Don't Underestimate Antiwar Forces

With the growing influence of the antiwar left in this country, particularly emboldened by the November congressional elections, I fear for our nation as I consider the strong possibility it could elect a liberal, antiwar commander in chief during wartime.

"Chill out," you say. "These people have been protesting for years. They're just fringe extremists and no one listens to them."

Really? It would be nice if they could be so easily dismissed. But these so-called extremists -- many of them Sixties radicals -- just happen to dominate our universities, and their sympathizers "own" the mainstream media. There are far more of them in government and politics than you think, and their impact is significant.

One of them would be commander in chief today but for some 120,000 votes in Ohio, or the noble efforts of certain Swift Boat patriots to highlight the other side of his military record.

People are way too casual about all of this. Surely someone as distinguished and powerful as John Kerry couldn't conceivably be contemptuous of this country. Indeed, every time Kerry uttered an America-bashing remark or expressed his willingness to compromise American sovereignty during the 2004 campaign, his weary defenders adamantly denied his words should be understood by their plain meaning.

anyone who can attend an anti war rally with a straight face has no soul

Half or more of our population hate the America that we love. You know who they are.

Nice to see Mr. D. Limbaugh has a link to Free Republic on his home page.

I have a feeling that it will happen in '08.

The seeds were sown in '06.

Maverick Russ Fiengold is suggesting cutting funding
within six months he's obviously working off of his
Al Queda timetable.
These idiots in Washington are going to ignore Al Queda
to death, this is their grand plan .

How in hell did a bunch of smelly overage hippies wind up with so much influence?

Did Reagan straighten out America in vain?

Have we fallen that far?

[Entrepreneur]

unfortunately, yes

[PetroniusMaximus]

The terrorists will sense our weakness and strike us hard.

Then America may wake up.

I'm not dismissing them at all. Quite to the contrary, I see the ease with which they cowed the authorities in Washington DC last weekend and defaced government building without fear of

I recall the recent decision of the 9th circus that turned legal jurisprudence on its head and decided the protesters of Seattle's WTO riots were the injured parties and the people who tried to keep them from burning down the town the "bad guys".

So I welcome their "emboldening" because I want confrontation. I want a fight. I want to pay the Dhimmicrats back for years of listening to their whining, their wheedling, and their lies. I want to pay them back for turning our cities into open sewers, for turning our culture into a vomitorium, and for turning our schools into propaganda camps.

I look forward to open warfare.

Unfortunately (depending on your vantage point) it won't happen because, above all else, liberals are cowards.

They slid into careers that allowed them to spend their time and public money on their beliefs. The rest of us had real jobs and neither the time nor money to counter them.
