That's what I call compassionate conservatism vs Hollywood's indifferent liberalism.

Scratch a liberal, find a misanthrope. Maybe this guy is starting to get it a little bit.

These lefties care more about the cretins on death row in the USA than anything else. Explains a lot when you look at their actions.

Allow me to respond: How could you? How could you be so cowardly? How can you portray yourselves as the champions of human rights yet lack the courage to do anything about it? Are you so afraid of conflict that you lack the conviction to stand before the world and denounce evil even when it exists in its most pure form? Do you not see the torture and heartbreak of a nation in despair? Do you care? Can you not put party politics aside and support our president in this unified struggle for freedom? Sadly, Mr. Shapiro, both you and I know the answers to your poignant questions, by the deeds of those your questions are directed at.

A moving article. Shame on you dems and so called peace lovers.

With a name like Shapiro, the writer is most likely Jewish. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that the Rats are anti-Jewish and pro-terrorist. Just look at their support for Yassir Arafat. As the Rats continue to alienate Jews, expect them to bolt the party. And black America will be right on their heels.

Someday we're going to take the focus off Florida and dig into the Democrat vote-stealing in other states. The Clintons had eight years to rig that election and did a helluva job. Small wonder they were so sure they'd win -- and so furious when they didn't. By one account, the stolen votes may have been up near six million and bagged them five or six senate seats. I hope we dig out the truth.

Well, then, that makes this guy a TRUE "evil" neoconservative, doesn't it? He'd better hire a personal security guard, for the libs will be out to get their traitors.

Its a beautiful thing to witness a Liberal opening his/her eyes.
Its happened to many of us here on the FR.

It happened to me, and then later to my wife. Our eyes were opened by Bill Clinton, Rush Limbaugh, my dad, and a friend who was a conservative. During political arguments, I found that I couldn't justify my positions, logically. Ever. I can't believe I was ever a liberal. Mostly, I attribute my past liberalism to ignorance. I thought the Democrat party was the party of freedom. What a fool I was.

Been there. It was the indoctrination of the California public schools in my case. Fortunately, I fell in love with Ronald Reagan and there was no turning back!

Mostly, I attribute my past liberalism to ignorance. That's why so many protesting liberals out on the street are high school and college students. They really don't know any better. I applaud their enthusiastic involvement, although I often abhor their positions. Most will get smarter, though. The remainder will probably end up in Hollywood.

A poignant account of why thousands of former liberals like myself have left the D party because of the majority's complicity in supporting the anti-American "Peace" movement.
The definitive moment for me was Dachele's outrageous comment- "I am saddened that the failed deplomacy of our president has caused us to go to war".

Do you care? Can you not put party politics aside and support our president in this unified struggle for freedom?NO, their quest for power comes above all else. They would kill their mothers to gain power. Even Clintoon is out bashing BUSH for cheap political gain(which will backfire on him), while Americans are still dying in Iraq. The entire liberal world has been Clintoonized, it will take years(if ever) for them to regain any validity. Just listen to them(if you can), they are all about HATRED pure and simple.

WOW - I am sending that post to every liberal I know. I couldn't have said it better myself. It is refreshing to see a liberal get past the Bush-bashing and see things for what they really are.

This needs to be called out...
"Like President Lincoln before him, one man put the cause of freedom above himself and his political career. One man chose to liberate the people of Iraq when the world condemned him for it. One man initiated the next frontier of the American Revolution because he knew that revolution will not be over until every human being on this planet is free."
