You can bet at least 183 of those were not in support of what I said, and since I didn't respond, perhaps all 184 were negative. Anyway, take a look at some of the comments. I never read comments, but I'm sure they are a hoot.
I am more convinced that the left will drag us down and get us killed then we will defeat Islam.
I think you're wrong. And so is the left. But we'll put you in the pessimism column, so start looking for a cave.
I don't see it - the momentum is with the muslims. They are taking over parts of the world (Sudan, France, Niger, Lebanon) etc. without losing any part of the muslim world. They have practiced genocide (Kosovo, Darfur) with a peep from the world. They are increasingly islamizing what is left of the west. They have larger families and not assimilating into any country, When they get power - they destroy anything non muslim.
I agree. They are doing great in Africa, spreading the killing and persecution of non-muslims.
LS, I agree with you, we will win this war, because of who we are. "We will not tire, we will not falter!" "Time to Roll!"
L et every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill,
that we will pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship,
support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the
survival and the success of Liberty.

Only our individual faith in freedom can keep us free.

Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.

Momentums change. For a time during WWII, no one would deny the momentum was with Japan and Germany. Things change, and they did back then, and can now. Giving up (defeatism) is not an option.
Absolutely correct, we will never win war on "terror" until we eradicate Islam starting in our own backyard, round them up and deport them for starters. "Terror" stems from Koran not from Magna Carta or Declaration of Independence.
Excellent piece and right on IMO. At times, our people have suffered low morale and our military have lost battles throughout history only to rally and come out victorious.
When times have looked bleakest, our determination has overcome the deafeatism of many in our nation.
The fight in this WOT is no different, we will prevail.
Throughout history, it is FREEDOM that wins, and they flat don't have it. But you're welcome to crawl under your rock while the rest of us triumph!
The tide of history is with us, not them.
The seeds of defeatism are sewn from within, don't fall prey to it.
In WWII, we had a plan. We were fighting mad. The country was united. We had no qualms about killing every hun and jap we could find. Heck, we even rounded up many Japanese (and Germans and Italians) for interment.
Now, we are afraid to even talk unpleasant to known terrorists in Gitmo. In WWII, they would have been executed with a month (like the known Nazis spies and saboteurs that come to the USA in U-Boats).
