Democrats usually turn livid over the slightest hint that their patriotism is being challenged. But the actions of California's Democrat-controlled State Assembly this week have certainly given critics a lot of ammunition.

Republican Assemblyman Jay LaSuer of San Diego had arranged for Vietnam war hero Admiral Jeremiah Denton to come to California to be a part of a 4th of July ceremony held on the Assembly floor.

...According to Golden State Assembly Republican John Campbell, "the Democratic leadership refused to allow [Denton] on the Assembly floor and there will be no 4th of July celebration."

A memo from the Democratic speaker's office cited "problems . . . with regards to the spirit, content and participation of various individuals with regard to the ceremony."

Expressing his dismay at the disgraceful conduct of his Democratic colleagues, Campbell noted that the Assembly has hosted celebrations in the past for Cinco de Mayo, St. Patrick's Day and Chinese New Year's.

"But never once have we celebrated America's Independence Day," he lamented.

That about wraps it up.

The Dummycrats are socialists, almost communists, bent at destroying the American way of life and the liberal news media is propagating their acitons. I certinally hope that the good people of America wake up soon and throw these liberal traitors out of office. If not, our children will be speaking French instead of English.
