Looks like the
Dems are showing their true colors by defeating the Republican bill that would
fund our troops without any withdrawal timetables. The Dems continue to tie funding to
conditions of specific dates and
earmarks. They are refusing to provide
our service men and women with what they need to win the war in Iraq,
Afghanistan, and the overall War on Terror.
The Dems have a
plan to play both sides of the fence.
There is a method to the madness of which Nancy Pelosi stated, that there will
unlikely be any further development on a funding bill for the military until
after the start of the new year. Here is
the hand I believe the Dems are playing. They are now playing directly into the hearts of their far left fanatics like MoveOn.Org by denying
funding to the troops. They want
to give the appearance of taking a hard line against the war. Now Move On will reward the Democratic Party
with all the funds they need for their White House bid next year. I give it until February or early spring before
the Dems suddenly become nationalists in favor of the service men and women and
provide funding that they need. By this time they will be able to afford
concessions to President Bush and his adamant attitude about vetoing any
funding bills with withdrawal timetables attached.
The beautiful thing
here is, that the Dems are setting the stage for their own self-destruction.
This could not be more delicious. They
are showing the American people that Dems
could care less about whether our service people have what they need
before they recess to enjoy their holidays. It is a slap in the face to those
that will spend their holidays in harms way protecting our freedom to dwell in
safety with our families here at home. I am outraged with the declaration of war
that the Dems and their liberal nuts have waged on our military. There is no pussyfooting around this truth.
No funding means no support. No more of the bull of supporting the troops but
not the war.
The Dems can’t hide
behind their ridiculous polls any longer because the truth of the matter is,
that the majority of Americans want to win the war in Iraq. The same people
were understandably angry about the way the war was being handled by
Washington. This is what brought the Dems into the majority on Capitol Hill.
Ironically, the war is going well, deaths are down, and the Iraqi people are
“stepping up to the plate,” to defend their homeland alongside the American
Troops. One would be hard pressed to
find much mention of this in the major newspapers or television networks, the
majority of which lean to the left, blatantly.
The Dems have lost
their platform. The only political legs they have to stand on now is the
environment and the global warming craze. Then there is the illegal immigration
issue. They have no credibility on this issue among Americans. I dare say, that come November 2008,
Americans are going to want leadership that will be tough on national security,
keeping taxes low, and securing our borders.
In the latest Democratic debate, some of the candidates had the audacity
to state that civil rights of people overseas bears more importance than our
own national sovereignty and security.
The Republicans
have their focus for the remainder of the presidential campaign. We owe it to the
Dems. The Republicans now have to make
the Dems feet accountable for their policies. The American people need to be
reminded, unyieldingly, that the Dems are a party that is anti-military, will
not do what it takes to secure the borders and legislate tough consequences for
those that come here illegally. If
Republicans do this, they can let the Dems have all the time left they need to
hang themselves.
The Dems are
obviously delusional if they they think the people are consumed by the so
called threat of global warming. For this is all they have left in their
arsenal. The people have demonstrated that they don’t take kindly to the far
left rhetoric against the military. The low turn out rates for these recently
released Hollywood movies depicting our
military in a horrific light is evidence.
Tom Cruise, Meryl Strep and the producers of such Anti-American crap
should be put on trial for treason. They will be responsible for the propaganda
used overseas to recruit more terrorists and put our troops and our citizenry
in more danger. These baffoons are
laughing stocks overseas to condemn their own country yet they continue to
reside in America.
In this great
nation, these left wing loons have the right to speak their minds, however
ridiculous. But I think that the rest of us should hold them and the lawmakers
accountable for riding the waves of freedom while degrading the source of these
freedoms, the brave men and woman who endure horrors and suffering we can’t
imagine. Every time a service person loses
his life, or a limb, or suffers third degree burns, it is a sacrifice made in
the name freedom. They desreve better from the American people and those that
govern. We should have people arrested as we did during World War II and the
Vietnam War that would take part in degrading our military during war time.
