Ronald Reagan once said that, "Of the four wars in my lifetime, none came about because the U.S. was too strong."

Go Gipper.

This is a perfect statement of fact summarized nicely in bulletts.
I will make a paper copy and carry it around when approached by anyone supporting Her Heinous or Obama.

We need to be VERY afraid should RATS take the WH in 08 and look for another 911 to occur.

Good assessment. Add to that the Democrats really do want to see America lose and you have a party that thinks America is not a great nation, period - and not meant to be one.

This is a great one to save for some simple arguing points when confronting liberals.

I would have to add a #10 I remember this one I was there. And this single issue turned me into a Republican. (read my profile)

HERE GOES, NUMBER 10
10) The Democrats have a long history of backing away from a fight. Along with the aforementioned Iraq Hostage Crisis, I would add Libya in the late 1970’s when Qaddafi decided to extend the coastal claims of Libya forbidding the American Carrier task force from entering the Gulf of Sidra, waters the rest of the World recognized as being international waters. The Carter government had rescheduled our maneuvers to stay outside the prohibited area. True to form, Carter failed to confront Qaddaffi, even after the siege on the American embassy in Tripoli in 1979. Within months of taking office Ronald Reagan took a stand. He made it clear that American maneuvers would proceed as they always had before Carter. Anticipating confrontation the Joint Chiefs of Staff asked Reagan for clear rules of engagement: What should American pilots do if attacked? Do we allow “hot pursuit? Reagan’s answer? “ All the way to the hanger.”

Neither Democrats nor Republicans can win any war against any enemy at any time. We haven't won a war since WW II, and we aren't going to win this one either. The reasons are very simple. The American people will only support a war where no one gets killed. The media will always lie to reinforce the lunatic idea that no one should get hurt in war. Finally, our government officials do not have the character necessary to stand up against the American people and the media and simply do the right thing. If you put these three things together, you get the conclusion with which I began this post--America will never win another war--ever!!! So, let's just bring our soldiers home, protect our own borders as well as possible, and pray that no enemy ever attacks us.

If Dems were in power, Bin Laden would still be running his operations with strong support from the Taliban. They're always claiming that the real war is in Afghanistan, but the Dems wouldn't have done anything. Gore would have tried to "negotiate" with the Taliban who would have laughed in his goofy face. And we would have been hit with another 9/11. No Patriot Act, no deplacing hostile Islamo-fascist governments, nothing. Just talk.
