Really, the Democratic Party is simply amazing. What with the calls for a time table for leaving Iraq (which replaces their worn out "exit strategy" calls), the calls for investigations on pre war intelligence, and Murtha’s call to cut and run immediately, they have effectively become shills for the enemy. More and more they want to relieve the Vietnam war, where they Democratic Congress forced the USA to pull it’s troops from SE Asia. Of course, I am sure that they do not feel any blame for the millions slaughtered by the Communist forces in Vietnam or by Pol Pot, among others.
How did it come to this? Are the Democrats so shallow that they would sacrifice the prestige and power of the United States in their quest for power? Do they want the US military to be in a post war funk like it was after Vietnam? Would they really want to abandon Iraq, leaving it open to Al Queda and other Wahhabi terrorist groups, to possible civil war, and to Iran? Is that what they call Patriotism, to call for the surrender of ones own country?
Well, it isn’t patriotism in my book. These Surrender-Dems are an embarrassment. We aren’t discussing taxation or health care. We are discussing America at War. A shooting war. Iraq is part and parcel of a long term strategy against international and Middle Eastern terrorism, whether the Left likes it or not. All the Left is doing is emboldening the enemy, just like they did during Vietnam.
Now, they are welcome to speak their minds. That is their Right. And it is my Right to call them what they are: Traitors.
Update: let me add a little bit to this, from Tammy Bruce, who puts it more civily then moi (Via Right Wing News)
I don’t think September 11th is a vague memory for anyone. And when I’m asked by reporters (which I am often) of whether or not the accusations that the president "lied" to go to war are gaining traction, I note that it’s been the same accusation lobbed by the Dems for 18 months+ now, and is a smear that is obviously not sticking. After all, if you throw a noodle on the fridge to see if it’s done, and it keeps sliding off, throwing it over and over again isn’t going to change the fact that it’s not going to work. The smear in this instance not only is an insult to the president, but to all of us. It also sends a message to the enemy–that half of the leadership of this nation have a vested interest in us losing this war because they are controlled by a sickness which makes them believe them they can only win when bad things to happen to this nation.
Huzzah.
