Because: Frankly, if you do not want to see our president lead our nation and the world to victory, then, go elsewhere. Really, this is NOT the time to putz around.

I've suddenly decided we should stop this foolish war against bin Laden and attack the Sun. That's right, we should attack bin Sol.

For billions of years, bin Sol has been infecting this innocent planet with solar radiation, twisting and killing things without mercy. We need to attack Sol immediately.

But *don't criticize* our leaders if we attampt such an attack. We must follow them blindly into the Sun. That have told us Sol is our enemy, and so proof is not necessary -- they have said it. Millions of people every year suffer sun burns and skin cancer from his neferous effects. This must not be allowed to stand and we must not stop our efforts until only a Black Hole is left were Sol used to be.

Honestly, I find it terribly sad that a forum that was intensely vigilant as to the doings of our government has now changed to an unquestioning supporter of the same. Don't get me wrong: I fully support not giving troop information or other technical information (which I, in fact, possess a small amount of) -- that would be clearly wrong.

It is also wrong, IMO, not to scrutinize what our government is doing and to point it out if something wrong or anti-American comes to fore. The government of today and the one before September eleventh is the *same one*, still full of many Clinton appointees and those who would take away our freedoms. As horrific as the events of that fateful day are, our government is still staffed by the same people.

I respect Jim Rob's right to determine what is posted here. I've been coming here for a long time, and what Jim Robinson has created has done a great service for this country, IMO. All I can say to the forum and to him is this: the law of unintended (or intended) consequences remains in wartime as much as in peacetime. If we blindly follow our leaders simply because we are at war, then it may well be that this war will never end, and our freedoms will be forever extinguished not by foreign attack, but by our own fears and the power-hungry in our own government. To me, this is a real possibility.

But if I am not to be allowed to question and must instead watch unfold things I cannot support as a Christian and American without comment on this forum, then I suppose I should go rather than violate JimRob's policies, which I respect. I don't want to do that, but I respect his wishes.

For now, I'll wait and see how things play out here, just as I am waiting to see how things play out on the American Stage.

The "American Stage" may become permanently dark if we don't get this show on the road.
