WARNING: This diary contains hard facts and truths that will cause me to get a troll rating from every self-respecting liberal who reads it.
The liberals in the democratic party have caused the party to be doomed for the forseeable future. I have been trying to ask myself do liberals hate America, I mean honestly. The Guantanamo Bay issue is an absolute disaster for Democrats. Can anyone explain to me why Barbara Boxer, Ted Kennedy and Dick Durbin(will never forgive you for your apology, be a man for once) are so excited to bring up these abuses? Aren't US soldiers patrolling the place? Where do you want to move the prison? Do you really think Americans are that concerned about treatments of "possible terrorists" or whether or not their subways or workplace will be blown up. It's really disturbing that it took Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden from Oregon and Sen. Ben Nelson from Nebraska to state it is not as bad as others would have you believe after they visited the place. I noticed how Sen. Wyden was quick to defend the troops from his home state, basically saying he is a Democrat and he supports the troops. Thanks to Kennedy, Boxer, and others on the far left, Democrats have to go out their way to show they support the troops. Tragic.
The next issue is Homeland Security. How hypocritical can liberals be on this issue? Is this a joke? They moan and groan about lack of funding for Homeland Security, but are completely silent when it comes to illegal immigration. Illegals should have driver's licenses? They have access to other services because they are in America, but since they don't pay taxes ...guess who pays for it? But their is not enough money for Homeland Security. I hope it doesn't take a 18-wheeler from Mexico full of explosives to open people's eyes. If you are going to address Homeland Security, be honest about it..or shut up. I don't want to hear another Democrat talk about Homeland Security until they talk about illegal immigration. Kudos to Hillary Clinton for even having the courage to discuss illegal immigration as a problem. Everytime I hear Ted Kennedy talk about Homeland Security, I cringe...Teddy you were effective back in the 80's maybe, but now you are unfortunately one of the reasons there are more Republicans than Democrats in the country.
I was listening to Air America the other night and the horrible Sam Seder was in for Randi Rhodes and he was trying to defend gun control. The caller just ate him alive. I just had to turn off the radio. This issue IS SUICIDAL FOR DEMOCRATS. The older I get the more I realize how ridiculous it is. How can you tell a law abiding, tax paying citizen he's not responsible enough to have a firearm? CRIMINALS will get guns no matter how many laws are on the books. Especially the ones that the illegals bring over when they come through our porous borders...WE have to follow Howard Dean's lead on this one...
Liberalism or far left liberalism is what cause us to be out of the White House for 12 consecutive years after Carter. It took a moderate, and a little help from Perot to stop that trend. Liberalism is what cause Republicans to take control of the Congress in 1994. Liberalism is why Democrats continue to lose and lose and lose...I promise your this though, for every one of you who criticize Harry Reid, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Diane Feinstein, Evan Bayh, Ben Nelson, etc....there are millions of us who understand what they are trying to do and will not let the radical left dictate this party's agenda. How ridiculous it is that many of you think this party must go left to regain power...why don't you look at how many counties John Kerry won, and then tell me if you think the party still should go left. The time is perfect for Democrats to regain some footing...so many disgruntled Republicans and Independents are looking elsewhere for leadership, but because of the radical left in our party and THEIR WEAKNESS ON DEFENSE...the Democratic Party in not even an option. At first I thought when Republicans claim liberals are weak on Defense, I thought it was just lip service, but after reading thread after thread on Guantanamo Bay, criticizing the war in Afghanistan...not Iraq, well...
