<< Certainly there cannot be a conservative on this thread who is still under the illusion that they can "unite" with the American left for the fight against world terrorism. >> So, what are you suggesting? How we determine "who" is with the American left? Are you trying to split our country, when we most need to stand together? << The American left has not refrained from stabbing this country in the back, they are simply looking for a new angle of penetration. >> Who has stabbed this country in the back, other then the terrorists? << Any crusade, war, struggle, etc. against the terrorists of September 11 can never be successful if the main enemy is not first driven completely from their position of influence in Washington. >> Who do you want to drive from Washington? Who is this main enemy? << The threat to the US is primarily an INTERNAL one, represented by these arrogant Stalinists. They must be defeated first, if the terrorist enemy is to be faced effectively... >> Sounds like you want the old Senator Joseph McCarthy hearings back. Do you want hearings so that all members of our military, police force, fire departments, etc. can be interogated, prior to going after the terrorist organizations? What you seem to be advocating is not only against the basic freedoms of our country, but is divisive, and would be of great help to the terrorist manics we need to destroy. OTOH, I was very impressed with George Bush's speech tonight. It was short on political bullshit, and was very direct, bold and clear to our enemies. It is refreshing to have a leadership that has backbone! We, and the rest of the free world, need it badly right now.

Come on, that's total crap. That is guaranteed to fall on deaf ears and brand you as an "ignore" aramus for a lot of people that might miss something of value that you say later. Divisive talk like that is worthy of Stalin trying to justify the purges. Do you really think there's anything that will stop this drive to blast the enemy out of every corner of the globe? We have heroes in this country, and that includes "lefties" who have their hearts on their sleeves, want to talk about options, even if they're wrong, and even tho' it makes people like you nervous who doubt the conviction of this country. We need every one of them, to be vigilant of their surroundings, be aware of the enemy, and be involved. Our only protection for our neighborhoods is to know our neighbors, so let's be grownups instead of schoolyard insults. We don't have the luxury anymore of alienating our neighbors. What do you want to do, hole up with plenty of ammunition and wait for the Commies to show up? Where have you been? The enemy is here, and he doesn't vote or call into talk shows. He goes to our schools and delivers pizzas, and it might be a liberal that finds out about the bomb or the hijack plans. Sounds like more of the mindless bill/hillary jihad. If you were on Flight 93 sitting next to a Liberal would you jabber "see! Clinton's fault! Clinton's fault!" or would you help take care of business. I've got a neighborhood here where my family and friends live. I fail to see how your kind of attitude is going to help
