All true, but as the RATs know to their everlasting dismay, morally upright, steadfast, and sensible LIberals are as scarce as hen's teeth.
I missed that Steyn gem. Wow.
True. One nation, even the US, wielding supreme power over the world is a bit chancey. From their point of view, we gamble with everything they hold dear every four years, but the UN in that position is unthinkable. Funny that the rest of the world can't admit that. What they're actually plotting, of course, is to put the US firmly under the UN boot. (They've come right out and said so.) Europe (the Third World doesn't agree with the first part of this scenario for obvious reasons), would be the brains and power, diplomatically and economically -- since they have class and culture and the French language...and the US is a Johnny Come Lately Vulgarian. The US would sit down and shut up except when ordered to supply blood and treasure anywhere in the world where US interests aren't involved. We would be modern day Hessians. Hired guns.

That may be the single most presumptively insulting statement I've seen here. Let me ask you, how many visits do you make each month to Walter Reed (or some more local VA facility) or each year? I guarantee that you don't at all. The number of windshield cards I have from WRAMC is enough to paper a wall. My money is where my mouth is with the troops and I have, in fact, been given CSM coins and Division Pendants for the volunteer work I continue to do. These tokens are never expected but always appreciated. What exactly do you do, Arkie, to show your compassion for our troops (I mean besides mouth off anonymously on the internet)?
As for the limits of compassion, didn't you write that on the day we celebrate the birth of Jesus?
Have a nice life.
20 years as an officer and pilot in the Air Force give me the right to make those statements.
