Where are the protests and outrage from the American people? They release these things to prove to their people that we are weak and will not defend ourselves. That emboldens their people and results in more combatants for us to deal with. We need a strong show of force. We are the biggest kid on the block and by God its time we started acting like it. WWII was not ended by diplomacy and political expediency. It takes guts to do the right thing in the face of overwhelming opinion. War is hell. Innocent people die. That has been the way of war for centuries and it is the only method these people know. They understand and accept that fact which frees them to do horrendous things while we sit back on our moral cowardice and pretend that the world is a nice place where all people hold the sanctity of life above conquest. Sadly, this is not reality. Warlords craving power use religion and fear to coerce their people into dying for conquest. In the end, people are dead, and the warlord is richer and more powerful, UNLESS we stop it. It is time to stop pretending that this is not a war of cultures and accept it for what it is.
Our time is running out. If we lose the house, senate or white house in upcoming elections, the jihadists will have no reason not to escalate the war against our way of life. As for now, one man's courage and resolve has them tethered with the understanding that an attack on American soil during this administration will result in a response that even the cowards in Washington cannot stop. Americans are fed up. We are tired of pretending not to be the strongest power in the world. Why are we ashamed of that? We have done so much good for the world in our short 200 year existence and yet we are afraid that the world will see us as bad people. It is time for Americans to get off our lazy asses and start calling for a response to this war on civilization.
It is time to change the faces in Washington. The McCain(s), Kennedy(s), Pelosi(s), etc. They need to go and they need to go ASAP. This election is critical to our survival. Power-tripping politicians who can't see beyond the next election and approval polls do not have the strength or fortitude to fight this enemy. We need a warrior who understand the hells of armed conflict and recongnizes the necessity of such action.
The above was written in response to the Assassinate Bush video game release. I just forgeot to mention it, sorry.
Bong water.
welcome to Free Republic...but
suggest you lurk a while
then post a comment or two
then maybe a news clipping
and maybe
then

vanity
vanities DO NOT belong in this section of site.
Time for Bush to put on his black hat and boot and kick some islamofacist butt! Bush isn't king, so we are stuck with the congresscritters that seem to have forgotten who put them there and pay their salaries. I would prefer that people fear what our reaction will be than voted most popular. Our security isn't a popularity contest run by polls, it's won by superior firepower and intel.
Hell yeah!
Ollie North for President!
Sorry, but the general public has never gone "into the streets"--that's for grandstanding liberals.
The Silent Majority makes itself known by voting in a President who IS getting the job done by sending our men and women all over the planet to do this job.
This is a disturbing new trend on FR. Do we have to jump every time some Islamofascist shouts?
Our people are getting the job done--sometimes in front of cameras, sometimes not. The need for some made for TV demonstration is a childish one.
Good post.
No, we're more likely to stock up on ammo. ;^)
"" Ollie North for President! ""
I would vote for him. I don't see anybody else I'd vote for.
Well, at least there is no link to a blog. :)
well pardon me for actually caring enough to post anything at all. I apologize that it didn't make it into the exact thread you would have preferred. I have wtached FR for some time and have just recently begun to post. With responses like these I wonder if I should post at all or if it is just wasted on internet chatter instead of real people with real convictions. We face a a serious enemy and your concern is whether this post is in the right room or not. Its on topic and it doesn't pretend to be a news article. If you don't like it, then have the mods delete it.
