Thanks for the ping, Pokey. Another great piece by Steyn. He just nails it. Words like shameful, unseemly, and decency, don't even exist anymore for these "new democrats". How depressing.

It might have been nice if, in among all the partisan rallying, the speakers had managed to spare a thought for those caught up by a quirk of fate in this circus. But Senator Harkin didn't bother mentioning them.

Thanks for the ping, pokey.

It might have been nice.....but we know the RATS lack the underlying character traits necessary "to be nice." These traits include, but are not limited to, conscience, conviction, integrity, compassion, empathy, humaneness, ethics, honesty, honor, along with a sense of accountability of one's thoughts, words, and deeds.

I believe, more importantly, belief in a Higher Power (for me, Jesus Christ), not self, steers mankind away from our baseness and selfishness and our selfish thoughts and desires because those with strong beliefs in a Higher Power know they will be held accountable, whether that be in this life or the one that follows us after death.
