Liberalism at its Worst

Dick Durbin is a slime...and is the a-typical liberal.

His comparisons of our men and women to the evils of Stalinist Soviet troops and Hitler's Nazis is despicable, hurtful, cruel, and unfair. Our troops are NOTHING like the Nazis and Soviets. There are not mass graves of prisoners being filled. There are not massive numbers of casualties once a foreign combatant is apprehended.

Yet, liberals get away with attacking our troops this way because they are allowed to attack the President with reckless abandon. What better way to attack a war time president than to attack the men and women who are serving him?

"Our troops at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, are running the facilities like a Soviet gulag. Their mistreatment of the prisoners is like the Nazis. But, I support and love and am proud of our military."

How does that work? In essence, this is what Durbin and the liberal left is purporting. How can you accuse someone, FALSELY ACCUSE, that is, of war crimes and crimes against humanity, and in the next breath talk about how supportive and proud you are of them.

Durbin's comments were cruel, insensitive, and gave the enemy exactly what they want: another soundbite from a prominent American leader that supports the terrorist agenda. Yet, the alphabet channels will not call Durbin to the mat for this. Instead, we see a parade of liberals who refuse to call him out and speak out against the attacks on President Bush and our troops.

Thank God for Mayor Richard M. Daley in Chicago. He is one democrat who has his own thought processes. Instead of taking the kool aide and going along with the program, Daley has stepped up and demanded Durbin to right his wrong.

Durbin, instead, gave a bogus apology in which he defended his comments. If you are truly sorry, there is no need to defend the comments for which you are sorry. Instead, Durbin only says, "I'm sorry if I offended you," quoting loosely, and does not say he is sorry for what he said. He is sorry people did not get his message clearly and were hurt by it.

I am all for differing ideas, differing thoughts, and differing beliefs. I think that is the beauty of America. If you disagree with an ideal, policy, practice, or plan, fine! Cool! Great! Let's hear WHY and let's hear an alternative??

Nope, not happening with the left. They whine, complain, and obstruct. They offer nothing but obstruction and impedence. They attack every idea and plan...every person and suggestion and every proposed solution. Meanwhile, they offer no alternatives. They offer nothing but whining and complaining. Its easy to not be wrong and to be on the correct side when you don't pick a side and don't stick to a moral and ethical code.
