We freed a nation of 20 million from a tyrant in a month, removed a threat to the U.S., and did it with less damage than anyone thought possible.

For this we get spit on by Iraqis while they celebrate a holiday that would have gotten them tortured and shot a month ago. For this the Left calls us the worst nation ever to walk the Earth. and pulls every minor setback into the foreground. Hell, look at half the posts here.

The Left used to claim to stand against oppressors. When I was young, I never saw a war for liberation they didn't like, although I noticed that this was only so long as the "liberators" were totalitarian communists.

I think we are all beginning to see what they really stand for now.

I am sick of my country taking shit for our virtues, and it's bad enough to get pissed on by France and other nations, without a good chunk of our own population joining in.

On top of that, I've been listening to some of the lunatics the Democrats are fielding for President next year. I realize they have to run to the left in primaries, but geez...

As just one example, Gephart is pushing socialized medicine, which would bankrupt the country in a decade. Funny how deficits don't matter when its a social spending program.
