Contrast
QOTD1
Some lady's a dog breeder; I'll wager she's a goofy dog-lover. Vice-president Biden buys a mutt from her (well, a pure-bred German Shepherd mutt), and she is the target of all kinds of abuse, including harassment from local government officials.
Here's the story, which is a wonderful Ayn Rand-ian metaphor for the tyranny of the left: Biden's Puppy Breeder: "Never, Never, Never Again"
Story #2
Here's an incredibly moving article on victory in Iraq and sacrifice of our troops and their families: I've Lost My Brother, Too
I gots no problemo being against the war or protest or anything. But try this some time... mention to someone who is/was against the war in Iraq:
Why can I debate you on the merits of going to war, yet you can't acknowledge its outcome, or the valor of those who fought it?
And if you really want to fan the flames of political correctness, you might note how W and General Patraeus acted as true leaders to emply the "surge" in the face of cut-and-run mantra that dominated the media and both sides of the political fence at the time. Quagmire.
QOTD2
I'm not in the business of telling people what to care about. But you can contrast a group that villifies and harasses some lady breeding German shepherd with our soldiers and their families who safeguard this country and have provided an opportunity at freedom for millions of others.
And I guess that's the contrast: substance over silliness.
Making a difference in the world versus pretending.
victory... yow, bill

I gots no problemo being against the war or protest or anything. But try this some time... mention to someone who is/was against the war in Iraq:
- How incredible the performance of our military has been,
- How we have freed a nation of 20+ million from tyrrany and oppression and given them a chance at freedom, and
- How we have won the war in Iraq
Why can I debate you on the merits of going to war, yet you can't acknowledge its outcome, or the valor of those who fought it?

QOTD2
"Those five words changed Dan's life. He had been living in a chasm of grief for Mike, and suddenly his perspective opened up. He was able to look beyond his personal grief and recognize all who have fought for freedom in our country, in Iraq, and around the world."Contrast
