If it were any other subject, I may apologize for the angry tone, but the latest events regarding Democrat opposition to the War on Terror warrant no apology from myself, but from them regarding their defeatist attitude that has the potential to undermine our troops in the field. This will be one of my most angry post (may very well be the only one), but I do not apologize for it.
On Thursday, Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada effectively said "the war is lost". Then today, the Vermont Senate approved 16-9 a resolution calling for the impeachment of both President Bush and VP Cheney. This just proves that the Democratic Party has been taken over by the defeatist fanatics of the far-left.
I submit to you that these two actions border on treason. Actually, an argument can be made under the Constitution that they are treason. I submit to you Article III, Section 3 of the Constitution, which states:
Section 3. Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.
The Congress shall have power to declare the punishment of treason, but no attainder of treason shall work corruption of blood, or forfeiture except during the life of the person attainted.
As you can see, the actions above, Sen. Reid's comment and the action of the Vermont Senate can be considered as "giving them (our enemies) aid and comfort", and, since both actions are public in nature, all that is needed is the testimony of two witnesses. I say its high time that we deal with acts of treason in our country that undermine our war effort.
Our troops have a hard enough time battling the elements in the Middle East as well as terrorists without having to hear demoralizing comments from the likes of far-left Democrats and their allies. Conservatives, WAKE UP and hold these people accountable for their actions. Remember what happened to Trent Lott after the Strom Thurmond comment? Don't let the left get away with saying much worse things than that.
To Sen. Reid, you owe every American and especially every member of our armed forces an apology for your comment. You are undermining our troops in harms way with your irresponsible political rhetoric. You offer no solution to winning our war on terror, but only offer defeat. The only way Iraq will be like Vietnam is if you cut and run like the Democrats before you did to South Vietnam. We are winning the war militarily, but you and your fellow Democrats stand to take us down the road to political defeat. Let our troops do their job and give them the funding they need to do it, and unless you have a better solution other than surrender, then SHUT THE HELL UP.
To the Senators of Vermont, define for me what high crimes or misdemeanors that Bush or Cheney have committed. Oh wait, YOU CAN'T because their are none. You are only bowing before the altar of left-wing extremism and are attempting to score political points with America-haters. You all just need to stay up there in Montpelier and be quiet and let the grown-ups fight the war on terror.
America, now more than ever is the time to get behind our men and women in uniform and support their fight. Send letters and gifts to them and let them know that while some politicians don't care about them that you do. Write to Sen. Reid and express your outrage with his comment and write to the Senators of Vermont and express your outrage with their resolution. Let's stand united against the forces that seek to destroy our country both outside our borders and within.
Author's Note: Before I get barraged by emails telling me to put my money where my mouth is and serve in the military, I am physically disqualified from service from poor eyesight. I would give anything to be in uniform serving my country, but can't.
