p>McCain appears to be in the right place at the right time. All Conservatives and Liberals whom wish to protect their rights, their families, their property and America's continued effort to build a better and greater country should vote for McCain. The past failures of Liberalism, Socialism and Communism here and throughout the world, to protect the governed, are unmistakable. br> -- Howard Lohmuller br> Seabrook, Texas /p> p> DAMAGES br> Re: Jeffrey Lord's Reparations for Al Qaeda : /p>

Two very interesting articles in yesterday's TAS. Mr. Lord's "Reparations for Al Qaeda" was a brilliant comparison of the shoot straight, ride hard and speak the truth mentality of the average citizen of this country during WWII and the don't hit me, air conditioning loving, Mr. Rogers outlook of the TWOT. And Mr. Tyrrell's "Captain McCain" would make a wonderful biographical campaign flier.

A comment on the Reparations piece. The Liberal fifth column intelligentsia is still alive and well in this country. These are the same people, and their descendants, who embraced international communism, disregarding the fact that the intelligentsia were the first ones on the trains to the gulags, re-education centers and mass graves. They are at best idiots and at worst traitors. They actively work against the interests of this country and its citizens, but are the first to cry for its protection when faced with the barbarians inhabiting most of the rest of the planet. And they will spend any amount of other people's money to buy the "good will" of those same barbarians. That an Uber Liberal such as Senator Obama would side with them should come as no surprise to anyone.

As to Senator McCain, he is not a conservative. He has actively taken positions opposed to those usually considered to be conservative. He votes more often with liberal Democrats than Republicans. He is opposed to core conservative positions on taxation, immigration, global warming and government regulation. As to his military service, Gen. Wesley Clark has a much better resume and I don't see him being asked to run on the Republican ticket. I understand that you feel, and rightly so, that John McCain can not win election without a significant conservative turn out in his favor, but please do not try to sell him like a used car with the American flag and the Colonel Bogie March in the background. It is not dignified. Be honest. A vote for anyone other than McCain is a vote for Obama. Enough said. And if you say that long enough, you just might get a significant number of Conservatives to throw the lever for McCain.

p>Both good pieces, but for strikingly different reasons.
