A Cautionary Tale : /p>

You were spot on about the press in "A Cautionary Tale." I just don't understand how the left and the press in general can be so disinterested in who wins in the WOT. They behave as if they've no stakes in the struggle even when their own reporters often have suffered beheadings for merely visiting areas occupied by these reactionary Islamic nut jobs. With this mindset, it's no wonder so many Democrats and liberals admire the French and Germans who have always been comfortable cozying up to dictators when it suited their comfort. That admiration allows our liberals and Democrats to feel they're superior, that they can just naturally ignore the tough choices and live in a world where there are no tradeoffs in decision making, and that they can pretend that there are no real threats greater than George Bush. Pretending isn't responsible behavior for adults. Ignoring reality isn't either.

p>But I'm amazed at the left's incipient lining up to argue that a war with Iran would be worse than an Iran with nuclear weapons. It seems they'll even betray every progressive policy and pose they purport to believe in just to get at Bush and the good ol' USA. This is how badly they want power; they'll even undermine our defense and allow lunatics to have nuclear weapons if it serves their partisan goals. Like today's celebrities, the Democrats and the MSM press that carries their water have no self-awareness or shame. br> -- Chuck Fowler /p> p> RELIGIOUS LOATHING br> Re: Patrick O'Hannigan's Why I Won't Stop Going to Church : /p>

Is this the same church that burned perhaps tens of thousands of women as witches? We know that witches don't exist, don't we? Is this the same church that wiped out the Cathars in medieval France? Is this the same church that looked suspiciously on even Jews who converted to Catholicism in Avila, Spain! Jesus' teachings just didn't survive the fact of there being no second coming.
