First off, I apologize for my post getting lumped together like that. Apparently running it through the spell-check on here destroyed the line breaks I had put in. It was far easier to read when I typed it.

Secondly, E.G.C., the way you speak to me about how liberals don't seem to like people speaking their mind is highy hypocritical. President Bush and his administration have said that anyone who questions their decisions is akin to a Nazi appeaser/person who would tolerate slavery pre-Civil War/etc.

And the President did, at one point, suggest that it was inappropriate to think that any actions by the US or its troops during the war on terror can be similar to the actions of those we are fighting.

I'm not going to try to debate whether this country is more conservative or liberal. I don't have any independent studies to prove my opinion, and you haven't presented any to prove yours. The more rational side of me suggests that the country is fairly evenly split, but I can't prove this any more than I can prove that the country is more liberal or you can prove the country is more conservative.

Finally, E.G.C., I don't believe you actually tried to argue anything that my long post said, aside from saying that it was unwise for me to defend Mr. Olbermann on this website. I already knew that, by the way; I was well aware that this site would have people that would flame me for my opinions, but I was hoping there would be just as many who were interested in truly enlightened discussion, as well.

I am not trying to force anyone into having the same opinions as I do, and I tried to make that clear in my post. Believe it or not, E.G.C., we Democrats want this country to be secure just as you Republicans do. The only difference between the two parties, at least where National Security is concerned, is the means by which we want to reach those ends.

Finally, I would ask that E.G.C.--and all others who read my posts--please do me one favor, and try to present some argument to the factual points I made when replying to my posts. I'm willing to re-post the essay with the proper line breaks, if there is any interest in my doing so.

Well, thanks. I think I've made my points very clear in this discussion.

The truth of the matter is Clinton wasn't a good sport about people questioning his actions. Now, like it or not that's the reality. Bush has never said any such thing that you've tried to imply

There's major differneces between the Republicans and the Democrats. The big differnece is we recognize where the real threat is and are working to neutralize those threats.

The sooner the Dems realize this, the better off we'll be as a nation.

Welcome to FR. You're not likely to be flamed for being liberal, at least not right away, but heaven help you once the ad hoc Posting Police see an unformatted post... ;-)

We have a number of house liberals who have quite a bit of longevity and very seldom get that 220V shock through the keyboard (you didn't read that disclaimer when you signed up, did you?) It's what you make it, and it never hurts to hold a civil discussion with anyone wishing to keep it civil. There are others, too...I'll have to introduce you to MurryMom...

Many of us recognize that the biggest enemy we face is the Treason Media which constantly undermines the President and National Security (not to mention mere human dignity.)

How can you justify any media source NOT telling the American People of the existence of an entire Nuclear Weapons research program run for Saddam in Libya with Iraqi scientists, materials etc.? We know it existed because Libya admitted it after the invasion of Iraq and turned over all equipment and material related to it. Yet, there have been NO significant stories, NO deeply researched articles in major newspapers, NO in depth shows on ABCCBSCNNNBC. Certainly Olbermann never mentions it.

Just THIS program alone justified the removal of Saddam yet the Treason Media suppresses the information because it would illustrate the grave danger Saddam posed. Only by such suppression, distortion, misinformation and outright LIES has the Treason Media been able to delude the voters into giving more power to the democrats. IF even 1/2 the truth about such matters were allowed the democrat party would be in a permanent minority.

WITH the current media it is a miracle that ANY Republicans EVER get elected anywhere.
