Lawrence:As long as America produces men willing to volunteer to fight our 
wars, then the Left-Wingers and Pacifists can stay safely home and avoid them. 
But if their political arguments eventually silence the opposition, and no one 
is willing to volunteer, then when the next emergencies occur, America will 
have to resume recruitment drafts and they will have to go to war, like it or 
not.

Lawrence, have you looked into how many "left wingers" and conservative 
Congressmen currently in the Congress volunteered for service?  If not, your 
tirade against "left wingers" is totally baseless.  And have you forgotten that 
"Patricians" could buy their way out of service in our Civil War?  Currently, 
recruitment is great, because the economy is so bad.  When Republicans take 
total power again, hiring will resume.  In the meanwhile, the original plan 
moves ahead: destroy Obama, by Republican politicians, by corporations, by any 
means available.
