THE RICK MORAN SHOW - LIVE
Join me this morning from 7:00 AM - 9:00 AM Central Time for The Rick Moran Show on Wideawakes Radio.
Today, we’ll examine our options in Iraq based on my post from yesterday “Iraq: Quit or Commit.” There are many, many conservatives re-examining the Iraq war now and what we should be doing. Most have come to the conclusion that I have; if we’re not going to do what it takes to win, then we should leave. I’ll also look at the left’s use of fear to win votes even as they accuse Republicans of the same thing.

When I began my journey into politics, ashamed to say about a month after 9/11, I heard platforms from all sides and ended up joining the Republican Party. Early on I remember hearing a Q & A session with David Horowitz (from the Freedom Center) and a caller asked the question if Conservatism has such great ideals why does it always have a hard time getting across to the people? Mr. Horowitz’s response was that conservatives in their gentle way always give up the war to easy, thinking the battles can be fought another day.
He also reminded listeners that the Left is vicious in tactic and that Conservatives easily succumb to defeat because they are too nice when fighting against such hardness.
Let’s face the fact that the American Left is successfully crucifying Freedom for their sake of power. When will Conservatives realize that the war must be fought to victory because there are no more days left to fight the next battle.
What it takes to win is to stay in the game, stop subjugating yourself to defeatists who need America to lose the war in Iraq. None ever said that Freedom or Democracy was easy, in fact it is the opposite. Take a look at our own path to a civilized society. For example, it took almost 125 years for women to vote, and another 50 years for blacks to vote. Iraq has achieved in less than three years what took America 175 years to achieve.
What exactly does ‘doing what it takes to win’ mean? Realizing that expectations always get in the way of reality. You are expecting a rosy picture of success without seeing the possiblity that tremendous success has been achieved in ways unknown to your world view. Life isn’t the Hollywoodized perfection to which we have grown accustomed.
