I know that bloggers like to write inflammatory statements to spur readership. And I know that it is easy to generalize; "all liberals are weak; all conservatives are heartless. But
this pisses me off.We’re at war. We’re at war with the most inhumane, subhuman enemy we’ve ever faced.
This is a fact Conservatives grasp and liberals don't. 9/11 is but a time of horror to be forgotten, a law enforcement matter that should be handled as such. The primary goal of the American left is the downfall of the Bush Administration and they've placed this above national security.
I beg your pardon, Adam. I think that Jack Murtha and John Kerry, who have actually gone to war, have a much better understanding that we're at "war" than the chickenhawks such as Rove and Cheney who have never served in the military. What's really disgusting is that they are willing to keep killing our troops for just for political purposes.
Stay The Course they bark, which is parroted by chickenhawks like Limbaugh and O'Reily, two more who haven't served and have no family member in the fight. "Stay The Course. Cut And Run. Squawk. Stay The Course. Cut And Run. Squawk."
It is precisely because progressives understand the terrible cost of war, and because they actually care about humans and families and not just corporations and rich people that progressives are seeking solutions to the Iraq problem. "Stay The Course. Let 'em Die. Don't Look For Alternatives. Squawk!"
I'm a liberal. I think I have a pretty good understanding of our enemy in Iraq. I attended days of training to understand Iraqis. I went on mounted and dismounted patrols throught cities and the countryside. I talked with Iraqis, Iraqi soldiers, Iraqi policemen, shared Chai and meal with sheiks and families. I'm pretty sure that experience gives me some understanding of the situation, certainly more so than a chickenhawk or a fighting keyboardist.
Adam says "The primary goal of the American left is the downfall of the Bush Administration and they've placed this above national security." Probably the former, not the latter. However, it is irrefragable that the right's primary goal is to perpetuate GOP power and it is clearly willing to place that goal above national security. "Stay The Course. Let 'em Die. Don't Look For Alternatives. Squawk!"
