The few whiners left standing (and burning up those internet wires), taking a page from your book and making themselves look like a whole lot more than what they are, the ones who pitch fits when they don't get their way and would (to borrow your most favorite phrase) throw their principle issues "under the bus" (gag me) and cross over were our weakest links and belong on your side of the fence. Good riddence and good luck with all that party loyalty you are inheriting. They will just end up going down with a sinking ship. Enjoy that cool drink and shady stump. I'm with you on this....Just Biden my time.

Ooooo nice side of the mouth slight
I'll give you kudos for that. So..let's begin shall we?
First, you state that I must be uneducated and narrow minded. Would it make a difference for you to know that I am a direct descendent of the very person that wrote Uncle Tom's Cabin? Would it make a difference for you to know I am married to a military veteran and neither one of us are very flag waving, apple pie and Chevrolet? Would it make a differnce for you to know that I happen to be very educated simply because I am not narrow minded?
It was stated in the very articles that I have read about the reasoning behind Gitmo, which I did read again to see if maybe I had missed something, that some prisoners expressed their wishes to die, not because of the conditions at Gitmo, but for jihad, etc. ok, then where are they supposed to go? Should they be given asylum in the US only to blow something else up? Their own countries don't want them back. Where is Obama going to put them?
I see your attacks as coming from someone who assumes that one who posts a differing opinion is wrong or narrow minded or whatever else you'd like to come up with. I am all up for a nice debate, but I believe if you want to talk about it you should not assume the other is ignorant because their beliefs are not similar to yours.
I believe that her having a son with boots on the ground...
qualifies her as the "resident expert" much more than you, Think liberal. Would it not? She is getting her information first hand. Where are you getting yours?
Why does she take it personally? You might want to put your brain in neutral and let compassion take over for a moment...it is not fatal. Then, I am thinking, you would not have asked such a silly question.
"It has nothing to do with the troops." Excuse me, WHAT??
There was suffering, starvation and death in Iraq long before we got there. At the hands of their "President." He still has a higher death toll of his own people than the casualities of this war from start to now. I personally would love to see the war footage, the Iraqi interviews, etc., on the cutting room floor at CNN...at MSNBC...at the networks. What never made it to the screen. What never made it past major news outlets' editors. Yep, I would LOVE to see that.
"Liberal thinker..." the difference appears to me to be, in you and that woman who posted about her son, is that she is honest and was not speaking from any political position and defending her son (and the military in general) from your attack. If her son was sending different pics and telling her that the war is not working, we should get out, etc., she would not be ignoring what he said and posting here to further a political agenda. She would most likely be posting what her son said and agreeing with you. Because her son is there, he has first-hand knowledge, and she believes him. On the other hand you, when presented with positive evidence from the horse's mouth, totally ignore and minimize it, as if in your world it does not matter. I do not want to think that positives do not matter in your world, but your posting does not give me that.
You basically chastize her for believing him and ridicule her for being patriotic. So basically you not only discarded the information, you had to shoot the messenger too.
Apparently when one becomes a "liberal thinker" one must abandon all compassion and the ability to think for one's self outside of any agenda. It starts in the brain and finds it's way out the mouth, but never even hesitates on its way past the heart. Sounds like a pretty desolate world to me. Which probably explains these posts.
Ooo. I'm quaking in my boots over here.

rubber boots
My son and I were looking for rubber boots for him to wear in the creek online because he wears a 16 and couldnt find any in the stores. We typed in Google rubber boots size 16 or something like that and the innocent enough looking links in no way prepared me for what was to come. I had no idea that there would be grown men wierd enough in this world to have rubber boot fettishes. HORRIBLE. My son was close to needing therapy!
Boot straps with no boots
The US is a country where if you work hard enough you won't be homeless. And you have my permission to have Canada be the greatest country in the world for awhile, but it is not a lot of fun, so good luck with that.
Yeah. I'm shaking in my boots here.
If the end is near and gloom and doom is just a heartbeat away, why then am I the one who is all laid back and you, dear, are the one with her drawers in an uproar?
I'd suggest you collect yourself, the sooner the better. You are in for a long, long haul.
Yeah. We're all quaking in our boots

And your hobby would be....hmmm... kissing O's boots?

Phil Donahue is the man. Had Bill O'Reilly shaking in his boots.nm
He makes good points and the only thing you get from his stance is that he doesn't want to fight the taliban, which is unfortunate for you NOT true.
Give a quote where he says the US should not fight the taliban.
