“Once it becomes accepted that it is all right to violate both the laws and the traditions of this nation, and to undermine the ability of the United States to speak to other nations of the world with one voice, we will have taken another fateful step downward into the degeneration of this society.” Um, Professor Sowell, the democrat party went that extra mile to treachery years ago, as soon as their effort to steal the 2000 election failed ... degeneration is what the hate-filled democrats are all about and nothing else! We are now witnessing the further destruction by democrats of the nation they lust to control absolutely, all because democrats have forgotten what we were in their rush to continually absolve themselves of guilt over their continuing lies and bloody service to evils such as partial birth infanticide. Treachery has long since been over washed as now service to evil.

Pelosi going to Syria is a direct violation of the Logan Act. Has Dr. Sowell written about that? If not, he certainly should.

That fact is absolutely true and should be publicized so that the American people realize what worthless human debris we have in the US Congress. The voters of California should hang their heads in shame at electing such garbage to represent the state. Pelosi, Boxer, and Feinstein are all costing American lives. Their shame will follow them forever.

That’s correcet, Smooth.

I’m hoping this will be a week that he writes columns II, III and possibly IV like he does some weeks.

There’s a lot of material to cover on the subject so he just may.

“Dr. Sowell couldn’t be more correct. The left is not accountable for much of anything because the media is on their side.”

The media and the left are one in the same!!! And I agree! Thomas Sowell is very correct! A brilliant man he is!

I'm glad I'm on your ping list, Jaz. Dr. Sowell is a fellow who could explain Logan well, and I look forward to him doing so.

“What the Liberal Left should be held accountable for is endangering the lives of our troops in Iraq and Afganistan. They’re surrender politics are emboldening our enemies and causing American lives.”

They are traitors is what they are! Evil, despicable traitors! And they need to be called on that!!!

Such a drastic and irresponsible step should remove any lingering doubt that the Democrats' political strategy is to ensure that there is an American defeat in Iraq, in order to ensure their own political victory in 2008.

Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.

Jail Pelosi, Kerry, Nelson et al for three years.

Then fine them in corpus for the amount of the appropriations bill.

Can't pay?

Jail. Rinse. Repeat.

It would be fantastic if that would be enforced. It was discussed a little in post 22 & 24.

Shame? They are hailed as heroic in leftafornia. But that will change immediately if the terrorists decide to try and clean up the cesspool that is Hollywood.

There is no doubt whatsoever and there hasn't been for a long time. The Democrats are reckless, irresponsible and dishonest.

Kerry's Logan Act(...and now Pelosi's)

This is a few years old, but still a good read on what's afoot.

"We have an alternative Democratic foreign policy."

Just like they did when Nixon was trying to end the Vietnam War, and folks like Teddy the Swimmer and John Effin Kerry were holding their own negotiations with the North Vietnamese in Paris. Also, like the same two did working with the Sandanistas, against the Reagan administration, in the 80's.

In fact, the Democrats seem more interested in Foreign Policy when they are NOT in office. They certainly never seem to do anything useful about it when they are.

Pelosi needs to remember that she was elected with 147,435 votes and President Bush received over 53,000,000 votes.  There's not only an extra comma in Bush's numbers, there's like 52,853,000 more votes!

Good article, thanks for the link.

I remember that fiasco of Kerry’s. I wasn’t signed up here so I must have gotten it from FNC because that’s the only news I watched. Can’t remember if it was Hume, Gibson, O’Reilly or Hannity but it was probably all of them.

Kerry was really raked over the coals on FNC about that trip.

You make many good points. I remember some of the pandering by the Dems over the years to pathetic leaders that you mentioned. It was sickening but probably no worse that what a few Dems have done in this war.

Well the Israelis showed them what they thought of their alternate foreign policy. They allowed them to visit popular sites as normal tourists. John Kerry was saying that their stature was down. No kidding. who has any use for dhimis in a WOT?

Yes, he was. And then next, the Swiftee's came along and nailed his coffin shut!

I wonder if Kerry still has a butler, or has to make his own peanut butter and jelly sandwiches these days. What a dork. LOL!
