I actually felt myself become a republican today. It was around 10am, when I read the latest update of the Cindy Sheehan saga in CNN.com. I then shot over to read some blogs about it, and perused the comments in some of them, which was nothing but a long series of petty (albeit entertaining) partisan bickering.
Then it happend. The good little democrat in me tied the little noose around his neck and jumped off the stool. He just couldnt take it anymore.
Take what? The whining. The constant whining by the extreme left about the reasons for war, the incompetence of this administration, and how weve all been lied to, and how we should pull out of Iraq immediately, because, *gulp* our soldiers were in danger.
Guess what folks .they signed up to join the Army, not the boy scouts. Anytime your orientation to a new job involves an automatic weapon, you should be smart enough to figure out theres danger involved. I actually read some peoples comments about many of the soldiers over there being naive .they werent expecting to go to war, so, they should be allowed to go home. Wow.
Soldiers know, when they enlist, that it is entirely possible they will be shipped out and never come home. Its part of the job. The fact that people still walk in to recruiters offices and sign that piece of paper make them heroes. To imply that they are simple kids who didnt know what they were getting into, or even worse, that they died for no reason, or an immoral reason, does a horrible thing. It strips their sacrifice of the honor that it deserves...

Like all despots.
A lot of good comments following the blog. Quite a few more Democrats who are tiring of the moonbats. As one of the comments said, where are the Moynihans's of the Democrat Party, those we could disagree with yet still respect?
The moonbats have definately taken over, and they are driving the moderates out.
Thanks for pointing that out. I scrolled down quite a ways and it was very interesting.
Woohoo! Welcome to the big tent, Scott.
