Point well taken! Many who "get on my case" and assume I'm a "Bush Basher" don't realize that I'm a die-hard sabre-rattler. I am a perfectionist and I'm in a hurry to fix this Republic; and it is one sick Republic. Politics is no place for me since I come out with guns blazing. There are some serious faults that need correcting. Why can't we voice concerns without the 'bots going balistic?
It took us long time to get where we are. I'm just as anxious to fix as anyone else, but we have to realize that we are going to have to hunker down for the long haul. And occasionaly accept a minor defeat or compromise without demanding that everyone fall on their swords. The libs understand incrementalism. We either learn how to fight them on those terms or we are going end up bitter and disapointed.
There is a lot of good advice on the subject at my bio page where I have book-marked Quotation threads from some of the great military and political thinkers of history. Check them out if you get a chance.
