Liberals are racists and believe that Democracy is unnatural for nonwhite people unless managed and guided by white Liberals so that democracy is only an illusion to allow the inferior people to think they have something that they will have great gratitude to liberals for.
How will you know what reaction the majority of Iraqis have if all you ever use to get your information is CNN, CBS and the AP? Idiot liberal.
You considered yourself a Democrat up until W came along (2000), but you've been a FReeper since '98?
Something kinda strange about that x.
The first time I voted at age 19, it was an independent and I also voted for Carter. It's one of the regrets of my life. I had the chance to vote for one of our greatest Presidents and I didn't. Oh well, live and learn.
John Stewert pondered last night "What if they were right?" (they being Bush and Co.). He said his whole world view would be turned on its head. I think the pictures of all the joyous, hopeful and brave Iraqis hir a lot of people upside the head for a minute.
But no fear, I'm sure most of them will be back to their anti-Bush screech in a few days. It will come boiling back up. Too bad to live like that, glad its not me.
I do think some fence sitters will be persuaded.
I'm glad the parents/loved ones of the 1400+ military killed in Iraq got to see the Iraqis vote, I hope that gives them some iota of comfort for what their loved ones were doing.
Amzaing what happens when reality hits the libs smack in the face!
This guys finally starting to grasp small parts of reality.... but he's still not there yet. You are being lied to about Iraq, and have been from day one. When we leave IRAQ, and I know it won't be soon and it won't be easy, but when that day comes, and if we did our jobs right, when we leave the free and peaceful Iraqi people will cry tears of appreciation for our help, their hearts will be filled with Joy for their future and they will remember us always in their hearts.
We are not some cruel empire, and never have been... benevolent liberator has been our role around the world now for nearly 100 years, and your denial of reality continues to show just how misinformed you have been.
Yes, it will not be easy, it will come at a price, but it will change the world for the better, and will lead to a more peaceful and safer tommorrow.
I loved your post.............
I just emailed it to my NYPD son to show his liberal co-workers.
Believe it or not, only a couple of cops in his unit are Bush supporters.
And he's in Counter Terrorism.
I became a Freeper in 98 and considered myself a conservative by that time although I was still a registered democrat.
Being career military, I was never one to vote in primary elections.....which in Ohio is when declaring a party takes place.
Thank you!
Just as we couldn't allow the left to isolate our motives for invading Iraq to one....WMD, we cannot allow them to say our only motive was to liberate the Iraqi people. Our willingness to stand and die in both Afghanistan and Iraq were necessary to reestablish American resolve and thereby restore respect, the lack of which culminated in the attack on 9-11.
Victor Davis Hansen says there is an element of HUMILIATION required to end all wars, this moment could not have been reached without the dual spectre of Saddam's extraction from that spider hole, and Sunday's embrace of the essence of Westernism by an entire Arab nation. I believe Bush has provided the most dire consequences possible to our enemy, look for things to wind down now.
Take THAT Osama!
This guy reminds me of Kerry butting to the head of the line to pay his "respect" to Ronald Reagan. He doesn't want to be on the wrong side of history.
I don't agree with all of his suppositions, but he's come a long way in perceiving reality. (This is very hard for a liberal -- I was one once too, and it took almost a Road to Damascus experience to make me see the light!)
We should all email him messages of support, and congratulate him for his honesty. No doubt he will be catching H*ll from many of his colleagues.
My thinking since before 2000.
Good post. Great FReeper comments bump.
Anyway, the way I see life, those sacrificing their lives are great because of the effort, and no matter what the outcome, they are heroes. Whether they succeed or not has nothing to do it.
In any rescue effort, one does not stop to calculate the risks, and be sure of a desired outcome before making a risky effort. Just remember where we might all be if Jesus had thought the liberal way, never mind if his blessed mother had.
Just my pre-caffeine mental meanderings... be gentle, I am only half awake.
"Would it be worth all the lives that have been lost?"
Leftists have such short memories. We lost 40,000 men in one battle of the civil war. We lost 5000 in one battle in the Pacific against the Japanese. Losing 500 or so a year is about the number we would lose in auto accidents and training in a normal year. I am not diminishing the risk our guys are taking, but we have made war about as safe as it can get short of using all robots.
Does anyone remember the recent tsunami (you wouldn't think so from the MSM press lack of coverage-no blood no ratings.)
The death toll is approaching 300,000 and I think they are 1 or 2 hundred k short.
If we are too soft to lose soldiers against an enemy that wants to kill us all, we don't deserve to have a country.
I was an independent out of ignorance.
At least I can say I was never actually registered as a Dem. I guess thats something.
God Bless xzins.
subterfuge
Our soldiers and Marines know what they have done. And today they don't care what the MSM, or Barbara Boxer and Ted Kennedy and John Kerry say. They are proud and glad to have been a part of history.
See my post above. Maybe you should lodge that question directly to the writer? It'd be interesting to see what he has to say.
