• to my beloved liberal friends

  ...and even you still-rational radicals who need to reach left of self to touch Stalin...

  Please watch this video.  At least twice~!  And visit the site (HotAir.com) for a change of pace to the DailyKos kooks and Jon Stewart sound bites.
  Do not immediately and stubbornly trust what the mainstream media force-feeds you.  Be wary of what anyone says, for that matter, and don't discount your own reason.  But you know all this.  Supposedly.  And yet when I talk to you I get the same discouragement and hopeless bickering seen on TV.  Hm.  Well, this video provides a breath of fresh air, especially to all you who seem to be so sure that Iraq is never going to get better.  Here's your proof, and this isn't really news to those following conservative blogs, since this stuff has been happening in increments throughout the war but the media just moves from one hotspot car-bomb mania to the next, only highlighting disgruntled congressmen (Harry "This war is lost" Reid) who don't know much about what's really going on and yet want to micromanage the war and waste all their time with investigations where there has been NO constitutional breach, only to take the greatest assault on the Constitution themselves. 

  Finally, if that doesn't convince you to click on that link, I'll make my take my last stand...

  "If you don't watch this video you don't love me~!"

  (Ah, the advantages of being a lovable girl...) hehe~

  As an aside, I've had a great time thus far getting back in touch with old friends and talking with them about the issues of the day.  And though I'm usually brushed off as the crazy conservative voice, I'm encouraged that no matter where anyone stands on the political spectrum they find me approachable and reasonable.  But the more I talk with people I realize it's sources of information that cause the greatest divide. 

  I watch mainstream media, I love a good laugh on the Colbert Report, I appreciate silly banter and have my problems with the administration but more with Congress.  (Bush is currently twice as popular as Congress).  But to me, it's very obvious what they choose to report... and even more interesting what they don't talk about, what they don't report.  So I encourage you to look at other sources of information, especially if you find yourself always nodding to what you hear around you.  As I gain more information, I find myself (respectfully) disagreeing with people more and more and contradicting them. 

  That, to me, is the right path, because it makes me really believe what I say and say what I mean because everyone else is watching my every move, waiting for an "a-ha~!" moment to prove me wrong.  But if you can't, ask yourself if you're choosing to be correct or simply choosing to make yourself feel good. 

  And while we're at it, how about asking the most fundamental question, "Do you want to succeed in Iraq?" Because for World War II and Korea (before the US was castrated) this was not even a question.  Korean Americans should especially remember that.

  And another random thought: Republicans didn't constantly whine and complain but stepped up and supported wars that Democrats initiated (WWII - Roosevelt, Korea - Truman, Vietnam - Kennedy).  Hm.

  -----------------------------------

  And here's a thought for "compassionate conservatism": 

  My heart goes out to the Korean Christian medical missionary hostages and the one who was brutally murdered by extremists whom I question if they even have souls.  And to protect those hostages whom I love I desire to obliterate those who threaten their very existence.  So I have compassion, respect, and love for those who do that work for me, and destroy the enemy for the sake of innocent captives taken prisoner and threatened throughout the past, present and future.  These terrorists/jihadis/mujahideen may be human, but they are not humane. 

  The gospel and life itself are three-pronged.  There's the compassion and love for all, hatred and wrath for those against the beloved, and God who oversees it all (and who gave us His word).  And in this world, Genesis 1:28 is fulfilled by our love and dedication as well as our efficiency in destroying the enemy.  God has already given us the word, from the beginning and the end:

  Genesis 1:28 - "God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it.  Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground."

  Revelations 2:26-27 - "To him who overcomes and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations -- 'He will rule them with an iron scepter; he will dash them to pieces like pottery' -- just as I have received authority from my Father."

  And this is why terrorists wounded in the field are given the same medical care as our soldiers, next to their beds in Iraq, even though upon their release they'll only keep attacking Americans, soldiers, Korean medical missionaries, etc.  It's a bit too nice, in my humble opinion, but it's the American Christian way.  Kind of a stark contrast with those murderous jihadis who glorify suicide bombings of innocent civilians, eh?  Those must be some frickin' hot virgins.

  [edit]: Man, I've got some crazy runaway sentences here.  hehe.  But still grammatical~! (Take that, Dickens... haha.. yeah right)
