THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY: A VAST SLEEPER CELL(Ann Coulter)
anncoulter.com ^ | January 3, 2007 | Ann Coulter

Posted on 01/03/2007 3:25:59 PM PST by kellynla

Fortunately for liberals, the Iraqis executed Saddam Hussein the exact same week that former President Ford died, so it didn't seem strange that Nancy Pelosi's flag was at half-staff. Also, Saddam's death made it less of a snub when Harry Reid skipped Ford's funeral.

The passing of Gerald Ford should remind Americans that Democrats are always lying in wait, ready to force a humiliating defeat on America.

More troops, fewer troops, different troops, "redeployment" — all the Democrats' peculiar little talking points are just a way of sounding busy. Who are they kidding? Democrats want to cut and run as fast as possible from Iraq, betraying the Iraqis who supported us and rewarding our enemies — exactly as they did to the South Vietnamese under Ford.

Liberals spent the Vietnam War rooting for the enemy and clamoring for America's defeat, a tradition they have brought back for the Iraq war.

They insisted on calling the Soviet-backed Vietcong "the National Liberation Front of Vietnam," just as they call Islamic fascists killing Americans in Iraq "insurgents." Ho Chi Minh was hailed as a "Jeffersonian Democrat," just as Michael Moore compares the Islamic fascists in Iraq to the Minute Men.

During the Vietnam War, New York Times scion Arthur "Pinch" Sulzberger told his father that if an American soldier ran into a North Vietnamese soldier, he would prefer for the American to get shot. "It's the other guy's country," he explained.

Now, as publisher of the Times, Pinch does all he can to help the enemy currently shooting at American soldiers.

After a half-dozen years of Democrat presidents creating a looming disaster in Vietnam — with Kennedy ordering the assassination of our own ally in the middle of the war and Johnson ham-handedly choosing bombing targets from the Oval Office — in 1969, Nixon became president and the world was safe again.

Nixon began a phased withdrawal of American ground troops, while protecting the South Vietnamese by increasing the bombings of the North, mining North Vietnamese harbors and attacking North Vietnamese military supplies in Cambodia — all actions hysterically denounced by American liberals, eager for the communists to defeat America.

Despite the massive anti-war protests staged by the Worst Generation, their takeovers of university buildings and their bombings of federal property to protest the bombing of North Vietnamese property, Nixon's Vietnam policy was apparently popular with normal Americans. In 1972, he won re-election against "peace" candidate George McGovern in a 49-state landslide.

In January 1973, the United States signed the Paris Peace accords, which would have ended the war with honor. In order to achieve a ceasefire, Nixon jammed lousy terms down South Vietnam's throat, such as allowing Vietcong troops to remain in the South. But in return, we promised South Vietnam that we would resume bombing missions and provide military aid if the North attacked.

It would have worked, but the Democrats were desperate for America to lose. They invented "Watergate," the corpus delicti of which wouldn't have merited three column-inches during the Clinton years, and hounded Nixon out of office. (How's Sandy Berger weathering that tough wrist-slap?)

Three months after Nixon was gone, we got the Watergate Congress and with it, the new Democratic Party. In lieu of the old Democratic Party, which lost wars out of incompetence and naivete, the new Democratic Party would lose wars on purpose.

Just one month after the Watergate Congress was elected, North Vietnam attacked the South.

Even milquetoast, pro-abortion, detente-loving Gerald R. Ford knew America had to defend South Vietnam or America's word would be worth nothing. As Ford said, "American unwillingness to provide adequate assistance to allies fighting for their lives could seriously affect our credibility throughout the world as an ally." He pleaded repeatedly with the Democratic Congress simply to authorize aid to South Vietnam — no troops, just money.

But the Democrats turned their backs on South Vietnam, betrayed an ally and trashed America's word. Within a month of Ford's last appeal to Congress to help South Vietnam, Saigon fell.

The entire world watched as American personnel desperately scrambled into helicopters from embassy rooftops in Saigon while beating back our own allies, to whom we could offer no means of escape. It was the most demeaning image of America ever witnessed, until Britney Spears came along.

Southeast Asia was promptly consumed in a maelstrom of violence that seems to occur whenever these "Jeffersonian Democrats" come to power. Communist totalitarians swept through Laos, Cambodia and all of Vietnam. They staged gruesome massacres so vast that none other than Sen. George McGovern called for military intervention to stop a "clear case of genocide" in Cambodia.

Five years after that, Islamic lunatics in Iran felt no compunction about storming the embassy of what was once the greatest superpower on Earth and taking American citizens hostage for 14 months. To this day, al-Qaida boosts the flagging morale of its jihadists by reminding them of America's humiliating retreat from Vietnam.

In addition to being wrong about Ford's pardon of Nixon, liberals were wrong about a few other things from that era. Democrats haven't admitted error in rejecting Ford's pleas on behalf of South Vietnam because there are still dangerous foreigners trying to kill Americans. Nixon is safely interred in the ground, but the enemies of America continue to need the Democrats' help.

Hole-lee cow.

That's an Ann Coulter intro if I ever saw one.

Saddam went out like a typical Democrat bitching and complaining all the way. They should be called bitchocrats.

One look at South Korea could tell us all what South Vietnam could have been now. The quisling Kerry saw to it that South Vietnam was Communist and chained. Koreans should thank God and whatever else that John Kerry and some of these other nitwits were not around to cheer on North Korea. The liberals will allow the illegals to sink our country. I consider liberal Democrats a cancer within our nation.

They invented "Watergate,"...

Now, there's a stretch, even from Miz Kolter.

Go, Ann!

Liberals hate Ann Coulter, because they know she's telling the truth to their lies.

What, no pictures YET?

I was 15 at the time. I kept watching the news for word that Ford had sent in troops and planes. I couldn't believe he would just let it fall. Damn the Congress, he was commander in chief. There were ways he could have done it--not without hysterics from the press, but he could have done something. I was very disappointed. Then, Reagan came along, and gave us hope.

"THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY: A VAST SLEEPER CELL"

Ann Coulter!! One of my favorite columnists.

I can't help but wonder if Ann has a viable security detail. After writing things like this, she may very well need one.

I had just finished reading this opinion piece before I linked into FR. Apparently, you are as fond of Ann as I am. I love that little laugh that she gives right after she has emasculated a liberal.

I recall seeing her on a show one night (think that it was Hannity and Colmes). Bob Beckel was attempting to go up against her and she squashed him like a dung beetle. I thought poor Bob was going to cry.

Picturinos, her we go!

Anne's sense of history is actually so accurate , I wish we had a university where the real history of the Vietnam era could be taught according to Professor Coulter. No wonder the dems are driving themselves crazy trying to a) put her in jail b) defame her with falsehoods c) Make her into a closeted gay.

She outsmarts them at every turn. She is the Dem's worst nightmare and I love her for it!
