Peril? Peril? What Peril?

What Is Blocking Their View?

Two such bring-the-boys-home resolutions were passed last Wednesday night by the Democratic Club. How will bringing them home cure terrorism? Picky, picky. Don’t annoy me with details. The Democrats must believe that if they stand in the middle of a room with one hand over each ear, terrorism will self-cure. Astonishingly, these hyped people seem to believe that if the boys in uniform are brought home, it will become 1900 Yesterday all ver again in America. All bad things will go away. Now do you understand why Democrats have not been allowed to run our country for awhile? This also is why, as we have said before, Democrats usually lose Presidential elections. Americans seem to know whom they can trust. If Democrats are smart people, and many are, how could they do endorse such bring-the-boys-home documents? They can’t all be related to my second ex-wife.

We See the Same Evidence

Surely Democrats see what the rest of the world sees when they study the Middle East. Every single instant of terrorism, mainly but not only against Israel, is inextricably linked. Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad all play on the same team, all are from the same jar of mustard. Their uniforms may be slightly different. They play for the same manager, and they have the identical single objective, to destroy the Jewish state and to kill every Jew on earth. Do you think that alone will slake the savage thirst of the terrorists? Or do you think that will just warm them up and nudge them into the mood to practice more killing? Do you think the Muslim terrorists believe that all Christians should be allowed to survive in serenity? Do you think they are like you and me, consumed with building a family, earning a decent living and developing a happy hearth? That may make you a Democrat. It does not make you savvy.

Attention-Starved Boys Will Be Boys

After listening to the First Amendment lawyer Stephen Rohde address the Democratic Club this week, I walked away in amazement and disappointment over the naivete of Mr. Rohde and his cheering listeners. He made a pitch for impeachment of President Bush. I understand that when a political party is bored and out of power, this is what people do to amuse themselves. They need attention. Expressing a dash of outrage serves two purposes. It excites their crowd. It makes a life pass faster than losing elections or swatting flies does.

Postscript

In reviewing the two resolutions passed by the Democratic Club, my attention was arrested — if members will forgive the irony — by the Democrats’ peculiar softness, their seemingly unabashed sympathy, toward the enemy. In one resolution, the second assertedly damning statistic offered was that 50,000 Iraqis have died in this war. I have two criticisms of this unusual mechanism known as “Democratic reasoning.” First, the 50,000 was grabbed out of the air, like smoke. The number, from my research, is not dependably known. Second, is 50,000 dead Iraqis a compelling reason to bring the boys home? Why? Please explain. If we had followed this creative thinking in World War II, you know what language you would be speaking today, don’t you? What if Gen. Patton had made this telephone call one morning: “Hello, Mabel? Tell the family we are coming home because 2,000 Germans have been killed, and that’s enough.” The second resolution endorsed by the Democratic Club claims “over 45,000 Iraqi casualties.” Aside from the gap in numbers, I ask: Are 45,000 Iraqi casualties reason to bring the boys home? Or would one casualty have been too many? If the boys come home too soon, I presume we shall see each other at the warfront — in this country.
