Did anyone else notice the tough talk on the day after the President's State of the Union speech? Tough talk should have been the substance of the President's speech - not the response from the enemy. But could you imagine the response if Bush had said "You are facing the (American) rage"? Harry Reed and Queen Bee Pelosi would be all over the news announcing that Congress wouldn't go along. The New York Times front page would feature an article "Bush Insane?"

I honestly can't believe what I'm witnessing. When did we become such a nation of pussywimps? Once upon a time, when the United States was being founded there was a noble notion of "dying for your country". Today the noble notion is "don't fight for any reason at all, even if the cause is justified". We're so consumed with "white guilt" we can't even stand up to a group of violent tan skinned people who practice a different religion and have funny accents. If we're not supposed to judge people by their skin color then why are we?

Wars (like sports events) are won by those who want it. The Americans in the Revolution were outgunned, undermanned and undertrained. The British enemy had superior numbers, better training and plenty of supplies. Records of British commanders reflected their frustrations as Americans didn't "play by the rules". Americans fought from places of cover. They wouldn't just go meet them in a field to be gunned down. Al Queda is not going to come out and fight us either for the exact same reason. During the early years of the Revolution, the Americans suffered terrible losses and defeats. They turned to their patriotism and the belief in their cause to keep them going. Same thing with al Queda - they're turning to their religion for their solace.

And well they should, THEY'RE LOSING EVERYWHERE. Terrorist cells are being destroyed in Iraq. Afghanistan is pacifying so much, it isn't even in the news anymore. Somalia (the place that originally inspired Osama bin Laden) has been over run by the Ethiopian army: the Islamic Courts are all but gone.

But these things are all meanlingless. All you hear about is the bad. All you hear is cut and run. How to surrender the quickest. The War on Terror is (pathetically) going to be the first American war that produces a future President who proudly announces "I wanted out first".  

Bottom line: These terrorists are going to hit us again. I don't care who's the President, who's in charge of Congress, who's the front runner on "American Idol", etc. We're going to get hit again because WE'RE NOT TAKING THEM SERIOUSLY. Don't you understand, they have no respect for us at all. They sent 20 people over here to hijack planes and fly them in to buildings. These plants lived with us and worked with us and were friends with some of us. These plants might have been someone you talked to every morning when you were buying coffee at Starbucks. And then one morning, they got up and did it. That is the reality that we're facing right now.

The shadow of the cold war has so indoctrinated the left they can't see anything outside of the workers vs. the owners. The hero of their fable is always whomever they perceive to be poor. They see these terror tapes, with people sitting in the sand, flies swirling around their heads and think they've found their hero. They never once stop and consider all the money spent on the machine guns, the RPGs, the vehicles, the training, etc.

Most nerve wracking of all is that lefties keep comparing this to Vietnam: a conflict that (for the US) was 20 years long, against a Communist (the heroes of that story) regime fighting for control of a geographic area. The war on Terror is five years old, against an Islamic force, fighting for control of most of the world. In Marxist philosophy, the only thing that motivates anyone is economics. That's why the liberal mind locks up like an old computer faced with new hardware when dealing with Islamofascists. In Vietnam our military learned how to deal with terrorists. Terrorists learned how to play Liberal politicians like fiddles.

Sadly it's gotten so outrageous, you can't even tell it like it is without "being insensitive" (wow, what a crime). Remember those Mohammed pictures a while back? Those pictures came out at the same time Madonna was performing a concert where she put herself on a cross a la Jesus Christ. Two incidents, two religions. Which one inspired riots? Which one prompted European nations to forward non-denigration laws? Which one was dubbed "free speech" and which one was dubbed "the responsibilities of speech"? And between Bush's State of the Union and al-Zawahri "You will all pay" is garnering the greater criticism? Which is considered the more out of control?

The funniest part of all is that this piece will generate TONS of hate mail from pathetic, whining little lefties who'd never dare say anything like that to the radical Islamists who would kill them without a second thought. Lefties who (despite all their patriotism) would never dare to publish a column like this about anyone other than the United States.

It's really pathetic. We're the most powerful nation on Earth and thanks to a bunch of pathetic weaklings in our government are looking at getting our asses kicked by a ragtag group of homeless thugs. No wonder they've got the balls to make threats.

I've heard Hillary Clinton has a "test!cle lock box". I just had no idea how big it was and how many pairs of testes she had.
