The American Spectator

Seems that if you read the news of the day we are all sacrificing more than we know. But I’m pretty certain if President Bush gave a fireside chat asking for more shared sacrifice he’d get the proverbial middle finger. How dare he ask us to give up our third cell phone, our 12 year old’s laptop, new boat, digital cable, high speed wireless Internet, Netflix membership, HBO (can’t miss The Sopranos), next Spring’s new fashions, American Idol, dining out, mowing our own yards, driving a new car for less than three years, etc.

I think we can agree this country doesn’t want to sacrifice anything even to save itself today. Just look at reality — we create a front in the global war on these terrorist thugs and their evil masters in the belly of the beast by putting a large footprint in Iraq and now almost 60% of idiots polled think it’s a mistake because their strings are easily pulled by jerks on TV whining that we’ve lost 2,600 brave men and women in the last three and a half years so we must retreat because we can’t handle it and need to rebury our heads in the sand.
