This kind of schoolyard morality is what got us into that mess in the first place. Unfortunately they did die for nothing. I'm guessing that, to you, that will sound like an insult to the troops, which of course it isn't. I have the deepest respect for the people who sign up to risk their very lives to protect me and mine. That's why it pisses me off when we send them off on foolish, no-win missions.
Lots of them are beginning to realize it too. The amount of donations from military people supporting Ron Paul's campaign is perhaps the most honest appraisal of what the troops think of the war.(he's received more than any candidate, Democrat or Republican) Money talks. They're living through the direct repercussions of our leader's ignorance and hubris.

"This kind of schoolyard morality is what got us into that mess in the first place." hehehe I think it is funny how Dem/Libs always worry about how people feel and then when called on a point, instead of talking about the subject, they have to resort to name calling. schoolyard, give me a break. "Schoolyard morality" didnt start this, the terrorist did on 9/11.
You tell me when and where, and I want to see you tell that to a soldier. Why is this war a "no-win"?. Do you think George Washington said that during the Revolution? Do you think Patton said that during WWII, to defeat Hitler who didnt bomb us by the way! We are providing Iraq with such simple things as running water, by helping build water plants that your poor Saddam(govt.) didnt want to turn on. They now have free news(God help them)which Saddam(govt.) didnt allow
To quote from the Dems/Libs favorite front man. "Ask not what your country can DO FOR YOU, Ask what YOU CAN DO for your country"
Which is the opposite of what DEM/Libs want. They want more goverment(Saddam) in our lives as much as they can.
Well if you want the country to take care of you(what your country can do for you) then go live in China/Russia(hell pick one they all want to come here) and see how you like it?
If a country is starving , who does the world look to, to stop it. USA! If a country is flooded by a tidewave what country does the world look to, to stop it. USA! If we did nothing, wow
If Saddam takes over a country and burns the oil fields who does the world look to, to stop it. USA
Saddam was asked many times by both Bush/CLINTON/Bush to stop doing what he was doing and he didnt listen. But then 9/11 comes and kills 4000 Americans and we are suppose to worry about "schoolyard morality" ????
Tell that to a Peal Harbor vet or a family member of 9/11 and see what happens. I guess the terrorist had a "schoolyard morality"
What kind of "morality" did they have?
This country is not perfect. But I can think of no other place in the world to be so proud of.

I've resisted the idea that this should matter at all for a long time. But I think that presidents can fill a valuable role as a 'spokesperson' for their country. Not only when representing us to the rest of the world, but in being able inspire the nation.
By some accounts, JFK wasn't much of a president. But he'll remain one of the most beloved presidents because he had the ability to make the nation feel good about itself - something we desperately need after the last seven years. That's why, regardless of the fact that I disagree with his political ideology almost 100%, I'm thinking Obama could be a decent president, at least better than Clinton or McCain.

This country doesnt feel good about itself?? Why cause we "choose to feel bad" (like Bush had everything to do with that, forgot about 9/11, huh)about this country? I still fly my flag everyday. I love this country. If you say Iraq makes us feel bad, I disagree. We are doing good things in Iraq, the media "chooses" to show it as a bad place. yea, war is hell, I agree. But compaired to what they had before, it is a lot better. They have something they have never had before, which we take forgranted, Freedom.
If we dont stand our ground in Iraq, then all the troops who died, died for nothing. you can say what you want(but then again this is America) but those troops over there dont feel bad about this country and neither do I.
I couldn't agree with you more Tholo. I guess Americans just love negativity. I don't know where it all comes from, but I think the 24 hour news cycle has definitely made things worse. Being bombarded with negativity 24 hours a day seems to get to a lot of people. We are living in one of the most hopeful ,prosperous, and just times in American history and over 50% of the population thinks things are going to hell. I just don't see it, even though the media and many here try to point it out to me every day.
Thank you , I thought I was all alone in the Verse. It's good to find someone from the same battalion.

I see the rightwingnuts have dug up their own brand of PN...
Sadly, there's nothing I can say to make that rant look even one whit dumber than it already is... I hate it when they do my job for me, really I do.
Btw - Conyers is pitching a hissy about being unable to use his phone or fax for all the people bitching his wimpy ass out: keep it up.

It really scares the shit out of me that the only thing keeping a Muslim out of office of the President of the United states is the possible racism showing itself at the polls in November and the only possible outcome of a win over Obama would be McCain and Big Brother right behind him. And at least 8 more years of this pointless war....
R.I.P. Freedom, either way....
I take no solace in the fact that Obama speaks well and looks good in a suit.

You can't simply dismiss Obama so casually. Right now, he is becoming the Messiah for many in America. He is not giving many specifics now, and that is probably political genius. His first job is to get Hillary out of the way, then he'll take on McCain. But he is filling arenas with 20,000 young white middle-class voters, he's raising a million a day or more. He is delivering a message of "hope", and a lot of people either need that now, or are willing to elect a man on "faith". Faith that all will play out for the good. If he becomes President he will meet with his NSA, and Joint Chiefs, and Sec of Defense...he will see and hopefully understand the threats our country and friends face every day...he 'aint gonna be the same Obama as he is during the campaign...he'll become a President, and hopefully a good one. If my taxes go up $ 20 a week, and down the line Gay marriage becomes law of the land, I see that (for me) as a small price to pay if this man can restore America's greatness and respect in the world. I'm surprised at you 6ixstring..all you ever seem to do is bitch, and whine, and complain, and go woe is me. I would think that you would give the guy a chance. Those here that know my posts know that I'm a Republican most of my life, but I cannot vote for McCain. I am sick of the political fighting, and all the bitter hatred that Bush brought down on Americans through the media. We need some healing and bi-partisonship progress in this country. I will "suspend" my dis-belief and support Obama if he's the nominee. I don't wanna go thru another 16 years of personal attacks and hatred and petty political bullshit that has dominated the landscape through the Clinton / Bush years. If I can put faith in Obama, anybody can.

He's not a Muslim.
Perhaps its racist to think that a man's name, color, and pre-school determine his faith for life.
He claims to be a Christian, he was raised Christian, he attends a Christian church. Huckabee makes the same claims...are you saying Huckabee is a Muslim?

I'm kinda not getting where people are getting this whole "Obama is a wimp" thing and how it pertains to much of anything.
Bush ran as a wimp in 2000.
Clinton ran on virtually the same message as Obama.
Neither man has proven to be afraid to murder foreigners.
Is it just post-9/11 dementia that demands that anyone running for President growl at the microphone or risk being proclaimed unfit to rule--erm, ahem, I mean, serve? Isn't that just a different version of "schoolyard morality?"

Hey, hey, hey, don't be mean. We don't have to be mean, because, remember, no matter where you go, there you are.

And what happens when the US gives and gives and gives? They get criticized by the world that they didn't give ENOUGH.
This country is not the world's policeman.
