I was about to discontinue this blog because I can't seem to keep it up, only someone said she liked old fashioned liberals which made me change my mind. There aren't very many of us around now. Lots of really extreme ones willing to toss out the baby with the bath . . .cliche but it works
What is extreme right now would be the requirement that we should IMMEDIATELY withdraw from Iraq. It's the numbers that are upsetting them. Comparing them to other losses in other tragedies as in Pearl Harbor and the Twin Towers.
It was OK to lose a couple thousand of our young men and women in that meat grinder but hey, it's 2800 now and this month of October is the most disastrous one yet. It's not OK anymore so bring em all home. We don't belong there and never did, but some of our legislators couldn't plan ahead and like the republicans voted for the war in the beginning. Conservatism must be catching.
That's not only impractical and impossible but not thinking ahead or planing how it should be done. Planning has been the problem with the republicans all along let's not take it on and make it our problem too.
You would think that the business world which is so good at planning how to make money and how to ecxpand their range etc could plan a war . this with an unlimited budget, and the freedom to do it as they think best. . . war powers act.
all that has happened is that the Bush administration has taken advantage of a law to create license.
Doesn't anyone care anymore enough to use their heads to exercize common sense???
