The book was one long rant from some guy getting off on his own self righteous "ashamed to have white privilege" identity. I had as of yet to delve into the way liberals think, but I knew something didn't feel right about his book. It was the beginning of my quest to figure out why liberals are the way they are. Why is our national security not an imminent problem, but "global warming" is? Why should we dump money into gay rights, when gays are more celebrated than our troops? Why are the very same pro abortion people calling our troops "baby killers?" Why do they believe in "government conspiracies", yet trust the government can do a better job with healthcare? Since when did the term "capitalism" go from signifying free trade and consumer choice, to "corporate greed?" Yea, I guess something is slightly flawed with their whole line of logic, if you can even call it that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041404668013008872.post-46841985889630560062008-05-18T04:43:00.000-07:002008-05-18T04:43:00.000-07:00One thing i'd like to propose is that, alright let...One thing i'd like to propose is that, alright let B. Hussein Obama have his chat with Kim and Ahmad and sip tea and waffle about fabrics. If their chats and kumbaya sessions do not work, then we get to whip the skin off their bums. I have a feeling there won't be many takers for these policies they insist will work under my conditions.<BR/><BR/>I agree 100% Roger, it's foolish to pursue stupid policy that has failed in the past, and it costs lives. I don't know for sure what it is, perhaps it's a mental problem these idiots have.<BR/><BR/>I am working my way through a book about the old Roman days and apparently they sometimes used to hold large banquets for people they didn't really like and if there was advantage in it, they would slaughter the lot of them. Perhaps sending Ahmad back to Iran with a baked apple in his mouth might send a clear message. Perhaps too obvious, how about a freak accident on his return trip, no?MathewKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14385674205383405783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041404668013008872.post-52083160893167516482008-05-17T15:48:00.000-07:002008-05-17T15:48:00.000-07:00Hello again Johnson and thank you.

Of course it fails, but then another branch of government or society is blamed.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I have no idea where this comment is from:<BR/><BR/><I><BR/>We Warriors despise - loathe - diplomats because we fight the wars they start while they sit back and bitch about how we fight the wars they start.<BR/></I><BR/><BR/>I know many patriotic members of the foreign service who manage the relationships that don't require war. And most of them don't have illusions about the tough stance we have to take against evil countries. Anyway, if we only listened to the state department, then the US wouldn't be stuck in the Iraq disaster and there would be no Taliban resurgence in Afghanistan or Iranian resurgence in the Middle East or sky high oil prices.Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06585635503423590842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041404668013008872.post-87577281823004605092008-05-17T11:23:00.000-07:002008-05-17T11:23:00.000-07:00Thank you Jungle Mom for your exemplary life.Thank you Jungle Mom for your exemplary life.Roger W.

I must admit to a bit of jealosy for you higher-than-artful tact. As I've written above; "noble".<BR/>Now I'm going to enter a notion (Snooper, fellow HUMINT'er, hold a second.).<BR/>Many of us, who challenge those we call 'Liberals' keep getting hammered as though we're driven by some form of atavistic blood-lust.<BR/>I maintain that from its first battle at Lexington and Concord, America is fundamentally 'Liberal'. It has fallen upon us, we who are the disdained 'Conservatives', to ensure that.<BR/>It is the group that are "Warriors" (Snooper, your family, others who cammpaign in uniform, word and speech, my family members (brother and sister who served in uniform..(and if I may humbly suggest myself), who keep these ideals fresh.<BR/>Leftist contagion has affected 'Liberals' as any predatory disease effects illness upon those who overindulge. The idea that a "spoonful of sugar" will make the medicine go down doesn't cut it when we recall embassy takeovers, barracks bombing, subversive infiltration and 'machtlust' of Iran, Venezuela, North Korea, Russia and their sympathizers right here in our city councils, state legilatures and Congress.David Barry O'Connorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08331007985962351381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041404668013008872.post-63040357843468314072008-05-17T08:21:00.000-07:002008-05-17T08:21:00.000-07:00To Norm - re:iron sales to Japan.

I believe the ship laid in the harbor for the duration of the war but what do I know, I was just a kid. But what I do know is that scrap iron was being sold to the Japanese right up to the start of the war. So we were selling and they were shelling...this was all part of the trade agreements of the time only the bureaucrats in Washington (mostly Democrats) had no clue that the Japanese needed metal for the manufacture of shell casings.<BR/>I say all this because the selling of scrap metal was all done with diplomats talking...and talking, and talking...just like Obama...then they shot us in the back (Pearl Harbor).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041404668013008872.post-29634509453682491532008-05-16T20:30:00.000-07:002008-05-16T20:30:00.000-07:00You hit it dead on.
