Cynthia Tucker of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution says Republican opponents of New START are unpatriotic, among other things. Personally, I’m leaning in favor of the treaty but this is totally unhinged. It is also a much more direct attack on political opponents’ patriotism than conservatives supposedly engage in against liberals.

Of course you like the treaty. You're a strident liberal adamantly opposed to a strong defense. You've been calling for defense cuts for quite some time, and now, the Dems are bullying Republicans to agree to one of the largest defense cuts ever: a radical reduction of America's nuclear arsenal.

Who cares if China achieves nuclear parity status with the US, right?

And on cue, the Cynthia Tucker of the right.

Don't you even pretend to do a nat-sec dance with me, Antle. You know nothing about defense issues. Yet, you preach sermons about them every week. Moreover, by preaching a liberal message, you're making a very bad name for AmSpec.

The START treaty is absolutely unacceptable, even if one accepts the (absolutely ridiculous) premise on which it is based and wishes to see bilateral/multilateral nuclear disarmament.

Why are you surprised? She writes garbage like that all the time. If you don't think the way she does you're a racist, homophobic, misogynistic neo-conservative Neanderthal. In other words, you're probably right and she has no argument to offer.

The left, including Cynthia Tucker, are rabid non-patriots. It's something that has needed to be said to their faces long and hard. They actually do hate the country as it is.
