I have worked in politics for many years. I have always defended politicians when the usual moron makes a sweeping statement like "they're all crooks" which they are not. Most serve honorably, some with great distinction and some dishonorably, both Republican and Democrat.
I believe some of the darkest days, politically speaking, occur during wars. Groups and politicians undermined Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis simultaneously. There were fifth columnists during World War II and Korea. I believe many politicians should have been punished severely during Vietnam as they snatched defeat from the jaws of victory condemning millions of Asians to murder and death.
Most of these occurrences happened on one side of the aisle. I am deeply ashamed that this is now occurring in my side of the aisle and by (little c) conservative (little r) republicans. I wrote about this here. It is getting worse.
This is just the beginning of the War on Terror. Instead of pandering to the press, worrying about their miserable re-election or worse yet, not understanding the gravity of the situation, these miserable little hacks should instead be speaking to the seriousness of the threat to our country, the United States of America and, to freedom itself. They should be supporting the goals of our troops in the field, not just drooling pablum about supporting the troops. Leave that worthless crap to the poster party for drool across the aisle.
Time to grow up kids. Islamofascists mean to kill us and you're helping them. You bring up Vietnam, sit cow-eyed as you listen to every fool that has an axe to grind, including retired generals and Congressmen, and you look for every convenient exit as you proclaim your deep concern so seriously. You all disgust me to my very core.
I say throw them out of office. Not just for being against freedom, but for being imbeciles. Yes, I will apologize to imbeciles for the slight at a later date.
