		<description><![CDATA[A (usually comedic) blog I like to follow in my spare time recently published a post talking about the latest events in Libya to ask why conservatives are so against the pro-democracy uprisings of the so-called Jasmine Revolution, when a conservative Republican government undertook multi-billion dollar invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan in order to &#8220;bring democracy&#8221; to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This just dedicated to all the people that will still argue with me on the merits of the U.S. occupation of Afghanistan. People who rage against Iraq but still, for some unexplainable reason, see our presence in Afghanistan as some sort of moral imperative &#8211; as some sort of cleansing of the world&#8217;s evil. I don&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When one takes the time to read liberal blogs a pattern quickly becomes apparent. When one is so entangled in the system of our government it obscures what one is actually cheering for or raging against. The line, ideologically speaking, becomes so blurred that thankfully one is able to determine which people deserve cheering or [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Keep in mind while reading the following that this president was elected on a campaign of &#8220;change.&#8221; That he won his election denigrating the &#8220;failed policies of the past.&#8221; Reminding oneself of these facts becomes a cruel joke when compared to the very things that he has since done. Anyone still defending Obama has to either be [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Richard, over at American Leftist, highlighted an article (Thanks, Jack Crow) advertising Obama&#8217;s assertion that Iran is attempting to build nuclear weapons. Forgive me for being skeptical of a US president claiming evidence of WMD in a country in the Middle East, but the world has seen no such evidence and too many have died [...]]]></description>

How about Iraq; remember when we cleaned up all the WMD and passed the power of government back to the people? Or how about how easy it was to route al-Qaeda and the Taliban out of Afghanistan and install a non-corrupt regime? No? [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last Tuesday, President Obama addressed the nation to explain to us his decision to prolong the Afghanistan War by sending 30,000 more troops into the country. Though he claimed that our presence there is necessary because of the threat from Al Qaeda, the evidence shows us all otherwise. Al Qaeda has less than 100 operatives [...]]]></description>
