Yes. And I'm back at it.

The ignorant, MSM guzzlers are now arguing with the guys who are actually THERE.

It's unbelieveable!

[ohioWfan]

The boy said that Iraq could not be a democracy because they were never a democracy in the first place.

Context clues are helpful, Jim.

[txradioguy]

What don't you get about the fact that things ARE being accomplished in Iraq?

[MamaB]

Because he is a dumb dem.

[DollyCali]

yes, I was reading some of it.. ma'am you are one "tough" lady!

you will be REALLY read for sanity island tongiht wont you?

[txradioguy]

It's not just Dems that are repeating this tripe sadle. There are a lot of so called Conservatives that have yet to understand they are not getting the entire story from the DBM.

[B-Chan]

I have never claimed that our military forces have lost the war in Iraq. They have not. What I did say (and do maintain) is that we have lost the war on the home front: that the war has been mismanaged from the start, and that as a result the American people do not support the war.

[ohioWfan]

LOL! My son didn't get ALL of his fight from his Dad.

(Plus there is a certain honor in being insulted by the dregs of FR. You know what I mean?? ;)

It is not 'cultural relativism' to believe that God has the power to change hearts

Let me repost what I said in #1,778. We will test your reading comprehension:

I am not a cultural relativist. I agree with Lord Acton - liberty has not existed long outside of Christianity. Until Muslims reject their wicked ways, they will not develop and ordered and free society. It is that simple. Read your Bible sometime. The prophets made similar points to the Israelites many, many times.

I did not deny the power of God to change hearts. I do deny the power of our military to change hearts. If you read your European history you will know that armies never changed hearts. Clovis, Charles Martel, Charlamagne and others all failed. But humble people without weapons who have given their lives to God can change hearts.

[MamaB]

Well, make that dumb people then.

"It is a mistake to try to look too far ahead. The chain of destiny can only be grasped one link at a time."

Thank you for posting this. I lifted it up because it is profound, and bears reflection, especially for all the hindsighters. Yes we can and should review tactics constantly and not be afraid to alter strategies, acknowledge that errors have been and will be made, as in every other war in history; but we need to recognize that we cannnot know what fruits our labors will bear if we but persevere in the overall effort. If a Democrat Congress had not run rabbit, ate sh*t and howled at the moon in 1975, George Bush might have been visiting a thriving, prosperous, free ally last week rather then a ramshackle post-Ho 'ho-house on the make.

[mystery-ak]

.it will just make him mad at how many clueless people there are back here in the states.



You're right about that.....he just doesn't understand how people cannot *get it*....but he knew that before he left.

[Jibaholic]

I don't care what your profile says. You throw around the term 'neocon' in ignorance and condescension.

And I get 'coward' and 'liberal.' When I debate the left about abortion I get called a conservative but I actually think of myself as a Christian radical who wants us to move dramatically forward, not back. When you adopt a set of positions, you are going to find yourself labeled. If you think Iraq can turn into a semi-civilized state, you will be called a neocon. That's how it works.

[ohioWfan]

Don't you think that many of these so-called conservatives are isolationists who don't think that anything is worth fighting for?

I see no difference between a Pat Buchanan and a George McGovern pacifist myself. They're both self-centered cowards, IMO........and followers from both sides of the spectrum hang around FR.

[ohioWfan]

If you think Iraq can turn into a semi-civilized state, you will be called a neocon. That's how it works.

That's how it works if you don't know what in the world you're talking about.

You're a mixed up kid with an enormous chip on your shoulder and really bad theology, and I for one, have had enough of your nonsense.

Good bye.

[ohioWfan]

Arrogant and ignorant, mixed with really bad theology. Good day.

[Sam Ketcham]

P.S. One question after the preface. COLAs will be 3.7% for Social Security recipients and others based on the CPI. Federal Employees are slated to get 2.7% (which may be cut). The Military is going to get 2.2%! Defense Authorization Bill, HR 5122. (Of course Rangel may stop the authorization period and there goes the military's raise. Question, HAVE YOU CALLED OR WRITTEN YOU REPRESENTATIVE AND DEMANDED EQUITY FOR OUR SOLDIERS? ... do you want them defending IRAQI borders to preserve Democracy while ours are wide open diluting our vote sic., Democracy? (Guess that's two questions, pick one.) My answer to your probable next question is probably yes, I have called.

[Jibaholic]

I guess I missed the chapter about spreading Christianity with the sword. Is that the Gospel of Ann Coulter?

[ohioWfan]

Oh, but just for the record......NO ONE ever said that armies could change hearts (but Christian soldiers can spread the Gospel with their lives, now can't they?)

So.......can I add deliberately misleading to arrogant and ignorant?
