Kentucky Progress reported a rumor that Cindy Sheehan is coming to Kentucky for a Democrat fund-raiser. That would be perfect for the Republicans. Democrats think money is the solution to everything. Anything for a few dollars. They shouldn't even go near Cindy Sheehan, much less receive remarks from her formally and accept money at the event. That's their prerogative, though.

Anyway, a comment-fest then ensued and I became frustrated with some of the comments:

What I am the most sick of is people talking about things being popular or unpopular.

Even if the majority of the country really does believe we should leave Iraq, that doesn't mean leaving Iraq is the right decision!! The right thing to do is not always popular.

We're a sick nation, and it doesn't surprise me at all to hear that "a majority of Americans believe the Iraq War is a mistake." Frankly, though, it doesn't matter what the majority of Americans think regarding this issue. All you can do is vote. I thank God every day that we have a president and an administration that, for the most part, doesn't care about what these stupid polls say. He wants to do the right thing. He wants to do what is best for the country - long term. That course of action won't necessarily be popular right now, but I can guarantee you that a hundred years from now Americans will survey history and thank God that we did what we are now doing.

Myopic America. At least the voting bloc is majority conservative.

We're just scared that this next war will have to end like WWII. That's a legitimate fear. However, if we do the right thing now and do not allow this sickness to infect the world any further, that will probably not be necessary. Even if it is necessary, so be it. Look at Japan now. It is one of the greatest nations on the planet. In 1945, though, it was consumed by a depraved ideology. War changed that.
