Dear rdb3

I read your repeated quotation. You really must think you said something unique.

You also should read #80. Its content speaks about having discussion, different points of view on the subject of the thread.

I venture that I am more conservative than you and I don't think my past history shows me to be, heaven forbid, a "liberal" or a "peacenik." These are your assumptions, and they are wrong. You talk tough, but you probably didn't serve a day in the military.

If we are to defend ourselves, and that is our sole right, then why was it suggested that NATO fly AWACS over our country? I think we can defend ourselves without calling upon outside agencies like NATO or the UN "to defend us." Frankly, I don't think the UN has done such a good job in the past in "keeping the peace,"even when we pay almost 40 percent of their debt, and I don't look to the UN to effectively fight the war on terrorism, despite the UN's attempt to give lip service to their ability to do so. For me, I say, "Get the US out of the UN and get the UN out of the US! The attack on America deserves more than some more promises of pieces of paper written by NGO's seated in the UN General Assembly. I prefer to follow the directions coming from the U.S. Congress.

I agree completely. I would also add that the President needs a declaration of war from Congress now. Going to war with Congress trying to hold the reins and cover their own treason by refusing to declare war simply guarantees more destruction of our form of government such as what the politicians did during the Vietnam war.

Ahhh, but the UN is another story. Anyone with an ounce of common sense knows that the UN is worthless, a point made over and over again on FR. And I concur with that position.

You venture that you are more conservative than I? Well, that's your opinion, but it's a tired philosophy and statement. That's akin to where I'm from and the blacker than thou philosophy. They both mean absolutely nothing.

I never served a day in the military? Ha! But since I can't convince you otherwise, then, whatever you say, dude.

I never said that what I wrote was unique, that's your summation, which is fine with me. But I don't make a distinction, which means you and your ilk are my sworn enemy, just like those damned leftwing, socialist, peaceniks, cause there isn't a damn bit of difference between you.

Got it? Good.
