I have a message to send out to many top Democrat officials in this country: Keep saying exactly what you are saying. In fact, become even more extreme and shrill in your public lexicon. Keep telling the American people exactly who you are, and what you believe. You will only further solidify Republican electoral victories across the fruited plain and produce Reagan Democrats by the gazillions.
The modern-day Democratic Party has been hijacked by the loony peacenik crowd of the 1960s. In fact, this fringe faction is embodied in today's mainstream of the party. Look no further than recent comments made about the U.S. military and the Iraq war by 1960s retreads like DNC Chairman Howard "Deaniac" and Sen. John Kerry from Massachusetts. Their comments, of course, represent the modern definition of American patriotism, since it undermines the commander-in-chief, American foreign policy, and the U.S. military, let alone emboldening the enemy.
But not surprisingly, what doesn't get much attention from the elite media is just how eerily similar the Democrats' diatribe on the Iraq war echoes with other pro-American patriots such as Zarqawi, bin-Laden, and al-Zawahiri. In a video statement made just last week, Osama bin-Laden's number two man, Ayman al-Zawarhiri, stated, "Iraq is a catastrophe for America, and Americans will leave. You entered Iraq with lies; you will lose Iraq and lie about it."
Now if any of us were to ponder just who would make that type of statement, one would most certainly have to conclude it was said from someone in the upper echelons of the Democratic Party, not the world's second most wanted terrorist. So just exactly who are these liberal strategist wizards behind closed doors that prop-up Democrat leaders to say such similar remarks? I encourage them to receive a pay-raise.
Maybe even a promotion.

Today, liberal politicians continue to re-run the 2004 election campaign with their cacophonous remarks. This of course, bodes well for the opposition party. Also helpful is that the Democratic Party has maneuvered itself in such a way to gain political fortune at the expense of American humiliation and setback. For that, the party is invested entirely in defeat. Expect a public backlash and a downright dismal return on investment for Democrats in a matter of time.
