As we each reflect on that horrific day 4 years ago, we offer prayers for the families of the victims, prayers for God's blessings upon our nation, and we offer support to those in our government and Armed Forces who are working feverishly to prevent and eradicate terrorism.
It is also worthwhile to ponder the "contributions" to the war on terror made by our leading Democrat politicians and by the left-wing organizations that support them. For they too, play a role in forming policy and in driving the news seen on the front pages of our MSM.
Top 7 Liberal Accomplishments Since 9-11
7. Introduced "Why do they Hate Us" to the politcal dialogue
Within days of the attack, every Major Newspaper prominnetly featured numerous op-eds by leftie scholars and politicians who claimed that "we need to understand the rage" against the US. The not so hidden implication being, of course, that we provoked the attack. Standard culpability ranged from our "one-sided" support of Israel, to our domination of pop culture, to the Bush's friendship with the Saudi royals.
6. Doomsaying Afghanistan
Though the rage of the American people forced congress to quickly acquiesce to the Afgahn war, it did not take more than 2 weeks before the commie-left started their counter attack. In addition to "Peace" protests, the left began calling Afghanistan "another vietnam". Supposed scholars were featured on the front pages, telling us that Afghanistan was a place that could not be conquered; that all the great empires failed there. The Dem politicians immediatley began criticising Rumsfeld and Bush's plans.
5. Crucified John Ashcroft
Nevermind that the Patriot Act was passed overwhelmingly in both houses of Congress. As soon as Bush's signature was dry, the democrats began accusing Ashcroft of muslim abuse. They called him every name in the book: Nazi, McCarthyite, racist, etc. They had MORE sympathy for convict-turned jihadi Jose Padilla than for the man in charge of keeping America safe from terror attacks.
4. Sided with the French at the UN
If you read the front pages of the New York Times or listened to any Dem politician from Joe "hairplugs" Biden to Nancy "house of wax" Pelosi, one may have thought that Dominique deVillepin was our commander in chief and GWB was Al Capone. Apparently, showing a united front to the world was too much to ask.
3. Labeled Iraq a Quagmire
Despite Tommy Franks and Don Rumsfeld's brilliant battle plan, all it took was a severe sandstorm during our initial incursion for the left to start tossing around the term "quagmire". Noted NY Times peacenik columnists all of the sudden were military experts. Wesley Clark, John Kerry and the entire slate of a**holes running for the Dem nomination looked like the Monty Python gang in a purse fight, trying to be the fastest to the microphone to condemn the "failure" of our military.
2. Celebrated Abu Ghraib
The logical thing to do upon discovery of some unseemly abuse (that's abuse, not torture) at th Abu Ghraib facility, would have been to quietly press the Pentagon for a full accounting and to punish the few soldiers responsible. Instead, every blowhard Dem politician waved the photos on national TV, with the sole purpose of demoralizing our troops and embarassing the President in a time of war. The worthless left were FAR MORE outraged about underwear on a terrorist's head than they were about the jihadis sawing off the heads of US citzens or hanging their charred corpses from a bridge.
1. Selected John Kerry to run for President
All items listed above in 2 thru 7 can be distilled into this last item. The left pretended to salute Kerry's military service (as worthless as it was), when in fact the were only saluting his later involvement with the most radical of anti-war organizations. This PATHETIC traitor was the choice of democrats to be commander in chief of the United States.
It is the most graphic display of what the left in this country really thinks about September 11, 2001.
Oh. Well that would explain why all the NOW bull dykes are doing so much to try to change things for their "sisters".
Cahta sympathizes with everyone, not just Commies. He doesn't want to hurt anybody's poo wittle feewings. He's like a really nice retard.
A civil war would be fabulous. Would give me a chance to take out some bleeding hearts, as well as some criminals and free loaders.
And our side would definitely win. Not only do we have all the guns, but the dumb libs would just stand around with their stupid signs, trying to protest their way out of death by fed up bad ass conservatives.
Yeah, when you elect a President, you elect a protector, amoungst other things. What the Libs want is someone who'll lead us all cheerfully to slaughter.
He sympathized with everyone, EXCEPT for those Americans who revere tradition and our sacred history.
LOL.
I'd much rather round them up and ship 'em to europe. But if they want to fight..
Another thing some PC liberals did was: They required students in certain California school districts to take a course on Islam and to "practice jihad".
Well said Najida. And going around the world apologizing for the USA's supposed misdeeds is the sign of a truly ignorant quisling.
I remember reading about that. If I was a parent in that school district, I would have kicked the guy's ass up and down the street who made that decision.
Good summary, and I agree with #1. Just that fact that Joe Lieberman was out of the running early shows where the Democrats' collective heads were.
The fan base for serious posts is much smaller, you may have noticed! ;o)
