Why is PEACE a dirty word to the republicans?

Answer 1

They're owners of contractor agencies that work for the gov't and make money on wars. Clean and simple, peace ruins business - why do you think the bush & the dick started this in Iraq & Afghanistan? To get their hands on Iraqi oil & Afghani opium.

Answer 2

Republicans are smart enough to know the difference between "peace" and avoidance of miliarty conflict.

There was nothing but peace, peace, peace before the start of WWII. A lot of people in England warned the country not to wait until Germany got too strong to confront alone, but the war-weary English would not listen.

We might have an illusion of peace, such as we had before 9-11. Remember that 9-11 was our RESPONSE to terrorism, not the cause of it. Some Lib-tards somehow get it confused in their little minds that the terrorists attacked because we invaded Afghanistan or Iraq.

We had "peace" with the USSR for 50 years, during which time they gobbled up territory all around the world, endangering our existence. Luckily, Ronald Reagan was able to employ the most brilliant tactic: he simply demoralized them and bankrupted them so that they had no choice but to dismantle their bloated empire.

So, we could withdraw from the Middle East, and sip Starbucks coffee after some cozy little Global Warming rally, congratulating ourselves on how smart we were to leave the Middle East alone.... until the radio reports that a nuke was just detonated in New York harbor.

"Peace" isn't always what you think it is.

Answer 3

Peace is not a birth right to be taken lightly.
It entails sacrifice and defending, something the liberals have forgotten. In the real world, the Islamic radicals have declared war against peace. Again, something the liberals have forgotten.

It's not a dirty word for republicans, nor is it something that just happens because we think it should. There was no peace in NY on 9/11 - there is no peace in Darfur, or Israel, or anywhere else that the radical Islamic ideology turns to terror and murder of innocent victims to further their agenda of hate and domination.

Answer 4

Peace would be great. Tell me how to make it happen.

Lets look at the issue of Muslim extremists, they should be the FIRST to support peace.

"Islam" (the name of the religion a Muslim supposedly follows) = "Peace" in Arabic.

Islamic Jihad = Peaceful Holy War.
That sounds like an "oxymoron" (self-contradicting statement) but its not.

There has been only ONE recorded peaceful holy war and it wasn't conducted by Muslims....

Gandhi, a small, frail, seemingly insignificant person made the British Empire pack up their toys and go home by.... not eating.
No guns
No bombs
No corpses.

THAT is peaceful holy war.

**************

Now if the members of a religion that NAMED ITSELF "Peace" can't learn from the example of Gandhi... why would you expect it of anyone else?

Answer 5

The Administration’s new policy for containing Iran seems to complicate its strategy for winning the war in Iraq. Patrick Clawson, an expert on Iran and the deputy director for research at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, argued, however, that closer ties between the United States and moderate or even radical Sunnis could put “fear” into the government of Prime Minister Maliki and “make him worry that the Sunnis could actually win” the civil war there. Clawson said that this might give Maliki an incentive to coöperate with the United States in suppressing radical Shiite militias, such as Moqtada al-Sadr’s Mahdi Army.

Even so, for the moment, the U.S. remains dependent on the coöperation of Iraqi Shiite leaders. The Mahdi Army may be openly hostile to American interests, but other Shiite militias are counted as U.S. allies. Both Moqtada al-Sadr and the White House back Maliki. A memorandum written late last year by Stephen Hadley, the national-security adviser, suggested that the Administration try to separate Maliki from his more radical Shiite allies by building his base among moderate Sunnis and Kurds, but so far the trends have been in the opposite direction. As the Iraqi Army continues to founder in its confrontations with insurgents, the power of the Shiite militias has steadily increased.

Flynt Leverett, a former Bush Administration National Security Council official, told me that “there is nothing coincidental or ironic” about the new strategy with regard to Iraq. “The Administration is trying to make a case that Iran is more dangerous and more provocative than the Sunni insurgents to American interests in Iraq, when—if you look at the actual casualty numbers—the punishment inflicted on America by the Sunnis is greater by an order of magnitude,” Leverett said. “This is all part of the campaign of provocative steps to increase the pressure on Iran. The idea is that at some point the Iranians will respond and then the Administration will have an open door to strike at them.”

You get a doggy biscuit.

Answer 8

Why is honesty and reason such dirty words for Liberals?
Or maybe their favorite word is surrender?
Liberals always make up the filthiest lies to tell about their opponents. That is why it is so much fun to watch the Democrat primaries.

Answer 9

Simply because Peace is not a money maker for the capitalists that control the republican party. As for the everyday republican, they have absolutely no idea what the upper and controlling echelon of the party stands for. They just follow ignorantly!!!
