Already posted, but this title doesn't seem to describe it as accurately as "Hatred of Bush," IMHO.

Mort Kondracke: Ideological Conflict Menaces U.S. Ability to Fight Terrorism

[Red Badger]

Even Mort Kondracula can be right once in a while.......

True enough. Wait until the visual tracking element of the surveillance story comers out. Those whom electronic means of surveillance indicate they are up to serious mischief are watched by satellite cameras and probably UAV's within CONUS. I have no problem with this but the rats are going to scream bloody murder about 'spies in the sky', blah, blah, blah.

[Red Badger]

If just one so called journalist is prosecuted for publishing confidential material, all this hub-bub will come to a screeching halt...........

[ohioWfan]

Too bad we have so-called conservatives on this forum with hatred rivaling that of the left.

They too, are working against us in the War on Terror, though in a more subtle fashion. If they get their way, Bush and the Republicans will be 'punished' and the party of treason will be in charge of our national security.

If things don't calm down around here, our nation may well be at risk.

[ohioWfan]

Mort's not always right, but he sure is on this one.

Putting the nation at risk through hatred of the President PING.

[Oh Brother]

Although property appraisers keep a much closer watch on people already!

[robowombat]

I wish I thought so. Instead who ever was prosecuted would immediately be lionized as a martyr to freedom of the press and vilification of the Administration would go from ranting to foaming at the mouth.

Aw, c'mon - Mort is such a lovable old curmudgeon. He and Fred are my favorite grumpy old men ;-)

[Luke21]

Hey, now we are posting left wing Democrats.

If there is sucha thing as a "Flaming Moderate" he's it.........

You confuse hatred with disgust.. You're confused..
Wake up or BOHICA..

[jpsb]

It all started with Hanio Jane, why she was not tried, convicted and jailed for treason is beyond me. I totally agree with this article and I think it's time traitors get treated like traitors.

Big Bump.

[RetiredArmy]

Like socialist democrats, RINOcrats, liberals, leftists, communists, give a rat's butt what happens to this country. the sooner it falls, the better they will feel, and quicker THEY ASSUME they will ride to the rescue and be our mommies and daddies.

[ohioWfan]

No. I see hatred for what it really is..........hatred.

You, however, I see only as irrelevant.

(And I don't know what your acronym means, but I'm sure it is insulting, seeing as that's the only thing you know how to be).

Let's hear it for traitors taking over the country, eh hoser? I'm sure that'll help your 'disgust' at the President go away.....

[Dilbert56]

Hatred explains some of the Democrat behavior but not all. The seasoned rats are more interested in returning to power. If they thought giving the President a "Lewinsky" would do that there would be Congressional kneepads all over Capital Hill. They'll bash wherever it score political points. You didn't see Kennedy, Biden or Feinstein at Russ Feingold's autoerotica session did you?

The hatred group are the ones who do politically stupid things because they hate the President and can't control themselves. These would include Pelosi announcing she has no agenda except investigating events of four years ago. Why doesn't she just annouce: "we have no agenda, no plan". Next is Conyers who probably cost the Dims a shot at capturing the House when he pre-announced his rush to impeachment. I'd also include Durbin and Murtha in this group. They have no operational principle except hatred of GWB. They disgrace themselves and their offices without a second thought in the process.

And when the Rats resume control of the government they will use those very same measures they criticized. To protect themselves politically should terrorism occur here. And maybe they will use those measures to compormise their political enemies. Anyone remember President (in waiting) Hillary's FBI Files?

[George W. Bush]

Terrorists don't use landlines. Buy a clue, Mort.

Hey, now we are posting left wing Democrats.

IIRC, I've only seen Kondracke as being slightly left of Fred Barnes on "The Beltway Boys," on Foxnews.com . All the other times, he's well to the right of Juan Williams, Marla Liasson, Margaret Carlson, etc. Pick your liberal. He's the quintessential moderate, aka centrist. On this issue, he nails the left.
