Our president is not responsible for “the hell that has broken out all over the Middle east” and neither is America. The liberals and the democratic party are not responsible. The jihadists are responsible. Our country has only one choice, one chance, and that is to take the fight to them. Appeasement does not work. Islamic extremists want us dead because of who we are, not because of what we do. Changing our behavior will not save us unless we all convert and become a Muslem nation.

It’s a common liberal theme to blame the US for all that is wrong in the world. According to the democrats the U.S. is responsible for: 9/11, incompetent U.N., Katrina, North Korea, Iran, Iraq, and the list goes on and on. This is not only tiresome it’s simply flat wrong and only underscores the total lack of patriotism and the intense self loathing that the left basks in.

Christians and Hebrews are taught to convert but if you cannot then tolerance and peace. Islam is fundamentally different–convert and if not die. There is no tolerance for those who do not decide to follow Mohomed, only death. Islamic extremists are responsible for killing our soldiers and causing war in the middle east, not our president.

Regarding “desperate to hide your failures” these images are available to anyone who wishes to see them. The military has not hidden them. It is the Democrats who seek to EXPLOIT them for political gain–it was a political ad after all. Americans are bravely dying in World War III and Democrats are exploiting them for political gain. That’s an undisputable fact. I’m glad to see it makes you uncomfortable enough to try to shift blame. The rest of us are uncomfortable with it too, but we prefer to let the blame lie upon the shoulders of those who created the advertisement.

“[F]rauds like you encourage Hezbollah’s actions…] demonstrates a complete lack of understanding of Islamic extremism. An infidel such as myself or any other conservative, or you and any other liberal means nothing to an Islamic extremist except as someone to convert or kill. The only way we “encourage” them is not by our actions, for our actions mean not one wit to them, the way we encourage them is by the mere fact that we EXIST. Our existence is enough. There is no way to negotiate or co-exist with that. When the enemy says “convert or die” there is no room for compromise.

There are many Americans that simply do not understand this basic fact. I think it’s mainly due to our western religious background as well as our liberal public school system that have pounded into our heads since infancy that we should be tolerant and accepting of others and their differences. This is a GOOD thing for our society. It’s a fundamental reason why America, the melting pot, works and works as well as it does as a democracy. But it is also a huge weakness in the war on terror because it makes it extremely hard for Americans to get their heads around the fact that no changing of our behavior will alter the fact that Islamic extremists want to kill us. There is this mistaken notion that we just need to show more tolerance, or cow-tow more in the UN, or act more humble and contrite internationally, or not defend ourselves once attacked (as others urge Israel to do) and that the Islamic extremists will be happy and we’ll be safe. That’s wrong because we are still not Muslem and as long as we are not Muslem we must die. The answer is to become Muslem or fight. Our president, our country, have chosen to fight. Freedom. Amen.

You ask one question (who sent the soldiers) but don’t go any further (why were they sent). Do you think it might be something besides “steal the oil” and “avenge daddy”?

You concern for the United States and its soldiers is disingenuous. It’s clear for instance how much you care about the “corpses”. To you and those who made that commercial dead soldiers are nothing but a bludgeon to beat your political adversaries with.

You also apparently live in a bubble. The “hell” that has “broken out all over the Middle East” has been going on in one form or another for 1400 years. Jihad, anti-semitism, and Arab-Israeli wars apparently don’t fit in your bubble. Read some history. Maybe you could make some room if you jettisoned a bit of the Rumsfeld/Cheney bile? Don’t transfer your frustration at how small a person you are onto others. These men are only the most recent in a long line of civil servants trying to navigate the US through the barbarism that continues to stream from the cesspool Mohammed created.

What encourages our enemies is weakness. The kind of weakness that sees our soldiers in only two roles: at home or in coffins. Some things are worth fighting for. Sometimes a bigger fight later can be prevented by a smaller fight now. Did these things not occur to you?

“So who’s selling fear? What else could be the purpose of such imagery [flag-draped coffins of US soldiers]?”

You gotta be kidding! Ask yourself one simple question. Who’s idea was it to send the occupants of those flag-draped coffins to Afghanistan and Iraq, to be shipped back in unidentifiable bundles, while you whine about or sneer at other people’s patriotism? It wasn’t my idea, buddy. It was yours. You supported all the Rumsfeld/Cheney non-visionary decisions. I didn’t. And now you dolts are so desperate to hide your failures, you’re starting to blame the Democrats for the corpses you created?

I got an idea. Why don’t you host a flag party and invite all the corpses you’ve created to sit around and sing patriotic songs with you? Good idea, huh?

You and your president are the chief architects of the hell that has broken out all over the Middle East. (Sure, Hezbollah’s an army of lunatics and psychos, but, then again, frauds like you encourage Hezbollah’s actions, same as you encourage Israel’s, same as you encourage the actions of our troops.

You’re just another blabbermouth who’s ruined the United States. Go back to Tasmania with Michelle Malkin.
