Two Democrat Crappers...

snip... But in today’s Democratic Party it’s the mainstream that gets marginalized. Forty years ago, George Aiken recommended that in Vietnam America “declare victory and go home.” Today, the likes of Jack Murtha, John Kerry and Ted Kennedy have come up with their own ingenious improvement: declare defeat and go home. Having voted for the war before he voted against it, Senator Kerry has now effortlessly re-twisted his pretzel of a spine: Last week, he voted to lose Iraq even though we’re winning it. Even if there’s no civil war, even if the insurgency’s leader is dead and his network in ruins, even if the Iraqis are making huge progress in self-government, even if by any historical standard everything’s going swell, the Defeaticrats refuse to budge: America needs to throw in the towel and hightail it out of there by the end of the year, which is the date Kerry is demanding we surrender by.
snip...
In the early 1970s, when John Kerry was insisting we’d get out of Vietnam at very little cost, he at least could plead ignorance: He didn’t know what would come after. In 2006, we all know what followed – boat people, Cambodia’s killing fields, globalized dominoes falling from Grenada to Iran. When Murtha, Kerry and Co. effectively demand that America agree to re-traumatize itself in the humiliation of an even bigger geopolitical capitulation, one assumes they’re failing to consider where the dominoes would fall this time round – in Afghanistan, in Jordan, in Turkey and beyond. It would end the American moment: Why would Russia, China or even Belgium take American power seriously ever again?

Ending the American movement is exactly what Kerry, Murtha, et al are after.
This guy is a tremendous writer.
you can say that again!
I have the perfect picture of 'nekid' bicycle riders but will not post it, lol.
This is clear to anyone willing to give it just 2 minutes of honest thought.
This party's brand of 'patriotism' is the most eccentric form of solidarity ever seen in this country's history. It's fained and insincere. It's not fooling anyone who takes the preservation of this country seriously, even over his own life.
Murtha has become the traitorous mouthpiece for the Democratic party. Pelosi, Reid and Kerry add their two bits worth from time to time but I guess they feel it's not too difficult to control him being he seems to be suffering the onset of dementia. And then too, if the plan fails he is an acceptable sacrifice.
I love it.
Finally, a pr0per title.
"Today, the likes of Jack Murtha, John Kerry and Ted Kennedy have come up with their own ingenious improvement: declare defeat and go home."
That's about the size of it.
We are winning, but the gouing is a bit rought, so let's turn tail and run -- let the world and the terrorists see that all they have to do is kill a few thousand Americans, and the "big, strong USA" will run away, giving terrorists the victory and the means to keep killing us right here in our homeland.
Naked bicyclists - almost too perfect.
Defeaticrats being "in your face," juvenile, and yet, ever so superficial -- acting as if they held a position worthy of their pretensions.
I'm embarrassed for them...
