Hindsight is a useless blur...

What's wrong with being right wing?

I choose to think for myself and I happen to belive in some right wing fundementals because we live in a world that is not truly democratic left or right. I think to limit yourself to one partisan ideal is foolish, and to me its almost as silly to call yourself a liberal. To me liberal means you don't stand for anything. It means you don't believe in anything, and you don't like to think for yourself.

The left wing band wagon gets under my skin because they really have nothing to say most of the time, similar to myself at times. All the left are good at doing is bashing the right. They have no solutions to offer only "Let's leave Iraq" or "War is mean." I consider myself to be a post idealist and rather than whine about what has been done (once again similar to myself but not when I'm talking politics) let's have a discussion about what we should do.

Hindsight is 20/20 and its totally useless to the present situations at hand. As a friend of mine would say "Liberal Weenies Suck" and here's a perfect example.

Jack Layton of the NDP (Canada' Left Wing Party) actually wants to pull Canadian troops out of Afghanistan. The battle is heated and sure, a few Canadian soldiers are getting killed (35 or so, which is a drop in the bucket if you ask me) but many more Taliban members are being uprooted, dislocated, and killed. I know what you liberal weenies are thinking... "but so many innocent people are dying" "they aren't making any progress" "what about the families of the Canadian soldiers who died"....

Look at it this way. Canadians have one of the best countries and lifestyles on this rock. What have we done to deserve this? Anything? I think it is our obligation to help a country like Afghanistan, who have appealled to the UN for help after 9/11. All you liberal weenies use the lack of UN support as a reason to bash the US and the Iraq war, but these same people in Canada wanna pull out of Afghanistan which is a UN sanctioned "battle" (I dont' want to call it a war... 1000's of people die on both sides in wars).

War and battles are not meant to be easy. Helping a country remove a tyranical, religion obsessed group from ruling it's country is not supposed to be easy. Fighting an enemy not in uniform is not easy. Some things in life are not easy, but does that mean we should quit?

Here's a quote from a friend's blog (he's linked to the right, although he never updates)...

"Hippies must start to realize that America is not evil. The military and economic interventions it has implemented around the globe do not represent an empire building operation. American foreign policy attempts to end war and create global prosperity through the spreading of democracy and capitalism. In areas which have accepted this paradigm, success has been great. For an example look at the economic miracle which has taken place in the democratic Asian nations.

Canadians love to hate Americans. Probably due to jealousy. They are the older sibling who is the worlds greatest doctor, rich and powerful, while we continue to smoke weed in dad's car talking trash about them."

I'm not gonna say I agree with what he says fully, but just about.
