Democrats, for the last 75 years have been the ones who looked to intervene in other nations conflicts. If you remember, President Bush ran on "no more nation building". There is no way to argue that Iraq wasn't about nation building. <BR/><BR/>As to the national civilian service thing, it scares me to. But Bush did similar things, and actually activated a combat brigade for domestic use in September when the financial crisis became noticable. <BR/><BR/>We've got two parties that are exactly the same. Its a shame that no one seems to notice.mundiejchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17029540431840334762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6821288.post-37620427388731937502008-11-11T01:54:00.000-05:002008-11-11T01:54:00.000-05:00Justin:There was a little war in Vietnam as I reme...Justin:<BR/><BR/>There was a little war in Vietnam as I remember. As to spending, I'm sure Obama will do his share with all the entitlements he wants to enact. One thing that scares me is his idea of a civilian national security force that's "just as powerful, just as strong and just as well-funded as the military." Does anyone know what that means?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6821288.post-84106384651247681862008-11-10T21:10:00.000-05:002008-11-10T21:10:00.000-05:00What you fail to realize, anonymous, is that "cons...What you fail to realize, anonymous, is that "conservatism" that has been tried and has won elections over the past 25 years is NOT what conservatism is today. Its why I can't listen to Rush without getting angry anymore. Conservatism used to be about distrusting government, now its just distrusting democrats, and supporting policies that just ten years ago, the party would have been incensed about. Prescription drugs, iraq war, spending spending spending. Sure isn't conservative.mundiejchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17029540431840334762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6821288.post-11058932086461114852008-11-10T20:20:00.000-05:002008-11-10T20:20:00.000-05:00Like Rush has said, "conservatism wins everytime i...Like Rush has said, "conservatism wins everytime it's tried." The Republican party has got to get back to more conservative principles. This will probably happen at the mid-term elections. We have only ourselves to blame. McCain was not a conservative. Obama won on tax cuts for 95% of the people. We know that's not going to happen but the masses believe it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6821288.post-54407432302877203642008-11-10T13:25:00.000-05:002008-11-10T13:25:00.000-05:00Brian-"Re Palin: She certainly attracted all the c...Brian-<BR/>"Re Palin: She certainly attracted all the conservative mothers and the men who had one or more eyes, which statistically is a reasonably large group.

What is the likelihood that she was chosen for these reasons alone?<BR/><BR/>I was appalled by the "Letter from 2012". It was shameless fear mongering of the type that hinders the kingdom, not advances it. It supports the premise that Christians "check their brains at the door" and only respond from an emotional position. Unfortunately, the primary emotional position is fear (as was pointed out in "Bowling for Columbine")<BR/><BR/>Re: the beginning of the end of the Christian Right's influence in power. What if it indicates the beginning of the end of the Christian Right (not just its power), or even Christianity as a dominant group? Are the statistics reflecting the fact that church attendance is decreasing, and that Christianity is being replaced by secular humanism?Brian Highthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07306357650551548310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6821288.post-82532404012414956212008-11-10T12:41:00.000-05:002008-11-10T12:41:00.000-05:00Barna Group just published some more detailed stat...Barna Group just published some more detailed statistics as well.<BR/><BR/>www.barna.orgEric Livingstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06771209613921239363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6821288.post-7043571911286851462008-11-10T11:53:00.000-05:002008-11-10T11:53:00.000-05:00This is a brilliant and insightful analysis Phil. ...This is a brilliant and insightful analysis Phil.
