Good morning all! Many thanks to AB for this thread, which continues to be WAY better than the Sunday talk shows. Congratulations to last week’s winners, and to all the informed posts on this thread. I—and probably most FReepers—would much rather read the ongoing debates between MNJohnie and Kabar than watch a phony “debate” between ‘rat Harry Reid and “Republican” Olympia Snowe.
That said, I have incredible problems, trying to understand this “war weariness” phenomenon. It’s everywhere. Even, as AB states, in Alabama. I see NO civilian sacrifices, low casualty rates, full employment, a 14,000 Dow, a soaring ecomomy, etc. etc. But “critics” are “tired of this war.” Until you remind ‘em of the points that AB does such a good job of stating.
The ‘rat’s Congressional approval rating in lower than NIXON’S—on the day he left office (thanks, Anita, for the link to the blogger who pointed this out). As pointed out on this thread week after week, the ‘rats sound just like the terrorists defense lawyers. The ‘rats criticize everything the Bush Administration does—or they simply don’t report the good stuff, like the truth about tax cuts, rising revenue flows, a fantastic economy, etc. Americans don’t like being told (by the ‘rats and the MSM/LSM/DBM) that good things for America are “really” bad things, because they aren’t good for the ‘rats. A 14% Congressional ‘rat approval rating? The MSM/LSM/DBM will probably ignore this, too, like the do all positive economic news.
The constant drumbeat of negative messages is wearying to the vast number of Americans who want to stop hearing about the carnage in Iraq when they hear a news broadcast or read a paper.
Anti (American)-war activists call us "pro-war", and this is not how people want to think of themselves, either. It is time to try to change this slogan to "pro-victory."
Since the DBM/dem party have made such an issue of "redeployment" we must fight language with language, and use the words "withdrawal" and "surrender." We have to fight against the dbm/left control of language usage all the time.
So accurate, the surrender mode the rat/media have near successfully portrayed is truly a made-up event and hopefully, sooner rather than later, more Americans will see right through it.
