This is not about doing the right thing, or winning.

This is about a power grab. It's about a democrat congress imposing its will on the foreign policy which has always been the purview of the president. This is about the congress going abroad and trying to conduct foreign policy by undermining the president.

This is about the democrat congress undermining the Commander in Chief provision of the Constitution when the president is a republican - they don't do it when the president is a democrat - like Clinton in Kosovo or bombing in Yogoslavia.

Democrats never undermine a democrat president - republicans do undermine a republican president.

But the overriding intent is to cripple America's ability to wage war in defense of itself, its allies and interests.

They cripple the American spirit - and that's how we lose - not by losing on the battlefield. Doing it this way is even deadlier.

If you lose a battle you can hope to come back another day. But if the spirit is crippled - there is no coming back.

This is a direct descendant of what happened in Vietnam - the American spirit was crippled. For a couple of decades after that American soldiers were afraid to wear their uniforms. We owe this to the decadent American left and its running dogs the media, academia and Hollywood. What a team.

What happened to Jane Fonda's apology?

Obviously she didn't mean it.

Why is that? I've asked leftists that question and they deny thinking like that but they offered no other explanation.
