The Coming Liberal Crack-up?

Here is an example of the clueless crowd that Dem congressmen listen to!

More thoughts on Iraq and the War on Terrorism

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." -John Stuart Mill.

The American Anti-war faction loves to say they support the troops but oppose the war. Let's take a look at how they support the troops:

• Senator John Kerry "joked" last fall smart people who work hard become successful, but uneducated sluggards "get stuck in Iraq."
• Washington Senator Patty Murray explained in 2002, Osama bin Laden is beloved by Muslims for "building schools, building roads . . . building day-care facilities,", while Americans only show up to "bomb in Iraq and go to Afghanistan."
• Illinois Senator Dick Durbin took to the Senate floor to equate US military interrogators in Guantanamo Bay with "Nazis, Soviets in their gulags," and similar mass-murderers, such as "Pol Pot or others."
• Barack Obama declared that the lives laid down by troops in Iraq were "wasted,"
• ROTC is banned on elite college campuses.
• An Ivy League professor prays for "a million Mogadishus."
• San Francisco bars a historic battleship from its port.
• Signs at antiwar protests urge troops to "shoot their officers."
• Michael Moore compares Iraqi insurgents who kill Americans to the Minutemen of Revolutionary New England.

In each one of these instances, the condemnation by Democrats has been tepid or silent. With support like this, who needs al Qaeda?

Death by 246 undercuts: House Democrats vote for slow exsanguinating bleed before cut and run

Assisted by 17 Republicans, House Democrats passed a non-binding concurrent resolution to oppose President Bush’s new Iraq policy.

After years of Democrat carping over the need for more troops, a different strategy, increased Iraqi involvement and more diplomatic efforts, the President conceded to them and gave the Democrats what they wanted, only to be rebuffed and rebuked.

Once again, Democrats demonstrate that they cannot be trusted to defend the nation.

The anti-war factions love to paint Iraq as another Vietnam. With this vote they got their wish.

The 1968 Tet Offensive was seen as a costly military failure by the North Vietnamese. Their attempt to spark a “general uprising” against the South Vietnamese government in the wake of what was to be a successful offensive did not work. Unfortunately, the media and the anti-war factions spun a North Vietnamese defeat into an American Defeat.

The North Vietnamese were ready to sue for peace, however, as North Vietnamese General Vo Nguyen Giap said in his 1985 memoir about the war, if it weren't for organizations like Kerry's Vietnam Veterans Against the War, Hanoi would have surrendered to the U.S. The rest, as they say, is history.

It may be too soon to accurately assess the impact of this vote. To be sure, one can make a credible argument that it emboldens the enemy and undercuts our troops. The Democrats have codified their policy of cut and run or cut and walk or cut and crawl into bleed out support and leave.

Thought for the Day

For all those who criticize the military and the Iraq War:
"We sleep soundly in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm." - Winston Churchill

Support Our Troops

Send our Troops a Message of support. They need support not just for them as fighters, but especially support for their mission. They need your gratitude for what they are doing in Iraq.

With this kind of trash floating around the Washington toilet bowl, they need it.

Dems Can't Be Trusted With National Security

I know it not a very pleasant thought for Christmas Day, but what will these clowns say if we withdraw from Iraq and the terrorist inevitably follow us back home for attacks on our homeland.

Message to our troops overseas

While your spirits may be somewhat low because you are far from home during this holiday period, know well with full confidence and certainty that you are loved, respected and held in the highest esteem by your not only your family and friends back home, but also prayed for and supported by legions of ordinary people you may never meet.

This legion is comprised of people who rightly understand your mission and its consequenses.

We will steadfastly stand by you with full devotion. Let no craven defeatist deter you in your commitment to bring freedom and liberty to an oppressed people.

May God, the Grand Architect of the Universe, hold you, sustain you and protect you while you are in harm's way.

Sursum Corda

Sooners and Later

Great comment from a reader of American Spectator that really sums up the Iraq Study Group’s leader, Jim Baker. Who says Sooners usually get it later?:

"Thanks for the excellent analysis of the Iraq Study Group's report by Philip Klein (Realist Fantasies). I have little to add except to remind readers that this is the same James Baker who left Saddam Hussein in power after the first Gulf war, then refused to help the Kurds and Shia when Hussein began to slaughter them by the hundreds of thousands. He's the same Baker who tried to prop up Gorbachev in order to keep the USSR from falling apart. He's a loser in international relations and recruited like-minded losers for his study group. It's no wonder he recommends the same losing strategy that he used to worsen the Israeli/Palestinian situation. -- Roger D. McKinney, Broken Arrow, Oklahoma"

Great Interview on John Kerry

Great interview with Carlton Sherwood today on “The Voice”, WVLZ 1180, Southern Roots Radio. Sherwood is the producer of the documentary “Stolen Honor” about John Kerry's anti-war antics. Worth listening to.
