I see you are making your way down this thread making snarky comments as you go.
Stop for a moment when you get to the many posts that equate this WOD to the WOT.
Then feel free to rip apart the many brave men and women who have fought and died in the WOT. Feel free to insult them as you have the moral conservatives like me and Douglas here on FR.
You are a liberal. A moral liberal.
There is no way to compare the two. However, you are still suffering under the delusion that the term, War on Terror, means something. It does not. Who IS “Terror”? Where does he reside? Terrorism is a TACTIC, not an enemy. So I can’t address that until you define your terms and tell me who the enemy actually is... To me it is a bunch of Islamo-nazis who deserve extermination.
The WO(s)D, on the other hand, is a direct assault on the citizenry and Constitution of the United States of America. Nothing less. And YOU are one of those moral reprobates who believes in tearing down the Republic in the name of some nebulous “good,” which you can’t even define. Is it “Morality?” No, it can’t be, for morality is a PERSONAL, voluntary thing. Morality cannot be forced upon another because if you try, you stop being moral. It’s not even BIBLICAL, for you cannot point out anywhere that Jesus (presuming you claim to be a Christian) said that His followers should GET A LAW PASSED to outlaw “sinful” behavior, because THAT doesn’t exist, either. In point of fact, He said we should go forth and be witnesses of Him to those around us, not accusers and “morality cops.”
So what IS the WO(S)D? Besides an assault by government and its cheerleaders, like you and others on this board, on the American People and our Contract that allows government to exist in the first place, I mean.
Oh, and you and Dougy are anything BUT conservative, if by that term one means someone who wants to conserve the Constitution and the Republic created thereby. Because it’s painfully obvious that, with each of the excesses of the war on some drugs, the Constitution is further eroded and the Republic is turned more and more to where the Roman Republic was before it became the Roman Empire.
And it’s not MORAL, because MORALITY, a MORAL CODE, must be voluntarily accepted and adhered to, else it is nothing but more coercion and compulsion. Morality is how you behave when NO ONE ELSE is looking. What YOU are calling for is more statist compulsion and when you want more statism, what does that make you? A STATIST. A big government junkie. Someone normal folks shun and abjure. A moral reprobate.
And note well that I do not EVER insult my younger brothers and sisters in the services. YOU DO, by daring to compare your worthless self to them in any way, shape or form.
