Despite the incredible turn around in Iraq, congressional Democrats are still angling for ways to ensure defeat, not for our enemy, but for the United States. The people leading the party in this new century bear no resemblance to the people who made the party great in the last.
You have to look no further than the alienation of Joe Lieberman for evidence of how far left they have gone off the rails. Scoop Jackson, Sam Nunn, this type of strong Democrat is no longer welcome. Worse, they are villified.
As a former Democrat, I am saddened by the intellectual rot that has become the norm for national party leaders.
Listen to this speech on the 44th anniversary of JFK’s death. Close your eyes, can you imagine any Democrat alive today who can measure up?
