Would we pay more to be safe from terrorists? Would we pay more to get rid of cancer or some other medical problem? Darn right we would!<BR/><BR/>We are regular watchers of The Military Channel in our household, and watch as the military displays high tech bombs and aircraft and tanks. And I'm thankful that we have these things to help keep us safer and give our troops the upper hand.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10967546226890745086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-67617925369338673102008-04-17T09:16:00.000-06:002008-04-17T09:16:00.000-06:00The B's - Montreal game 4 (won 1-0 by Montreal) wa...The B's - Montreal game 4 (won 1-0 by Montreal) was one of the best hockey games I've seen in years.

That's an important aspect of hanging on to your "rabid left-wing nut" membership card these days: Insisting on comparisons that aren't possible. I remember when our economy was saved by President Clinton's "stimulus package," something that might be explained by those who cooked up an answer to Winston Churchill's analogy of the gentleman sitting in the extremely large bucket lifting himself by the handle. We don't know what the economy would've done without that, and it's impossible to say whether it'd be humming along wonderfully today if our troops weren't in Iraq.<BR/><BR/>And yet these have to do with why The Left knows what it pretends to know. It all rests on an alternate timeline that is out of our grasp forever. For a further explanation, you'll have to look to them, because I can't provide one, and neither can any rationally-thinking man living in a non-Mobius world.mkfreeberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13265933747192068934noreply@blogger.com
