Democrats and Patriotism

by Nathan Tabor

Since the close call on Christmas Day, when a Northwest Airlines flight's
crew and passengers almost fell victim to a Jihadist from Nigeria, the
Democrat Party leadership including President Barack Obama, Speaker of the
House Nancy Pelosi, Senator John Kerry (still fuming over his loss to George
W. Bush) and Representative John Murtha are all onboard for the war on
terrorism.

At least for now, gone are the days of euphemisms created by the Democrats
to avoid something most American kids know: We are fighting a global war on
Islamofascists abroad and their dangerous Fifth Column within the
continental US.

So before you allow these politically motivated pseudo-patriots to fill your
head with their war plans, commentary about military matters and other
nonsense, remember who this people are and what they've said whenever they
dropped their guard.

Jimmy Carter

While no longer a politicians of any consequence, recall that when
then-President Carter ran for re-election, American voters couldn't wait to
send him packing from the White House. When Carter took office, one of the
first things he did was to throw or ally the Shah of Iran under a bus. When
radical Muslims captured our embassy in Tehran and held our fellow Americans
hostage,

Carter dithered and dodged and made a feeble attempt at a rescue that made
the Keystone Cops look efficient. Ronald Reagan whipped Carter in the 1980
Presidential race, and while Reagan will always be remembered as one of the
great US presidents, Mickey Mouse could have beat Carter after his one-term
performance.

Bill Clinton

It's been said that Bill Clinton talks a good fight. In Somalia, he ordered
US troops to cut-and-run.

When Islamic terrorists attacked the USS Cole, he made a tough speech, but
else. When Islamic terrorists bombed the World Trade Center in 1993, the
Clinton administration treated it as if it were a bank robbery. The bombing
of two US embassies garnered an FBI dog-and-pony show. In fact, according to
then-FBI director Louis Freeh, when Saudi Arabia's Kobar Towers was bombed
by terrorists and Freeh wished to send FBI agents to investigate the deaths
of the American victims, Clinton instead telephoned the Saudi authorities
and hit them up for a big donation for the Clinton Library. Most clear
thinking Americans believe that Clinton's inaction to a string of terror
attacks laid the foundation for the 9-11 attack. But he did give some great
speeches. Just ask the folks at the New York Times.

John Kerry

The perpetual Senator from Massachusetts ran against President George W.
Bush, and even some Democrats found it difficult not to giggle at his
flip-flops and flubs during his campaign. The man was exposed as a "legend
in his own mind" by the Swift Boat Veterans who revealed the truth about
Kerry's four months in Vietnam. They also exposed his fabrications and false
accusations during his anti-war career. More recently, Kerry accused US
soldiers of terrorizing Iraqi women and children in the dark of the night.
And then there was his statement to a group of students that they should
stay in school and get a good education or else they'd end up as soldiers in
Iraq.

John Murtha

Dubbed a "hawk" by the Democrat Party spinmeisters, Congressman Murtha was
the darling of the anti-war news media - at least for a time. Murtha's
statements were quoted repeatedly and then discarded when they were proved
wrong. For example, he said our military was broken. Then he said we could
not win in Iraq. Before any investigations or courts martial, he said a
group of US Marines were cold-blooded murderers. When the Marines were found
innocent of any wrongdoing, Murtha moved on without any apology. While the
reporters at the New York Times, Washington Post and CNN touted him as a
military expert, he advised military leaders to redeploy to Okinawa and
respond to violence with air missions.

Dick Durbin

Senator Dick Durbin is another perpetual lawmaker who every so often let's
his guard down and utters statements that reveal his true character. For
instance, on the floor of the US Senate, Durbin accused soldiers deployed as
guards at the terrorist detention center in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba of being
Nazis. He described the facility as a Soviet gulag. He went on to invoke the
name of a man who murdered millions of Cambodians - Pol Pot. Of course, he
was forced to apologize, but the apology was more of a slap in the face of
many American patriots.

President Barack Obama

It is difficult to chronicle President Obama's "unpatriotic" statements
since he utters them almost on a daily basis. For months during his
administration words such as "terrorism," "terrorist," "war," and others
were kicked to the wayside. His appointments also display a total disregard
for what made ours a great nation. Avowed Marxists, Maoists and socialists
populate his administration and push their agenda behind closed doors. He
said police in Cambridge acted stupidly before even knowing the facts of the
incident involving his professor friend. However, after a Muslim murdered 13
men and women on a US Army base in Fort Hood, Texas, Obama stated he did not
wish to comment until all the facts were at his disposal. While calling for
unity, Obama has used vitriolic language to describe anyone who disagrees
with him or his policies and ideas. Yet, while the members of the news media
and entertainment industry hated George W. Bush, they adore and practically
worship Barack Hussein Obama.

The Usual Suspects

Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Carl Levin, Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstein, Russ
Feingold, Pat Leahy, Chuck Schumer - the list goes on - continue to bash
former President Bush, bash our military and bash real American patriots.
During a speech to the nation, President Obama said the Cambridge police
acted stupidly without his even knowing the facts about the incident in
question.

When the Secretary for Homeland Security compiled a memorandum regarding
extremists in the United States, Secretary Janet Napolitano's finished
product described returning war veterans, pro-life activists, gun-control
opponents and those opposed to big government intrusion into the lives of
Americans.

Democrats as patriots? I think not.
