Obama’s position on Afghanistan has me… confused.

A word of caution.

Please be sitting down for this post.  There is a distinct possibility your head will spin in so many directions that you’ll be unconscious by the time you’re done reading it.

I have some conservative friends who say they can still respect their friends on the left, no matter what views they hold.

Does it make me a really bad person if I can’t respect my leftist friends?  I mean, really, there’s some things that are so basic, so common sense, that if you can’t grasp them, [...]
