CBS News: Libyan Security team move Ambassador, then told mob

Present tense to past tense in a title? That's pathetic. I remember when journalists cared about grammar.

I also remember when democrats were patriotic and loved America. In those days, JFK, LBJ, and so many other leaders of their party would not have tolerated such an attack or any politician who ignored an attack on our country. Today, the dems see it as a chance to apologize again. I'm not fond of the spending policies of the dems, even decades ago, but as with the writing skills of journalists, what has happened to the patriotism of that party is pathetic.
