Patterns of Submission

Appeasement in our Democratic times. Also: Unpresumptuous Ken Livingstone. The price of lettuce vs. the price of emergency room care. Plus more.

(Page 2 of 13)

And, as if right on cue, we can add this bullet point: *2006 - 09/27, it was reported today on Fox News, that Charlie “you don’t call MY President the Devil in MY district” Rangel, would be only too happy, if the Democrats win the House, to use his position, then, as Chairman of Ways and Means, to de-fund the war in Iraq.

p>Let’s see, Charlie, would that be before or after, you impeach YOUR President? br> — Mike Showalter br> Austin, Texas /p> p> In his excellent explanation of the Democratic Party’s decline, Jeffrey Lord passes over former President Carter a little too quickly. This idiot — Carter, that is — did a good deal more than savage the defense establishment; he brought in his Naval Academy classmate, Stansfield Turner, as CIA director. Turner proceeded to eliminate some 900 covert agents around the world, explaining that we need not rely on such unsavory elements for the intelligence we needed, that we would henceforth depend for all we had to know on our national technical means of intelligence gathering, i.e., satellites; he did not explain how satellites were going to infiltrate governments and groups around the world who wished us ill, and of course we were not able to do so. Turner certainly did not do this without, I feel sure, the concurrence of his feckless commander in chief. To this day, this stupidity continues to cause the United States and, indeed, the rest of the world, a misery it does not deserve. br> — John G. Hubbell br> Minnetonka, Minnesota /p>

Great article. Too bad most Americans will never read it. I’ve been a Democrat turned Republican for the past 46 years. Yes, I voted for John F. Kennedy, but by the time Lyndon Johnson ran for President, I had achieved enough maturity to look at both the man and what he stood for.

p>Democrats are not only a disaster on national security; they condone the actions of the many traitors in their leadership. br> —
