Western Alliance & Editing styles
What is the Western Alliance afraid of, that requires so much censorship?
They've learned that the key to their story & blogs being consistent is to edit out (delete) posts that are inconsistent with their story line. Posts that pose "uncomfortable" questions like "why are the Republicans voting down proposals to take care of our wounded or returning Iraq/Afghanistan Veterans. Is it that the Republicans stance of being pro-military goes only as far as, "as long as you don't get wounded, or require other types of supporting benefits upon your return"? Is it that we only have enough money to pay the war profiteers? The rhetoric falls far short of the actions, and it is purely embarrassing, for the Republicans. Still the Democrats who according to the Conservative party line "fail to support the military", are the only ones standing when it comes time to pass spending bills to take care of the National Guard returnees, the Reseverists, and the Regular enlisted.
I've posed this quandrum repeatedly on Conservative Blogs, and have yet to elicit a single response, or attempted explanation. I'm either ignored, censored, or called a liar.
No one has the guts, or the conscience to address the point. It's more important to support the fantasy line that only Republicans care about the military.
Most of the Conservatives I see day to day, and work with day to day, are good Christians. What I don't understand is their moral compass. As good Christians how do they feel about Abu Garib? How do they feel about our Adminstration doing nothing about the atrocities in Sudan?
It's their silence that gets me. It's ok to support your President, and Party. I have no problem with that. However, if that means to be a good loyal soldier, you have to keep your mouth shut, about things that bother you, then you become an accessory to the crime of inactivity. Your silence is your complicity.
How you can honesty live yourselves with this open lie, is beyond me. If I don't like something I speak up. You however, hide and rationalize your behavior. THAT is what separates people who walk the talk, those that just posture "empty positions".
It's WIN AT ALL COST, it doesn't matter if it's morally repugnant or not.

You have hit it on the head.
The Republican Party is for the military as long as the soldiers do not cost to much, however for military contracts the skys the limit.
Look at the CIA leak. The Rep. are closing ranks to protect Karl and their power. Where are the priniples and moral clarity the spew?
I will make a prediction here first and will post on my blog about this later.
The White House and Neo-cons have to think of how they will hold onto power in next years election. How?
Promise Rep. that if they protect Karl, Libby and the other traitors in the Administration the White house will make sure there is public support for the Rep. Either by pulling sometroops out of Iraq (just say we win go home) or God forbid we have another attack that rallies the country.
My only fear is that it might work.
