Not to distract or anything from your campaign to bring hope and change (or is it change and hope?) to America, but they don’t speak Arabic in Afghanistan. I guess you read that in the same place that you read…

Well, in Lebanon it looks like the terrorist Hezbollah is about to either overthrow the Lebanese government, or make them utterly impotent in challenging Hezbollah’s plans to attack and, eventually,……

It takes vim and vigor to resist and fight back, and the sooner the better in organizing the conservative movement’s momentum in the USA. Besides our own agenda’s strength of purpose to retain the original character of our Constitution in daily life, it would also be effective to utilize propaganda from Europe, the liberal’s own favorite example, why EUROPE chose to CHANGE and place their hope in conservatism now.

Also, the true living and breathing interpretation of our Constitution is our daily life; for, our country’s ability to adapt to new times and accept new people relies on our original Constitution’s integrity being respected, honored, and kept securely in moto perpetuo. RESPONSIBLE GOVERNMENT, sadly lacking today, provides Constitutional requirements instead of Progressive demands and fads that displace “We, The People” from ownership of private property and free enterprise. It has been a long time the Progressive practice of our government for each branch to attempt BEING another branch. Most notably, we bemoan activist judges legislating from the bench. We also have a Speaker of the House Pelosi who would usurp the Presidency in international policy and diplomacy. We have legislative bodies who attempt to coerce all sorts of ideas, including “hate laws” and McCain’s campaign reform that strongly defy our Bill or Rights civil liberty of free speech. We have had Presidents who abuse the executive order to deny Americans of their own land deed rights.

A French foreign exchange student explained it with a lovely diagram. The French positioned all of their troops at their border with Germany. Germany invaded France via a simple detour through their common neighbor. It stands to reason, either the French generals were very stupid, or the French leaders wanted to allow the German invasion’s success at once without the bloody battles.

Reason #314 why Obama is simply not qualified for the job he’s applied for.

For Obama, we aren’t fighting al-Qaeda (the really bad muslims) in Iraq, unless they carry an al-Qaeda ID card to prove it. Under Obama, fighting terror will degenerate back to Clinton’s policy of fighting jihad with law enforcement. That policy really worked out well for us.

By contrast, Barack Obama has spoken of pulling our troops out of Iraq, reducing military spending, and replacing our national interest-based foreign policy with a multi-lateral approach. In doing so, Obama has demonstrated a disturbing naiveté regar….

Video: Roosevelt talked to Hitler and Tojo?
During Barack Obama’s victory speech in North Carolina last night, he offered an argument about his much-criticized assertion that he would hold talks with America’s enemies without preco…

This what happens when you schools don’t teach History!

This also is what happens when revisionist History is
taught!

Obama’s viewpoint on talking to America’s enemys,”NUTS”!

Only because History is taught so poorly in America can Obama’s outrageous gaffes go unnoticed.

I remember watching RWR’s farewell address, and he urged the teaching and appreciation of American history and heritage.
I also remember Jay Leno (or his lackey) going to both the USC and UCLA graduations with a picture of FDR to show, and no graduates could identify it.

I’m not an overly religious person but God help us if this guy somehow becomes POTUS.

People probably think the Cold War had something to do with Climate Change and FDR is an express package delivery line.

Barry is counting on the historical stupidty of the citizenry to win.

So far his strategy is working brilliantly with the Dems.

It will crash on the rocks of reality in the Fall, should he get that far.

Or Stonewall Jackson isn’t a tax preparation service!

Great post. You and many others are the reason I come to Hot Air.

If it wasn’t for this bastion of common sense I think I would go crazy.

Semper Fi

Blame America LAST

I doubt Obama could have pointed to Korea on a map before he began running for president.

Didn’t he spend part of his childhood in Asia? Obama has a lot of faults, but he probably looked at a few maps when he was young.

How do you lose a race with no finish line and no rules? You don’t lose and you don’t win… you either keep on running forever, or you decide that there are better things to do with your energy.

Victory is the ability to impose your will. The absence of victory is defeat and will be viewed as such my friends and enemies alike. Before lacing up our boots and running for the door, you should consider the likely outcome of a premature US departure.

It is quite reasonable to expect the middle east to become a less stable and more dangerous place in the ensuing vacuum. Moreover, our political process will be watched with bated breath for clues as to which way the political winds will blow.

If Obama is, one can assume that Iraq will rapidly unwind as the various internal factions and external regional actors begin to position themselves for our departure.

Korea is a fine example which disproves your political equation. It is also one to which McCain made reference to and was shamelessly twisted by Obama’s campaign. I doubt Obama could have pointed to Korea on a map before he began running for president.

And Harry Truman made the decision to drop the bomb, not FDR.

Yes, he did, and he made the decision after trying to get the Japanese to commit to unconditional surrender, and after appointing several commissions (composed of both scientists and top government officials) to consider if using the A-bomb on Japan was the right thing to do. Truman ultimately decided to use the bomb, primarily because he believed it was the best alternative available at the time. He wanted to avoid the many American and Japanese deaths that would result if the U.S. were forced to invade mainland Japan. Truman decided that using the A-bomb would end the war with fewer deaths, and that it would also serve as a warning to the Russians, who were becomingly increasingly aggressive in Europe. Historians (with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight) continue to debate the wisdom of Truman’s decision to use the A-bomb. However, contrary to the ravings of the ignorant and dim-witted “Reverend” Wright, it was never a decision that was made “without batting an eye.”
