Theodore Roosevelt, 1918, during the First World War: "To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."

If the Senate and House lose out to the Democrats, they will impeach Bush. You are talking about money and others are talking about principles. Fighting Al Queda in Iraq is a noble fight that needs to be won on the grounds of security for both the middle east and America and for the protection of all cherished civilized values. To back down is both foolish and immoral. To back down because of money gives the enemy confidence that America's will is weak and that it really is a corrupt nation.

Iraq under Saddam had provided terrorists with safe haven, money, encouragement and training. Withdrawal now would mean the terrorists will have beaten the most powerful nation in the world and it would encourage their ambitions to establish an Imperial Caiphate ranging from Spain to the Philippines. Osama Bin Laden has already acted in the role of a statesman trying to affect world decisions. He has already conquered the hearts and mind of the Democrats and the MSM into indirectly supporting him. If you want to talk appeasement for mass murders then join Kerry's reelection bid.

If there is anything else to you... then stand up for America and the civilized world and fight the good fight.

Your discourse and argunment is pretty pathetic.......you never respond to anyone who debates you sensibly. You just keep repeating these poll tested DNC phrases that sound clever but have no meaning, and you never answer your critics, you just imply that anyone who criticizes you is unworthy of your lofty thoughts. You know nothing of the stakes of the conflict, and could care less that these savages would glady remove your head with a dull knife, and quite honestly, you and your DUmmy cut and run friends would be first in line for that....irony in the highest sense of the word.

So...I leave you with a quote....let's see if you can answer this quote, since you will have no idea who said it.....but believe me, the people being rightfully and correctly slammed is you and your cut, run, and cower DUmmy friends:

The tactics of al Qaeda and other Islamic extremists have been consistent for a quarter century: They hit us, and they expect us to run. The terrorists witnessed our response after the attacks on American troops in Beirut in 1983, and in Mogadishu in 1993, and they concluded that America can be made to run again -- only this time on a larger scale, with greater consequences. The terrorists are mistaken. America will never run. We will stand, we will fight, and we will win the war on terror.

Sometimes people name call because they get tired dealing with juvenile arguments.

Theodore Roosevelt, 1918, during the First World War: "To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."

LOL!

How does your response relate to my post? Of course the answer is that it doesn't.

I, having never put forth the argument that "there must be no criticism of the president", get another straw-man fallacy from you.
