They won't even admit that some mistakes were made in Iraq and the war on terror. I've at least pointed out the things about Bush that I like as well as the limited success we have had in Iraq. Those that favor the way of the sword have gone charging forward without ever looking back.

I apologize for the "enlightened" generalization. I should have said it was in reference to the posts I have read on this board (the one of yours which I quoted being the most recent and notable example). I don't believe I claimed that everyone who supports Kerry is a liberal. Sorry if it seemed that way.

I happen to be one of the "religious-right." I'm a Catholic and I'm a Conservative. Very little, if anything, in this election has been black and white to me which is probably why I did not vote.

I did not agree with the war in Iraq. I do not praise Bush and in fact I have been critical to him on a few occasions though it may not have been on these boards that I did so.

Let's take a close look and see who is really trying to make things out to be "black and white".

I apologize if I offended you. I went a little overboard with my comments.

All of your comments have been a little overboard for a few months now. Thankfully the election is over now and we can move on.

I think everyone who voted for Nader hates America

I'm a little disgusted with American Politics in general right now. It's been one giant f*cking mud slinging fest the past few months. That's not too productive.

And it's not as if Kerry is that much better (although in my opinion, having him in office would be a step in the right direction).

The main concern right now of course is the draft. I'd be worried too.

So, if there is indeed a draft; I invite any of you to move up to British Columbia. We'll hang.

Thanks Dylflon. I will take you up on that offer if the time comes . I really wouldn't mind going into military service for a good cause, but not if it's like Iraq. Maybe my opinion will change later though

This election has been great for me. Even though my man lost, I'm learning to really form my own opinions and read the facts myself instead of what extremists and the media crap all over my face. I'm glad you guy's handled this calmly too.

The point of military service is to serve your country, wherever and whenever it needs, not to pick and choose what you want to do. Even if you signed up because you truly believed in the cause, it's an 8 year contract no matter what. Some of it active duty, some inactive reserve. A lot can happen in 8 years, you might have signed up to fight in Afghanistan, and now you're in Iraq. When you join the military, you lose the right to choose what you do and do not want to do.

It looks like The Strangler flip flops too.
