A Democratic congressman offered a curious analogy on Monday to explain why the U.S. is dealing with the Taliban -- apparently comparing them to soldiers in the American Revolution.
According to sources, Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., made the comparison during a House briefing late Monday with administration officials on the trade of Taliban members for American Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl.
Nadler apparently made the point that the Taliban, as non-state actors, have a status similar to that of American soldiers who fought the British during the Revolutionary War.
This comparison, Fox News is told, was met with a lot of groaning by other lawmakers.

You have to understand how the dem mind works...
I had the distinct honor and pleasure of shouting down this turd as he attempted to spin the media in front of the Broward County courthouse as the illegal 2000 recount was going on inside. Man, that event had every repulsive RAT in the country show up for the coveted media op.
We went up to loyal Englishmen and said sign this or you’re in big trouble.
