The betrayal of America
The Augusta Free Press ^ | February 20, 2006 | Max Friedman

Posted on 02/28/2006 3:36:19 PM PST by EveningStar

This column is a rant, not a soft, cuddly piece of fluff opinion. It is going to tell the truth like you have never heard it before. To quote Jack Nicholson from the movie "A Few Good Men" - "You want the truth? You can't handle the truth" - but I'm going to give it to you anyway.

So, as your mother used to do to those of you readers who are old enough to remember, hold your nose and take your medicine, because the doctor is in, and he's operating with a chainsaw.

After 35 years in the news/journalism business, from D.C. to Vietnam, I can honestly say that most of the leading Democratic Party politicians and their far-left support groups are traitors to this country. Besides the few who are deceased or out of office, today's DP is loaded with leaders who have sold out this country to the communists, to the Islamofascists and to their egos. Others are just plain stupid, addle-brained and knee-jerk jerks.

(I'll get to the Republicans in a minute)...

It was a rant, and, sentimentally sympathetic though I am, I couldn't much take it seriously.

One really odd weak spot, IMHO, was his gentle obsession with that RINO snake Arlen Specter. He gave the guy more attention than he deserves (there are a lot of snakes in the pit) but never really bodyslammed him...never got around to Arlen's real problem which is his gigantic ego. Specter screws us more often just to make himself look smart rather than for real ideological or political reasons.

Ashamed to waste so many words on Specter and neglect to say what a complete jerk he is. I mean when you're not holding back.....

[SNIP]. Pincus has had a long relationship with the CIA. Herbert Romerstein, a veteran investigator of Soviet subversion, disinformation and espionage, says Pincus and Gloria Steinem attended a Communist International Youth Festival in Vienna in 1959, with funds provided by the CIA. The CIA financed at least one more trip for Pincus in 1960. He has said that he rejected a job offer from CIA. During the Clinton years, Pincus enjoyed access to high-ranking CIA officials. He consistently portrayed the Agency's leadership in the most favorable light-as long as that leadership came from within the Democratic Party. He has been particularly kind to George Tenet, a Clinton appointee who, has been held over by George W. Bush. [SNIP]

"Go back to 1970 and look at the timing of these stories, and you will eventually see the pattern of destruction that they have on ongoing congressional hearings, legislation, military operations, intelligence operations and the morale of the homefront and military front in the war on terror."

Good article chock full of information. I've been watching the Democrats and Republicans since and including college, and the author or anyone else, doesn't have to convince me. I am well aware of their tactics and those of of the media, and I KNOW the author is right.

We ought to be united in defeating America's enemies, both in this country and abroad...And frankly, I just don't know how to accomplish that any more.

I think it will be accomplished by the Islamo-terrorists. The run-up to WWII was marked by a reluctance, in both Europe and the US, to see the danger. And the peril never was completely understood during WWIII- the Cold War.

The situation, now, is very dangerous; but the dreamers will need more prodding to awaken them from their peaceful, imbecilic slumbers. And it's coming.

Iran, Syria, North Korea etc. need to be thrashed. And they will be, once the terrorists land the big punch that the present free world political stupidity guarantees. Too bad we can't be smarter; than again, we never have been.

No surprise to me. The Birch Society was giving out this information back in the '60's while the MSM hammered and tarred them into dust. Today, even many conservatives wince when they hear "JBS."

All too true. Much to the nation's peril, I fear...

Someone should send this to that retard Michael Weiner.

THIS is how you do a rant--anger, but with specifics, facts, and reasonable, effective solutions.

Who is this guy and why haven't I read him before?
