I just wanted to say that if you haven't seen Ania Egland's response to that stupid MoveOn ad where the mom won't "give" John McCain her son, make sure you go check it out.

It is this simple lesson that the moveon types seem incapable of grasping. My brother and sister soldiers and their families have given much to the peopld of this nation...whether they deserve it or not. And the morons like the woman who won't "give" John McCain her baby seem to believe they are somehow entitled to the liberties purchased by the soldiers of the nation. They, like Ms. Moveon Lady, believe they should have it all given to them but have nothing required of them.
It is a simple concept....the Bible expresses is as it appears above...today folks abbreviate the same idea as There is no such thing as a free lunch.
Well Lady...this IS (for the moment) a free country (purchased by the actions and sacrifice of a lot of folks willing to do what it took to obtain it) and you may not "give" little Alex to the nation. And when your ilk reach critical mass in this country you or your offspring will find yourselves "giving" your babies to Allah.
Evil has something you lack: An action plan to achieve its objectives.
Doubt me? Go read a little history. Chamberlain didn't believe it (Peace in our time) That little denial gave us Hitler. The USA didn't believe it on Dec 10, 1941 (the day before the attack on Pearl Harbor for those of you who don't/won't remember history). Try to imagine this. TOTAL: 2,403 KIA, 1,178 WIA. That is in ONE day. I'm sorry...perhaps more aptly described as LESS THAN 2 HOURS. Along with the following.

But that's OK...Mrs. Moveon Lady. At least you will have your video on YouTube after Achmed has beheaded Alex. Watch it until you feel better.
Um, Tim? The day before the attack on Pearl Harbor was Dec 6th, 1941. Otherwise, pretty good.
As for Ania, it does seem those who have not grown up in this country appreciate our freedoms more.
