FrontPage ^ | June 29, 2005 | By Ben Johnson

About sums it up.

[Piquaboy]

Unless you are a Rat, then you would cut and run.

[Ron in Acreage]

The article nails it. The democrats are aiding and abetting the enemy to undermine us every day. They are "The Enemy Within" as Savage has known all along. The democrats hatred for our troops and our country is really sickening.

[Noachian]

This leftist rhetoric sounds very similar to that used in the Viet Nam war.

It was a consistently negative barrage of words used by the American left that heartened the Viet communists to continue fighting.

In the end of that war American politicians cut and ran, and millions of Asians died while the American left looked the other way.

[satchmodog9]

I wonder when the media will ever tell the truth about the Iraqi Liberation Act.

[Coldwater Creek]

I doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that the reason's for going into Iraq was multi-fold.

While I mourn every loss of life, I feel much safer than I have in a long time. I have a bigger fear of the Dems being in charge and then the rest of the world will know how weak the other 1/2 of the country is. May God have mercy on this country.

[mathluv]

'While I mourn every loss of life, I feel much safer'

I no longer turn on the tv several times a day just to see if there are commercials - 'no commercials' is bad news.

[Personal Responsibility]

I wonder when the media will ever tell the truth about the Iraqi Liberation Act.

About the same time they start focusing on the negatives of the enemy as opposed to our own failings. In a word, never.

I missed the speech last evening. This morning, I put on the radio and listened to callers. The biggest gripes I heard this am were that he didn't outline an exit strategy or date (some people just never learn), and that he "still hasn't laid out a case for being there in the first place."

Overall, if people like W, they thought it was good, If they don't they hated the speech, and the middle of the roaders split 50-50.

--snip--[W]e fight today because terrorists want to attack our country and kill our citizens

--snip--and we will stay in the fight until the fight is won

Which means when there are not terrorists there that want to attack our country and kill our citizens?

[SMARTY]

"... as though there was no enemy out there dedicated to slaughtering millions of Americans by any means necessary."

There has never been a news item, a clandestinely produced video, an official statement, pronouncements from detainees, utterances of forces opposed to the coalition in Iraq and Afghanistan,...I say, there has never been a time when terrorists did NOT say that they are committed to killing non Muslims, that they plan to keep killing all and anyone opposed to them and their 'beliefs', and that they are on a course to destroy America and Americans. Never once will you see any of them or their spokespersons say anything different... on any occasion they have for public attention, they re iterate their plan to murder Americans and attack America and America's interests.


Their activities and statements convinced me right away and I have NEVER been confused about their objectives. Nothing they do or say has ever changed my mind about them or their plan.

I ask you, why and HOW do liberals insist on seeing them as misunderstood and innocent until proved otherwise???? What kind of perfect gullibility wants coalition forces to stand down and allow the terrorists a free hand in the world...beginning with Iraq and Afghanistan??? A free hand is what they had before 9/11 and they demonstrated what they would do if left 'unchallenged'. I am so tired of this President having to explain the patently obvious to elected officials of this country who ought (by virtue of experience, education, intellect, common sense and feeling) to know better.

[300magnum]

If you make a speech, and the Libs are bitching and crying before and after the speech...you must be doing something right.

[jch10]

Yes, sadly, it does. I grieve for my country when Democrats are so vocal and sway the thinking of Americans and Republicans remain quiet and allow it to happen. Where are the leaders, the statesmen of this era???

[johnny7]

The Democrat Party has become a party of appeasing socialists. They have more in common with European communists than they do with real Americans.

I have already began treating them as such.

[Yardstick]

*Big Bump*

[norton]

I think that the Dems currently in power, in the media and in government, and the voting left of about the same age, is simply unable to admit that they might have been wrong forty years ago. To do so would invalidate their entire world view and social/political agenda.

They think that by defining Iraq as 'another Vietnam" they believe that they can justify what was treason then and what is treason today.

The facts that a Dem started Vietnam and another Dem expanded it into their "quagmire" only makes the hypocrisy more complete.

[Uncle Jaque]

A Friend and I co-host a Satruday Morning radio talk show up here in Maine (WLOB 1310AM/96.3AM).

The media - even, sad to say, FOX to some extent, are doing a bang up job of filtering the news from the sandbox and only letting, for the most part, the negative news in to the American public.

Of course the people who only get their information via the NYT and their leftist cult following in the media will naturally be left with the impression that we are "losing", and that it's an illigitimate "quagmire" in which our military is doomed to certain defeat, Bush is "lying" and all the rest of their PC baloney.

It worked for them in VietNam, and they are trying the same game this time around, aren't they?

Every now and then we get an e-mail (pretty dated by now) listing some of the positive developments in Iraq - like number of schools built, water systems installed, etc..

But where could we go for a timely and reliable source of what's actually happening over there, so that we could broadcast it to our listeners on occasion?

Of course we don't want to compromise security in any way, but wouldn't it be nice for a few more Americans to have the real, unfiltered, unpropagandized news from the Front?

We get a little of it here and there from the major talk radio shows like Rush and Tony Snowe - but some of the relatively small, everyday examples of freedom catching on over there might be refreshing to our listeners.

TIA - UJ

[Coldwater Creek]

Yes that would be a good indicator that all is well.

[johnny7]

Spot-on norton.

The big buzz after the 2004 election was that the Dem's were going to 'move-to-the-center' in order to get that critical 'swing-vote'

HA! They made a move alright... right into George Soros's back pocket.

Since they now no longer represent the values of the old Democrat Party... it's time we treat them like the Euro/socialist trash they so admire!

[HIDEK6]

I think that the Dems currently in power, in the media and in government, and the voting left of about the same age, is simply unable to admit that they might have been wrong forty years ago.

I think you're exactly right.

The actions of the cowardly left, 40 years ago, have been exposed to have been cowardly.

They think that by continuing to scream the mantra of the sixties they can change that reality.

Luckily the citizens of the aughts are a lot smarter than the citizens of the sixties.
