all of you conspiracy theory, appeasement-seeking, isolationist moonbats on the left finally have your day to rule the govts of the west(god forbid), and the Islamic extremists kick you in the teeth while you arent looking, are you going to finally feel like you might have been wrong? Is that what is ultimately going to take for you to let go of the Bush hate? I find it so amusing that you think of yourselves as being different from those of of us on the "not going to bend over and take it in the shorts" side. You do realize don't you, that if they ever have the chance to do so, the Islamofascists aren't going to give a flying *uck about who you voted for as they videotape your beheading, don't you?

May I guess that you are a Republican? I don't think of myself as a "conspiracy theory, appeasement-seeking, isolationist moonbat", but I guess that is the way you see anyone who is outside your narrow, point of view. I can only assume that you subscribe to Bush's famous: "You're with us, or you're with the terrorists". With that little gem, Bush alienated over half his allies. Hate Bush? Do you really think Bush is running things? God help us.
I've voted Republican in the past, but that is usually because to vote for the alternative here in the U.S would leave us defenseless. Do I think President Bush is doing a bang-up job as the Commander in Chief at the moment? No, I don't.
I don't have a "your with us or against us" mindset either. But the Islamic Terrorists surely do. I can only point to their video taped messages telling the West to convert to Islam or pay for it in this life and the next, to prove that point. The U.S. is used to dealing with problems while the rest of the world sits back and complains about how we deal with it, but makes no suggestions on alternative ways of dealing with them. Other than the usual negotiate-concede-reward-encourage methods...
What I mean by the Bush hating is that the left-wing extremists love to try to put all of the blame for the middle east squarely on his shoulders. They come up with outrageous theories about how this administration planned 9-11, and anytime videotaped admissions come from Al Qaeda or any other nut-job group come out, these same extremists will say that the tape is faked or it is a CIA/Mossad production. The terrorists aren't idiots, it doesn't serve their interest to attack us while a lamb like Clinton is in office, that's who they want in office so they can go about their terrorist business un-impeded by things like prison time, or smart bombs. So here comes someone like Pres. Bush who hits back just as hard as they do, well of course they now have to do all they can to make him look bad, because with someone like him in office their plans for world domination get sidelined as they look for caves to hide in. Mark my words, if our next president is soft on terrorism, or concedes even one inch, Al Qaeda will be the first to extole the new presidents virtues, and laud them as progressive and as a great peacemaker, while still planning their next big attack, especially considering we will be disarmed of things like funds tracking and warrantless wiretapping.
The "play-nice" approach with the extremists doesn't work, Clinton showed us that. So does it make me narrow-minded to say we should kill them first, and we should kill them over there rather than here in our backyard? If it does, so be it, I'll proudly wear that moniker.
Just my two cents...
