These quagmire and Viet Nam stabs are ludicrous! If Americans in the past had been so impatient we wouldn't even have a country or a free Germany or Japan.

Sickening.

Harkin, earlier in his career, claimed to have been a Vietnam fighter pilot, which was exposed as a lie.

Kerry made a grand show in the early 70s of trashing his Vietnam earned medals...later proved to have been someone else's.

Yeah. These are sterling character models, alright.

Taranto has raised this point before, that the dems are becoming an extinct party. It's amazing, considering they've spent 6 trillion buying votes thru wasted social programs. But the truth is catching up with them. Probably won't happen in my lifetime, but I wonder what kind of party wil finally take their place?
One hopes that it will at least be one which defends and honors America...hugs all the trees they want, but draws the line at asking why the enemy is mad at us.
Any significant change would seem to depend on Generation Y being less gullible than their teachers.
