Republican? Boost Your Career Now!
Meet Forrest Mandeville, College Republican of Point Loma Nazarene University near San Diego. Forrest wants to serve in the Montana Legislature; his father is already mayor of his hometown, Columbus, Montana.
Well, Forrest, haven't you forgotten about our governing party's national leadership responsibility for the Global War on Terrorism? Don't you want military service on your political resume?
Or, do you just have "other priorities"?

Mr. Karl,
If your priority is to send Young GOP to IRAQ, then you would logically want to supremely enforce political decisions for those who support them?
If this is true, why haven't you aborted yourself? Or, do you just have "other priorities"?
Mr. Cabe-
My priority is to Support Our President in fulfilling his national leadership responsibilities.
Once the future leaders of our governing party step up to the plate by setting a good example for the rest of us, they will have the leadership credibility to bring everyone else along with them.
But their apparent refusal even to consider Supporting Our President makes their ostensible support for his policies (the war) ring quite hollow.
Those eligible to serve who support the war have an obligation to consider serving. Note that I said "consider."
Those not eligible to serve who support the war have an obligation to encourage their eligible relatives and friends, their circles of influence, to consider serving. Again, I said "consider."
Those who support the war only if "other people" do the actual fighting don't really support American involvement in the war at all.
I want to see President Bush succeed and implement the Victory Plan he unveiled yesterday.
How about you?
Is it just me, or has this whole blog become political? Whatever happened to the FUN?!
Mr. Karl, and Mrs. Sadie:
Mr. Karl said, "Those who support the war only if "other people" do the actual fighting don't really support American involvement in the war at all."
You could make the same argument for abortion. Just replace "war" with "abortion."
It also doesn't make sense looking at previous wars such as WWII. Many Americans didn't fight in WWII, does that mean they didn't support the war? You see my point? Mr. Karl? Mrs. Sadie?
"Those who support abortion only if "other people" do the actual aborting don't really support American involvement in abortion at all."
Sure, Cabe, that made perfect sense.
(?)
With respect,
According to Jim, and Karl: If one supports this war (or action), one should serve in it, or die for it.
By the same token: If one supports abortion (rights), one should participate in abortion, or be aborted.
Abortion uses taxpayer dollars.
I am considering serving my country.
Civility goes a long way.
Cabe-
Thank you for considering serving our country.
Please let us know the results of your deliberations.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Karl Olson
