"There's a lot of Abe Lincoln in Bush."

There's a lot of Copperhead in the Democrats.

[lexington minuteman 1775]

I agree with the Copperhead statement, but US schools don't really teach US History, most have no idea that the Copperheads were Democrats who actively mounted an attempt to defeat Lincoln and the cause of the war by any means necessary. Way too much Copperhead in todays Democratic party.

In 1948 the Democrats split 90% for Harry Truman, who was creating the strategy to fight the Cold War, vs. 5% for Strom Thurmond's Dixiecrats and 5% for Henry Wallace's Progressive Party, which blamed the Cold War on the US and thought it was possible to get along fine with Stalin.

The situation is now reversed--90% of the Democratic Party thinks the War on Terror is a fraud and if we would just be nice to the Muslims and change our foreign policy, we wouldn't have anything to fear from Islamic extremism. In fact, the real things they worry about are Bush opening their mail, Americans expressing anti-Muslim sentiments, or Christian conservatives threatening the right to an abortion or racial preferences.

The Democrats who take the war on terrorism seriously, like Lieberman or Morton Kondracke, are a small minority.
