In the cool early light of the morning after, there's a question American voters must ask themselves, a question more important than any posed last night to George W. Bush and John F. Kerry.
Who are we? Who have we become? What kind of people do we want to be? These are questions for the debate that counts.
The extrusions of that vile species (erectus porcinus) who murdered 35 of their own children yesterday in the streets of Baghdad in the name of a malignant theology of an eighth-century religion, imagine that we're no tougher, no more resilient, no more courageous than the French, who can never even defend themselves; the Germans, who can't push themselves away from a plate of sausages long enough to recognize peril; or the Spanish, who demonstrated in the aftermath of the Madrid railway bombing that when the going gets tough it's time to cut and run.[snip]
Smug and vain, John Kerry presents himself as the John Paul Jones of the Mekong, the war hero who fears no foe. Maybe he doesn't. But he can't reconcile himself to the harsh and unforgiving fact that we're at war again, and this time against an enemy more vile, more depraved and more wicked than any America has faced before. Maybe he knows that. Whatever he may think, or feel in the marrow of his bones, he cannot jettison the dead weight of the leftmost elements of his party, either now, when his candidacy falters, or later, in the unlikely event he becomes the 44th president. He must be the cut-and-run candidate, just as he would have to be the cut-and-run president.

Someone inna MSM who has a clue. How refreshing.
ALL I CAN SAY IS "WOW" AND "wow" AGAIN..DRUDGE NEEDS TO PUT THIS ON THIS SITE..IT WAS GREAT
Holy crap! Smackdown.
I just can't figure out how you can be a war hero when you've been against every single war or conflict this country has ever been involved in.
Wes and the Washington Times are not exactly mainstream media. They are our allies.
Do NOT miss this article!!!
Damn hard hitting. Toughest I've heard it said to date. Good article.
Good one, "Global Test" is here to stay and Dubya picked up on it immediately. Like a hunting dog on point.

Oh my! :^)
Thank you for the ping..have passed along..g'nite!
Thanks,Howlin,I'll read it right now and get back to you. :-)
Just wow!
When you have a communist media helping you every step of the way, it isn't hard. The fact that this man even made it to the senate and has stayed on, is a sad commentary on our nations media.
I think I would drop over and DIE if my paper, Cleveland Plain Dealer, ran ANYTHING close to this. Page after page of pure propagada, doom and gloom. sigh
Fabulous article...thanks.
Boy, W didn't need to wield any swords tonight.
Many mightier pens will be forthcoming.
What's scary is that similar voices are raised in our own midst, that a serious, credible candidate for president of the United States encourages these voices of fear with articulate nuances, subtleties, modulations, explanations, variations, distinctions, innuendos and pious evasions.
Kerry is a sophist. He will become anything for for his own political expediency, for his own advancement. Truly, I was "Howlin" inside when he stated "I have never wavered."
My whole family was "howlin'" everytime he brought up his military service. It was like watching "MAD TV"
