At the 9/11 crossroads--Bush's actions caused more damage--Let us commit to nonviolence

"And yes, a not insignificant minority of Americans hold these views."

It is a minority of airheads.

After reading this I can only visualize a bunch of sheep being lead to the slaughter.........

Gee, and not doing anything between 1993 and 2001 was so successful at combatting terrorism!

The Capitol Times staff would hurriedly walk past a woman being raped by two felons rather than "resort" to the violence required to stop them.

That same staff would let an aircraft full of people be rammed into a skyscraper full of even more people, rather than dare to use "violence" to stop such a crime.

Thus, the Capitol Times staff is evil...infected with a brand of extreme pacifism that makes their very presence on Earth detrimental to civilization.

They are not leaders. They are not worthy of being called "men" or adults or citizens. They are, at best, animals...beasts who care not if harm comes to you or to your children.

What a CROCK! Here's my letter to the editor:

I am intrigued that in your attempt to make your case for non-violence,you start by painting an unduly pessismistic picture of the success of our efforts in the War on Terror. It suggests to me that what is presented as an idealistic hope is really a counsel of despair.

The facts, unpopular as they may be, are that since the 9-11 the frequency of terrorist acts on American Soil has declined greatly from the frequency of such events in the 1990's. The picture is far more hopeful than you portray it. And if you will attempt a "post hoc ergo propter hoc" argument in alleging that violence has provoked failure, I will use the same kind of reasoning to suggest that the controlled violence of our military response has not only caused considerable success in this country, but has caused our enemy to confine their barbaric brutality to sites far from the United States.

War and violence are indeed horrible. But they beat the heck out of defeat.

[plain talk]

The first editorial takes words and reverses their meaning. It is Bush that took a serious response and liberals that act cavalier about these terrorists. The liberals can try their soviet style projection tactics and some will fall for it. But I believe over time the liberals will lose by being on the wrong side of this. The terrorists will eventually attack again and will be viewed as fools on this issue. But we have to win minds on this issue.

A nearly identical analysis could be made of the entire Clinton Administration and all Liberals in general.

"Five years ago today, America found itself IN THE CROSSHAIRS."

There. All at fixed. ;)

I can't believe I breathe the same air as these purile scumbags. Think this has anything to do with the massive "Get Out The Vote" program this past week? They should call it 'Rallying the Moonbats,' which is what it really is. *Rolleyes* More proof of the MSM carrying water for the left.

That said, Ex-Governor Thompson called me today to remind me to vote tomorrow! I will, with RELISH!

P.S. As far as I know, WI only lost two civilians in 9/11. We've lost 58 service members so far, and the parents/husbands/wives/children have all been amazingly stoic about it. They "get it," so of course 'Das Kapital Times' and even the WI State Journal won't tell their stories. Yeesh!

As Walter Wink, professor emeritus of biblical interpretation at Auburn Theological Seminary, has written, "nonviolence was elaborated by Jainism and Buddhism, given political bite by Jews like the prophets and Jesus, (and) articulated by Christians like Saint Francis."

Hmmmmm. No mention of Islam in there, don't think the Mahatma would do so well as a nonviolent Dhimmi.

These people are sick. Afraid of their own shadow.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Pinging you to these Editorials to remind you of what we're up against in this county, this state, and across the nation.

Please! If you do nothing else constructive tomorrow, I'm BEGGING you to just get to the polls and vote!

We ARE the only line of defense against these aging, liberal hippy leftists. They will not go quietly.

Thank you! :)

"...beasts who care not if harm comes to you or to your children, as long as it doesn't come to them."

They are so afraid of their own human emotions that they would suppress the natural instincts of survival and lay
cowering in the grass waiting for death to pass them by.
That they want the rest of us to lay there with them is beyond my understanding.

[pankot]

Yes, idiots. Let's lay down oue guns and invite Bin Laden, Kim Jong Il, and Adahminejad into our country. Then you will have the peace you want--as in RIP.

[Ladysmith]

Keeper! Completely blew away the response I was going to make.

He'd better not look too closely at the Ganges.
