To Conservatives Who Think We Should Invade Iraq Again

Question for Conservative about the war in Iraq?

1. Saddam had training facilities for terrorists. FACT. I was there.

2. Saddam had weapons of mass destruction in violation of the UN Treaty AND our Cease-Fire agreement from 1991. I do believe Mustard Gas still qualifies and 55-gallon drums of it is certainly considered a "stockpile". FACT. I was there.

3. Humanitarian reasons alone should warrant support for our actions. Millions of oppressed people who are now free. Remember the first vote? Iraq had a higher percentage of eligible voters turn out than the US does on a Presidential Election. They put their lives on the line to vote. We gave them that.

Why do Conservatives want war?

Because war is profitable.

Most conservatives are not Christians but people who use the name of the Christ to justify actions and positions that would make Jesus vomit. The relationship between "Christianity" and "Conservatism" is neither Christian nor conservative. It's a long and sordid history and well documented.

And all of you that are answering "because we were attacked" or some nonsense like that, first of all, Iraq didn't attack us. They didn't even have the resources to attack us. Second, you clearly have a different idea about the teachings of Jesus than Jesus did.


To those saying "we're not pro-war, we're pro-freedom", nobody was threatening our freedom. Once again, Iraq didn't have the resources. They couldn't even keep the lights on, nevermind attack US. If our freedom is threatened, it's from within. Isn't it funny how we're being told we were attacked because we're "free" and that is the excuse for gutting the constitution and expanding Presidential powers to unpresidented levels? If Al Qaeda wanted to kill our freedoms, this administration is doing their best to give make Osama's dream come true.

Liberals (and Conservatives), why do lefties hate Bush so intensely?

This was by a poster on the History Channel message board - and this guy made a lot of sense - so I thought I would show you his post:

Why do Liberals hate President Bush so much?
By John Hawkins


Why do they hate him so much? They'll give you every reason in the book for it, but in my opinion, most of it is really all about four things:

#1) A lot of Democrats felt cheated after Gore lost in Florida. Were they cheated? Absolutely not. But, they FELT cheated and they got angry at Bush because of it.

#2) Many Republicans absolutely despised Bill Clinton and part of the animus towards Bush is just payback. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that this is really the primary driving factor behind the impeachment talk. They're desperate to try to impeach Bush, for anything and everything they can come up with, because the Republicans impeached Clinton.

#3) During the Vietnam war, the libs protested incessantly, they spit on soldiers, and they became radicalized. It's the same dynamic this time around, except back then, it was Lyndon Johnson who was really responsible for getting the war into full swing. So, there was more bi-partisan blame for them to spread around. The war in Iraq is Bush's war all the way and so most of the venom is getting aimed at him.

#4) The Democrats are out of power and that's making them more bitter, more willing to accept conspiracy theories, and more angry at the guy who has beaten them, George Bush.

Bonus Answer: The left has actually been nasty, angry, and vicious for a long time now. For example, they absolutely hated Ronald Reagan's guts and had few qualms about saying so. So, why didn't people notice it more back then? Because there wasn't a new media out there to report it and the old media, as they do today, protects "their side." A kooky or vicious comment by a liberal is much, much, more likely to be buried, minimized, or completely ignored by the MSM than a similar comment by a conservative. The difference is that now there's an alternative media that reports things that would have been swept under the rug 10 or 20 years.
