Mr. Klein's piece hits that proverbial nail on the head...that of the liberals' inability to see the physical threat of the war on terrorism. There has been so much verbiage yelling wolf over the wrong things that the distraction aids the terrorists in their plot to overthrow the United States. And I am not sure that they have not succeeded.

I would say careful to the President that I respect so, that when a country goes to war and the only folks asked to sacrifice are the military and its families, that disunity follows rapidly. Fireside chats of long ago were given to people asked to sacrifice and a cause they knew was life threatening. We have periodic talks but not the kind that sustain collective memory. Folks not sacrificing, need to be reminded daily that we could lose this war.

And that brings me to the Democratic Party...and the prospect of their winning the elections. Nothing, absolutely nothing, scares military families more than the idea of a party who places the end result above the nation good, and who would do anything, even treason, to make sure that they win elections. We know they would sell out the United States, state by state, through appeasement, as long as they were the last to be destroyed by the enemy. No desire to seek the good of all or even the smallest comprehension that, we could lose this war, and then invite further destruction, of person and property, exists in their mind or conscience.

Folks who are disgusted with the Republicans speak on public radio about not voting this election and "showing" the Republican Party something. Please, do you know what that remark means to a mother of a son at war for his 3rd tour? Another young man from our town, on his war home, has already remarked, "It seems we are fighting for a country that doesn't care for freedom, for our sacrifices, for our life blood." What kind of selfish people does it take to not value the privilege of voting. You may be disgusted, but call or write your Representatives, don't punish the military by NOT voting.

This mother is distraught this morning over the course I see our nation taking. If we cannot see the threat, if we have no resolve to win, to support those who sacrifice everything for our freedom, then maybe we will deserve to be conquered and live under sharia. For those who never know what the military or military families sacrifice, observations from their quarters are cheap and worth nothing.

When George W. Bush is gone and we no longer have a President dedicated to defending America at all costs then we can experience the "love" Osama bin Laden and company want to share with us right here in the good old USA. My only hope is people like Mathew Yglesias, John Mueller and Ronald Bailey will be the one's experiencing that love.

Gee! Happy days are here again. Let's bring the troops home and quit worrying about that nasty old terrorism. It's just a Republican trick to get votes. Scary Reid knows what's best for America. Hey, how about a tax increase on the middle-class to make things really fun?

From what a lot of conservatives are saying this is what they seem to want too. Bipartisanship is back and polarization is out. I feel safer don't you?
