You Are NOT going to like LOSING!

YOU AREN'T GOING TO LIKE LOSING
President Bush did make a bad mistake in the war on terrorism. But the mistake was not his decision to go to war in Iraq .
Bush's mistake came in his belief that this country is the same one his father fought for in WWII. It is not. Back then, they had just come out of a vicious depression. The country was steeled by the hardship of that depression, but they still believed fervently in this country. They knew that the people had elected their leaders, so it was the people's duty to back those leaders
Therefore, when the war broke out the people came together, rallied behind, and stuck with their leaders, whether they had voted for them or not or whether the war was going badly or not. And war was just as distasteful and the anguish just as great then as it is today.
Often there were more casualties in one day in WWII than we have had in the entire Iraq war. But that did not matter. The people stuck with the President because it was their patriotic duty. Americans put aside their differences in WWII and worked together to win that war. Everyone from every strata of society, from young to old pitched in. Small children pulled little wagons around to gather scrap metal for the war effort. Grade school students saved their pennies to buy stamps for war bonds to help the effort. Men who were too old or medically 4F lied about their age or condition trying their best to join the military.
Women doubled their work to keep things going at home. Harsh rationing of everything from gasoline to soap, to butter was imposed, yet there was very little complaining.
You never heard prominent people on the radio belittling the President. Interestingly enough in those days there were no fat cat actors and entertainers who ran off to visit and fawn over dictators of hostile countries and complain to them about our President. Instead, they made upbeat films and entertained our troops to help the troops' morale. And a bunch even enlisted.
And imagine this: Teachers in schools actually started the day off with a pledge of allegiance, and with prayers for our country and our troops! Back then, no newspaper would have dared point out certain weak spots in our cities where bombs could be set off to cause the maximum damage. No newspaper would have dared complain about what we were doing to catch spies. A newspaper would have been laughed out of existence if it had complained that German or Japanese soldiers were being "tortured" by being forced to wear women's underwear, or subjected to interrogation by a woman, or being scared by a dog or did not have air conditioning.
There were a lot of things different back then. We were not subjected to a constant bombardment of pornography, perversion and promiscuity in movies or on radio. We did not have legions of crackheads, dope pushers and armed gangs roaming our streets.
No, President Bush did not make a mistake in his handling of terrorism. He made the mistake of believing that we still had the courage and fortitude of our fathers. He believed that this was still the country that our fathers fought so dearly to preserve. It is not the same country. It is now a cross between Sodom and Gomorra and the land of Oz. (We even have the wicked witch of the west as the new Speaker of the House of Representatives.) We did unite for a short while after 911, but our attitude changed when we found out that defending our country would require some sacrifices.
We are in great danger. The terrorist are fanatic Muslims. They believe that it is okay, even their duty, to kill anyone who will not convert to Islam. It has been estimated that about one third or over three hundred million Muslims are sympathetic to the terrorists cause...Hitler and Tojo combined did not have nearly that many potential recruits.
We either win it - or lose it - and you ain't gonna like losing.

Rumor and Inuendo / Fact vs. Fiction / Spin Vs. Reality

I have no faith in the news any more.
Not in CNN, not in CBS, NBC, ABC, The Courious Journal, the Times.. NOT IN ANY OF THEM.
Each and every News organization is using its own bias to report the news. It is hypocritical of any politician to say he is not going to be interviewed by CNN just because it is conservative when the other networks are NOT going to present the Conservative View.
We have a problem in this country. Labels.
Libs and NeoCons need to stop thinking of each other as such and start to understand that the whole truth must be told not partial truths. News media hold back things that do not promote the report they are making. How could we possibly EVER know anything is improving in Iraq, when every news organization EXCEPT FOX and CNN was against the war in Iraq from the start. Of course we are not going to see anything from them that is not going to make G.W. Bush look bad! How dumb are you.
Worse yet is the simple fact that this is playing directly into the hands of the Islamic Fundamentalists.
The media could end this war in 6 months.. Yes the media in this country is powerful enough to end this war sooner than later and to stop the deaths but it will not do that.
WHY? Because the media invested in NOT going into Iraq.
Because the media was against the war from the beginning, chastising Democrats that voted for the war. Hillary Clinton will NOT be elected President because she went against the media in authorizing this war. Barrak Obamma MIGHT win. Why? Because he was against this war from the beginning. Look at the coverages. Obamma was a State Legislator in 2004. NOW due to a quirk in election laws he is a Senator from Illinois.
We are not getting the truth from the media.
CNN slants its news to support the war, Fox does too.
The other networks slant it the other way..
My feeling is that no matter whether we should or should not have gone into Iraq is irrelevant and became irrelevant when Al Queda showed up in Iraq. We can debate the invasion to death, but the reality is that Al Queda wants to destroy the world we live in. They are the enemy.
Al Queda is willing to unleash any and all methods of destruction to meet its goal of world domination and if the world only has 2 true believers when it is over then that is fine with them. They will have gone to heaven and been given their 70 Virgins in return for dying in Jihad.
You can call me a NeoCon, you can call me a Liberal but this is a FACT.
Al Queda wants Anarchy. The destruction of the world's economy, and the destruction of government as a whole.
This would make them the only hope left.
Like Hitler sold his bill of goods to Good German People .. Ossama Bin Laden is selling his bill of goods to the Islamic world.
It has begun to get old and stale to non fundamentalists.
Sunni's are banding together to toss out Al Queda.
Shi Ites are starting to do the same.
(Of course I am depending on what the President said and not the media here)
WE CAN WIN.. We can do it quickly and with fewer deaths.. but the MEDIA has to convince the people. The "Hearts and Minds" of America must be in this. We need to donate money and material to help Iraq become a free nation. We must rebuild it with the same fervor that we donated money after the Tsuanami.
A Rebuilt Iraq, in the center of the Arab world would become an Economic Steam Engine. Attracting business, investment, and other Arabs looking for a better life.
We can do this.. but the media must do a 180 and help.
We know this will not happen and in the end, if Mr. Bush Caves in to the polls and the traitors among us we will have anarchy in our time.
The major networks and news media have said from the beginning that this war against this dictator was not worth the price of American lives..
What does Ossama Bin Laden Preach? That Americans will not sacrifice life for principal. We will when confronted with death and destruction run.
To that end the Press in this country is aiding and abetting Ossama Bin Laden.
Shame on all media for NOT reporting all aspects of the war.
Do you really believe that in 30 minutes you can get all the news good and bad from Bagdad on the Nightly News .. and don't forget they have to do the sports and weather too. The Truth is Al Queda wants YOU and I DEAD..... and they will try to achieve it through any means necessary.
Thats my take on things...

Seperation of Church and State...

From Emelpe: Anything less is in violation of the first amendment to the Constitution which mandates separation of church and state.

YOU need to reread the Constitution. It does not mandate seperation of church and state. Here is what it says: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Establishment of Religion.. a church. NOT A Faith. It is based on the Church of England taking over and ruling England. NO CHURCH will be recognized.. it says no where in the Constitution that there is a Seperation FROM the Christian Faith. Our Laws, our constitution and our existence is due to our belief in God. We are in fact a Christian Nation which allows any faith to practice here within the Christian Ideal.. ( Meaning they do not do human sacrifice or commit crimes in their faith against Christian Peoples.)

Now if you want to interpret it another way go ahead, but NO WHERE does it say there is a Seperation of Faith and Government.. ONLY that Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion. NO SPECIFIC RELIGION will be recognized as that of the people.. Religion: Catholic Religion / Protestant Religion / Anglican Religion... NOT FAITH.
THERE is no mandate in the Constitution to stop Christianity... ONLY the recognition of one against the other.

Sorry Emelpe.. it just is not going to fly.

Losses in Iraq can be tied to Democratic Defeatism.

Yes, I know you will not like this..
Yes, I know you will deny this..
The sad part is that what I am about to say is proven by the Terrorists themselves.
We are losing men in Iraq directly because of Democratic congressmen like Mr. Ried and Senator Kennedy. The terrorists depend on the actions of these men to help them to divide this country and to win in Iraq. Each and every time we make headway in Iraq, the terrorists attack and kill more people. Iran has joined the attempt to direct American Public Opinion by helping to kill innocent civilians and to kill OUR SOLDIERS.
When Democratic Senators and Congressmen demand a pullout of American Troops they play into the hands of the terrorists. As opinions against the war get worse the attacks get worse.
Our resolve is being tested and WE ARE LOSING to EVIL MEN!
STOP NOW... THINK NOW... This is not about Oil, it is not about Mr. Bush, IT IS ABOUT AL QUEDA and what they did on 9-11. It is NOT about IRAQ or whether we were lied to it is ABOUT LOSING. IT IS ABOUT STOPPING TERROR.

Social Security.... Democrats are the PROBLEM!!!

Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social
Security (FICA) Program. He promised:

1.) That participation in the Program would be
completely voluntary,

2.) That the participants would only have to pay
1% of the first $1,400 of their annual
incomes into the Program,

3.) That the money the participants elected to put
into the Program would be deductible from
their income for tax purposes each year,

4.) That the money the participants put into the
independent "Trust Fund" rather than into the
General operating fund, and therefore, would
only be used to fund the Social Security
Retirement Program, and no other
Government program, and,

5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees
would never be taxed as income.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are
now receiving a Social Security check every month --
and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of
the money we paid to the Federal government to "put
away" -- you may be interested in the following:
-------------------------------------------------------------

Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the
independent "Trust Fund" and put it into the
General fund so that Congress could spend it?
A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the democratically
controlled House and Senate.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax
deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?

A: The Democratic Party.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social
Security annuities????
A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the
"tie-breaking" deciding vote, as President of the
Senate, while he was Vice President of the USA.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: Which Political Party decided to start giving
annuity payments to immigrants?

This is MY FAVORITE:

A: That's right! Jimmy Carter! And the Democratic Party of course!
Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65,
began to receive Social Security payments! The
Democratic Party gave these payments to them ,
even though they never paid a dime into it!
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Then, after doing all this lying and thieving and violating
of the original contract (FICA), the Democrats
turn around and tell you that the Republicans
want to take your Social Security away!

And the worst part about it is uninformed
citizens believe it!
==============================================
If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of
awareness will be planted and maybe changes will
evolve. Maybe not!.. many Democrats are awfully
sure of what isn't so!!

But it's worth a try. How many people can
YOU send this to?
Actions speak louder than bumper stickers.
Forward this E-mail to others so that they can
be informed of the truth.

Kentucky Congressmen Vote on Polar Bear Hunting Ban...
First Name Last Name Party State Yes No Didn't Vote Congressional Sportsmen's Caucus
Ben Chandler D KY x Yes
Geoff Davis R KY x Yes
Ron Lewis R KY x Yes
Harold Rogers R KY x Yes
Ed Whitfield R KY x Yes
John Yarmuth D KY x No

As you can see again Congressman Yarmuth has voted against the interests of sportsmen in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Voting to stop hunting of HEALTHY Polar Bear Populations and to deprive native populations of needed revenue, and to ignore the rights of Canada a good neighbor to manage its own resources.
He also apparently is the only member of the Kentucky Congressional Delegation who is not a member of the Congressional Sportsmen's Caucus.

Elizabeth Edwards - Liberal making of a heroin

I am not a huge fan of Ann Coulter. I find her brand of conservatism a bit lacking. Still and all I do know when someone is getting hosed in the press. For those who did not hear the entire statement that Ms Coulter made when she stated that she had learned her lesson.. she should not call Mr. Edwards a Faggot, she should wish he died in a terrorist attack.. To put this in context..
The full statement she made stated that Others had wished that Vice President Dick Cheney had been killed in an attack in Afghanistan. She was pointing out that no one had gotten upset when pundits had made that statement so instead of calling people names she should just say "I wish John Edwards had been killed in a terrorist attack."
In Fact Ms. Edwards was complaining about something that was not about her or her husband. Of course the Liberal Press play the part of the story about Ms. Coulter saying she wished John Edwards killed in a terrorist plot without playing what led up to it.
Shame on the Press and on Entertainment Tonight for this poor journalistic tactic.
Thats My take on it.

Make NO MISTAKE... We are at War.

War was declared on the United States in 1992 by Ossama Bin Laden. The first attack occurred in 1993 when the first attack on the World Trade Center occurred. Since then there have been attacks by local Al Queda Cells on this country and its citizens on every continent but South America, and the Antartic.
Problem is that the people in this country do not understand and have not had to sacrifice for like the "Greatest Generation" that lost 250,000 in its fight to stop Hitler.
We are at war with an enemy who will NEVER surrender, will NOT negotiate, and who sees negotiation as a weakness. They may sign an agreement, agree to peace but in the end they will try to kill each and every person who is not part and parcel in line with the Wahabi Beliefs of Islam.
These beliefs demand the extinction of all non-believers.
DO YOU GET THAT?
We can not leave Iraq. If we do the Wahabi Sect Mullahs, and the Al Queda nut jobs will take over. There will be plenty of oil revenue to allow them to purchase if not develop Nuclear Weapons with which they can attack this country.
Sadly they will use OUR OWN Freedoms against us.
They are using our own technology against us now. Do you really believe that all of the conspiracies you see on the internet are not helped along by small tidbits of misinformation that is being sent out by Al Queda and the Wahabi Sect?
This whole 9-11 was a Bush Attack nonsense? This is Al Queda trying to tear us apart from within using our own internet to provide the impetus for this dissent.
ONE GUY even says that the planes that hit the WTC were not big enough to be the Boeing Planes.. that they were drones that hit the towers..
PEOPLE, People, People, do you really believe those were drones?
Do you think anyone would allow a plane to land and then have OUR OWN MILITARY kill the people in the planes? Is there a soldier in this army that would kill innocent Men, Women and CHILDREN in order to cover up the Quote "9-11" conspiracy?
HORSE HOCKEY.
We are at war. This country has lost fewer people in the last 10 years than in 5 years of WW2. 20 Million died in Europe, and Asia and the South Pacific. Stopping Sadam was a good thing. We have to finish the job.
Democrats will not do that. At least not the ones I have seen. MAYBE Joe Lieberman could do it.. but he is the ONLY conservative Democrat I have seen who could do the job of President.
Thats my take on it.

More Answers to the Ill informed.

The war was declared over already: "Mission Accomplished."

Gun confiscation is anti-freedom no matter which way you try and spin it. When they come for your guns because "we're at war" maybe you'll complain? But it we're doing it in Iraq, then it's all about freedom and democracy for Iraqis.


That war is over. This is a new war. A war to rebuild Iraq.
The mission was to overthrow the Sadam Government. We won.
The new war is with Al Queda in Iraq which wants a new home now that Afghanistan is not going to work for them any more.. plus with Iraq they get control of Oil.
YES I will admit that this war is about Oil.
It is why Iraq is so important to both sides. If the Iraqi's do not obtain freedom, if the Iranians or Al Queda take over it will mean that oil supplies around the world will be cut off to all NON-Believers, unless we are willing to pay a price that will give Capital to our enemies to destroy us.
The challenge is to give the Iraqi People a government of all the people not just a government of one sect or the other. A government that cares about all the people and does not try to kill 60% of the people. ( This is what happened under Sadam)
Al Queda does all it can to stop this.
We must not give in to Al Queda.
Failure to stand up and to make the necessary sacrifices will mean the end to our way of life. America can not withdraw from Iraq without a REAL government in place. IF we are defeated in Iraq, there will NEVER be an end to terror.
If you think we have lost over 7000 men women and children over the last 6 years in this country on 9-11 and through the soldiers fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan then you WILL think that is nothing when Al Queda has a country to attack from.
History teaches us that failing to stand up to tyrants, that appeasing the enemy NEVER works.
We appeased Hitler. Chamberlaind declared "Peace in our Time" and Bush's Mission Accomplished may join Peace in our Time as one of the stupidest undertatements in history.. but Peace can not be obtained without a free Iraq.
We can leave.
In 5 years we will have to go back and bomb the entire country and Iran back to the stone age. Either that or accept Allah as our God and the destruction of our country.
What is your choice.
Death of some now.
Deahs of MILLIONS later.
Hitler dies in 1939 and 15 million souls live and Europe is spared a terrible war.
Sadam is killed in 2006 and millions are saved.. for now.
WHAT IS your solution Demigod? What is your solution liberals..
The choices you have made in the past have killed millions.
I support the soldiers and I suppor this war.
I donate 50% of my income to Freedom is Not Free from my Hotel and Motel busines.
I have attempted to sign on as a Truck Driver in Iraq or Afghanistan.. Just too old..
What have you done to support our soldiers?
Jim Dicken

More for my Youtube Buddies.

demidogma: THE SURGE WAS GOING TO SHOW RESULTS, or not, by September. Now we learn that Gen. Petraeus may be aiming for September, 2017. Eight or ten years is the typical timeframe for success or failure with an insurgency.

Imagine ten more years, at 800 to 1,000 KIA per year, and $100 billion per year. What insanity these people have.


I would deny your time line. Still what would you do?
If we leave Al Queda has a new country with Billions of Dollars in Oil Revenue to use to Acquire weapons of mass destruction to kill us. They have a place to train and to get ready for world domination. IF I MUST CHOSE who will dominate the future of this world I would chose the United States.
You are naive at best to believe that this war is not going to cost lives and money. That is what Al Queda wants. Bankrupt the world putting it into anarchy so that they can recruit from every sector of society.
Al Queda depends on death and destruction.
The United States depends of Freedom.
Were YOU in Iran or Syria or even Saudi Arabia and to talk the way you do..??
Well let us just say that you and your ilk are the people that Al Queda depends on and will be the first they kill.
Has this war been fought perfectly ? HELL NO.. no war is.
World War 2 was a major disaster. D-Day was so incompetent that Hitler believed for 2 days that the Americans and English really were going to hit another part of the coast of France. Over 2500 died on Omaha Beach due to total chaos and confusion. Tanks were dumped into 30 feet of water that were meant to provide cover to the men on the beach.
Yet we scream of the TERRIBLE cost of invading Iraq in the deaths of our yound soldiers.. Yes I cry ever time I see a name, yet I remember too the grandfathers of some of these men. 250,000 Killed in World War 2. 20 Million Europeans, Africans, Australians, Asians and Americans who died in WW2 because we failed to stop a dictator whom Sadam took lessons from in horrifying death and destruction.
A man who Sadam and others of the Wahabi Sect look to as a hero because he wanted the end of all Jews.
What is the solution if not continuing to fight and give Iraq a FREE government?
What would you do?
Instead of talking about our country like it is so terrible for taking out a man who would have killed millions tell me what YOU would do different to stop the terrorists who are using our FREEDOMS against us. Who abuse their rights in this country to plot and to plan to attack us.
You talk a good hatred, but what would you do to STOP the US EMPIRE from helping poor people who are being murdered by horrible people?
What is the solution o brilliant soothsayer who hates corporations and profit and oil and money and oh yeah the very things that give you your podium to toss out this drek of hatred and self loathing of this country.
YOU ASSUME that everything we stand for now is bad.. yet what is the solution to terror?
America did nothing to Al Queda.
Matter of fact we helped them to fight the oppression of the Russians.. and the reward for that was that WE were attacked.
How do we deal with people who have fundamentalist beliefs that say KILL ALL NON BELIEVERS?
What is your solution to death and destruction driven by hatred?
My solution is to take out the haters and to rebuild the countries infrastructure so that the people can live normal lives. We are doing that in Iraq and in return Al Queda kills not only Sunni's but Shiite's. Why? Because they depend on Poor, Stupid, Uneducated and deprived people to continue their hate.
We are attempting to restart a country and while the campaign was not run properly from the beginning the alternative to staying and continuing to rebuild is to leave Iraq in chaos and to give Al Queda a new country to restart their terror from.
IF Iraq goes, Europe will be in flames within 5 years.
In 10 years the United States will be isolated and bankrupt. No military to defend us. Open to invasion by ill equipped and ill prepared Al Queda militants who will kill indiscriminately. Communities will be isolated and will be forced to defend themselves.
This is what happens if we fail in Iraq.
I promise.
Thats my belief

To my Youtube Friends...

jimd asks: WHY IS IT THAT YOU HATE THIS COUNTRY?

Well, Jim, I don't know about you, but I love this country. That's why I am so concerned about what the combination of neo-cons, Christian fundies, corporations, and flag-waving, goose-stepping thugs have done with it.

It scares me that people really believe that there are goose stepping thugs in this country. I would like for you to Identify who you think this is. Conservatives like myself and the Christian Fundamentalists, apparently are BAD. Why? We believe in God. We believe in Freedom, and in what this country stands for. What we do not believe in is creating special classes and special rules for special groups. The Christian Religion preaches love of EVEN the sinner. While some Fundies as you call them do not believe that this country should seperate Church beliefs from Freedom beliefs I do. I do not care if 2 men or 2 women co-habitate, I think you are free to choose. God gave us free choice so I do not care what you do in the privacy of your home..
Beyond that I do not see the problem with Corporations. (Well not most) Corporations provide jobs, profits, investment, research things that individuals can not due because of the problems of Litigation this country has.. and that is a LIBERAL Deal.. not a conservative one.
If an individual were to invent a drug doing the research and all the work and it saved lives.. ONLY to be found to have dire side effects for which he was sued? End of the individual. That is why corporations began and were allowed to exist. Corporations have deep pockets and can at least survive.
As for your view that this country is an Empire? How do you figure that?
Because we are trying to set up a FREE Government in Iraq?
If we had gone into Somalia and done this or to Africa during the great rampages of the 90's where millions died would you feel the same way?
It was the Democrats that ignored the death and destruction in Africa because there was no oil there. It was Clinton who allowed Ossama Bin Laden to get started and the to grow as a threat.
You talk like we are fighting in Iraq for the oil companies, but the oil will be turned over to the new Iraqi Government and to the people IF we defeat Al Queda. Iraq will have its own government and its own chosen freedoms. How does that make the US an Empire?
Our men are fighting TERROR not for corporations and if you were to suggest to a soldier that he was fighting for oil he would most likely tell you YES.. we are fighting for oil, so that the Iraqi People can have it and use it to recreate a FREE country where women can walk down the street with no fear of being raped by the dictators sons.
Shame on you for your insults. I do not insult Liberals. I try to understand. You see I voted straight democratic party up until Clinton. I hated conservatives.. but I finally realized the reality of Todays world.. Anarchy will mean the growth of Al Queda and other fundamentalist wacko ideas.
IF we allow anarchy and hate to continue in the Middle East there will NEVER be any peace. This is a war that must be won for there to be peace in the world.
We can not continue to allow these nut job Wahabi Sect Mullahs to exist in the world.
Their reign of terror must stop NOW.
If it does not the attacks on major targets will continue until a target is finally hit that destroys the world economy, turning the world upside down and making the Fundamentalist Promises of Heaven and Virgins appealing to people who will have nothing.
Wake up.
Your views will end with this country on fire. Europe in ruins.
You are not getting the full story from the news. Do you really believe that CBS, NBC, ABC or CNN can cover the real story in 20 minutes ever night on the World News?
The problem is NOT A sound bite.
Stop believing that Corporations are bad because they say so..
Stop believing that this war is about profit for American Corportations..
Stop believing that our soldiers are dying for nothing..
START BELIEVING that this country can do what is right in Iraq and then you might understand why we fight and why our soldiers die.
Thats my take on it..
