Life Goes On - Maybe

The Democrats won. Life goes on. But perhaps for not as long given their views on national defense.

The Democrats just don't seem to be interested in national defense. Instead of keeping the bad guys locked up at Gitmo, they want to let them out to go kill again. They don't want to monitor terrorist communications in order to prevent them from planning and executing further atrocities. They don't want to use a little coercion to gain critical information that would also be helpful in preventing future attacks. They would rather leave our country's security up to the United Nations, where most of the members would rather see the United States disappear from the face of the earth.

The leaders of today's Democratic Party would rather spend their energy demonizing the domestic opposition and promising benefits for alternative lifestyles than dealing with the fact that brutal tyrants acquiring weapons of mass destruction and intent on using them still exist in the world. FDR did not hesitate to inflict collateral damage on German cities in order to defeat the global ambitions of Adolf Hitler. Harry Truman understood that collateral damage was necessary in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in order to bring Japan to its knees. Our leaders used to know that to win a war you have to not only destroy the enemy's capability to fight but his will to fight.

But Democrats don't seem to want to deal with the clear and present dangers America faces. They choose to focus on handing out entitlements to people who vote for them, to be paid for by those who didn't. But unless they begin to take the War on Terror more seriously, the Americans that do survive may be surprised to find out the islamic fundamentalists in control frown on abortion, gay marriage, affirmative action, womens rights and freedom of any kind.
