97 Reasons Democrats Are Weak On Defense And Can't Be Trusted To Govern In Wartime |
2006-09-30 |
HT to Powerline Today's Democrats are nothing like Presidents Roosevelt, Truman and Kennedy, who with courage and decisive action kept on top of their jobs and aggressively confronted one national defense crisis after another. Jimmy Carter, elected during the Cold War with the Soviet Union, and (1) believing Americans had an inordinate fear of communism, (2) lifted U.S. citizens' travel bans to Cuba, North Korea, Vietnam and Cambodia and (3) pardoned draft evaders. President Carter (4) also stopped B-1 bomber production, (5) gave away our strategically located Panama Canal and (6) made human rights the central focus of his foreign policy. That led Carter, a Democrat, (7) to make a monumental miscalculation and withdraw U.S. support for our long-standing Mideast military ally, the Shah of Iran. (8) Carter simply didn't like the Shah's alleged mistreatment of imprisoned Soviet spies. |

#1 Today's Democrats are nothing like Presidents Roosevelt, Truman and Kennedy... That's because, in the historical context of the Donks listed, the current crop would have been open Communists or Socialists and not Donks. Donks like Senator and Vice President Hubert Humphrey, while promoting classical liberal agendas, went after the neo-communists in his own party. The left paid him back in 1968 doing to him what they are now trying to do to Lieberman. In the great Karma of life, the left insured Nixon's election. Today they're working just as hard to keep the Trunks in. Being a lefty means never having to learn. |
