The Road Home
 
This is a rather lengthy editorial from the NY Times. I think it's worth the little time it takes to read.

The Generals post is from one who lived it......the Times is the usual drivel they put out!

Jay....honestly, we both know that will never happen.

You can get away from the pundits to check for yourself, but the facts are clearly laid out. The Times is the same group that has leaked Govt. stuff and filmed a soldiers' execution by a terrorist! Maybe that's just me....but those actions don't speak to their character.

IMO....the days of the "career politician" need to come to an end. The sooner the better.

I am a conservative actually! If the Repubs had any backbone/character then we wouldn't be in the current calamity we face now! They suck too! But the ideas(and ways to achieve goals)brought forth from Dems are ludicrous and shortsighted,imho!

It may seem a bit silly to some, but it almost seems to me that the whole idea of "accountablity" has been taken out of politics.

Its a sad state of affairs...and at the risk of sounding like an old man, its not getting any better with the younger generation. The example that has been set forth in front of them, leads them to believe they don't need to be concerned or take responsibilty for their actions.

Im the furthest thing from perfect, but one thing about me stands true. When I screw up, im the first one to stand up and admit it.

Me??...liberal issues???? I'm not a neo-con, but damn..A liberal??? Talk to me!

DaHoss: biased doesn't mean brainwashed! I know what right/wrong is and what compromise is and does in Society! But..don't tell GR...she thinks I'm a "dittohead":D
