Democrats promote patriotism, national security (This should be "April Fools" joke, but isn't)

[FairOpinion]

Democrats put their distinguished soldiers on stage at their state convention with messages of patriotism and a strong national defense.

Four-star Gen. Wesley Clark and decorated Vietnam veteran Max Cleland, a former Georgia senator, told delegates Saturday that the administration has botched the war in Iraq and Democrats would be better at handling national security.

"We're strong on defense. That's the message that I want people to hear," Clark said, during one of the few times he raised his voice during the keynote speech. "We've got to talk it up."

Clark, who ran unsuccessfully for president in 2004, said the war on terror has been marked by "macho slogans" and "incredible failures." He said the world has become more dangerous under the Bush administration.

Clark touted a Democratic plan on national security that was released earlier in the week. He said it includes strategy to pull U.S. troops out of Iraq and better equipment for the military.

"This is bigger than North Dakota. It's bigger than our communities," Clark said. "This is about the future of the United States of America and we need to start now."

"Democrats promote patriotism, national security"

It's like the A. Lincoln joke: "How many legs does a dog have if you call the tail a leg?"

"Answer: Four - calling a tail a leg doesn't make it a leg."

poor Max Cleland the man who tried to catch the wrong grenade

Max did suffer horrible injuries in Viet Nam. We should all be sorry about that. But I do get annoyed with the people who try to make his injuries heroic - he did something stupid. His injuries had nothing to do with the war.

But if you phrase things carefully enough, you can always fine someone gullible enough to believe what you want them to believe.

So I guess Dick Turban Durbin no longer believes our troops are Nazis?

Good post...let's not forgot that these 'rats are traitors and still embolden our enemies

Isn't it always interesting how the rotten ThugoRats have to run as conservatives to even have a slight chance of winning....nice try Kerry, but we know better.

The RATS guarantee they will get Osama, are they going to raid either Pakistan or Iran? I know one thing for sure Osama is not sitting in some DC watering hole knocking back shots with Teddy K.

I am glad that the Democrats came out with this drivel. They have done nothing more than provide us with ammunition. Their words and deeds are out there, ready to be plucked. Countering their new words and actions with their past words and actions, they have basically shot themselves with this one.


What We Are About To Do Here Is What The Good Lord Would Call A Cleansing of the Wicked. I Call It A Good Old Fashioned Texas Ass Kicking.

DEMOCRATS ARE LYING PUKES!~

Politics was supposed to stop at the water's edge--but consistently the 'rats (and I used to be one, believe me, I know!) have attacked our Commander in Chief when it comes to the use of our armed forces to defend America.

When that perjuring jackass Bill Clinton used an attack on Iraq as a smokescreen before impeachment, the Republican party by and large did not use the occasion to attack the White House. Instead, they listened and gave the occupant of the Oval office the due deference.

For the past 3+ years, the people who are out of power--the DEMOCRATS--have used the President as a punching bag in regard to his foreign policy and it is a freaking shame.

Americans ought to SUPPORT the President when it comes to our troops. Instead, the 'rats have used the occasion to bash Bush and encourage the terrorists.

The rhetoric of the Islamic terrorists, Al Qaeda on Al-Jazeera and Saddam Hussein at his trial MATCHES CONSISTENTLY the rhetoric of the Democrat party and their liberal anti-war friends!

That is a fact and all the window dressing about "national security" the Democrat party operatives are now trying to drum up is like putting a dress on a pig--it doesn't fly.

I heard you, loser. Now STFU.

[I got the rope]

Whoa brother...relax...let me poor you some coffee.

[Enchante]

8 years of Clinton/Clinton/Gorelite gave us endless retreat and cowering from terrorism, and just where exactly was all this "better equipment for the military" then??? Someone tell Weasely Clark that the equipment we took into Iraq was the equipment bequeathed by the Reagan/Bush era - and then the Clintonistas spent 8 years celebrating the end of the Cold War and no more "bi-polar world"...... meanwhile the Islamo-fascists just grew stronger and stronger.

Yeah, the Demagogues really understand national security! I'm convinced, aren't you?

[TeddyCon]

Oh yes he does! I miss him somethin' awful.

Cus' I'm The Moonba...err,the Taxman! ; )

[T.L.Sink]

All they need now is Kerry - who served in VietNam and would gladly " report for duty."

[LibertarianInExile]

"Wow. What a plan. Surrendering, cutting and running, and then promising better equipment (which you know would never happen). I feel safer already."

LOL. So they're all for dropping our guns, just so long as they're GOOD guns.

[pcottraux]

Well said.

[goldstategop]

They can save six pages of bold-faced platitudes with one simple phrase: LET'S SURRENDER! They never heard of that General in Bastogne surrounded by the Germans who told them in one word what they could do with their ultimatum.

“Better Equipment”??? What? Better pillows? Luxury Barracks? Old M-16 jamming machines??? New Blue Helmets??? Please Explain future SECDEF Clark!
