I do not presume to know what real courage is. I have never served my country in uniform, and so I do not know real fear. But it seems apparent that liberals and congressional republicans are complete and utter cowards. They are so busy appeasing the economy just like they appease everything else, that they do not give the country time to correct itself and learn from our mistakes. Why they should bail out people who foreclosed on their homes is a complete mystery. What ever happened to personal responsibility? Congress should say "You made a mistake. You have to suffer the consequences. Its not our job to clean up your mess. Grow up." I guess thats what true American men and women would do, so why would I expect congress to act like true Americans. And where is the damn GOP? Oh thats right, after abandoning their conservative principles, they're quivering in some cave scared of being called names by Democrats. Worthless.
We have to meet our world head on. As anyone thats ever played any contact sports will say, one get far more injured dodging the hit. We need REAL leaders, not some whiny little girly men who don't have the guts to stand up for themselves.
