The Do-Nothing Democrats

"Phony Soldiers."

This small statement said in conversation with a caller almost 2 weeks ago is still a hot topic on Capitol Hill.

Dirty Harry Reid has led an effort to smear, attack, degrade, and pretty much call for the suspension, if not complete removal from air, Rush Limbaugh. Our tax dollars are funding the salaries of these soundbite mongers. Our tax dollars are being spent on representatives who chose to spend time arguing against a private citizen instead of trying to fix the problems this country is facing.

And its all over a blatant LIE.

It is a LIE...there is nothing to argue or debate about. What Reid and his liberal wack-job cohorts are crying foul about is a lie. It is a manipulation of the situation. It is a blatant attack on an American citizen and what they do or don't do in their occupation.

Rush did say the words "Phony Soldiers," in reference to former military speaking out against the Iraq war. The catch to these people, the snafu that makes them, in fact, phony, is the small detail that they WERE NEVER IN IRAQ. While everyone is entitled to their opinion, former military who never served in Iraq should not speak against the war as though they have been in this particular war.

Other media outlets, including ABC, have used the term before. "Phony Soldiers" is not something coined by Rush. Yet, to hear the Congressional record the past two weeks, you would think "Phony Soldiers" was a term coined by an anti-troop, anti-war, anti-American kook...but Rush is not on Air America...Rush is about as Patriotic, pro-Soldier as one can get. He has visited Walter Reed, toured the bases in Afghanistan and Iraq, and constantly supports the troops in every way he can.

Yet, Rush, Sean Hannity, and any right-wing commentator these liberals can think of, are being dragged through the mud as being everything the liberals have actually been. Anti-American. Anti-Troop. Anti-Patriotic.

It was a democrat liberal who called our troops "Nazi's."

It was a democrat liberal who said that our troops "terrorize women and children in the dark of night."

It was a democrat who compared the troops in our war prisons to those of the Russian "gulags."
It is the liberal democrat movement to cut funding for the war...as well as cut the defense budget to force us out of Iraq. (In the meantime, the troops will have to start chucking rocks and empty clips at the enemy as the money runs out.)

When Ahmadenijiad came to Columbia, he was speaking from liberal democratic talking points. (Did you really NOT notice how much like Hillary or Edwards or Reid or Pelosi Ahmadenijiad sounded?)

You see, the liberals know truth, facts, reality, and human decency really won't get them into control. They cannot defeat a true conservative in a one-on-one, mature debate.

Instead, they spend time NOT fixing social security, NOT fixing the fledgling Welfare System, NOT securing our borders, and NOT protecting us from future attacks. They choose to attack radio commentators who do little more than give the other side of the story...known in most dictionaries as the truth. I guess when your approval rating is lower than the President you've spent 8 years lying about, you have to attack someone else.

I pay a lot in taxes. A little less than I did in the 90's, percentagewise at least. In losing money to the government, I would like to see my dollars better spent. I think it is a gross waste of time for Congress to be stalled for 2 weeks to debate and discuss a two-word statement by a private citizen. Its such a waste of time and money.

I guess though, what can you expect. In their year since the major upset win in 2006, what have they done? The war continues, with progress, despite their constant emboldening of the enemy. Their non-binding resolution parade of the spring was nothing but a waste of time. Their blatant smear attacks on General Petraeus was dispicable. What have they really done since the election?

I think its time these democrats get back to work.

I mean, come on, there are thousands more bridges and post offices to rename.
