Ladies and Gentlemen, Our friends at the DNC never cease to amaze me. Today, I was listening to the radio and they were playing clips from the weekly Democrat radio address. This week our friend Howard Dean was the one speaking. I must preface my next couple comments with these remarks. The weekly Democrat radio address is a prepared, edited, pre-recorded speech that is played on the radio. There are no "off the cuff" remarks in this speech, anything and everything they say has been carefully calculated and decided upon. Our friend Howard Dean has decided to use a war memorial as a political weapon. He has once again compared Iraq to Vietnam, and now he is using the Vietnam Memorial as a weapon for political gain. Here are his exact words,
"The parallels between the mistakes being made today in Iraq and the behavior of our government a generation ago are striking. Troops are sent to fight by an administration that refuses to listen to the advice of military leaders. The Administration decides it's ok to conceal information from the Congress and the American people. Promises like "stay the course" "Peace is at Hand" or "the insurgency is in its last throes" are made by an increasingly desperate Administration. A majority of the American people don't believe the President is telling the truth, while the Administration and its supporters question the patriotism of veterans who disagree with them, accusing them of "cut and run". And among the victims are brave American soldiers who are the targets of an insurgency because of failed political leadership and a lack of foresight and planning. We don't want another wall with 55,000 names of courageous Americans who were let down by their Government."

I find it appalling that even our country's most sacred monuments to honor those who gave their lives in defense of this great nation are now simple fodder to be shot in smear campaigns. I don't care if you think Iraq is another Vietnam or not, dishonoring our veterans and those who died for our freedom is absolutely deplorable. If the Democrats have truly sunk to this level of "We don't care who we smear or whose lives we dishonor, just so we can regain power," (which they have IMO) then I urge all Americans with a conscience to go out and vote this November. Vote for candidates that still have some sense of dignity and pride in our country. Vote for someone who stands for your ideals and will give you the voice that made our country great. (If you share Dean's ideals, I really feel sorry for you.)

The Democratic Party disgusts me, especially Howard Dean - [insert his retarted scream here]
By definition you cannot be patriotic if you don't support the country. "But I love America," they say. My response: "But you don't love what America is DOING, so how can you honestly say you're patriotic?"
If one day, America goes to war and I completely disapprove, I will express my disapproval and accept that I am not patriotic. But the Dems and other libs don't think that consistently. They'd rather "support our troops" but not what they're doing. Soooo inconsistent.
The dems have no plan, we all know it. I pray they lose this election year.
And don't get me wrong, I hope the Repubs get their act together and reform to embrace fiscal conservatism as well as revamping moral values.
Good thoughts Jayj.
I wonder what the Emergent thought on your blog entry would be?

"You're so narrow-minded and arrogant JJ. I mean, how are we supposed to incorporate the culture of the world if all you do is tow the party line! Our "conversation" is greatly hindered because of old-fashioned stuck-in-the-fifties Christian-types. hmmpf"

Without being too politically incorrect, I will say that I agree with you on your political views. Now go out there and Vote for Len Munsil and other persons of the Republican party.
