Re: "Are you awre this country was foundedon WAR? It was called the Revolutionary War. 1775-1783. Britain was the enemy."

Founded in a war, yes. Of course.

So what? Isn't that how MOST countries get founded?

"Principles? What "principles" were we to use after Pearl Harbor? 911?"

The SAME great American principles we've *always* had! Why do you ask?

"Sit there, take it, and do nothing?"

Of COURSE NOT! Don't be RIDICULOUS!

"Seems to be YOUR answer."

No it ISN'T. I have NEVER in my ENTIRE LIFE suggested anything that dumb... nor am I now. You are hallucinating, I guess.

"You think we would have kept out principles by lying down and letting the militaristic Japanese, the Nazis, or the Islamic fundmentalists walk over us."

OF COURSE NOT!!!!!!!! WHERE DO YOU COME UP WITH THIS BOGUS CRAP?

"Don't bother to reply until you are ready to face reality, not that fantasy world you liberals construct where all men are good and none are evil or ambitious."

SOUNDS LIKE *YOU* ARE THE ONE 'LIVING IN A FANTASY WORLD', 'CAUSE YOU HAVEN'T GOTTEN ANY POSITION OF MINE CORRECT *YET*. (PS --- you needn't confuse me with any 'liberals' you may think you know... for I ain't. I'm a LIBERTARIAN, a FISCAL CONSERVATIVE... while only moderate on social issues. You are most likely a FAR BIGGER enabler of the Big Daddy and Big Mommy Government --- therefore a 'liberal' --- then I am!)

In case you haven't NOTICED, you nit, I AIN'T 'anti-war'... just anti-failure.... And I'm against ABANDONING our liberty in the FALSE HOPE that clinging to Authoritarianism (to some 'strong man', no doubt similar to so many we have fought and beat over the years...) will 'save us' from anything. It won't. That's the appeal Authoritarians ALWAYS make, and it's false, same as always.
