Don get's it right!

The surrender party 

RNC chairman and future president, Ken Mehlman, gave a speech today to the City Club in Cleveland. The highlights:

“Joe Lieberman is no conservative. His lifetime rating from the Americans for Democratic Action is 78 percent. His lifetime rating from the American Conservative Union, on the other hand, is an anemic 17 percent. He voted against drilling in ANWR, against the Bush tax cuts, and against banning partial birth abortion. But like the proud history of so many Democrats before him, Joe Lieberman believed in a strong national defense. And for that, he was purged from his Party.”

There it is!

Lieberman is a loss in a single area.

Moving the rest 'below the fold', but it's too important to ignore.

We can disagree on tax cuts. Minimum wage. Whether toilets should flow more than 1.6 liters per flush. But one thing we cannot disagree on is the defense of these United States of America. Mehlman made that clear:

“Today’s Democrat Party is the Party of George Soros, a man who said “By declaring a ‘war on terror’ after September the 11th, we set the wrong agenda for the world,” not JFK, a man who said “we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe in order to assure the survival and success of liberty.”

“Today’s Democrat party is the Party of Ted Kennedy, who said “The U.S. military presence has become part of the problem, not part of the solution,” not FDR, a man who said “We have learned that we cannot live alone, at peace; that our well-being is dependent on the well-being of other nations, far away.”

“Today’s Democrat party is the Party of blame America first, led by a man who suggested that terrorist attacks on Israel were the fault of Republicans, saying “If you think what’s going on in the Middle East today would be going on if the Democrats were in control, it wouldn’t …” “

This is not about patriotism. Hey, dissent is patriotic and all that. I get it. I always have.

This is about the survival of the United States of America, still the last best hope of this besotted world. Surrendering to terrorists is nuts.

I might take gentle issue with the use of the word 'terrorist', but not the message.

I like both your attitude and the link Zero. My greatist fear is that most here in America have become members of the surrender party. Illusion does not equate to reality in the long run and shouldn't be considered as news in the real world. That's just the way it is for the masses and doesn't really effect those of us that see it for what it truly is.
