FDR was a hero of Ronald Reagan's also. Time for you to tar and feather the gipper.
Our troops are on the other side of the world fighting and dying to defend out nation. They cannot be beaten on the battlefield, but as you point out, they can be beat at home.
But people like you deserve much credit yourself. You understand that danger and you are standing up and fighting for those troops. We owe then no less.
I'm proud to be serving with you in that regard.
I agree, especially your french socialistic appeasment to terrorism.
Of course you would, you and Michael Moore wallow in it all the time.
I'm not a huge fan of Reagon, he was for open borders just like Bush.
And just like Bush, he gave ALL the illegals Mexico could send us amnesty.
Was that a good thing in your book?
In fact, the only President I truly admire is George Washington.
But I aim high, REAL high.
Too bad so few presidents have aspired to follow in the Father of the Republic's footsteps.
I am not surprised. The modern President that you seem to admire the most is jacques chirac.
But he aims high...which would explain so many self inflicted arse wounds.
Thank you....I wish we could put aside our conservative differences and all join to support our nation in its quest for solutions to the terror threats today. Our troops deserve no less....
Iraq is a long range plan to help the ME have one country with a more just government and a place where terror doesn't have a chaotic place to train and base...The President said we are not trying to make them like Americans.
I admire more Presidents than just him, but I'll say one thing, he was the only President they had to talk into taking the job, and that speaks volumes. In any position of authority it is best to begin with a little skepticism.
That being said though, I don't think President Bush is power hungry. And while I'm sure he wants to be re-elected, if he's not he'll return to 'civilian' life happy, not besotted with the thought that he no longer wields power. Clinton is just the opposite.
His desire for the Presidency should have raised everyone's suspicion merely by dint of the fact that he'd been longing for it since he was 16. That's abnormal, and he's abnormal!
And today we have reports coming out of the serious threat of a major attack in America this year...just like in Spain.
The Spanish crumbled. I know most of America is far better then that.
Kerry has had his eye on the prize almost as long as Clinton did...scary.
I still believe in the ability of Americans to face the danger and not surrender to it.
You know, for the longest time, I couldn't quite work up a healthy dislike for Kerry, probably in part because he did serve his Country, and that means a lot to me, even if I'm at odds with nearly all his views. But, his conduct since just before winning the primaries and to date is shocking in its baseness. I think I'm starting to dislike him as much as I did clinton, and that's saying something!
The 60 pretty much represent the cities, the intellectuals...the liberals. The 40 represent the common people, including those in Malaga who came up to us to apologize...it also represents the Spanish military troops who cried when they found out they were being withdrawn.
Fortunately for us, I think the split is more like 70-30. The anti-war crowd are loud but they really don't speak for America. When push comes to shove Conservative Americans and the run of the mill every day Democrats do what's necessary to win.
Have you seen his testimony before the Congressional committee in 71 and what his fellow swift boat commanders have said? The Winter Soldier.com site is a treasure trove of info!
Do you want to start a pool of when chamberlainbuff posts his next fifth column screed on FR?
I'll take 1:00 AM Eastern.
It's hard to tell, as globally, leftist papers with anti-war screeds go to press at all hours of the day and night.
Ditto Howlin.
