I agree that Bush has got to fight this thing before it snowballs and gains legitimacy on the streets and around the water coolers.
I suspect the left learned more from Vietnam than we did - they have, after all being crowing about it for the last 30+ years. We have to be more active on the homefront, but it must come from the top as well as grass roots. The White House does not see itself as somehow 'above the fray' in the international front of the war on terror, and it shouldn't do so at home. This week's speech to veterans was an excellent start, but Bush cannot now retreat to his corner nd expect his words to reverberate for any more than one news cycle. He must lead from the front, make it plain that when the left attack him they are attacking America and our troops. The MSM scents blood, but a concerted effort by true Americans at all levels of society should send the clear message that it is they who are wounded and flailing.
So far, he has always come back after Labor Day and cut the legs out from under them.
I believe he'll do the same this year. We'll see what we shall see...
"Mr. Bush, take off the gloves."
What about the rest of us?
If patriotic Americans all over the country were, to use Napoleon's memorable line, to give the legacy press "a whiff of the grape," this problem would be solved in a matter of minutes.
Rush, Sean, Brit, even Savage, need to publicize these shameful remarks by Mitchell, in which he calls on the media to turn against their country in this war. How blatantly treasonous do the liberals get to be before they are called enemy sympathizers? This should be a struggle to the death between the socialist msm and the free media, and all patriots need to man the phone lines, FAXes and keyboards NOW! This absolutely must NOT be another Viet Nam, where many thousands of our troops were killed because of the enemies in the US press.
Either fight or watch this nation die.
Construction should begin immediately on the gallows to accomodate traitors of the "disloyal opposition".
