Mr. Begala said. "We're really tired of being bullied by Fox.''

p>Shouldn't that be: "We're really tired of being confronted with some of the truth by Fox"? br> -- Reid Bogie br> Waterbury, Connecticut /p>

There's a sentiment which underlies the "cut and run'" mentality Mr. Lord so ably identified:

Modern Democrats seek to "cut and run" because, ultimately, they don't believe the United States is worthy of being "first." They do not believe we're a force for good in the world and they would just as soon see our role diminish, with the result that they oppose any U.S. policy which, in their view, has a whiff of "self-interest" to it.

p>It's also why they're in love with the United Nations and with thugs like Chavez (Jimmy Carter, call your office...) -- anything that takes us down a few notches (especially when there's a Republican President) is all good.
