LIBERALS LIP SYNCHING THE SAME OLD STORIES

Though I've belted you and flayed you,
By the livin' Gawd that made you,
You’re a better man than I am, Gunga Din!

There has to be an explanation for why the Democrats are itching for the United States to retreat and ultimately be defeated in Iraq. They have been surrendering for awhile; Harry Reid officially announced that “we have lost the war” and was busy looking for a white flag to wave. The Democrats were dispelling any good news from General Patreas even before he had uttered one syllable to them concerning the war. When it comes to defending our homeland and what it stands for, the left would rather bad mouth their country and apologize for anything and everything, real or imagined; they are weenies.


The real reason the left is so anti-war even when the war is worth fighting and they are anti-America even though it is the only reason they have their freedom to be weenies, is habit. They are products of a generation that gained notoriety and success from being peaceniks and rebelling against the establishment. During their formative years, they were holding up peace signs, demonstrating against war, and railing against their government. They were the lead story on the three networks almost every night and they thought it was cool. They take credit for ending the Vietnam War and for taking down Nixon. So now, they think this same tactic, ending war and taking down a President is going to make them successful again. They never grew up or progressed and they can’t see beyond to the results of their actions.

I don’t think the left and the democrats even know what they are rebelling against, but they are trying to look rebellious because they think it will lead to their success and power. They want to look like the hippies they once were but in a more dignified manor. They want to be the lead story on the news saying; “look at me, I am different, I am rebellious against a corrupt President and I am for peace”. They can’t seem to grasp two facts: 1) the myth that Bush is corrupt isn’t real or catching on with mainstream Americans, and 2) we are fighting an enemy that will do whatever it takes to kill us all. But, when power is what one seeks and one remembers a path that once led to it, one will try that path again. For instance, John Kerry was “reporting for duty!” at the democrat convention in Boston in 2004, but for him, duty wasn’t fighting with the military to defend his country but instead it was fighting against the military because he thinks it corrupt and a tool of evil and it once got him attention.

Perhaps once this generation of narcissistic, self indulgent, self centered, generation of self serving Democrats finally leaves center stage, then the country will be able to look for real leaders from the left, some that actually have principles and stand for something. Maybe the next generation of democrats will run their campaigns on policies, ideas and solutions. As it stands now, they are merely an opposition party that complains and hinders any real progress and seeks power for the sake of having it. But, they can’t be held responsible; they were spoiled and never taught that there might be real consequences to their actions. Perhaps a good spanking at the ballot box in 2008 will wake them up, but I doubt it.
