Ok - point made.
However, just because you do not agree that Islam is out to kill all infidels - does not mean that others can't see the danger and WILL act to prevent the slaughter of our citizens.
You too are not the only opinion.
Your action after 9/11 would be to blame the Americans. I never hear condemnation of dictators in the world and the havoc they put on their own people. Therefore, it appears that libs love dictatorships and seek to align themselves with them. Why? Do they feel they will be the ruling elite? Are they so cowardly that the only action can be appeasement in hopes only others will be killed not them.
We live in a republic and the majority has a voice.
The liberals will never defend the country and therefore the country is at risk under the control of liberals. Not so with the GOP. This country was made through wars - not talking.
Look at history - every freedom has been bought by war - not the peace-lovers. Why? Because no one will give you peace when they can control you, control your assets and use you.
So, we have to defend freedom or even those like you will not be able to speak out. You should be very thankful that there have always been patriots wise enough to understand and fight those that seek to put us under tyranny.
And, the nimble wordsmithing does not change the fact that men will judge events, men will act to protect their families and their country - no matter how much you dislike it. It also does not change the fact that all are free to read the Bible and live their own lives as they see fit - without living by your rules of no belief in religions.
You are anti everything in society. And, if you had had control back through history we would be under the rule of England to this day.
Thank God for blessing our fine American patriots in helping create this country that is the finest example of freedom in the world. Such a pity that liberals wish to destroy it. Seems they would be so much happier in France.
No, after 9/11 most Democrats and even MoveOn.org favored military action against Afghanistan. Most significant, polling data demonstrate that 84 percent of self-described liberals, two weeks after the attacks, supported "military action" against the terrorists, and 75 percent supported "going to war with a nation that is harboring those responsible." The Bush Administration, in contrast, proved far more interested in going to war against people who had nothing to do with the attacks; in doing so, it invited Al Qaeda to regroup and bin Laden to run free.
Your post also forgets that Democrats led the way against the apartheid regime in South Africa, eventually forcing the Reagan administration to cooperate in forging a democracy there. We have also led the fight against dictatorships in Chile, Haiti, and El Salvador, with Republicans in Congress aligned against us. There is no truth to rumors spread by Karl Rove and other Republican politicians that Democrats would destroy this country.
