Once was the time that America had two political parties that desired to see America thrive and succeed. They disagreed on just how to go about it, but ultimately, they both would come together in times of crisis, or war, to ensure American Forces won the battles and the keep the fires of liberty burning throughout the globe.

Ever since the Viet Nam Conflict, it seems that one party, the Democrats, seems to have decided that America is too wealthy and too powerful, so must be cut down a notch or two. They not only push to abandon our sovereignty to the United Nations, under the leadership of delegates from third world countries who agree America is too powerful, but like our wealth to pay for their uses, but now Democrats can’t even get behind our Troops as they fight to bring freedom to the Iraqi and Afghani people in the ongoing War on Terror.

Their willing accomplices in the media have only recently begun to mention several of the successes our Troops have attained, mainly in the back pages of their papers. In what seems like reluctant reporting, they have mentioned thousands of families returning to Baghdad, deaths of the citizens and our Troops at an all time low, since the beginning of this war, Iraqi Sheiks turning on their Al Qaeda operatives and aligning themselves with American Forces and even a new fatwa issued by Iraqi clerics against violence.

There is even a rumor floating that Osama Bin Laden is under cave arrest by Zawahiri, wherever they may be holed up.

In terms of war, it can be said that while it isn’t over by a long shot, it is looking up and the goals set out are being achieved. Democrats set many of those goals so one would think they were elated at the news from Iraq. Nothing could be further from the truth.

After declaring the war lost, Senator Harry Reid (D. Nv) continues to play politics with our Troops lives by demanding yet another withdrawal time table telling our and the Iraqi peoples enemies on just what day we stop opposing them. Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi (D. Ca) is said to have made a similar demand recently as well.

California Reps. Lynn Woolsey, Barbara Lee and Maxine Waters, representing a liberal anti-war caucus, last week expressed opposition to the measure as they feel it is too soft and does not demand an end to combat.

All claim that if President Bush vetoes this bill, he doesn’t care about the Troops, when the exact opposite is true. It is they who don’t care about the Troops or invalidating the voluntary sacrifice of well over 3600 American lives to help both nations build their own free societies.

Abandoning the fight also leaves us open to another terrorist attack, as we would no longer have them engaged there, leaving them free to enter our country and do it again. Masking their displeasure with how well it has been going these last few weeks, as Bush’s “Troop Reinforcement” plan seems to be working under the leadership of General Petraeus, Democrats also complain about the cost of fighting it.

Tax increases are proposed, but not for fighting the war. Presidential candidates, Hillary Clinton (D. NY), Barack Obama (D. Ill), and John Edwards (D. NC) all are proposing massive entitlement programs to be funded by “taxing the wealthy.” Edwards seems to actually propose cutting defense funding, including upgrades and modernization to our Armed Forces, while we are at war! From his own words in the above video message, it seems he would have the Pentagon beg for every dollar needed to defend America.

Failed presidential candidate, John ‘F’in Kerry (D. Ma), feeling somewhat left out, is in Dubai today once again proposing “dialogue” with surrounding nations to “solve” the situation in Iraq. Says Kerry, “While the Iraqi government squabbles along sectarian lines and refuses to address the issues, American troops are caught in the crossfire of a deadly civil war that we are powerless to stop.”

Perhaps he should sign on with a different news source as many improvements have been made.

It would appear that the Democrats only goal now to cause defeat at any cost. Why a victory for America is so abhorrent to them escapes me. I recall when the Democrat party wanted America to win our wars.

In a total departure from what I was taught in American History, I received an email from Senator Patty Murray (D. Wa), one of my Senators, explaining her reason for voting against the nomination of Judge Michael Mukasey to head the Department of Justice as Attorney General. Her reason, “America needs an Attorney General whose independence is without question.”

Independence, Senator Murray? Does she not realize that Attorney General is a member of the President’s Cabinet, regardless of who occupies the office? Or, is she proposing another branch of the government to give Democrats more control when Republicans are in the White House? At any rate, any 8th grader should realize that Attorney General is a cabinet position. What President desires cabinet members who won’t cooperate with their program?

Senator Clinton can’t seem to make up her mind on illegals obtaining drivers licenses.

Senator Obama’s wife now seems prepared to drag the race card into the campaign.

Multi-millionaire Edwards seems to resent that others have wealth.

Former Vice President Al Gore continues to cry wolf on Global Warming, shutting down any discussion as if it were a done deal, according to him.

Louisiana Democrats, Cynthia McKinney was voted out while William Jefferson, who was caught with $90,000 in bribe money in his freezer, remains in office.

Former President, BJ Clinton, seems to be able to keep his pants zipped up, at least for the time being.

After her husband reaped millions from defense contracts, Senator Feinstein (D. Ca) resigned from the Senate Military Construction Appropriations Subcommittee.

On and on it goes, one disaster after another, undermining of our Troops at war, playing politics instead of tending to the nations business or just bad mouthing President Bush, this is our current Democrat party.

Little wonder I say 99% of All Democrats Give The Rest A Bad Name.
