#2 We like the Iraq War even less than we like you, you phukkin dumb bag!!!

However, the war is necessary, whereas you on the other hand, are of no positive value to our nation.

#4 Nancy seems to have bumped into a corner of reality, but doesn't yet understand what she has discovered. Maybe she does, but is afraid to admit it. She can't be seen to be too far ahead on this issue or she'll lose her precious constituents.

I think she, like many liberals, is still struggling to distinguish between "like" for the war with "willingness" to do what needs to be done to secure everyone's future. I also think that this kind of liberal believes that if you pursue something that is distastful then that means you support it. I wish that there were no violence, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't act when someone tries to kill me. He's there. He's real. He also doesn't think like a liberal.

A liberal's logic would probably work fine if everyone behaved honorably, but until that day comes and stays, we'll need people who are willing to act to defend themselves and their neighbors and put up with the constant stream of cluelessness from those who don't get it.

I have a liberal friend who once said "If we'd just be nice to them then they'd be nice to us!"

It's easy to argue with the logic, but not with the person employing the logic. So needless to say I left it at that.

You should have slapped him and then kept slapping him to see how long he would continue to hold to his philosophy.

#7 Liberal idealists know how the world should work, and what you should do to get it that way, and keep it that way.

Conservative pragmatists are not confused by dreams of an idyllic utopia.

You can e-mail Nancy - even if you can't vote for her. From her (ugh - somebody has to do it!)website - "If you are not a constituent of the 8th district of California, and would like to e-mail Congresswoman Pelosi in her role as Speaker of the House, please email her at AmericanVoices@mail.house.gov "

#8 Actually, I like the idea of spreading democracy and overturning dictatorships and liberating people from tyranny. Dictatorships know that the victory of democracy is inevitable, so they oppress, connive, plan, and execute actions to continue in power, support other dictatorships, and stop democracies. The world is not a simple or easy place to live: Dictatorships WORK to make sure that's the situation, so sometimes war is necessary to move things along. Maybe I should be sorry that, in the process, democrats and liberal lefties are shown to be dictator-loving, cowardly pansies and dick-heads. On the other hand, maybe I shouldn't.

By the way, because you, Pelosi, supported keeping Saddam in power, does that mean you 'like' what he did?

Well Ptah, you'll figure out that the reason they don't support democracy in Iraq is because they really don't support democracy in America either. They support the 'image' of democracy to keep the masses docile, but their concept of democracy is one often found in the title "People's Democratic Republic of.." Do you think for a moment that if they could get away with doing what Saddam, Bob, or Hugo have/are doing that they wouldn't be tempted to do the same?

#11 Well, if liking to see a job finished correctly and winning a war is wrong... I don't ever want to be right.

So, yeah. I "like" the war.

#12 Stealing shamelessly from another poster:

Republicans like war like liberals like abortion...

Discuss amongst yourselves.

#13 "But the Republicans have made it very clear that this is not just George Bush's war. This is the war of the Republicans in Congress."

The war we face is not simply The Presidents war. Nor is it congressional Republicans war. It is Americas war! And civilization as we know it depends on its success.
America NEEDS leadership now more then ever! Regardless of political party or ideologies, someone needs to confront those that flippantly espouse such blatantly offensive and dangerous rhetoric. The collective peril we face will be unimaginable should a large portion of the citizenry literally accept the above quote as anything more then political claptrap. Bin Ladens admonishments that the United States is nothing but a paper tiger was much more of a complex concept then a simple commentary on intestinal fortitude. He understood that the Wests growing prevalence for the lust of personal power is their Achilles tendon. The enemies we face dont wake up wondering how they will horse-trade favors for the mundane such as carbon-credit legislation. In fact, they really dont care much about elections or even politics in general. However, they know full well that a direct military confrontation is a losing proposition. Therefore they methodically plot how best to exploit the obvious weakness. And all they have to do is read the quotes from Americas so-called leaders to reinforce their belief that their diabolical plans have a chance for success.
