Don’t you guys get it. There will be peace in the middle east within a year and then we can stay there for 100 years without taking casualties. Also according to the congressional budget office, that kind of occupation would only cost $3,000,000,000,000. That sounds like a lot, but the shortfall in social security is $4,000,000,000,000.

DanN,
I think your right. I was oversimplifying a difficult concept for some to get. There is a lot of overlap in those who have intellect and those who are brutes. However, the intellects in Berkley, CA are not brutes and would not defend this nation if it were under attack. They would sooner give it over to the ill willed with hopes that they could join the ranks of the intellects on the other side. Of course, when asked, these cowards would be the first in line to point a finger at the military for not taking action. Of course, their military would be nonexistent if they had their utopian way.

Though, not exactly a fan of McCain’s, I do think he is a brutish intellect. Heavy on the brute, lighter on the intellect. Bush is somewhat like this as well - however, I suspect history will show him to be a bit more intelligent then we all give him credit for. Regan, though soft-spoken is also in this class. I think this class makes for good leaders. They often surround themselves with very intelligent people - but are willing to make the hard calls on their own. McCain offers the most promise in the current group of contenders.

Bill Clinton is very high on intellect, but not very brutish. He often finds himself in lofty perches unwilling to act. Having a high image of himself, he surrounds himself with people who make him look good - or otherwise idiots. Obama will be very much like this I think.

Hillary on the other hand is a brute in every aspect. She offers little in intellect. She often lashes out with irrational tendencies. Of the group of contenders, she will make the weakest candidate.

McCain, in my simplistic model will provide consistency in the world arena - most capable of protecting liberty, justice and the American way. Obama would be the most likely to hand it over if pressured. Hillary would plunge the world in chaos as she goes on the offensive to declare her position in the world.

The trurth of the matter whether or not the democrats like it is that we will be in Iraq for a good many years to come. Old Obama and Sir Hillary can say whatever they want the democratic fools but they both attend the same national security meetings. They love to lie about how quick they will pull troops out but it all for not. There are security agreements that we will be bound by for a long time. For all you Huckaberries stop whining, this election is already over for you.

“Of the two general types of people, you have intellectuals and the brutes. Intellectuals tend to be cowardous and unwilling to protect themselves, whereas brutes tend to not think before they act. ”

Courage and intellegence are not mutually exclusive. To take a stand against a foe that may result in your own self destruction requires either insanity or love. Love of friends, family, or ideals that one sees as greater than themselves. To risk life and limb for something as abstract as an ideal is certainly a mark of intellegence as well as courage. Strangely, this line of thought has lead me to think of John McCain. Maybe not an intellectual in the classic sence but maybe more intellegent than some would give him credit for.

If anyone knows about war I think Mccain does, he was a POW and served our country with honor. Barack Hussein Obama and Hillary have no idea how to protect this country. Barack Hussein Obama won’t even wear a flag lapel pin and people expect him to lead our country into the future. Barack’s wife isn’t even proud of the United States unless her husband is winning delagates. Wake up people……
