Hi Y'all,

I hope that you are doing well these days.

I was doing a bit of surfing to catch up on current events and I came across this blurb on Neal Boortz' site. I am somewhat disturbed to see the numbers that the poll reports. I know that polls can be manipulated to reflect a certain outcome. With this being a CNN poll, I am somewhat suspicious of the methodology of the poll.

Anyway, the mechanics are not near as important as what this number means to our enemies and those who support their efforts. I find it hard to believe that even half of Americans could be against our efforts over here, but it is possible that I am not in touch with their newfound feelings, what with being over here on their behalf and all. I have no reservations about our ability to free and help the Iraqi people. We are the strongest, yet most magnanimous country ever produced by man. Dick [Durbin] can compare us to Hitler, Stalin and Pol Pot all day long. Those kind of insults reflect more upon him and his supporters than on the most powerful, yet self-constrained military that has ever been fielded. Where I am having difficulty is that CNN was able to produce a poll showing that Americans are possibly leaning more towards the rantings of people like Dick than the execution of Pres. Bush's strategy. A strategy that is having a profound effect across the Middle East and around the world.

If true, then we truly do not deserve to be at the head of the table. What is the point of having everything that God has given us if we are willing to shirk our duty because it has become tiresome or boring or just too much to deal with. As Americans, are we represented more by sulking teens mad because they have homework or what Americans can become?

I, for one believe in the ideals that this country was founded upon. What we need to do is help other Americans show the world, our soldiers (the greatest soldiers ever, bar none) and the enemy that CNN does not represent us. Nor does Dick. We are a nation of freedom and true (Biblical) ideals and everything that those ideals stand for.
