Al-Qaeda West had a pajama party Tuesday dubbed by the Democrats as an historic all-night session. Personally, I don’t see the big deal. My average day begins at 7 AM and my bedtime is 2 AM or later. Once or twice a week, I slip between the sheets sometime after 5 AM and I don’t catch a four hour nap between yawns like Barbara Boxer and some of her limp-lidded colleagues.
This freakish sideshow was nothing more than a fundraiser designed to placate the radical Left which has been ratcheting up the anti-war pressure and cutting back on their support of Senate Dems for not coming through on their anti-war promises. The Senate surrender snooze should have been paid for by The Democrat National Committee, not our tax dollars. Even more despicable than billing this farce as something special, is the degree to which this kind of antic emboldens our enemies and diverts time and effort from real national security issues. Attempting to cash in on some overnight equity, Ms. Boxer even tried to characterize the need for a 60 vote, super majority as a nasty Republican ploy to block Democrat success in ending the war. As you know, the need for 60 votes to pass this sort of measure [versus a simple majority] is a Senate rule that has existed for over forty years. Step right up and see the parade of morally deformed and politically depraved as it marches through our Nation’s Capitol.
The scary thing to me is that so many continue to confuse the battle in Iraq with the actual war. They either don’t understand or won’t admit the gravity of the terrorist threat. They continue to play trivial games and project a casual “bumper sticker” mentality. Such irresponsible attitudes could, eventually, cost millions of American lives and will assure the need for us to reassert ourselves in The Middle East later, with greater power and at a higher cost than we are paying at present. Call it World War III, the Global War on Terror or anything you like. Islamo-Nazis are on the move and leaving Iraq isn’t going to change their direction or their goal of world domination.
The Democrats, and a few rogue Republicans, are terribly misreading what the people of this nation want. Their paltry 14% approval rating bears that out. It’s the lowest Senate rating in the history of polling. Even President Bush looks good polling twenty points higher and these clowns actually dare to point accusatory fingers at him! They authorized our Commander-in-Chief to wage war and they can’t constitutionally take it back. The only tool at the Dems disposal is to defund the battle and they don’t have the courage of their convictions to do that. So they continue to produce one pathetic sideshow after another and plunge the dagger of self-interest ever deeper into the heart of our country.
The most disgraceful part of their hypocrisy is their use of lies and deceit to do what the enemy, so far, has been unable to do: undermine and break the spirit of those true heroes they voted to send in harm’s way. Ladies and gentlemen, let me direct your attention to the midway as I give you the latest attraction in the Capitol Carnival: The American Liberal Democrat…the pride of Al-Qaeda!
