Why has this once magnificent and glorious nation (United States) started "wimping out", damn liberals.

Question

We used to be a fearless nation, a patroitic nation, a nation with a single mind set on victory. No retreat, no pulling back no matter how diffuclt or endless the task may seem. But in this day and age the damn fools are debating on whether to bring back the troops before they are even sent out. During war time a nation must unite in support of ones army, taxes and drafts should be instated in order to support that army. Every possible oridiance should be evaluated and executed in order to achieve victory. How the hell can one achieve vicotry if it citizens are divided and fighting a war within themselves. But in the end of every war the deserving will win, those determined, restless, vigilant individuals who put every ounce of there blood and strength on the line for the glory and proseprity of their land . But foremost the strength of nation will reflect upon the strength its army.

Answer 1

I've often wondered when, exactly, the puss ification of America started. I've been unable to figure out what trend, event, etc first caused this however there has been an increasingly steep decline in the superpower that America once was. Back in the day, people would get in fights, get up, brush themselves off and make it an effort not to lose another fight in the future. Nowadays, no one fights anymore. Instead, they bit ch and whine and sue. The increase in frivolous lawsuits just goes to show you how weak this nation has become. How petty and lazy people have become. Before all this, if you were fat, you hit the gym and worked out. Today, people sue companies for "lying" to them about their food and making them fat. I'm sure when these fatties win their lawsuit, where's the first place they head too? McDonald's. There are still those in this place that know what it means to be an American. Proud and even at times stubborn, however resilient and unafraid. I feel that those days are long gone and all we'll have to look forward to is more whining and moaning about petty trivial things that will get blown way out of proportion. It seems to me that it's no longer about the road less traveled anymore. Now it's about the quick and easy way out and the quick way to the money. It's far easier to whine and moan from your couch than it is to actually go out and do something about it. I fear that people like this are the dying breed. I'm fairly certain that life, in the near future, will be filled with nothing but SPAM email, Celebrity news as the "breaking" story of the day and a bunch of fat lazy morons hurling complaints and moaning about what "should" be done and the lack of people "not making it happen".

Answer 2

So you want to have a totalitarian Government? I don't.



You want to let King George tell you where to go and what to do? I don't



Name me one war that this nation as fought that 100% of the population of these United States has supported?



NONE! Every war this nation has fought in has had at least 15% of the population against it.



We live in a Represetative Democracy we elect Congress to reflect our will. If you don't like the congress today be assured that there will be a new election in at least two (2) years in which all of the House and at least part of the Senate will be up for reelection and every four yearss we get a chance at perfoming a coup d'tat which will totally change the government of this nation.



So if you my freind believe that this country is going in the wrong direction and you do'nt vote shut- up because you have gotten what you paid for... Nothing.



It may suprise you to know I don't support this war but I do support the troops that this administration has sent in harms way. I also know as you may not that to disengage from the conflict in Iraq and have our forces leave that sad country would take at least 12 to 24 Months, That means to crate up pack up and load all the equipment that we have in Iraq at this time and then to convoy it back to Kuwait.Said Convoy would be 50 Miles long and it would take 3 days for all those vehicles to get into Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. During that time all the troop that are there now would be guarding the convoy and thusly be sitting ducks for Al Quieda. This is based on Army maunals and Petagon estimates of a withdrawal. Maybe we should be talking about how we are going to leave Iraq.



Plus I don't know about you but I'm getting tired of seeing car bombs explode in Iraq and then hear how the surge is working. The Surge is working but it is too late we should have done this surge 2 Years ago and knocked Al Quieda of Iraq on their asses. But we didn't Perterus knows we should have done it, the troops know we should have done it, only the Armchair Generals in the DOD and the White House don't see it.



So if you find this country so objectionable at this time either get a gun and defend her shut up and soldier on or just leave it because you don't seem to be doing any good here with your complaints.



You talk of glory and proseprity and that a country's strength is refelected in it's Army I say you are wrong a country 's strength is refeected in it's people the common everyday man and woman who get up each day and raise their kids to the best of their ablities go to work and do a job and when their nation asks give their time and their lives to defend it. The constitution of this great country is based on a stange idea we trust the average man and to be able to govern themselves.



When we ratified the Counstitution in 1787 the odds were against us this plan had never been tried before. In 1861 the Times of London said about our beginning Civil War " It seem the now it is likely that people who saw this nation born in1787 will see it destroyed in 1861." Not only did we survived but we built the largest man made object and opened it just 4 Years after the end of the Civil War, The Transcontenental Railroad. The English, The Kaiser , the Czar of Russia, Hitler, Tojo, and Sadaam Hussien and Osama bin Ladin have all under estimated this country now it seems we must add your name to the list.



God Bless the United States of America.

Answer 3

CAPT. KYOK WROTE: BTW WWII was fought and won by LIBERALS





No it wasn't. there were Democrats in charge, not liberals. and Democrats USED to be a respectable group. All the way up through JFK. you'll never see democrats cut from his cloth, ever again...



the question is exactly right- when did "Democrat" start becoming confused with "Liberal"? that breed is gone, and America, as a whole, is sliding into a pit. STP52x and the Reaper King made the point much better than I can say it, but they are exaclty right.



don't forget the great John Stuart Mill:



"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and Patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is FAR worse."

Answer 4

The answer to this statement is we used to fight in defense of our country. We did not go out and attack these third world countries and try to make a democracy out of them. When they do not want a democracy. Very easy to figure out. The strength of a nation does not depend entirely on the strength of there army, but the diplomacy of there leader's.

Answer 5

Don't worry, the ''liberals'', as you call them, are not the majority. They like to think they are because democracy is they're only hope to survive. Most of them are sick, fat or just plain lazy.



We, the healthy working citizen, need to lead. Lead this bunch forward, lead this nation forward, don't let the feebles bring you down!



Remember: E PLURIBUS UNUM

-"From many, (comes) One."

Answer 6

it is those same liberals that you condemn, like my grandfather who fought and was wounded in Germany in WWII, who are responsible for the victories you so long for.



our country will never be great by fighting in wars that are unjust. even the word victory is a concept that is open to interpretation. what constitutes victory in Iraq? our freedom, their freedom, stability, democracy, or making our country less vulnerable to terrorist? the debacle in Iraq isn't achieving any of these objectives. more people want to kill you now than ever before.



and you are right.... this war will never be won while its citizens sit here and debate the justification of this war..... want to know why??? because it is UNJUST!!!!!!!

Answer 7

do you not believe that their are liberals fighting in the war right now. myself I'm a liberal and I'm headed to boot camp on the 27th you can not blame liberals and only liberals for troop withdraw one of the biggest factors in that would be the troops family. let me guess you must be one of those right wing gung ho type of people good for you, but I'm proud to be a liberal.Liberals stand for Freedom. Freedom of speech. Freedom of choice. Freedom of religion. Freedom to be who you are, to love who you choose and raise your family the way you want.

Liberals stand for “liberty and justice for all” not just some.

Liberals believe in such radical things as “all men (and women) are created equal.” That was a radical belief, 250 years ago, but the generations of brave American men and women who have died for democracy, have done so to protect those once radical beliefs which are at the core of our beliefs as Americans—our freedoms of speech, choice, and equality.

Yet, strangely, “Regressives” (also called neo-cons or the Right Wing) don’t believe in the most basic tenets of our Republic. They say they do. They wave flags and sing songs and call themselves patriots.



But their actions speak louder than their words. Regressives say one thing, and do another. That’s called hypocrisy. It’s also called lying. Their actions show they don’t believe in freedom of speech. They don’t believe it’s right to criticize your government, unless your government consists of duly elected Democrats. If your government is run by Republicans who didn’t win the popular vote, then you should “shut up” or you are unpatriotic. But that, my friends, is unpatriotic.

Answer 8

The winners of wars get to write history. First you need to win. Just being right does not guarantee you will win. Just thinking your right doesn't either.

E Pluribus Unum ?????? Let the buyer beware??????

Answer 9

in any battle, the first man to be killed is the man who is overly gung ho - the one who charges over the hill without a single thought given to STRATEGY -- in this case that foolish person is our commander in chief



BTW WWII was fought and won by LIBERALS

Answer 10

You said it yourself, "damn liberals". It started in the 1960's and 1970's with hippies and continued in the 1980's and 1990's with "political correctness". Now we just call them liberal.

Answer 11

You have to have trust in the government first.



And with the current President cooking intel to achieve his own agenda and causing thousands of peoples deaths, its hard to come by trust for the government.





not to mention all of the scandles regarding other executive abuses
