To prepare for General David Petraeus's long-awaited testimony on Iraq to Congress last week, the liberal pressure group MoveOn.org wrote itself into the history books with an anti-Petraeus ad so repulsive ...

America's political spectrum a decade or more in the future will be defined by two parties both born of today's GOP after a natural and painless mitosis. There's at least as much distance between a Rudy Giuliani and a Mike Huckabee as there ever was between JFK and Nixon, or even Adlai Stevenson and Dwight Eisenhower. Americans traditionally like their two opposing parties to differ on domestic affairs but agree on basic foreign policy--not because things are nicer that way; rather because foreign-policy arguments are good for our enemies, bad for our friends, and hugely dangerous to ourselves

Excerpted the first and last paragraphs, the last paragraph summation being quite interesting.
It is rather fun watching people twist and wriggle in their attempts to pretend that the DNC is anything other than a traditional enemy bent on the destruction of our nation.
I don’t mean that as aimed at you or this particular article posted, just a general observation.
Amen.

Have you read the whole article yet? It is *not* an apology for the DNC but much rather an indictment on how they’re becoming irrelevant and downright dangerous in their approach to political discourse in the U.S.
Excellent article. Thanks...

Great post. The above is accurate but very insufficient. Those three traits paint the democrats as if they were naive. They are not. As explained in David Horowitz' Unholy Alliance, both the left and Islam fight for the same goal, defeat of capitalism and the West.
Yes I did read it prior to posting, that’s why I added that bit at the end of my rant lite.
I do understand your asking, I wasn’t much close to on topic. Sorry bout that.
There’s almost a late 1850s feel to our current political divide.
He has explained why the left wants to lose in Iraq. Or, more accurately, wants to see America defeated in Iraq.
It's a history lesson...
Thank you.
A line from an old Sci-Fi (i think it was Heinlein but I’m not sure) the only thing governments fear is people in the streets. If we cannot take and hold the streets of Washington DC and New York, then no victory on foreign fields can save America.
The cards are face up on the table now. The future of America is at stake ... do we succumb to all the evils of the world in which this Nation was built upon resisting? Or do we slink into the sewer like civilizations before us had done?
I think we all know the answer to that
Breathtaking in its clarity of the issues.
Yes. Thanks for saying that. I feel it to. In fact, I don't think the Left can give up, nor can we, so something--one of us--will have to give.
Since the Left's stance emboldens our enemies, likely it will be another attack. But then again, as long as the other half of us remain vigilant, perhaps not.
One thing I've truly admired about Pres Bush, despite my disagreement over immigration, is his integrity and fortitude. He has taken a ton of abuse, but has stuck to his guns on the War. This has mitigated any success the enemy could garner due to our Leftists treason.
The tipping point will be the election. If the Left pulls this off, and Mrs Clinton wins, then Ft Sumter is not far off.
Ad Triarios Redisse!
I question that statement.
The New York Times is suffering from declining readership along with most newspapers.
Ironically, the left in control of our schools has resulted in greater illiteracy. The literate among us are learning more about current events from the Internet than from newspapers written by communist sympathizers.
It doesn't matter what the leftists print if their disciples can't read it.
Pacifist globalism is more closely related to Leninism and the rise of international communism bent on world domination with the Russian revolution being contemp;oraneous with WWI and exploiting the horror of its carnage. Some day soon we’d better wake up and realize that we are kidding ourselves when we think the cold war is over. The other side is spoiing for a rematch.
I concur with you on this, that there is a civil war percolating within our citizenry ... not along geographic/political lines as in the 1800's, but along ideological lines between constitutionalists and tyrannical dictators of which the US Constitution was specifically designed to thwart in the first place. The difference now is that the left politicians refuse to play by constitutional rules and the right is so beholden to 'political correctness'(which the left created) in fear of looking bad politically, that there is a great amount of anger and animosity within the electorate.
Al-Qaeda Criticizes Petraeus Report
Ayman Muhammad Rabaie al-Zawahiri, the al-Qaeda terrorist organization’s second in command after Osama bin Laden, criticized General David Patraeus’ report on the Iraq War as “warmed-over Bush Administration propaganda” that requires “a willing suspension of disbelief on the part of the listener.”
“President Bush’s strategy in Iraq has failed,” Zawahiri continued. “It is time to change course and withdraw the troops so that the Islamification of the country can proceed with a minimum of bloodshed.”
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei seconded Zawahiri’s take on the General’s report. “It is not a credible report,” Khamenei insisted. “The words of an infidel are not to be trusted.” Khamenei further demanded that President Bush be brought to trial for war crimes, as Saddam Hussein was, and eventually hanged.
In related news, a poll conducted by Zogby International for 911Truth.org found that 61 percent of those calling themselves politically “liberal” or “progressive” would support the idea of putting the President on trial for war crimes. “We need to bring the troops home so they can fight the real enemy—the Republican Party,” said a poll respondent from Washington, D.C. “It was the Bush Administration that dynamited the twin towers. Al-Qaeda is just a scapegoat.”
