Terrorist have been around for thousands of years. The middle east would still be a breeding ground for terrorist even if we did nothing in Iraq or Afghanistan. The warped minds of extremist will use any excuse to justify their insanity and yours is the latest justification.
Did we go into Iraq to make Democracy?
It seems to be working for them at the moment
Is it good that the Iraqis are freed from the power of a brutal dictator? Maybe.
The only reason why the libs are upset about Iraq is that they and the UN lost their money supply from Saddam. Other than that, I fail to see any other rational reason to keep Saddam in power.
There is ample historical evidence that Democracy is not a cure all (Zimbabwe, Haiti, etc).
Communism only killed a few million people...Let's give it another chance argument?
Kitties are watching
Now where's yours?
If you work real hard with much effort, and somebody else is lazier than you.. Who do you think will make more money.?.
I said, me of course, get serious and answer my question...
He said, under communism you would be paid the same.. or close to the same..
I said, no way, nobody would stand for that for very long...
He said, lazy people would...
At that I became Anti-Communist.. at thirteen not knowing left from right, socialism from democracy, patriot from traitor..
It was much later that I learned democracy CAUSES socialism, and communism "IS" socialism.. and that socialism is merely a symptom of democracy but democracy is the social disease and that the United States is a republic, a unique republic, and whats posted above is WHY it is...
"I now regard the politicizing of young children as a form of child abuse."
I taught my kids about Ronald Reagan, Winston Churchill, John Kennedy, and FDR from an early age. Two grown conservatives and one liberal was the result, still 66 percent.
Communist indoctrination is indeed child abuse, but if parents can't teach politics to their kids who can?
What evidence was that? Something Scott "Burger King" Ritter was saying?
Pretty post all in all...
But the truth is not in the middle..
Democracy is a disease and "the left" are democrats no matter the party affiliation because democracy causes socialism.. RINOs also are democrats.. Marx and Lenin were democrats too...
Evidence.....
Democracy is the road to socialism. Karl Marx
Democracy is indispensable to socialism. The goal of socialism is communism. V.I. Lenin
The meaning of peace is the absence of opposition to socialism.- Karl Marx
How many Iraqi's have gotten fed into woodchippers since the election?
BTTT
Do you recommend Medved's book? Just finished John Stossel's, documents a similar but less dramatic personal right turn. I was kind of amazed at Stossel's simple elegance in making his points.
Your article resonated with me quite painfully.
My parents, though not Socialist or Communist members, were typical Jewish liberals & children of immigrants. Their friends & relatives were very much left-wingers. All of them watched their children descend into drugs or, ahem, "alternate" lifestyles.
Both my parents died with a certain bitterness, watching their dreams go up in smoke. Mind you, I did not turn right out of rebellion. Rather, on my own cognizance, I saw through the liberal rhetoric and realized how much of it was based on emotional, or wishful thinking.
It is no accident that the left-wing movements of the nineteenth-century coincided with romanticism. Liberalism is a youthful folly. Thank G-d I grew up a little bit. Sadly, so many haven't.
"They did exaggerate the evidence they had to make their case though. They did knowingly ignore contradictory evidence."
I don't care how many dem talking points you've memorized.
You are delusional if you think there was no WMD threat from Saddam.
