Yep. I remember the anti-war protests in Union Square Park, in the former shadow of the Twin Towers, within days after 9/11.
I remember arguing with a female co-worker, a lefty, over whether we should even fight Bin Laden and the Taliban in Afghanistan, while outside out the window, Ground Zero was smoldering.
I remember the relentless doom and gloom over the Afghan war; the NYT, the Village Voice, the New Yorker, Sydney Schanberg, the Dems, the left. Now they all look back and pretend they were gung ho from the start.
And we all know about Iraq, and the desperate efforts to see this President defeated and destroyed. The Patriot Act, Guantanamo Bay, the rights of illegal Arab immigrants... THAT'S what gets them passionate. And they hate nothing in the world so much as patriotic, God-fearing Americans.
John Kerry and his kind can go eff himself. I don't care if he's a vet...the reckless garbage he's spewing right now about America outweighs that a thousand-fold.
