"BAGHDAD JIM" MCDERMOTT SPONSORS RESOLUTION TO RESCIND AUTHORIZATION FOR WAR

Our very own Congressman, "Baghdad Jim" McDermott had a rough evening. A substantial group of Patriotic Americans (Spurred on by KVI's John Carlson) crashed his scheduled appearance outside the Federal Building in Downtown Seattle last night. A surprisingly small crowd of about 250 Anti-America demonstrators were suddenly inundated by about 150 Pro-America demonstrators just minutes before McDermott took the podium.

McDermott seemed to be taken aback by the boisterous crowd holding We Support Our Troops signs and chanting USA!...USA! McDermott stated that the Anti-America movement was actually pro-troops because they don't want our soldiers to get hurt, while the insensitive pro-America crowd callously advocates sending our troops into harm's way. Using that logic, perhaps we should keep our police officers at the police station, after all one could get hurt stopping a robbery. Responding to the boos and taunts of the crowd, McDermott finally blurted out "If you hypocrites really support this war you should go straight down to the recruiting office and sign up for duty!"

So we have a congressman who believes that only those in the military have the right to advocate on foreign policy matters, if only it were so. Nonetheless, Mcdermott's insinuation that only those who serve in the military have the right to comment on matters of war effectively disenfranchises the other 99% of us who are not in the armed services.

As a stunned McDermott left the rally, one of his constituents greeted him "Thanks for coming, Traitor!" What a great moment in American History.

Last week McDermott again brought honor to our state by voting no on a congressional resolution supporting our troops, the resolution passed by an overwhelming 392-11. McDermott is at it again today, co-authoring a resolution to rescind authorization for the war in which we are currently engaged. Shouldn't McDermott's photo be placed in the dictionary right next to the word despicable?

I wanted to stop by leaving work yesterday, but since I have a concealed carry permit on my person, I was afraid I might be a suspect. So, I went on home. Hehehehehe.
