Hmmm. How would this play out in the modern Democrat party and media?

International bully the United States provoked an innocent Third World country by infiltrating irregular troops into Mexico in violation of international law. Peace activists were sent to Texas to witness for peace, but got no further than hotel rooms in New Orleans. Demonstrations in New York demanded "regime change" in the U.S. The New York Times reported on the front page that Mexican prisoners were being tortured by being fed American white bread and being denied tortillas. On page 38, the Times reported unverified allegations of a massacre at Goliad, but the reports were being discounted as administration propaganda. Besides, the Times opined, some overreaction by the Mexicans would be understandable in light of U.S. war crimes. < sarcasm/ >

Sheesh. I saw something interesting posted, but forget the source. It has been commonplace in the history of war for a nation to spread propaganda to demonize the enemy. But what does it say about a country that spreads propaganda to demonize itself???

Remember the Alamo! Remember La Bahia!

It's the DNC and the Press that try to demonize the Country that provides them with Freedom.

I heard a soundbite from John Effing Kerry this morning where he's protesting that he is not unpatriotic. Methinks the lady doth protest too much.

The Goliad Massacre worked the same way as the Massacre at Malmedy in WWII. It steeled the resolve to fight back.

Maybe if he spent less time bashing the US and supporting it's enemies people wouldn't get the impression he's unpatriotic.
