A Boston Tea Party …(Who Is The Enemy Here)

The same group of people who won’t allow for scores to be kept in their children’s sports games because it places to much importance on winning are overtly sacrificing their patriotism for the hope of winning the next election. Democrats are eagerly rallying around Amnesty International’s statement that compares the U.S. military base in Guantanamo Bay to that of a “gulag”. It should not surprise anyone who has paid attention to the way Democrats have acted during the war with Iraq that Democrats are much more willing to accept and believe any negative about the U.S. military than they are to praise any military action.

Oh certainly, Democrats will tell you they believe America should be held to a higher standard. They will repeatedly say they are 100% behind the troops. What they really mean is they are 100% behind the troops as long as we are not involved in any type of conflict. The left believes the U.S. should run a war with Pledge and Windex, it must be done spotless and without error. Oh sure, China may imprison millions of citizens, North Korea may kill its citizens, ethnic cleansing can happen in Bosnia, the Sudan, and Iraq but it is the American military who purposely unprotects the civil rights of its prisoners. It has gotten so bad we are made to believe the military must piss down wind to make sure a Koran is not hit by any potential splash.

Prisoners at Guatanamo Bay went through extensive interviewing before they were deemed enemy combatants. Over 10,000 prisoners were released during these interviews while 500 or so were deemed to dangerous to be released while the war is still being fought. This isn’t good enough for the average Democrat. They demand these 500 are provided lawyers and should be given unprecedented care.

A Democrat must be asked who is the enemy here? Should not more respect be given to the apparatus that protects our freedoms than to those that would kill us? Democrats, deep in their hearts, believe America is the enemy. They have yet to accept that it is the very secular way in which they want to live that upsets the Muslim world. The 3,000 people who died on 9/11 never provided the outrage from the left as have the 500 detainees at Guatanamo Bay. They should be embarrassed. Many of these lefties had ancestors who fought in WWI and WWII. Those ancestors knew who the enemy was.

Democrats have forgotten how to act during war and would do well to learn from their relatives from the past. I keep hoping they will remember what country they live in. In war we have to choose sides and keep score, it doesn’t work like t-ball at the parks and rec. Democrats want to say they are for us but their actions say otherwise. They continually celebrate failure and depress the successes of the current war.
