The man who loves other countries as much as his own stands on a level with the man who loves other women as much as he loves his own wife.
There can be no fifty-fifty Americanism in this country. There is room here for only 100% Americanism, only for those who are Americans and nothing else.
When they call the roll in the Senate, the Senators do not know whether to answer "Present" or "Not guilty."

“Most people have a very strong opinion about the war.”
I believe that those that still care about the war in Iraq on either side (pro or con) hold very strong opinions.
How could someone not have a strong opinion about the War?!
“How could someone not have a strong opinion about the War?!”
Easy. This is America. Unless someting affects “me” personally, it really doesn’t matter a whole lot. One thing that is affecting ALL Americans every day now is the high price of fuel and food. A war half a world away that most of them have no loved one personally serving in? Doesn’t make the top of the list anymore. In my opinion, it probably should, but we are a very selfish people in a lot of ways and the only thing that matters is what directly affects “my” life.
Unless you are serving, have served (in Iraq) or have a loved one who is/has the war doesn’t really mean much.
I should have phrased the question differently:
How can any non-Moron not care about the War?
My point exactly.
So you bought Obama. That sells out our military. McCain has pledged to put up judges like Alito. He favors drilling now. Let’s not get hung up on ANWR when there are more places to drill. Kindof the “don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater.”

Unfortunately for our nation, a heck of a lot of those morons vote.
