The Democrats blame America first. ALWAYS!

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus

The left in America wants us to delay the installation of missiles until the left in Europe can organize a half-million people in the streets. Then they can complain that the world is against us so we must not act

Compare the Russian approach: Invade Georgia and let the West complain about the broken china after a fait accompli.

[Ancesthntr]

They never freaking learn, the ball-less imbeciles.

What’s Russia going to do, go through Belarus and Ukraine to invade Poland?

Weakness like this starts wars - NOT standing up to a bully who’s army has incredibly poor moral. Morons!

They must be the 'Marxist Democrats' that are hoping to help Putin take back all the countries that left the Soviet Union after President Ronald Reagan caused the cold war to end.

I'm sure that none of the true Conservative Democrats would ever make such a statement. /sarc

“Democrats in Congress want to put on the brakes, saying it has not been adequately tested.”

Presumably they are comparing this to the successful testing of Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, Food Stamps, Housing Assistance, Needle Exchange Programs, Sanctuary City social budgets and Amtrak.

Right?

I remember the protests against our Pershing missiles in West Germany and the UK in 1983. Thankfully, Reagan was President.

...moral...

Uh, “morale”

[wk4bush2004]

Well, Lukashenko will probably let Russian forces march right through Belarus.

[Carling]

These is protection against incoming missiles, not offensive weapons.

Why would you be against this, or why would the general public?

[Candor7]

The usual suspects kiss Moscow's heinie.>>>>>>>>>>

Theyused to kiss Moscow's heinie.

These days they are licking Moscow's AH.

And that isn't peanut butter on their tongues either.

What a bunch of traitors.

[Candor7]

lots of twisted panties>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

May I point out that those are NOT panties?LOL.

Of course the Dems may have tried to use them as panties, gave up , and threw them away!

What a waste. Could have made 1000 double barreled sling shots with those!

[Seaplaner]

Congratulations Ellen Tauscher and Barack Obama.

You have been successfully terrorized.

[duckln]

I'm not. But why in Poland, is there a skunk in the wood pile? Looking at a map, it boils down to missiles sites in Poland, that could be targeted at Russia.

Could be we don't know the half of it.

Remember we had Generals like Clark in Kosovo and Patton ready to take on the Russians after WWII. And all the trouble MacArthur caused before he got sacked. I guess maybe the Russians don't want that temptation on its borders.

[neodad]

The reason Russia is pissed is that IT WORKS!

[antceecee]

Great analysis!

It might be a good idea to educate today's younger generation to a fact many of the older generation have known.

The Democrat party, and a good part of the media, were since 1947 bent on appeasing the former Soviet Union and it appears today's Russia. Even after it became apparent that the Soviet regime was responsible for the greatest mass murder spree in human history this policy continued unabated. The Democrats and their media bitches either ignored these murderous facts or tacitly accepted them as though the horrendous human cost of tens of millions of murdered victims and the suffering of untold million of others were part of the cost of doing the business of appeasing Moscow

Some of us choose never to forget that appeasing the Soviet Union is the primary legacy of today's Democrat party

[singfreedom]

Damn anything is better than nothing! God forgive me, I HATE Democrats! ANYTHING to oppose Republicans, no matter what might be reasonable or prudent!
