I think the events of the last couple of days will bring forth a new renaossance of American pride, self esteem and narional patriotism.

The lefty dem commies should probably be worried and that couldn’t happen to a better bunch of bastards.

Maybe these leftie commie dems should think seriously about living in another country.

Is it really pride?

Do we have the pride to admit we’re being played like a fiddle and beat like a drum by the prince of fools?

THINK!!!!!!!!!!

Please ping me to Iowahawk articles. Thanks. :)

I’m sorry but I don’t see anyt5hing in the last couple of days that warrants this patriotic celebration. I think obama is playing us for fools. I’m glad obl is finally roasting in hell but what did it cost us to get him? A war in Afghanistan that’s lasted about 9.5 years longer than it should have?

I think if you read the article the “pride” is partly sarcasm. Yes there is pride but he’s mocking the quick turnaround of hard leftists that are now suddenly pro-militaristic.

Thank you—i missed that...sarcasm goes a long way, but still no substitute for victory...

I thought the same thing at first too that the author was really giddy.

I absolutely agree there is no substitute for victory, especially in this case.

My gut on this whole thing is that I’m bummed it didn’t happen before 0bama took office. Sure, I’m glad OBL is out of commision, but that it will go down as 0’s win pretty much makes me ill. I am really having trouble getting excited about it and am not connecting with the spontaneous celebrations at all. Seeing a picture of all those anti-war Democrats sitting in a situation room...I see little thought bubbles over their heads; “we have to do this, it will be great for our poll numbers.”
