                <![CDATA[<em>...their work is cut out for them to revive interest in Teh One.</em><br />
<br />
We've noticed it's already ramping up. So far, I've seen him labeled as &quot;the post-modern President,&quot; &quot;the post-racial President,&quot; and, according to the last cover of Newspeak I saw, &quot;the post-imperial President.&quot; <br />
<br />
Personally, I think of him as &quot;<a href="http://conservative-sugar.tressugar.com/1712018" rel="nofollow"><strong>the post-turtle President</strong></a>.&quot;<br />

                <![CDATA[I see one major difference to the Afghanistan war.&nbsp; The internet.&nbsp; While reader interest may be low because the media isn't whipping it into a frenzy, and Snowbama's ratings are plunging, and goodness knows their work is cut out for them to revive interest in Teh One, I&nbsp;see a readership who will be better-informed because of the web.&nbsp; While I do not have broadcast media for a variety of reasons, I&nbsp;DO have the web because I can read what I want, when I want and decide for myself without having to listen to pre-recorded agendas.<br />
<br />
There will also be a distinct lack of respect toward our military.&nbsp;]]>

                <![CDATA[The MSM has been touting Afghanistan as the &quot;new Vietnam&quot; for a few years now- something that sane people could see through and ignored.&nbsp; Unfortunately, they are hellbent on making sure the entire country- and world judging by the article Argent sent in email the other day- believe that this IS the &quot;new Vietnam&quot;.&nbsp; It makes me sad and angry all at the same time.<br />
<br />
And speaking of Argent and Murray... Happy New Year, as it is already January 1 down under.]]>

                <![CDATA[&nbsp;Yup. It was Congress' own recalcitrance and spite that allowed the North Vietnamese to invade and assimilate South Vietnam. It was Congress who set the stage for the &quot;killing fields&quot; and the genocide that followed.<br />
<br />
A Congress with a Democratic Majority who refused to honor America's commitments and promises to South Vietnam, cut off aid, and allowed that poor nation to die a horrible death, and then be shackled with the absolute evil of communism.<br />
<br />
Our military didn't lose in Vietnam,  and it didn't lose Vietnam. Congress did, with the help and assistance of a sycophant press.&nbsp; <br />
<br />
The real history of Vietnam must ALWAYS include the cowardice, avarice, and truly shameful actions of our Congress. Our nation, and especially our military, deserves a better class of cretinous lawmakers than we had then, and have now.<br />]]>
