/p> p>Democrats so misread the national spirit that they pretend that Fox News rather than slavering Muslim savages are the greater threat. That might have worked in 1968. Americans -- including many Democrats -- know instinctively that George Bush is not the anti-Christ and that the United States is not an abusive imperial power. Right now, it is just unfashionable to say so. Imagine what we could accomplish without the dead weight of the Paul Begalas and the 1960s hanging around our necks. br> -- Deane Fish /p>

Mr. Lord's article takes aim on futile Democrat mentality ...the enemy is us, or American network television, or anyone that opposes them. I do wish the equation was that simple to voters. In my heart of heart as the mother of a pilot 'over there' for the third time, I pray each day that those that be for us be more than those that are against us. That may seem like a strange prayer to some but to a mother who has seen what happens when a country abandons its soldiers and leaves them not only locked into failure by rejecting the mission they are fighting for, but vilifies those who return, I shudder. I remember men returning from another war who came home to be called baby killers. For some it meant the rest of their life was spent trying to recover the feeling of basic humanity. For others they persevered onward and upward but still held the echoed words inside forever.

I found myself locked in anger this weekend after hearing the revelations that a member of the GOP could pursue with uncalculated lust and dishonor a teenager who had been given to his care. It doesn't matter one iota to me that Democrats do this with great regularity then talk about it on the Oprah show ... I am concerned that many will go to the polls next month and defeat Republicans and then the next two years we will see impeachment, soldiers vilified even further and left without funds, and most of all that nightmare that our country could fall. I realize there are not many folks who think we could fall as a nation, but I most surely do.

In 1982 my aunt bought a beautiful remote ranch in the mountains of Wyoming. She told us, her nieces and nephews that she was buying the ranch as a refuge for a time when the United States fell. I remember many of my cousins laughing about that but I grew still and pondered her pronouncement. In the last two years all of those who inherited this ranch have remembered those words and we all believe her words might come to pass. For what is happening in this war is many who feel the enemy is ourselves, not those who want to kill us. And if a nation is not unified it will fall.

p>I pray everyday for my country, its leaders, and my President for God's protection and blessing. I do feel that only those of us whose children are involved are the ones sacrificing and seeing the true picture of what we have to lose. I hope that voters will understand what we have to lose when they vote in November and vote accordingly. May God awaken us before it is too late. br> -- Beverly Gunn br> East Texas Rancher br> Military mom /p>

America has not really won a war since WWII. America has become to politically correct to go in and get the job done and have less loss of life for American soldiers. Yes at least Bush had the backbone to fight back, unlike Clinton that just called it a law enforcement problem. But he is not really fighting to win and come home.
