Great comeback calling me names lol. Keep going, that is what is destroying the right. When you want to debate intelligently without the name calling, you can join the rest of the nation at the adult table. Have a wonderful day.

There is the problem. Patriots will stand up for their country while cowards hide behind the skirts of their parents.

When you have no good reason for the road we are being taken down throw out the racist card. When you grow up get off your butt get a job and start paying taxes you just may change your mind about helping the clueless.

Illegals should not be allowed to voice their opinions in America. That includes Obama. Bush was a hero and a great, great President. Obama is not fit to shine Bush's shoes.
Bush went A.W.O.L from the guard, he was the worst president ever, he almost completely ruined American, and all you secessionist Texans ought to keep your big traps shut.

You really fell for the liberal propaganda about Bush! Blame him when everything else fails.

"The next outrage is that Obama wants to give due diligence to Afghanistan.

Instead of just firing the general who truthfully tells him his manpower needs — like George W. Bush did with Gen. Shinseki — Obama wants to rethink about why we are sending our best and brightest to die in a God-forsaken land"

...cleverness has never been seen associated with long delays.

There is no instance of a country having benefited from prolonged warfare.

____

There are three ways in which a ruler can bring misfortune upon his army:--

(1) By commanding the army to advance or to retreat,
being ignorant of the fact that it cannot obey.
This is called hobbling the army.

(2) By attempting to govern an army in the
same way as he administers a kingdom, being ignorant
of the conditions which obtain in an army. This causes restlessness in the soldier's minds.

(3) By employing the officers of his army
without discrimination, through ignorance of the
military principle of adaptation to circumstances.
This shakes the confidence of the soldiers.

When you engage in actual fighting, if victory is long in coming, then men's weapons will grow dull and their ardor will be damped. If you lay siege to a town, you will exhaust your strength.

Again, if the campaign is protracted, the resources of the State will not be equal to the strain.

Now, when your weapons are dulled, your ardor damped, your strength exhausted and your treasure spent, other chieftains will spring up to take advantage of your extremity. Then no man, however wise, will be able to avert the consequences that must ensue.

Thus, though we have heard of stupid haste in war, cleverness has never been seen associated with long delays.

There is no instance of a country having benefited from prolonged warfare.

Good article. Of course Bush would never attend the funeral of a fallen soldier. He's in a class above those peons. As a member of The Family, Bush must accept that he is in a class with Chairman Mao, Hitler and Stalin. He is above common and cannot stoop to mingle. Those dead soldiers gladly gave up their lives for him.

Jimmy Carter was a humane president too, one term. They are just too emotionally involved with trying to actually help this government & country that they get chewed up and spit out by the spin doctors, etc.

Money rules Washington & Wall Street and stupid poor folk THINK they are so smart following Rich Politicians...

I would've gone but the Marines wouldn't take a 72 year old woman. Bush did what he had to do with the Congress he had - blush marked Democrats. And Bush's children were teenagers at the time. Just a reminder - there is no draft these days. The brave people who went to war were and are VOLUNTEERS!

Better yet, follow the Founders' advice: stay out of foreign wars and entanglements. Who said America has to be the world policemen, nation builder and empire? Cheney and his PNAC bunch? Screw them.

Bloggers aren't journalists in the sense you want us to believe. Your opinonated?, so, we all are, the fact that you keep a running commentary on yours does not make you a journalist, or even a reporter for that matter. Your just another blowhard with an idea who thinks that people want to hear them. Wrong.

Daily Horoscope for January 7

Cancer

You feel the urge to move onward, powered by your wisdom: when you're right, you're right. You may feel that any further explanation is unnecessary, but the people you're dealing with might need it spelled out for them. Take the time to draw a picture or use smaller vocabulary words to get your point across, Cancer. A public demonstration will probably prove to be the last word on the subject.
