OT: “Obama administration warns public to expect rise in US casualties”

[temeculaguy]

This is why I hate politics. No matter if it’s your guy or not, if you don’t like war you wont like war, no matter who is at the helm. I wasn’t a fan of the last guy and the new guy wasn’t my first pick but I beleive neither man is an evil man and neither wants their soldiers to die. Obama has the reigns now, he gets info that none of us do, so as much as we’d like to second guess him, our opinions are uneducated. If a conservative and a liberal both feel we need to be somewhere in the middle east I almost feel that’s enough check and balance for me, I’m done doubting and I firmly believe they both have my safety in mind. If the most liberal president in decades feels we need to kill some terrorists, we probably do, I’ll do what I can, in fact I’m probably more supportive than I have ever been because it feels unanimous. Instead of worrying about strategy, how about this:

The funny thing about soldiers, I haven’t heard them whining about putting their lives at risk, they probably don’t want you doing it for them. When will it be enough to convince you that despite the history of the world, sometimes it boils down to the good guys and the bad guys. Why is every war vietnam, where are the wwII comparisons? Anybody feel that was a waste of time? We don’t all get to be the president, but we get to vote and that day is over. Regardless if you voted for him or not, he is our guy right now and he’s a pretty bright guy, so back the home team or get off my island (sorry, shameless Braveheart quote).

Most people prefer to believe their leaders are just and fair even in the face of evidence to the contrary, because once a citizen acknowledges that the government under which they live is lying and corrupt, the citizen has to choose what he or she will do about it.

To take action in the face of a corrupt government entails risks of harm to life and loved ones. To choose to do nothing is to surrender one’s self-image of standing for principles. Most people do not have the courage to face that choice. Hence, most propaganda is not designed to fool the critical thinker but only to give moral cowards an excuse not to think at all.”

Allan,

I agree with you that HuffPost is a biased source, but he was quoting Obama, not some HuffPost blowhard. Care to comment on the Obama quote itself?

I don’t know why anyone would care when righties carelessly throw around treasonous words. Just proves that they weren’t brought up right.
