  • ‘Its the Peace that Sucks’

    King points out a great Thomas Sowell piece.

    Free societies have prerequisites, and history has not given all peoples those prerequisites, which took centuries to evolve in the West.

    However we got into Iraq, we cannot undo history–even recent history–by simply pulling out and leaving events to take their course in that strife-torn country. Whether or not we “stay the course,” terrorists are certainly going to stay the course in Iraq and around the world.

    Political spin may say that Iraq has nothing to do with the war on terror, but the terrorists themselves quite obviously believe otherwise, as they converge on that country with lethal and suicidal resolve.

    Whether we want to or not, we cannot unilaterally end the war with international terrorists. Giving the terrorists an epoch-making victory in Iraq would only shift the location where we must face them or succumb to them.

    King finishes this way: “Which is exactly the message Mark Kennedy is giving voters.”

    Do you really want to send someone to Washington who doesn’t even want to talk about the danger of us letting the terrorists win?

    No matter the race, no Democrat is willing to do what it takes to defeat the terrorists. They are cowards and unwilling to due what we need to to protect future generations.

    Any vote for a Democrat is a vote for vulnerability and a vote against victory. PERIOD!

      Doesn’t this post go against your own anti-SCAB linking edict??

      Moreover, did you mean “Republican” in the last sentence?

      PJ,

      Yes, but it was too good. I will give myself one demerit.

      Whoops.
