The sad, sad fact is that not enough Americans were killed on 9/11. It was not so overwhelmingly traumatic that we became 100% united and determined. That there could still be people out there who don't want to do what is necessary "because it's hard" boggles the mind. Obi-Wan is a very smart man (or woman).

Are you out of your mind? Go back to DU. One American killed was one too many.

Bush will win big. I cannot believe that Americans are

a. stupid
b. don't see throught the mediocrity of a KERRY/EDWARDS ticket.
c. America has never changed Presidents during a war.
d. Devine intervention brought Reagan and Margaret Thatcher into power at the same time. The people of Iraq and Afganiststan will not be forsaken. Freedom is on the uprise. Bush has inherited this legacy.

...It was not so overwhelmingly traumatic that we became 100% united and determined. ...

The attacks on September 11 awakened the sleeping patriotic masses...for awhile. The libs and other snakes slithered under their rocks to wait.

The libs feigned solidarity with us but time passed and the masses went back to work and their daily lives and the snakes crawled out and began their normal bashing of this country.

If you've seen or read the Lord of the Rings, you could picture the Dems and their MSM lackeys as Grima Wormtongue whispering in the ears of the once noble and powerful America.

We awoke briefly but Grima has returned to whisper more.

Perhaps. Apparently not enough Americans died that the large majority of Americans reacted with the necessary anger and resolve. What's even more galling is that the very city in which that happened tomorrow is going to vote 4:1 in favor of John Kerry and the appeasement crowd.

See the next post. I worded it poorly, but my point is that apparently, based on the reaction of 45% of the country, not enough Americans were killed. Understand the point? Tomorrow, the very city in which those people died is going to vote 4:1 to APPEASE the very people who did this.

Obi-Wan is smart.

With regards to the OBL tape, I noticed a number of not-too-involved barely awake politically type folks (who also vote)had the response of feeeeling it was somehow Bush's fault OBL was even alive.

Go figure.

No human tragedy is great enough for democrats to put the country first. They are as radical as the Islamics and happily awaited the 1000th military death, and danced over the next beheading to further their cause. They are as much the enemy as radical Islam, Bin Laden, and Chiraq. They have proven that not even the slaughter of children in Beslan will take their attention away from what is important to them; party power over their childrens lives.

Quinnipiac showing Bush ahead in Florida by 8 and Fox News showing Kerry ahead in the same state by 5...what the pundits forget is that the Quinnipiac is outside the margin of error (+/-3%) while Fox (which is a bad sample to begin with - it has Kerry leading the male vote by 2% - absurd) is well within the MOE (+/-3.7%) - and Gallup in it's original numbers had Bush ahead by 3 until it decided to "adjust" the undecideds by giving 90% of them to Kerry - the pollsters are being too cute by half to try to make their numbers come out to the assumed reality of election night......

Bill Whittle phrased it better than I ever could when he said this:

But what tortures me is the thought that this country is no longer capable of doing hard, dirty work -- that we have reached the point where nothing difficult is attainable because the cost is something less than free.

A FINAL THOUGHT BEFORE THE SHOW

What you should have said, is that for the second time, Democrats and their socialist rabble counterparts have politicized a war at the expense of unity and may very well damage the prosecution of the war by doing so.

They have eroded trust by our Allies in our foreign policy and damaged the morale of our fighting men and women.

IMO, the only thing we could have done to prevent it, would have been to previously demoted the democrat party to obsolescence and to have so demoralized their supporters so that their voices, their bile and their stupidity would never have surfaced, for fear of recognition and subsequent banishment from civilization.

But, we never put them away like we should have.

Changing the name of Operation Infinite Justice was a small error.

The thinking that permitted it to be changed is disordered in a major way.

We will learn the price of that thinking in only 24 hours.
