the band makes them one of the 'uglies', too."

The cult of Islam weilds the cudgel of fatwa. We, as Americans, rarely respond in kind, declaring fatwa on people over mere words and/or gestures. It's not simple by any means. We need more eavesdropping equipment and better language training CDs so that posted soldiers can eavesdrop and understand what suspious people are saying, simply by having an ear plug, while being posted to watch for actual attacks, eating in the chow room, cleaning, exercizing, etc. It's kind of like listening to talk radio while doing other things, only in reverse. 150,000 RELIABLE spies, insto-presto, essentially chewing gum and walking at the same time.

Speaking of Barney Frank and Massa-pukus]

God has One Foot Out the Door [Part 4, We're Being (Censored)]

[It describes Massapukus and Barney Frank so well that it was yanked from the FR. A state and representative not fit to talk about in polite society.]

"Don't ask, don't tell." How many times has that policy been violated to satisfy the liberals trying to see how slimy our military has become? Will soldiers be court martialled for aiding congress in its investigation if they happen to intrude on what consenting adults are doing in the military? It all ties together in a sick orgy of depravity by the Left.
