For those Bleeding Hearts, with the Big Mouths about Iraq Lose of Lives.

Today is a Time to remember what the Cost of Victory is and not just in
money. It was a very costly Battle in lives lost but people fought
knowing the risk of death was very high. They went willingly and Stopped
the Mad Men of the Nazi Germany.

God Bless You; "Gold Star Heroes!"

No doubt Ol Thom

Today ~ 1944 - In Operation Overlord, Allied invasion fleet (over 2700
ships and craft) land troops on Normandy beaches, the largest
amphibious landing in history.

The first use of floating tanks, Ducks, Mulberry harbors, and the
birth of the computor.
Can you imagine almost 3000 ships and boats in a 10 mile streach.

Have you ever been to Normandy Ol Thom? Seems you might have the cash
on hand to take a few nice vacations.

Thom,

While I honor those who died in battle, I do not honor those who lied
to us about Iraq, which resulted in additional and needless deaths. If
that makes me a "bleeding hear," so be it.

Thom, that says it all there. Hitler and Stalin were on the same side. They
were both our enemies. Why pick Stalin over Hitler?

empowered more so than most any other royal figure in Europe...

Nope, the Governor General has dismissed one government after that
govt lost the balance of power and was unable to govern yet refused to
resign.
Opposition had blocked supply so the govt was unable to do simple
things like pay the public service.

God Bless a Minority Government..... it's the closest thing to "safe"
governing you can get. Our GG has dismissed parliament on several occasions
based on non confidence votes.

D-Day was an incredible undertaking and few people today

who were on the spot at the time and tipped the balance
should be recognized & remembered as heroes.

No one gets "dragged down" that isn't willing to be. Bush is the leader
*you* deserve, as well. If your candidate didn't win, you have no one to
blame but the failure of your political constituency to be victorious.

And while you're being a jerk and lumping me in with Ann Coulter, perhaps
you'd care to be lumped in with George Soros, Al Franken, and Michael Moore?

Bob, I'm hoping you can explain this to me... Why is there a "Religious

There is a religious left, it's not very big. If you consider
environmentalism a religion then it gets bigger. The left have their own
forms of delusion too. I'm beginning to believe the right's delusions are
more dangerous. Some say the world will end by fire, some say by ice...

In the words of the Great Barry Goldwater:

"Those who seek absolute power, even though they seek it to do what they
regard as good, are simply demanding the right to enforce their own version
of heaven on earth. And let me remind you, they are the very ones who always
create the most hellish tyrannies. Absolute power does corrupt, and those
who seek it must be suspect and must be opposed. Their mistaken course stems
from false notions of equality, ladies and gentlemen. Equality, rightly
understood, as our founding fathers understood it, leads to liberty and to
the emancipation of creative differences. Wrongly understood, as it has been
so tragically in our time, it leads first to conformity and then to
despotism."

"I cherish a day when our children once again will restore as heroes the
sort of men and women who - unafraid and undaunted - pursue the truth,
strive to cure disease, subdue and make fruitful our natural environment and
produce the inventive engines of production, science, and technology."

"We see, in private property and in economy based upon and fostering private
property, the one way to make government a durable ally of the whole man,
rather than his determined enemy. We see in the sanctity of private property
the only durable foundation for constitutional government in a free society.
And beyond that, we see, in cherished diversity of ways, diversity of
thoughts, of motives and accomplishments. We do not seek to lead anyone's
life for him - we seek only to secure his rights and to guarantee him
opportunity to strive, with government performing only those needed and
constitutionally sanctioned tasks which cannot otherwise be performed. "

"I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. And
let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no
virtue."

1- I am not at the "opposite end of the political spectrum"
except possibly with regard to principle

2- My behavior is very considerably different. You and Dave
are the only ones who think I insult others for disagreeing,
and then only some of the time. Everybody knows that you do
it all the time.

What Max believes is that Doug has nothing resembling a sense of humor.
Doug is an angry, strident whiner, and while he claims to interject humor
into his political diatribes he tends to allow his angry side too much
latitude. He's the sort we all tend to back away from when he's ****ed.

Further I am well aware that Rush and Ann are entertainers first, last, and
in between. I've never taken any political pundits seriously, nor do I take
our Congressmen and Senators seriously, at least not until they attempt to
run for higher office. What's amusing is that I can rip Ann Coulter a new
one and Doug will continue to blast me as a right-wing wacko nonetheless.

I couldn't agree more. Doug doesn't listen to me--he assumes that I'm a
right-wing fanatic, when all along I've been either playing devil's advocate
or blasting the extremes equally. His mind is made up--don't confuse him
with humor or satire.

Politics is a sordid business. The players are usually some of the most
flawed individuals that occupy space on the planet, and that applies to
politicians everywhere, not just here. They are easy targets. Good theater
aside, they are certainly yanking a lot of citizens' chains collectively.
The chain around Doug's neck is getting elongated from being yanked so
frequently and firmly.
