The piecemeal nuances of the war on terror and the Iraq police action may in and of themselves have merit to some degree, but so far have not been demonstrated to have any connection to the conduct of business, politics, or everyday life in the USA, thus it seems focusing on them will be a sinecure "proving" a certain party or those attacking such nuances will take the USA and barge full steam ahead with undreamed of prosperity and security...yes, even if collectivism became the novus ordo seclorum, and hasn't worked anywhere else in history...give such progressives a lifetime at the wheel to see if they're right eventually or not.
 
This is mainly because, it seems, all such nuances from poor, poor terrorists captured abroad or upon attempted USA entry as military objectives won't have civilian protections, to the USA owes a lot to every immigrant who can just get here, are founded upon reinforcement of those so speaking as foreign populations have heard their "USA is a military-industrial complex times a bazillion and must learn to control itself" malarkey. Even Richard M. Daley has said "my fodder was a bad man", in relation to the elder Daley supporting troops and cracking down hard on 1968 antiwar protesters; yet from the current Daley to any 1960's antiwar propoganda shown lately, missing are all those "cool" things like the Weathermen, SDS, and most protesters saying they'd poison the city's water supply, burn the town, trample residents underfoot, and so forth alongside any planned demonstrations; I was an eight year old boy outside the then Civic Center in 1968 when that exact dogma was spit at me by a protester in personam, as well; obviously, given context, even R.M. Daley means his "fodder" was bad for supporting troops in police actions, not because of mafia, union, and similar allegations.
 
The current Mayor Daley has also been chasing a casino project since 1992, in one form or another; currently, he and the Democrat run State have said they'd like to build one the State owns and which will tax all licensed gambling which "hurts" State action. Like everything else, including Sanctuary City practices, non-Conservatives in Illinois have been rolling along with for years, one day they have to do it to appease the "Republicans" who are invisible but use mass conspiracies as business people when Dems run all, the next day they have to do it because the mean old GOP irritated the world abroad and Dems and non-Conservative others have to "make peace"...even if it means collectivizing all USA residents, State owned and run everything, what have you; perhaps there's a reason the modern Daley wins re-election by garnering the majority of record low voter turnouts.
 
Imagine being an Iranian and hearing "bomb bomb Iran" being sung as Mymood Alibabajihad says he'd like to step in and run all Iraq plus clamp down on his own democracy while threatening the world with nuclear pursuits; while say a McCain might have some impact, more likely you'd think "why is Alibabajihad baiting this?". Then imagine being a Russian who hears "there's no reason, Bob," USA Nazis should using a massive military and industrial complex that's still greenhousing to boot to provoke and try to take over the entire world with Iraq as a stepping stone for this great Satan...might you not say "Vladster, how come you're not flying bombers or making threats or something?". One sees how on one hand enemies of freedom and global trade can be encouraged by self-denegrations within the USA, and on the other potential free trade partners and such are reduced via saying in the nature "they've taken their own notions about their own futures from Bush actions, not our rodomontades, so what can we do but surrender and live as Bush and such foreign folks have created?".
 
In July of this year, it appears Rep. Blunt re Heritage remarked we shouldn't try to stop the non-Conservative agenda, but advance our own Conservative policies. I wholeheartedly agree, and in that spirit think of the within foregoing; identifying the meaning of amorphous piecemeal complaints as but a means of continuing poor prospects for free trade, diplomacy, and non-collectivism no matter what seems like a good place to at least de-fog the non-Conservative agenda, so that "I don't WANT more than I'm doing!" is less likely confused with "meanies MADE me have to make lemonade out of lemons!".

Now, back to insisting we DO have at least 1960's amount of smoking in the USA and CAN pay for SCHIP from new taxes on it...only a meanie would think Democrats are snickering about using the children as a shield against their own refusal to realistically fund SCHIP.
