Voting Republican
"The fact is I don't trust the Democratic Party to lead this country in a time of uncertainty and war. While the Democrats say they want to refocus the nation's energy on the war on terror, they've demonstrated time and again that they oppose the most effective means of fighting terrorism.
"Democrats would interfere with the National Security Agency's ability to intercept communications between terrorists abroad and their agents in the United States. They would extend to terrorists being held overseas access to the U.S. civilian court system, which could jeopardize national security by making classified intelligence available to the terrorists and their attorneys. They would treat terrorists like common criminals rather than as combatants who are at war with us.
"Nor do I trust that Democrats would do the right thing in Iraq -- not that the current administration has had a stellar record there, either. I'm tired of debating whether we should or should not have gone into Iraq -- both Republicans and half the Democrats in the Senate voted to authorize the war in 2003. The question is what the United States should do now. It's clear the war is going very badly and that Iraq is on the verge of a civil war. Democrats have offered no clear plan except to leave Iraq as quickly as possible, regardless of the consequences."

Seraphic Secret is private property, that's right, it's an extension of our home, and as such, Karen and I have instituted two Seraphic Rules and we ask commentors to act respectfully.
1. No profanity.2. No Israel bashing. We debate, we discuss, we are respectful. You know what Israel bashing is. The world is full of it. Seraphic Secret is one of the few places in the world that will not tolerate this form of anti-Semitism. That's it. Break either of these rules and you will be banned.
On your site you request that people "debate, discuss" and be "respectful," yet you quote Michelle Malkin's ad hominem, sophomoric("thumb-sucking?") generalizations about the Democrat's leadership. Surely respectful debate should extend beyond discussions of Eretz Yisrael. An article such as hers criticizes demagoguery, yet approaches that level of rhetoric itself.

Mel:
My site, you will notice, does extend beyond discussions of Eretz Yisroel, though I will admit with no shame whatsoever that Eretz Yisroel and her survival is of major concern. As for respectful debate, well of course. I publish other points of view, but I also never pull any punches where my major symapthies lie.
I find Michelle Malkin's quips to be funny more than anything else. We attempt to hold on to a sense of humor here at Seraphic Secret.
Thnaks so much for writing.
