Make Our Day
By Jed Babbin
The American Spectator
Since the 2004 election, the Dems have had nothing constructive to say on any topic. On taxes, they want to raise them. On Social Security, they want no change. On federal spending, they're as bad as -- dare we say it? -- Republicans. On Iraq, they want to cut and run. Worse still, they want to take away the legal and innovative tools the president and the Big Dog have devised to win the war. Guantanamo Bay? Close it. NSA warrantless eavesdropping on al-Qaeda? Stop it. Secret jails in Europe and Asia to hold terrorist suspects? Close them. Tough interrogation of terrorists that stops short of torture? Don't need to do it. Renew the PATRIOT Act? Only if it's watered down to the point that intelligence can't be gathered or shared. The Dems want to make it impossible to "connect the dots."
The list -- contrived mostly by the NYT's and WaPo's experts -- grows longer every week. It is only a matter of time before the Dems decide that the Hamas-led Palestinian government is a legitimate peace partner for Israel to engage. (If you doubt that, read the UK Guardian, which has already published op-eds to that effect.) And the longer that list, the fewer votes the Dems will get in November.
