An old adage says that even a blind squirrel will sometimes find an acorn. But when it comes to issues related to identifying enemies of the United States, Democrats apparently defy probability. Jeffrey Lord's analysis of those who speak for the party neatly illustrates this. What reason can be proffered for these phenomena? These people hate George Bush to such a degree and so intensely that it clouds their judgment and prevents them from seeing what is obvious to the rest of us. They are so desperate to regain power they appear to be willing to jeopardize the security of our nation in order to procure sufficient votes to win control of Congress. According to the twisted view of some of them, the actions of terrorists bent on our total annihilation are morally equivalent to those of our nation and its attempts to protect itself from this menace. Meanwhile, they offer no alternative other than cut and run.

p>The American people are tired of their shrill denunciations and endless complaining. Until Democrats articulate a comprehensive and reasonable alternative to the Bush administration's prosecution of this war, the majority will pay no attention to them. As long as they persist in minimizing the imminent threat posed by Islamic terrorism and cling to their naïve notion that these groups can somehow be placated through negotiation or appeasement, most Americans will continue to prefer Republican leadership. Most Americans recognize cowardice and self-serving opportunism for what it is and are repulsed by it. Hopefully, they will express their displeasure at the ballot box in November. br> -- Rick Arand br> Lee's Summit, Missouri /p>

I highly recommend you remove Jeffrey Lord from your staff. I don't mean to be disrespectful, but his rant is full of logical fallacies. In order to preserve any sort of integrity, you really should let him go.
