During the Vietnam War, the anti-war movement destroyed any chance of winning , while the rest of us did or said nothing. That was the beginning of the liberal movement in this country.

We let the media and the liberals control us, just as we are doing now. What has happened to the American spirit? Are we in agreement with those that call the president and our troops traitors? Do we agree with liberal Democrats that we are losing in Iraq? Does anyone really believe liberals want us to win in Iraq?

They want the United States to lose this war!

When President Bush took down Suddam Hussein, he gave Iraqis a chance for the freedoms we take for granted. Remember the torture perpetrated by Hussein’s sons? And the chemical warfare used on the Kurds? And the thousands of murdered Iraqis? The Iraq war is a just war, for these reasons alone.

The whole world stood by while these atrocities were committed. America took a stand.

Iran is trying to block progress by the elected government in Iraq. Their biggest allies are liberal Democrats in our country. Iran and al-Qaida want power. So do liberal Democrats in Washington.

With presidential elections coming up next year, it seems they are all jumping on the “Trash America” bandwagon! I will not vote for anyone that hates our country as much as liberals do. They are destroying our country and undermining our efforts to win this war.
