Brutal terrorists are no nationalists
By FRANCIS BROADHURST
Many of us have patiently waited for the left-wing, anti-Bush, anti-war protest professionals to get a grip on themselves and come to their senses. It hasn't happened.
Instead, our Ivory tower utopians have become more vicious and negative. Nationally known lefties and their local ''amen'' choirs have unleashed one of the nastiest campaigns in history to discredit those who disagree with them about the war, terrorists, the fight to restore sanity to the U.S. Supreme Court, and other issues. Militant left-wing zealots are easy to spot. Despite pious protestations to the contrary, they seek to portray conservatives as neo-Nazis, born-again Hitlers and racist thugs who beat up on the poor. Their highly organized, well-funded efforts to substitute fiction for fact are so far fetched it is laughable. But I'm not laughing. They may be winning the propaganda war.
One of my correspondents ''informed'' me that the segregationists and white supremacists of the South have all reverted to their ''Republican'' roots of the 19th century. He apparently forgot the Republican Party did not exist in the ante-bellum South. The GOP, which propelled Abe Lincoln into the presidency, was the party of abolition, free soil, and hard money.
Somehow the racist, anti-Semitic leanings of the Southern Democrat party, with its roots in Jeffersonian devotion to slavery, soft money and an agrarian economy, gets pushed behind a curtain.
Lies can have the desired effect sought by those deep thinkers who consider our Constitution a formula for national suicide. Throw enough mud and some will stick. History is so poorly taught in America and seldom learned, neo-lefties often get away with their whoppers. They wrap themselves in the flag and then proceed to burn it to protest Amerika - the new Nazi Reich out to do us in.
They call themselves ''patriots'' and consider terrorists who butcher the innocent ''nationalists'' fighting oppressive American imperialism.
Bush-haters either start out or end up calling our president a liar who ''stole'' the 2000 election. They start or end up saying Bush ''lied to the American people'' to get us in a war of imperialism in the Middle East.
They neglect to admit that Bush was lied to or misinformed by the very people we pay to protect us. They ignore the fact that President Clinton, Congress, the United Nations, France, Germany and the rest of the Free World all believed Saddam Hussein had stockpiled weapons of mass destruction, used them against Iran as well as his own people prior to American and British enforcement of previously unenforced U.N. sanctions.
It is easy for them to shovel this malarkey. They don't have to believe it, but they seem compelled to keep playing the same song. It has been part of the liberal mantra since they tried to hijack the 2000 election in Florida and other places where they could stuff the ballot boxes.
These political lemmings love to compare the war on terror with Vietnam. The only similarity to Vietnam is the virulence of the organized anti-war protesters. Back then, LBJ lied to get the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution passed; his Defense Secretary, Robert McNamara, now admits he deliberately lied to the American people. The politicians micro-managed that war and snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.
Today, ''Islamo-fascists'' have sworn to destroy or enslave all Christians and Jews as they pursue a brutal perversion of Islam. Those who call these murderous beasts ''nationalists'' make a mockery of tolerance. They are the ''useful idiots'' so eloquently described by Lenin, who used the alleged intelligentsia to undermine freedom everywhere in the name of international brotherhood.
They proclaim they support our troops; but they undermine them and encourage an enemy pledged to destroy us. The terrorists learned much from our anti-war movement, but our homegrown protestors have learned nothing.

This article highlights the very reason I think it's so important that we haul ourselves out to Crawford this weekend, and take care of business.
The Democrats lack the courage to tell her what she needs to hear. That leaves it up to you. Repudiate her and tell her she has more or no less claim to moral sanctity than anyone else who wakes up in the morning and reads a newspaper.
I heard that the Waco KKK gave their support to Cindy Sheehan. Then again they offered their support to the ATF outside of Koresh's property as well.
The KKK is also of import when one considers the post-war Iraqi reconstruction. The terrorists we fight there today are akin to the KKK of the reconstruction Southern US.
WHO among the left would dare call them "freedom fighters", "minutemen", or rally behind their victory? Mrs. Sheehan has the support of a number of signers to the pledge of support for "Iraqi Resistance".
Iraq watching U.S. anti-war feeling closely-Zebari
ROME, Aug 25 (Reuters) - Iraqi leaders are closely watching the growth of the anti-war movement in the United States and understand that Americans will become frustrated without more progress, Foreign Minister Hoshiyar Zebari said on Thursday.
Zebari, on a two-day trip to Italy, also said the next few months would "make or break" Iraq but that allies should stick together and not send what he called mixed or confused signals.
He said he sympathised with anti-war protester Cindy Sheehan and others who have lost loved ones in Iraq but that it would be "disastrous" if the protests led to any cracks in the coalition or premature withdrawal.
Have to love that the left thinks the US Supreme Court is infalible except when they decided that the Florida Supreme Court was acting beyond their powers.
The left wants us to "end the war" in Iraq. What war? We do not fight Iraqis. We stand there to defend the transitionary Iraqi government, which is holding open elections.
Other Middle Eastern nations are not happy to see democracy thrive over there.
If the "resistance" had any popular support over there, they should be able to sweep the elections.
CINDY SAYS "FREEDOM FIGHTERS" KILLED CASEY???
BINGO.......Agree.....Present Iraq situation has more similarity to southern Reconstruction than Vietnam!
FYI PING..........READ this column in Kennedy's home town newspaper........PING
The left is illogical....and the left lies!
MSM repeats their illogical lies because the MSM are neo-lefties!
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeee eeeeeee eeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeW eeeeee eeeeee eeeeeeee eeeeee eeeeee eeeeee eeeee eeeeeee eeeeee eeeeeeeee eeeeee eeeeee eeeeee eeeee eeeeee eeeeee eeeeeeeeee eeeeee eeeeee eeee eeeee eeeeee eeeeee eeeeeeeeeee eeeeee eeeeee eeeee eeeee eeeeee eeeeee eeeeeeeeeeee eeeeee eeeeee eeeee eeezee eeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeee eeeeee eeeee eeeeeee eeeeee eeeeee eeeeee eeeeee eeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeee eeeeee eeeeee eeeeee eeeeee eeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeee eeeeee eeeeee eeeeee eeeeee eeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeee eeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeee eeeeeeeeee eeeee eeeeee eeeeee eeeeeeeeeeee eeeeee eeeee eeeee eeeeee eeeeee eeeeeeeeeeee eeeeee eeeee eeeee eeeeee eeeeee eeeeeeeeeee eeeeee eeeee eeeee eeeeee eeeeee eeeeeeeee eeeeee eeeee eeeee eeeeee eeeeee eeeeeeee eeeeee eeeeee eeeee eeeeee eeeeee eeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
That kind of logic is completely lost on the lefties! They are all for feeeeeeelings, not logic! Doesn't matter what it means, it's all in how it makes you feel!
