You know there was a book that came out last year I believe that had a lot of evidence that McCarthy was right. It's a common tactic of the political Left that if you don't like the message then slander the messenger. Now we have a culture where it is considered most American to hate America. Does that make sense? Jimmy Carter can buddy up with Castro and Sean Penn can get kissy face with Sadam Hussein and talk down our country to the world but if anyone dares tell them they are wrong then it's time to break out the McCarthy card.
I have many disagreements with this administration but as far as the war goes they are the only ones willing to do something about it. No one has yet answered the question: What would you have us do?
And yes, every time a Democratic party leader talks down the administration or there is a poll about public support waning, it gives aid and comfort to the enemy. You don't have to take my word for it Bin Laden said as much. Our division and lack of will power is a big part of why they chose to attack us on 9-11. I think there hasn't been another attack here since because of our strong reponse but the more we bicker and waffle about how to pursue the war the more they are encouraged that their tactics will work. They might even think we could have a repeat of what happened in Spain, that an attack before the election will change the results. A simple question to ask yourself is who do you think Bin Laden wants to win?
I think I've made my point and I doubt I'll change your mind nor you mine so I'm going to get back to fishing now but thanks for the debate. Isn't it great that we live in a place where we can argue if we want and even have time and money and even the right to do silly things like fishing? That's why this is the greatest nation in the history of the world and I hope and pray it stays that way.
