That does not speak very highly of the left and being their own person. I think you have culled out the entire point of the article. Each person is responsible for his or her own actions, no matter who they are or what they do. Let me use a Washington Beltway analogy: Can I slide through a rus
Wow, an aspect of the military that I have never adequately explored. Thanks for the insightful article!
That was the reference to the visit... if I were to continue on to compete for NCO of the Quarter for my Brigade, I would have to go to Brigade Headquarters (conveniently located near two of my favorite people in the world). Yeah, that was an obscure reference indeed. It's been more than six years since I k
Now I know where he got the inspiration from. Apparently Joe Klein would blame Rush Limbaugh for Michael Moore. Without Rush's powderkeg of hatred, misogyny, and bombast, there would be no Michael Moore to light the fuse.
Very cool for you! YAY! Sorry I'm not as familiar with your life as others are -- what kind of work were you looking for, and what job did you end up taking?
There are frightening similarities indeed. Both eat from the public trough.
SC: This man is an idiot. or; so I feel. Apparently I'm an idiot too, because I have got ethical qualms about embryonic stem cell research too. These stem cells are going
The problem is with people like Edwards, and many democrats for that matter, just don't believe that fighting terrorism is a reality. Do candidates like John Edwards, who thinks we're fighting a trite "bumper sticker war", or Ron Paul, who thinks we brought 9/11 upon ourselves, really think they're tapping i
COL, good to have you here. You gave me a double-eyebrow raise with your response, mostly because we are actually discussing a topic that I feel strongly about. Anyone that would argue we are not in danger from the radical Islamists is both dangerous and disconnected from reality. The sheer magnitude, the dispersion and th
The reason I posted this is I keep seeing bumper stickers that say "Endless War". And it remindeed me of John Edwards' comment about how the GWOT is a 'bumper sticker' slogan.
I think there's a very compelling reason to dub this a "Global War on Terror". There is no one country with which we are at war. 9/11 caused us to go to war with Afghanistan, which at the time was harboring the perpetrators of that horrible crime. Yet al-Qaeda exists in so many other nations that we did not want to restrict our emphasis onto one easily

I really haven't noticed them here in Texas. A Fourth of July barbecue three years ago at Fort Hood, TX, brought an absolute swarm of those things descending on the partygoers. Horrible whizzy things, biting and irritating.
That is a brutal prank. Especially if the camera is just... about... to... take the picture!
i think you HIGHLY underestimate the middle and the independent majority in this country. I probably highly do, but is Mike Bloomberg the answer for disgruntled, disillusioned "middle and independent" voters?
Forum me!
The four elements of counterterrorism policy -- attacking the roots, capabilities, intentions, and defenses of terrorist groups -- the most important in my mind is capabilities. While not as easy to enact as others, there is something to be said for effectively staving off a terrorist's capability to destroy and kill. Capabilities are the terrorist's abili
To the forums with thee, mighty article!
Michael Bloomberg, mayor of New York City, has announced that he has left the Republican Party and become an independent. Or I guess I should say: Independent (note the capital "I"). This is so he can run as a third-party candidate for President of the United States in 2008. He even plans to pony up his own money, claiming that this makes him beholden to no special
Good luck... no liars and no sickos okay?
You are in good hands, it is clear. But that's both good and possibly bad news: good that you didn't get the boot, but can I assume you did NOT get NCO o' the Quarter?
Get well soon! Hang in there. A couple years ago I discovered that laying on the couch is not so bad.
As for outdoor activities, I love golf and camping. I plan to take the family out camping at least twice this summer, not including my time spent as a Cub Scout leader in our local church. I'll return to golfing after my graduate course is over in August. Maybe my wife will get me some clubs as a graduation present. Indoor recreation? I love racquetball. I stink at basketball and other indoor sports. Non-sports activities: singin
Terrorist groups are a loose collection of bad people, working under the tolerance of slightly less bad people, in communities full of ordinary people. If those other people knew with certainty that terrorism will provoke their doom, they'd hand terrorists over by the truckload. The day that world leaders say "Oh God, they might
Welcome Neighbors from the South. Latino Newcomers. Culture Club Fans... oops, sorry. I was listening to my MP3 player.
