Waydda go Medford!

Bump for later read, as I only managed the first 3 paragraphs in detail, as it's late and I'm pretty much toast right now.

He nailed those first 3. Will have to download this article into the palmpilot for future reference if I ever bother to debate a liberal.

I bet Rush picks up on it tomorrow.

I never really liked Medford's appearance or demeanor (sorry, he just looks ODD to me) on the tube, but he's a clear thinker and can articulate his conservative thoughts well on paper.

"Waydda go Medford!"

If it is Medved we are talking about, I agree.

#10 The American People.

One other difference (it should have a category of its own) is there existed a SILENT MAJORITY that was mostly silent during the Vietnam War. That is not the case today. Those of us who served and who will never forget what it was like upon coming home, will not allow the voices of the Michael Moores or the Mother Sheehans to prevail as they did a generation ago.

It's the Michael Medved who used to guest host for Rush. I think he did his broadcasts from Seattle when filling in back then. Not sure where his nationally syndicated radio show is currentl based.

I agree this article is profound, and very well written as always by Michael Medved. If this was back in the 60's when the Americans were spitting on Hagel and other soldiers like my Brother instead of honoring them and if I knew what that traitor Hagel was going to do decades later, I would have left my job at the "pentagon" and slapped him in the face. I did not appreciate getting Bomb threats when I worked there, it was a very bad time in our History thanks to crummy, seditious behavior like his. He did not like being spit on and condemned, but what in the hell does he think he is doing to our soldiers now?

I thought so. Great Movie Critic as well as a Patriot in the mode of David Horowitz.

This is right on target.

Thanks, Lysie!

Bob Beckel was on Hannity's radio show yesterday spouting that most Americans disapprove of the war.

Beckel, who loves to play word games, never stated why many disapprove. If anything I think many Americans feel we should be more aggressive.

In light of his proclamation Beckel seems to be off target, according to the figures Medved gives.

Bashing the war... it's the left's new "talking point". On Fox Allstars all this week, Mort Kondrake has stated "How badly the war is going", and the "Iraq war is highly unpopular", and "most American's want to pull out now".

TRAITORS ALL!
