I don't know Ferd, a lot of young folks may think Iraq was a turning point. I know you don't think so, you have clearly stated, but there is a huge part of the population that thinks the war was a colossal blunder. Yet, I'm sure we will have to wait until Nov to see how big that group is.

But the evidence that it was a "blunder" has been lacking entirely. The media creates a mood and sets an agenda - then "commentators" like HuffPo trump all the push polling that makes it look like the elite's agenda has momentum.
Don't forget what year it is. And freedom is never a blunder.

Monk, the Republicans have made some serious mistakes and it has certainly cost us.
the Rs have let the Ds set the agenda and provide the spin on what is happening. GWs advisors have told him to be "presidential" and not address every attack. That is stupid. and it has cost him severly.
I agree with you that a lot of people really see Iraq as a bad mistake and in some respects there were mistakes that were made. Rummy wanted to fight a small war of attack and withdraw, thinking we could just kill the bad guys and eventually they would get tired of dying. He was wrong. We did the same thing in Vietnam. It didnt work there either.
There have been a number of Republicans in trouble of late. and it has cost Rs the moral high ground. and beyond that Rs have started acting like Dems on far too many issues.
I have said this many times. There is no reason for the Republicans to win the whitehouse. History is absolutly against it.

This is scary to me for more than reason - not just political.
It would appear that these young people have not been grounded in the high moral values of true Christianity, if they would so easily leave the Republican party. It is not perfect, but at this point it is the only party that even supports any semblance of things that should be important to us as Christians. And to support Obama?????? (I can't stand the Clintons - but I'd take Hillary over Obama any day) I don't necessarily agree with McCain - in fact, and he certainly would not have been my first choice on the Republican ticket - however, at some point we have to sometime support the lesser of two (or three evils....)
Just as much as teaching our children doctrine - I believe that we have an obligation to ground them in the TRUE history of our great country and teach them that is is our responsibilities as Christians to stand up for righteousness in this land! IMHO, this country is where we are today because for too many years the people of God stood back and didn't get involved in politics.

You mean the righteousness when the Indians were massacred? Or when they shot my great-tata?........
