As far as the libs alienation it is really easy to explain. The libs voted and was in support of this war just as much if not more than the conservatives. This war is a needed evil we are under constant attach by the muslim “extremists” and we cannot give up unless we want our lifestyles to take on a dramatic change. The dems know this just as much as the repulicans do. The sad thing is that we have a country divided on who will be in power and choices being made to keep power or gain power by our idiot poloticians (I mean all of em dems and republicans both). Instead of comming together as a country finding the real problems and solving them its all about what can we do to please the most people to maintain or gain power.

So on this one I commend you Libs who did what was right in this case instead of doing what may have given you the political power. Now if we can just get out leaders ethics on both sides of the isle to mimick and follow this pattern not on select matters but all of the time this country may be able to last another 200 years.
