Amen on Ridge.

Ridge is a good administrator and will do well at this job. But I have seen some of the most horrendous posts against him because he is not pro-life!

As for bombing, we have even had "so-called" conservative Congressmen calling for nukes. I for one am very thankful that our President is using diplomacy as his first weapon. I've been watching people slam him for not bombing someone...anyone...back to the stone age, and others complaining about him doing just that.

He is also rabidly anti-RKBA. I'm sure you've seen "horrendous" posts that point that out as well.....

People are reacting emotionally. Not thinking with their heads. A West Point friend of mine told me that this is a result of not many people these days having served in the military. I'm forced to agree, although I personally haven't served. I'm amazed at both types of posters here, those insisting on turning Afghanistan into a parking lot, and those, mainly Buchanan supporters and Libertarians, that seem to feel that somehow their personal liberty is the victim here.

It's causing me to question my affiliation with the Libertarian Party. I'll have no truck with people that put their personal freedom above the rights of the general populace to stay alive. This is war. They seem not to understand that. We did not start this war.

What's funny, is that they seem to want changes in our foreign policy as a result of these attacks, which is, in essence, exactly what bin Laden wants. I'll be damned if I let them talk me into that now, as a result of this.
