Yes, so far. President Bush gets lots of points for no further attacks, when we could have normally expected them under a liberal administration, such as we regularly saw under Clinton. If we elect a liberal I fully expect further attacks on our soil, and soon. The terrorists are crazy but they aren't stupid. They know better (now) than to mess with this President.
Do we have fewer or greater number of potential terrorists in the country as a result of unchecked southern borders? Aiding the terrorists could be done by not doing enough too, FK.
There are a greater number, which is why I find President Bush's stance on the issue paradoxical. However, so far he has guessed right and we have been safe. I still give him great credit.
It's just satire, FK...you seem to find it objectionable when I use HER method, yet you find apology in hers.
No, I was just pointing out what appeared to me to be hypocrisy. I love good satire, so use it all you want. But then don't complain when others do. :)
FK: "IOW, you know you strongly dislike her, but you have no idea why. Hey, that kind of sounds like the Orthodox approach to faith itself!"
No that would be more like being Reformed and just saying "I have no clue, it was given to me."
Not at all. I know WHY I believe. The personal, rational God has changed my heart to have a personal, rational faith. He related to me on a personal level so that I could relate back to Him on a personal level. PLUS, He ordained that it would happen infallibly. I had nothing to do with it. I don't think you can say any of this.
FK: "Of course believers are going to sin from time to time, but that mindset does not RULE us. God does."
God rules our sinful minds? God causes us to sin? Oh, wait, I forgot, we are just robots...of course...mind control...
It is regrettable that you have no idea at all what I am talking about.
I'm not so sure. I think we will see a surge in activity throughout the middle east. Afghanistan will probably fall back into terrorist hands first. The big push then will be to destroy the stability in Pakistan and Iraq. Then the next big question will be can we have peace with the muslims if we withdraw our support for Israel.
The terrorists will probably be smart enough to recognize they are going to get everything they want if they leave us alone with a liberal Rat govt. in DC. We will retreat from trying to civilize the barbarians. We will withdraw from asserting our power and subordinate ourselves to global organizational approval, even if it's not in our national best interest.
A book I highly recommend is "America Alone" by Mark Steyn. It's an easy read, but very eye opening.
