"...Now our former comrades-in-arms consider us to be traitors,
because we refuse to accept what our leaders tell us.
When did it become a crime to question the actions of our politicians?
We can't even criticize the slanted news coverage
without being reminded that "we are at war."
Sorry, people.
There is no Declaration of War.
Bob Barr asked for one.
His fellow Congressmen didn't see any reason
to bother with that quaint requirement.

It didn't.
In fact, if / when you stop,
you become just another drooling,
CNN-worshipping a**hole.

Just understand that there may be other ways
of looking at the actions of a President......
a decent, Christian man..... at war..."

RightOnline, we are not at war.

Our leaders told us that we were at "war with terrorists."
But when Congressman Bob Barr asked for a Declaration of War,
as required by the Constitution,
the House as a whole refused to vote the question.

I don't care what kind of man Bush is.
He's asking me to give up my freedom for an un-declared war
against an enemy that CAN NOT be conquered.

"RightOnline, we are not at war."

Look at the results of 9/11 and tell me this.

We ARE at war, exodus, whether you choose to accept it or not. Unlike some, I don't need an act of Congress to tell me that there are those who choose to attack us, destroy us, kill us. If that's what you're waiting for...........a "formal" declaration of war...........then you're waiting in the ticket line once the game has already started and the stadium's full.

"...against an enemy that CAN NOT be conquered."

Who said anything about "conquering" anybody?? This isn't about "conquering", exodus. It's about kicking their sorry asses. It's about justice; it's about revenge; it's about victory............it's about winning. There IS a difference.

....and don't pretend to tell me that we can't "win" this. That's patent nonsense.

You don't seem to understand nor in any way acknowledge the above. You'd better, because this is the reality in which we find ourselves........you included.
