What JD said! You are a true gentleman and it’s always a pleasure to read your rational and thoughtful posts. Thank you and may God bless you and keep you safe as you serve our country.

I got engaged, bought a house, saw the birth of my first nephew, and watched my parents buy their dream retirement home in Arizona.

If you’re life, Oliver, isn’t going the way you’d like it, then stop working for a pathological liar at some sham Soros front organization and get a real job.

Tell that to John Street. He’s ten times dumber than Dubya, and a hundred times more racist, and he was elected twice as mayor of the fifth biggest city in the country, largely because of racist voters who are dumber than he is.

As far as the deaths in combat, unfortunately that is something that we must accept at this point. The focus should be on how we move now to more effectively stabilize the region so we can get the hell out of there. I apologize for not having all of the slick keyboard skills of a professional web pundit, but I think like a Soldier. HOW and WHY we got there is irrelevant to me at this point, I ll let the smart guys argue about that one. My focus is on getting the job done in Iraq as soon as possible, and shoring up the border and the security in Afghanistan as quickly as possible.

Amen. Thank you for your service and have a wonderful Christmas.

Yes, indeed. But can anyone tell me why there is so little being said
about the archetypal post-election goings-on in Iraq. The Wingers
are curiously silent as the head-bandages of democracy continue to
unravel.

Once again, thank you for your service. If you make it to Afghanistan, look up my little brother in Kandahar. Keep your head down, and your spirit up.

All in all, pretty good year I would opine….

Great, thanks. Lets count our blessings. We’re all rich Republicans. Myself, I am THE MAN. Bush elected two terms. Republican Congress. New Republican supreme court justice, the Democrats who might be able to win a national election are out of favor in their own party, Howard ‘can’t win’ Dean (say no more, say no more), Perp Walk’s double naught babe is posing in her PJs for national mags, we’re now able to spy on left wing hippies, and Operation ‘Trojan Hillary’ is proceeding as planned.

Yes, indeed, it was a very good year.

Dugger, Look Upon Me Ye Mighty and Despair for I am “The Man”

I am not sure whether or not this was a “good” or a “bad” year for the American people, and I am not sure what factors we should take into consideration. Katrina was a terrible tragedy, but I am not sure that we can put the entirety of the blame on the Federal Government. I think that the State and Local governments jacked that one up pretty good as well. As far as the deaths in combat, unfortunately that is something that we must accept at this point. The focus should be on how we move now to more effectively stabilize the region so we can get the hell out of there. I apologize for not having all of the slick keyboard skills of a professional web pundit, but I think like a Soldier. HOW and WHY we got there is irrelevant to me at this point, I’ll let the smart guys argue about that one. My focus is on getting the job done in Iraq as soon as possible, and shoring up the border and the security in Afghanistan as quickly as possible. As a soon-to-be Company Commander, and yet again a candidate to go to Afghanistan in the Spring I wholeheartedly admit that I have tunnel vision. I do like your blog, and I am a registered Democrat, but the reactionary antics of my party sometimes make me ashamed. Despite all of the cries about the blurred vision and oversight of the Republican Party, it seems that some of the alternatives we give, (on the few instances that they are even offered), seem to be quite myopic in comparison as well.

I am by no means a Conservative, but I do say that talking about “rich white guys” in such a careless manner is self-defeating. If the world is all about wealth and lack of melanin, then why should anyone try to better themselves. You are much too intelligent to go down that road. By all means blog away, express your dissent, but to start bleating about how “The Man” has us down is really perplexing.

There are a lot of things that deserve attention, I’m not a conspiracy theorist by any means, but I find some of the things that have gone on in the Federal government to be questionable, and as Americans we have a right to question our government. We do not, however, have the right to exaggerate, spread hysteria, and go hippie every time things do not pan out the way we want them. The Republicans are whipping out tails now because they are organized and they seldom denigrate one another. Think about that the next time you talk about “Hanoi Joe”. What was that all about anyway, once we can get attached to the idea that to be a Democrat you don’t have to accuse everyone of being racist, try to make a case that all Republicans are hell spawn, and attempt to put daisies into the barrels of M-16’s the Party will be in much better shape.

WTC bombing, Oklahoma City bombing, Khobar Towers bombing, Hurricane Fran, embassy bombings, Hurricane Floyd, Cole bombing. Hundreds dead. Hundreds more wounded.

Those must have been bad years right?

Do you ever stop to consider you freaking stupid you come off sometimes?
