When you liberals grow up, you will learn that the most important part of problem solving is to identify the correct problem.

That’s why liberalism is not the answer but is, in fact, the REAL problem.

Liberalism, in a nutshell, is the ability to throw all of your problems in life, real or perceived, off of your shoulders and onto to someone else’s. You basically shirk the responsibilities for your own life, waiting for someone else to handle them for you.

This cartoon is the supreme example of what liberalism stands for.

Instead of participating in the continued greatness of the United States of America, the liberals have instead chosen to make themselves such an overbearing burden on the rest of us, that they have become the nation’s full time job.

We have to devote our resources to a bunch of whining slackers, losers who wail at the very thought of having to lift one finger in service to their own cushy little existence.

If you don’t like the president than put your message forth in a way that convinces the majority of your fellow citizens to vote for your ideas.

If you lose, and America REALLY IS YOUR NUMBER #1 CONCERN, would you not accept defeat and come together with the winners, the majority, and work towards the common goal of this country’s greatness?

Or would you throw a childish, immature fit and blame your leaders for EVERY PROBLEM? PROBLEMS THAT YOU DO NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO HELP US SOLVE.

You liberals are America’s #1 enemy.

This country was not built by slackers, it was not made great by whiners and it has not survived 230 years burdened by a bunch of little babies.

Grow up, Luckovich. Pick up any civics textbook, you coddled, pampered elite sissies should have plenty of those lining your walls, and read all about Civic Responsibility.

Because you don’t know anything about it.

You’re nothing but a growth on America’s greatness.

Things you will never hear a liberal say:

What fires these fights? It is, according to Hanson, “the soul of battle.” This is a “rare thing indeed that arises only when free men march unabashedly toward the heartland of the enemy in hopes of saving the doomed, {{{when their vast armies are aimed at salvation and liberation, not conquest and enslavement.}}} Only then does battle take on a spiritual dimension, {{{one that defines a culture,}}} teaches it what civic militarism is and how it is properly used.”-NationalReview

Yes, the majority of my fellow (thinking) citizens are voting against this “president” Indeed, the English Parliament (one of our our allies)is being called into session to discuss they man whom they now call an “idiot” Jefferson said the foundation of a democratic society is an informed citizenry…given the diatribe by “Andy” the foundation, as may “Andy”, has some cracks.

Very well said, Andy!!!

Here’s the Bible verse for the day:

“Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean says that “what’s going on in the Middle East today” wouldn’t be happening if the Democrats were in power. Yes, if the Democrats were running things, our cities would be ash heaps and the state of Israel would have been wiped off the map by now….

“But liberals can never abandon the idea that we must soothe savage beasts with appeasement — whether they’re dealing with murderers like Willie Horton or Islamic terrorists. Then the beast eats you.

There are only two choices with savages: Fight or run. Democrats always want to run, but they dress it up in meaningless catchphrases like “diplomacy,” “detente,” “engagement,” “multilateral engagement,” “multilateral diplomacy,” “containment” and “going to the U.N.”

I guess they figure, “Hey, appeasement worked pretty well with … uh … wait, I know this one … ummm … tip of my tongue …”

Democrats like to talk tough, but you can never trap them into fighting. There is always an obscure objection to be raised in this particular instance — but in some future war they would be intrepid! One simply can’t imagine what that war would be.

Democrats have never found a fight they couldn’t run from.”

Was it subconscious on your part that Uncle Sam looks like Bin Laden? Of course it could be that Bin Laden has disguised himself as Uncle Sam and Bush put a damper on his nefarious plans to penetrate the core of our society and culture. Somehow I doubt that that was your intention.

That’s why liberalism is not the answer but is, in fact, the REAL problem. You liberals are America’s #1 enemy.

The wanker has spoken. So what’s wrong with these statements? Hmmmm… Well, as a liberal, I can say that there’s not one single sitting legislator, congressman, senator, president, governor, or city council member currently in office that I either voted for or supported. It has been this way for six years. So, whatever THEY screw up is clearly not of my doing. (How’s the DEBT coming, s—t for brains? How’s the WAR coming, vienna-sausage-pr—-?)

Now, I write to them of course, asking them to take a stand or vote a certain way. They do take a paycheck and an oath to represent me after all, so I write. But strangely enough, Wanker, they have never once voted the way I asked them to in any of these letters. Not ONCE. In fact, they make it VERY clear to me in their responsses that THEY DON’T CARE WHAT I THINK. So, essentially, literally, and whatever way you want to measure it (anally for Andy), MY power and influence on public policy is ABSOLUTELY POSITIVLEY ONE HUNDRED PERCENT ZERO. Let me break this down s-l-o-w-l-y for the retard: Unless you want to recant your endless ramblings about personal responsibility, THE PEOPLE IN POWER ARE RESPONSIBLE, not the people with NO power.

So, filthy mouthed lying wanking moron spewer of hate known as Andy, HOW THE HECK do you come off blaming US for ANYTHING? Seriously. You’re sh-tting me, right? You’re blaming US? The people with no power? DANG you’re stooooooooopid. Now please go enjoy a 6000-calorie, high-cholesterol breakfast. We’re taking bets on which goes first: your colon, your heart, or the blood clot that’s on it’s way to your brain right now.

If you believe liberals are the biggest evil facing the US today… then you are a dumbazz.

America has yet to learn its lessons from a century of imperialism… and now we’re suffering. We are now fighting people we helped arm, anger and alienate.

Do our enemies deserve death? Certainly they do and we should be more than happy to provide the vehicle for it… but to combat this problem by combat alone, and not reaching out to moderates, forcing Isreal to live up to the UN resolutions (just like we try to force Arab nations), and not use our economic power (in a positive way)… we are only allowing extremists to build larger, smarter and more angry armies.

We CANNOT win this war with conflict along, but must use force only when ABSOLUTELY necessary (like Afghanistan) and using diplomacy and cooperation.

American (especially idiot wingnuts) tend to believe that America operates in a vacuum and ALWAYS forget the lessons we’ve learned for decades and decades of interference in the Middle East, Asia, Latin America and even on our own continent.

The current administration is short sighted, inflexible and has solved not ONE problem we face in the US.

The Democrats probably aren’t the answer either, but for DAMN sure the Bush regime is not.

Yeah, Andy, America’s greatness? What greatness do we have? The only greatness that I have seen is the ability to p** of the entire world.

This country was just fine up until the 20th century when we decided to go to war at the drop of a hat.

We should go back to isolationism and let other countries deal with their own problems. Why do we need over 750 military bases in over 140 countries? Last I heard the cold war was over. All we have become now is Team America: World Police.

Do you think that is not possible to solve problems through acts of peace and negotiations?

Also, if you think about it, has the United States finished any of its goals that it set off to accomplish in the “War On Terrorism(tm)”. Have we caught Bin Laden? No, we stopped looking for him. Have we setup a stable government that can defend itself in Iraq? No. Did we find any WMD’s which was the original intent of the war? No. Was Iraq tied to Al-Queada? No.

What has the War on Terror accomplished for the American People? What has it done for the people in New Orleans? What about our education system? Our health care? Why is it that we have to keep pouring money into our military and this war when people are suffering back at home?

If we were a great nation, I wouldn’t have to ask those questions.

Kudos to the Bush Administration! (you know, the ones we are supposed to rally behind because they are so good for America)

They have invaded and are occupying a country that had minimal ties to terrorism and minimal weapons capability. Those very efforts have served to strengthen Iran, a country whose ties to terrorism and nuclear weapons programs are about 1,000 times worse than Iraq.

“There is little doubt that Iran has been the chief beneficiary of the war on terror in the Middle East,”

So, by turning Iraq into a terrorist training ground and strengthening Iran, someone tell me again how great the Bush Administration’s ‘War on Terror’ is succeeding????

I guess you’re just “out of touch with the mainstream”, dude. If you want to get your letters answered you might have to move.

Don’t feel bad. When I lived in Maine, Olympia Snowe never did anything I asked either, and she is theoretically a Republican, whom I voted for. Later, when Dole ran against Clinton I voted for Dole, but left the box next to her name blank. Which left me highly skeptical of pregnant chads and the presumed intentions of voters.

But getting to the essential flaw in your argument, which is who needs to take RESPONSIBILITY, it is the PROPAGANDA war that we are losing and your side is clearly in control of that. Why even former President Jimmy Carter is hawking Hezbollah’s wares.

That’s not enough evidence for you? Check out idiots like WooT above, who see no signs of America’s greatness.

This is for you:

{{The plot to blow up the bridge was uncovered in an NSA wiretap that could not have been preceded by a warrant. Federal investigators had no idea what they were looking for when it was discovered or where to look in the first place.}}

{{The NSA trolls through millions of phone calls and asks its sophisticated computers to discern patterns that might be suspicious. Apparently, the words “Brooklyn Bridge” (which must not translate well into Arabic) surfaced in one call, and that was enough to alert Police Commissioner Ray Kelly to flood the bridge with cops. (The alert was required by the Patriot Act, which mandates the sharing of such information, formerly limited by bureaucratic jealousy and concern about compromising sources.)}}

Then the NSA intercepted a call saying that the bridge was “too hot,” obviously from the terrorist. Finally, by interrogating a prisoner in Pakistan (an interrogation allowed by the Patriot Act without an attorney present), the authorities got the name of the plotter and arrested him. Chillingly, the terrorist had full plans for the bridge in his apartment and had correctly identified a spot on the bridge where a well-planted explosive would cause its collapse.“>http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=24015)

w00t, to be fair, “free healthcare” is not always either. “Free”, in the Communist countries, means that you don’t wind up getting paid for the work that you do, and the government keeps the profit, later turning it into “free” healthcare. Kind of like the gym at my university is “free” in the sense that I don’t have a choice but have student fees deducted from my paycheck. As for healthcare, believe me, I’m sure Cuban healthcare is nothing to write home about. Back in the Soviet Union we had free dental care. We also didn’t have Novocaine. Trust me, you’d be willing to pay a LOT of money to get some anesthetic when your teeth are getting drilled or pulled.

I agree that America needs to have some sort of basic healthcare to cover everyone who can’t afford it. But I would not use a Communist country as an example. Canada, on the other hand…

(Almost forgot “The Bay of Pigs” and the nuclear showdown with the Soviets over Cuba). After Jummy embarrassed this country with the hostage crisis, Clinton went off “nation building” in Kosovo.

Where George Bush went wrong was to emmulate the Democrats thinking that he could do a little nation building in the Middle East. Real Reagan Republicans would never had sanctioned staying in Iraq after they had been neutralized as a threat to this country.

Once we determined there were no WMD left in the country, it should have been “Oh, so sorry, we’ll be going now!” But for some reason, the administration felt that if they could establish a democracy in a rabidly tribal state, that would be a good thing for world peace. How foolish.

I think the definition of war has changed. It used to be that in a war, you did whatever you had to do to bring the other side to its knees.

Putting aside the fact that Iran and Afghanistan are not the same country, the Soviets weren’t fighting the Mullahs as much as they were defending the Marxists.

The Soviet war in Afghanistan was a nine-year war between the Soviet forces and the anti-government Mujahideen insurgents that were fighting to depose Afghanistan’s Marxist People’s Democratic Party of Afghanistan (PDPA) government. The Soviet Union supported the government while the insurgents found support from a variety of sources including the United States and Pakistan

The point of my link, which by the way is an interview with a highly educated and informed individual who is clearly more knowledgeable than you or I on those particulars, was to illustrate another example of Useful Idiots at work.

By Lord Help Us August 23, 2006 01:27 PM What, GWB doesn’t support our troops???? GOP Presidential candidate Governor George W. Bush: According to the Houston Chronicle: “Bush, in Austin, criticized President Clinton’s administration for not doing enough to enunciate a goal for the Kosovo military action and indicated the bombing campaign might not be a tough enough response. ‘Victory means exit strategy, and it’s important for the president to explain to us what the exit strategy is,’ Bush said.” -Houston Chronicle, 4/9/99

This is a “complaint?” To call for more bombing?

Clinton oversaw an economy that was built on speculation, fueled by dot com cash burns, anyone who doesn’t know this is a damn fool: {{{{The “dot-com bubble” was a speculative bubble covering roughly *1997*<———–2001 in which stock markets in Western nations saw their value increase rapidly from growth in the new Internet sector and related fields.}}}}

Enron’s bankruptcy ( I didn’t know Clinton ran Enron??? - and didn’t GWB actually bankrupt a few energy companies that he DID own?),

{{{Enron officials have acknowledged that the company has overstated its profits by more than $580 million since *1997.*<————}}} Hey, as-shole, If we’re going to blame EVERYTHING in this time and day on the president, then suck it up, loser.

and for 9/11 (which, last I heard happened about 9 months AFTER GWB was inaugurated)!!

Does the war in Iraq make you feel safer? Do you feel any safer when you go to the store, or send your children off to school? With the capture of Saddam Hussein can you go to work thinking that you won’t get blown up by an IED on the highway?

The Iraq war has done nothing more than stir up a hornets nest in an already volatile situation in the Middle East. We are now less safe than we were before September 11th. We have more terrorists and states that want to see the destruction of the United States than ever before. Do you know that there were more than a million people that marched in the streets of Tehran after 9/11? We’ve lost support like that now, ever since we called them an “Axis of Evil™”

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see that Bush Policy has failed this nation and the world. We could have gone about things the right way, but we chose to do the wrong thing by going to war with Iraq and giving up some of our freedoms and privacy. All it would have taken was the capture of Osama Bin Laden and we would be out of this mess already. Why did it take the deaths of THOUSANDS of our troops for an unnecessary war?

I love hearing the Rush-Limbaugh-wannabees pound on liberals. It takes real critical thinking outside the bounds of popular media (yes, Mr. Limbaugh is part of the popular media) to create and define your own position on any of our shared issues in America. BTW: Liberalism in the United States of America is “a broad political and philosophical mindset, favoring individual liberty, and opposing restrictions on liberty, whether they come from established religion, from government regulation, from the existing class structure, or from multi-national corporations”(Wikipedia, 2006). I think the reason the interpretation for liberalism has become what it is could be due to the Republican view that less rules are good, as long as the results are in the best interests of the Republicans. Both philosophies tend to support deregulation, smaller government, etc. It’s the “existing class structure” piece of the liberal philosophy that seems to stick in the political crawl of the Republicans. By definition, the first waves of settlers to the New World were liberals in their own countries. Just food for thought: critical thought…

Should the woman that was raped have her child? Why can’t a woman choose what she wants to do with her body? Why should a child be born into the world when it will have to face hardships. What if the parents weren’t ready to have a child? There may be one reason you can think of not to have an abortion, but there are thousands of reasons that might cause a woman to have an abortion. One that comes to mind is the potential death of the mother during birth. Would you want your wife to die in a pregnancy and quite possibly the child?

“If you don’t believe me that the primary concern of liberals that brings them to oppose the war in Iraq is MONEY and not the welfare of our troops then just read WooT’s comments today. I trust that you have already checked out Ned Lamont’s campaign ad.”

BD, one of the many numerous and major problems with the debates (and I use that word very loosely!) on this blog is that, some people here, like our leaders in DC and elsewhere, including the press, feel compelled to talk in sound-bites.

For example, can anyone really dispute the overuse and misuse of labels like conservative, liberal, and moderate? I have certainly been guilty of it. It is infinitely easier to pigeon-hole an enormous group of people and try to make them appear to all be the same and all think the same.

Your insistence that all, or most, liberals (or even just the technique of using no modifier) is a perfect example. Just because you can find an example like w00t, or even numerous examples to support your position, you can’t just make that next leap and say well, this must apply to all or most of them.

My supposition is that some liberals oppose the war primarily because they are against anything and everything this administration does. Some oppose it for financial reasons certainly. Some for humanitarian reasons. Some because they’re pacifists. Others for god knows what. And, yes, even though you hate to admit it, IMHO, some liberals are opposed the war primarily because they don’t want our young soldiers and marines killed and maimed without it being necessitated by the most compelling of reasons. It really serves no purpose to try and figure out the percentages.

And besides, do you honestly believe that ONLY liberals are opposed to this war? NO republicans? NO neo-cons? NO conservatives? NO moderates? And not for many different reasons? JUST liberals? Not likely, especially since the numbers, like it or not, are growing dramatically.

How would you like it if some foreign country came to the United States and tried to influence our government? It kind of happens today with the influx of illegal Mexicans that come into the county.

Yep, could be one of yours.

Does starving to death, through the most cruel way imaginable, a woman who only needed the same care given to a 6 month old toddler make you feel safer?

WTF?

Does forcing Manhattan office workers to decide whether to burn to death or jump 85 stories to escape the pain, instead of killing a scumbag terrorist you have in your sights, make you feel safer?

Not with OBL on the loose and you could give a s-hit about catching him.

When you publish staged photos and fake stories that portray a pack of wild killer terrorists as “victims” after they force children to stay in buildings where they just shot rockets at Israeli citizens, knowing full well that those children would be dead within minutes, make you feel safer?

Nope, you made Iran stronger. Idiot.

Does speaking to a crowd of Muslims in Saudi Arabia telling them about how bad the Americans treat their country with no evidence of this charge, like Al Gore did, make you feel safer?

Change your diaper coward.

Does bad mouthing the very soldiers who risk their lifes every day to protect your ability to badmouth them, in front of the whole world, ruining their lifes even as they protect yours, make you feel safer?

w00t asked, “WHY ARE WE THERE”

I’ll take give it a stab. The Weapons inspectors were kicked out in October of 1998 and this sums it up; “Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process.” Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 1998.

Note the part about making a mockery of the weapons inspections process and how the statement was made while inspectors were banned from Iraq. The thing is, people obligate us to screw around with the UN, and their resolutions, while most Middle-Eastern countries couldn’t give a rat’s a-ss what the UN says. Look at Lebanon’s recent demand for a UN cease fire, agreement thereto and a quick defiance thereafter. Now Hezbollah can re-arm and prepare for the next attack without worry of being disarmed by the host country, Lebanon.

The Iraq Liberation “project” will take at least a generation to succeed or it can instantly fail upon our early departure, it is a long term goal. But, the dems have politics to play now. What changed Nancy Pelosi’s mind about the effectiveness of UN inspectors or Saddam’s intentions?

I’m not sure what to make of this whole Lieberman thing, although I must admit I have hardly followed it at all. I always thought he was OK. For example:

He has said we have to accept responsibility for global warming; voted yes on banning drilling in ANWR. He voted yes on reducing oil usage by 40% by 2025 (instead of 5%). He voted against Gale Norton as Secretary of Interior. He has even gone as far as saying he wants to raise mileage standard to 40 mpg. Lieberman has been a vocal critic of Bush’s environmental policy.

He voted against an amendment in the constitution that would prohibit flag burning. He also voted no on a constitutional ban of same-sex marriage.

He supports embryonic stem cell research.

And the list goes on and on where he has opposed this administration on a wide variety of other issues. The ONE thing they like about him is that he supports Bush’s policies in Iraq. And I find myself laughing now that he is now a poster boy for the republicans!

I’m guessing that Connecticut voters outed him in the dem primary, primarily because an anti-war candidate was more to their liking.

The only other real negative I know about Joe was his support for the administration’s horrific and still somewhat inexplicable handling of the Terry Schiavo situation. And that may have doomed him with some voters…

Wrong Scooter, WRONG WRONG WRONG!!

What was the ORIGINAL intent for going into IRAQ? That Iraq had viloted its terms of not producing or having WMD’s. What happened? There wasnt ANY WMD’s. NONE.

“Although evidence of WMD was searched for by the Iraq Survey Group, their Final Report of September 2004, stated “While a small number of old, abandoned chemical munitions have been discovered, ISG judges that Iraq unilaterally destroyed its undeclared chemical weapons stockpile in 1991. There are no credible indications that Baghdad resumed production of chemical munitions thereafter, a policy ISG attributes to Baghdad’s desire to see sanctions lifted, or rendered ineffectual, or its fear of force against it should WMD be discovered.”“

The funny thing is, we SOLD Iraq chemical weapons during the Iran-Iraq war. So you know what, we’re, THE UNITED STATES, is partly to blame for the deaths of 300,000 kurds. So yes, they DID have WMD’s cause we had the receipts to prove it.

Wow lookie here

Oh, and whats this

Don’t worry there are PLENTY of footnotes.

Then what did it shift to? Liberation of the people. So because they lied to the public, they had to switch to something nobel that everyone could agree on. Everyone forgot about the WMD’s because it was like telling the people in the US “we’re saving puppies”.

Why should anyone bother to reply to you? You are an admitted Liar and a fraud. We’ve been through this all a thousand times. The answers are out there but you’re too busy fretting about how much the war costs, and how it affects little selfish WooT’s personal needs and desires for you to be interested in the truth.

Getalife,

Hypocrisy runs deep with you doesn’t it? I’m still waiting for your answer about how you would have prevented the Brooklyn Bridge from blowing to smithereens, taking thousands of innocent civilians with it. All you can come back with is “It’s a lie and leave me alone”.

Yet, flaming hypocrite that you are, you sure are demanding about WooT the Liar getting a response to his demands.

As for feeling safe, the thought of any Democrat, with the exception of Zell Miller or Joe Lieberman as our Commander in Chief is terrifying. You and They would put an unelected delusional Marxist fraud like Judge Anna Diggs Taylor in charge of those decisions. Does that make you feel safe?

Heck, Clinton wouldn’t even let Bush’s advance team into the White House until the courts had decided the Florida fiasco - the results of which were inevitable because the Florida Legislature was going to decide it eventually anyway.

And what did Bush get greeted with? “W”s missing from typewriters, trashed offices, and all sorts of stuff we expect from juveniles. Is that your definition of “gravitas”? Does that make you feel safe?

Yep, I bet there would be a job for you and Midori and the rest of you freaking losers in any Dem administration. Which one would you like to have? Secretary of Food fights? Maybe Midori can be Social secretary - I’m sure her diplomatic skills would wow our allies and enemies alike.

Those same Iraqi Survey Group documents you quote said other things too. the Kay and Duelfer Reports said Saddam saw the Oil for Food Program could be corrupted to buy favor from veto carrying “allies” on the Security Council. With our corrupting “allies” protecting Saddam from invasion he had every intention of reconstituting his WMD programs once sanctions were eroded away.

You scream what was the original intent and say it was because of WMD’s. While WMD’s were part of the rationale for going to war, the purpose was to remove Saddam and his sons from power once and for all. Do you remember the 48 hour ultimatum?

We had the receipts… we had the receipts. Do you remember the Ayatollah Khomeini and the threat that he posed to us back then? I know there is a way you can look at the Iranian revolution as being our fault too.

Guess who!

To wit, they’re claiming there is no connection between the war on terror and the war in Iraq, and while they’re all for the war against terror — absolutely in favor of that war — they are adamantly opposed to the Iraq war. You know, the war where the U.S. military is killing thousands upon thousands of terrorists (described in the media as “Iraqi civilians,” even if they are from Jordan, like the now-dead leader of al-Qaida in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi). That war.

This would be like complaining that Roosevelt’s war in Germany was hampering our ability to fight the real global war on fascism. Or anti-discrimination laws were hampering our ability to fight the real war on racism. Or dusting is hampering our ability to fight the real war on dust.

The first post, Dan’s I think, is the latest Republican talking point that is being sent to all papers, magazines, etc., merely slightly rewritten to portray fresh thought (!) from these writers. In fact, all of us who are liberal should be proud that we at least have the energy to investigate, weigh the facts and make reasonable decisions rather than spout platitudes from the losers who have lost this nation. Remember, Bush knew on 10 August 2001 that Bin Laden was determined to fly planes into buildings. His response: I’m on vacation. I think the actual quote to the NSA official who read Bush the memo in person as required by security was “now you’ve covered you a*, so you can leave.” And, you think liberals hate this country.
