I like the piece, but I have to admit the first thing I thought was, I wish I had this guy's job. How many words long is that article, 125? I could have banged that out in five minutes.

Anyone who lived through Jimmy Carter's administration knows that passivity and military weakness doesn't promote harmony.

But how quickly they forget. A mere 12 years passed from the time Carter was flushed out of office until a far worse turd came floating in.

This time, let's make damn sure they remember. Government's number one duty is to provide national defense. Without security, little else matters.

I've been mongering for years...in fact, I mongered every major conflict we've had for the last 25 years. I was a monger before mongering was 'cool', back then we called it 'patriotism'. Yep, and we loved it. Those were the good ole days lol...

I know I'm a warmonger...my wife just told me so. She also said I'm not a good Christian. She thinks that we should retaliate but we should all act like we're sad about it. I called her a hypocrite. I'm sleeping on the couch tonight.

Does she feel sad about retaliating against you?

Words mean things.

Warmonger: One who advocates or attempts to stir up war.

Osama bin Laden is a warmonger. The US is not the party that tried to stir up a war. The war was brought to us, imposed on us, declared on us. We finally reached the point where we could no longer ignore it. We were slow to anger, but the time has come when we have no choice but to respond by taking the war back to those who perpetrated it in the first place.

They think bin Laden needs to somehow be reasoned with.

You know what makes America such a great place to live?
My answer is that if "they" the peaceniks are so convinced that Gangster Terrorists led by Osama Bin Laden, can be reasoned with... the peaceniks are free to go do just that! Have them get their boarding passes, send them to the caves and let them give it the old college try. These "Peaceniks" have no clue of what kind of man Osama is. He doesn't want to be reasoned with, he wants war! Not Peace. He is an evil and wicked man that needs to die. It is only wishful thinking that the peaceniks would go and give it a try, I realize that. But then, I unlike the peaceniks understand the reality and gravity of this situation we have found ourselves in, Thanks to Terrorists. To be a warmonger in the USA is today a good thing, your in good company. Finally, It is more important to fight for what is right, than to protest for peace.

I beg to differ. PC Political Correctness is an attempt to redefine cultural characteristics, aka Cultural Marxism, thus- Women's rights= Feminism, World Trade=Globalism, Family Planning=Abortion, Conservation=Environmentalism, etc, ad naseum. The only remedy is to re- re- define all things ON YOUR OWN TERMS, thus 'my words mean more than your words', and a dictionary becomes an anachronism.

Guess that makes me a nuclear warmonger. Fine. I'll wear that label proudly.

You are correct about that being the tactic of the left. However, I disagree that we should concede the principle and adopt their tactics. Like so many other battles with them, to do so would be to validate their approach. Then it merely becomes a battle to see who can be the most dishonest. Ultimately reason, logic, truth and reality are the casualties of such a battle -- and those are things that we dare not surrender.

I can't believe they think there's a peaceful way to deal with someone who hurls commercial airliners into city buildings.

There is but Neville Chamberlain found out how effective it is.

My personal opinion is that we have lost.
This war is a joke.
What are we blowing up over there? They have no army they have no hardware... They have some cell phones and 20 year old rusty gear.
I bet Bin Laden is bowling in Jersey City

They blow up and murder 6000 innocent civilians, and one of our main points I see is how careful we need to be in not "offending the Muslims" Even though WE WERE ATTACKED. What do we do? We drop Rice Krispies and granola bars in to the country that harbors terrorism. Where is GENERAL PATTON? Can you see F.D.R. at a Chinese Restaurant after Pearl Harbor

We need to show on TV, the mangeled body parts and corpses of the dead Americans not some weeping Muslim saying how some people give them dirty looks, and have been making them FEEEEEEL uneasy. There is much to be concerned with.

I agree, and LOL on the rice krispies and granola bars!!! However, I don't believe this war is a joke...it IS time to get a coaltion going and end TERROR (ie. terrorists) all together...WE CAN'T STOP PEOPLE FROM STRAPPING BOMBS TO THEIR STOMACHS AND WALKING INTO A MCDONALDS...

BUT WE CAN STOP JET AIRLINERS FROM GOING INTO THE TWO MOST IMPORTANT TOWERS IN THE WORLD...
