Gents, you may want to come and peruse this little rant.
brilliant!
You are worthless to the cause of freedom.
Welcome to FreeRepublic.
That is a good question, deserving of serious consideration. Photographs would be helpful.
"We live in a great and free country only because our forefathers were willing to wage war rather than accept the peace that spells destruction." --Teddy Roosevelt
We did indeed acknowledge him and work with him at the time of the Iranian hostage taking, even the original Iraqi monarchy recognized him when he started.
But your response above points out the problems with the article...it uses hyperbole and you respond resonably thereby looking more realistic and reasonable. The truth of the article is deminished by things such as the use of the word "traitor". Thoughtfull conservatives recall that the Constitution specifically reserved "Treason" to exact specifics so that its broad charge could not be used as the English had used it, do blanket their political foes, and this is the weakness of the article.
However, the motives, nature, sources and organizing of the leftist opposition is no less real due to the overwrought language. Be careful who you associate yourself with as you will find that "reasonableness" put to good use as all the "useful idiots" have since the days of Lenin and Stalin.
Let me guess. On a tee shirt?

Welcome to FR.
We have to hear (& see) her further response.
And, yes, America has its problems. MANY problems. That is why this website came into being. The biggest problem is that many millions of people in this country are only getting news from certain biased sources - sources with an agenda. And that agenda is NOT Freedom! It is just the opposite, no matter what beautiful words are used to cover over the loathing of God-given freedom held in the hearts of those behind the propaganda (lies).
For instance, Bill and Hillary Clinton believe that "all this radical freedom" in America is a bad thing. A dangerous thing. That is because, behind their lovely rhetoric, are hearts sold out to Marxism, the most anti-freedom worldview in the history of mankind.
Those who tell you "free healthcare" is your right want you to be standing in line for your limited healthcare treatment while they and the other privileged elite (like Saddam's former elites in Iraq, and like the Communist Party's elite in the old evil Soviet Union) are given every top quality health treatment, food, jobs possible.
The unfortunate thing to discover is that one reason you have such horrible pay and are scraping by financially is because those you think are your 'friends' in government are actually robbing you blind. It is not Republicans who want to take half your hard earned pay to use for their power promoting projects. It is not Republicans who want to force you to have substandard healthcare while their party members (Unions, Federal Workers) have unmatched healthcare for life that YOU are forced to pay for with your hard earned tax dollars. It is not the Republicans who are constantly stopping all efforts to reduce your taxes and enable you to keep more of your hard earned money. It is not Republicans who fear freedom and independence. It is YOUR (wrongly supported) heroes on the left who want you a slave. They don't care one whit for you or your child in reality. They ONLY WANT YOUR MONEY FROM YOUR TAXES SO THEY CAN STAY IN POWER. POWER IS ALL THEY CARE ABOUT AND THEY WILL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO ACHIEVE THAT POWER.
It is no mere coincidence that the people you support are tied philosophically to Saddam Hussein (Baath Socialist Party), to Stalin (Communist Workers' Party), to Hitler (Nazi = National SOCIALIST Party), Mao (People's Republic ha ha ha), etc. It is no mere coincidence that the people you think will make your life easier are really intent on enslaving you and your child unless you morphe into one of their party elites. Then you might wind up with the best of the best - while the rest of America suffers in chains.
The reason the people you identify with are associated philosophically with the world's worst butcher dictators is that the philosophy you are supporting denies the real truths about man, about God, and about this earth (creation) that you supposedly cherish.
Here are the truths they (you) deny:
1. You as a human being were created by God in His image. His Son Jesus Christ died for you on a horrible cross taking your sins upon Himself so that you might enjoy eternal life with God.
2. God Created this world, and YOU, and your child, and longs for you to live in close fellowship with Him, but you may choose Him or reject Him according to your "free moral choice." God did not create puppets. YOU ARE TRULY FREE. All who cherish true freedom ARE ALIGNED WITH GOD. All who hate freedom are against HIM.
3. People who cherish this earth, and our natural resources, and all the beauty of God's creation also know that God gave us this world and all that is in it as a trust but also to be for OUR benefit. While we cherish all life, we know that not all life is equal. Plants and animals are given for mankind's benefit. Part of God's gift to us. We are to have "dominion" over these gifts. Yes, we are to use them wisely. But go into ANY MARXIST COUNTRY (home of the philosophy you cherish) and you will find these natural resources are squandered and the pollution, smog, and stench that comes with corrupting the beauty of the earth are OVERWHELMING. Yet, in the nations built on the historic Christian worldview have the cleanest air, water, and earth of all the civilizations in the world! That is also not a mere coincidence.
You need to become educated. You need to seek - and you will find - the truth about things.
Make a commitment to gather truth from other sources (like Free Republic) than you have been getting and you will, like so many other "former "liberals" here - be set free indeed!
