The Democratic Party: Are They Still Americans?

Former President Clinton has broken with tradition and openly criticized his successor, President George W. Bush on multiply fronts. See Power Line. This is a sad day for America, but it has been growing since President Bush’s first victory against Al Gore. The Democratic Party would rather see the United States humiliated and ridiculed under a Republican president than succeed at home and in the world in general.

The hypocrisy of their position on Iraq has always galled me (if a Democrat had done it, they and the media would be praising every success). The people of Iraq lived for more than 30 years under a murderous, terrorist supporting dictator; and to claim that we shouldn’t have ousted and ultimately captured Saddam simply because we never found 50 tons of nerve gas or some other WMDs is petty beyond belief.

Democrats presume to compare Iraq to Vietnam. This is absurd! The war in Vietnam was a purported effort to stem the rise of Communism. The North Vietnamese were fully supported, supplied, and financed by the U.S.S.R and the Chinese Communists. It began, and was escalated by the way, under two Democratic administrations (Kennedy and Johnson). The continuation of the war in Iraq (and most of the ongoing destruction) is being supported by dictatorial states (Syria, Iran, etc) and nationless terrorists (Al-Queda).

Democrats (and the mainstream media) fault the President for what hurricane Katrina did to New Orleans as if he commanded the hurricane’s very creation and path. The fact that local authorities at both the local and state level ignored his pleas for action is of little consequence in their minds. They would blame the recent tsunami on him too, if they could figure out how.

How anyone can hold their head up and claim to be proud to be a Democrat in light of all this is beyond me.
