"If other nations assert the same right, then the rule of law will quickly be replaced by the reign of fear," and any nation that percieves itself threatened would feel justified in starting wars, he said.

"I before E except after C . ." etc.

Gore the spelling champ!

The Republic is teetering on the brink if it takes a defeated Presidential candidate to point out the obvious.

Are the Republicans asleep at the switch or what? Where's the 21st Century versions of Carl Curtis, William Knowland, Margaret Chase Smith, Everett McKinley Dirksen and that great Congressman from Ohio, John Ashbrook, to speak common sense to the American people -- since they won't likely be hearing any from either the White House or the defeated Democrats.

Its disturbing to realize just how closely we came to electing this guy. If just a few more felons or foreign nationals had been counted, we would be listening to this guy 7 days a week.

God protected us, God gave us one last chance. If we don’t get this right, we have seen the future and it is not pretty.

He's complaining that "Bush is tanking the market" with his "war talk."

Well . . why would anyone think what the President says has any bearing on Wall Street? Do you think investors even care about whether companies they own may end up burned to a crisp or seized by a hostile government or prohibited from selling their products worldwide or lose key employees due to the vagaries of a mere WAR?

Investors need to get a good shot of patriotism like exists here on Free Republic and stop the bellyachin'.

Also Monday, former President Carter criticized Bush's stance on Iraq

Since the Rats want the spotlight, let's give them one.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/755554/posts

Some excerpts from:

Institute of Policy Studies/American Intelligence

... why US intelligence has failed so badly in dealing with Middle Eastern terrorists. The answer lies in Congress. To be more specific, Democratic Congressmen who went out of their way to cripple America’s intelligence agencies. In this endeavour they had the aid and encouragement of the Washington-based Institute of Policy Studies (IPS). An extreme leftwing organisation that has not only supported every communist regime that ever existed but every leftwing terrorists organisation, specially the PLO.

For years the IPS waged a successful campaign of vilification against America’s intelligence agencies, even as it was cooperating with the KGB, Castro’s DGI and other communist intelligence agencies. Thanks to this campaign and the policy of exposing CIA operatives, one of whom was murdered, the CIA’s international network of contacts was badly compromised with foreign contacts cutting off communications from fear of being exposed.

In 1975 the CNSS (Center for National Securities Studies) — an IPS front — produced Abuses of the Intelligence Agencies a brazen piece of disinformation which influenced the Church and Pike committees that had been set up to investigate American intelligence agencies. This was no surprise considering that not only were KGB agents Wilfred Burchett and Philip Agee mainly responsible for the contents of the publication but both committees, especially the Church committee, had a significant number of sympathisers and members of the IPS on their staffs. When Carter became president in 1977 he appointed IPS sympathisers to the White House staff who were virtually given carte blanche to dismantle the America’s intelligence structure, which is just what they did.

Without the activities of the IPS the 1974 Hughes-Ryan Act would never have come into existence. This pernicious piece of legislation crippled intelligence operations by guaranteeing they would be leaked to America’s enemies. Which of course was what really lay behind the Act. There are two common threads here: a) those who took measures to cripple intelligence gathering were all Democrats; b) they were all connected by one means or another to the pro-Soviet IPS.

Opposition to the Intelligence Agents Identities Protection Act consisted entirely of hardcore Democrats like Pat Schroeder, Charles Schumer and John Conyers. The Act had been designed to protect the lives of American agents by preventing anyone from revealing their identities. Needless to say, opponents of the Act were all associated with the IPA.

Now, any more Demoncrats want to weigh in?

Gore hoists the white flag and surrenders America's safety to the international consensus. Still Sore and still a Loserman.

"At the depths of that dusty soul there is nothing but abject surrender."

The guy I mentioned is not bellyaching because he's an investory, although that's part of it. He's moaning because he's a Dem puke!

Here's a post that I lifted off of DU. Man, those folks are stupid! MAXIMUS! MAXIMUS! MAXIMUS! MAXIMUS! MAXIMUS!

I re-watched the epic film, "Gladiator", and I can't help but be reminded of how Gore's path to the White House mirrors Russell Crowe's Maximus' path back to Rome.

ROFL I can't believe they seriously compared Gore to Maximus. If anything Gore should be the sniveling coward Commodus. Bush is Maximus. Bush already has already won the crowd.

I heard that clip about Jesse James and the need to form a posse. I immediately thought about the movie "High Noon", where all the potential posse members chicken out leaving the marshal (Gary Cooper) to face the outlaws alone, against the wishes of his new bride (Grace Kelly?). A first class morality play about how a community (or nation) gets what it deserves when it doesn't stand up for good in the face of evil. Very much applicable to today's international geo-political situation.

This right here graphically shows why Gore has no business being president. Hell, I wouldn't vote for him if he was running for dogcatcher. He is blatantly incompetent in every way possible. His foreign policy "experience" that the liberals laud consists of him selling out America for personal gain while paying lip service to peace. Hijacked airplanes crashing into American buildings is the kind of peace that Gore and his disgusting liberal supporters have brought us.

Gore: go crawl back in your hole. It's the only way that you could ever be remotely useful.

No, having Al Gore as President would make the world more dangerous. Thank goodness he's not in there!

Al Gore belongs in a psychiatric ward.
