Dems insecurity and Alito

Dems on security (a non-secquitur if ever there was one)

If Dems ran Washington, the TV show “24” would have to re-titled “15 Minutes” because, that’s how long it would take terrorists to succeed in their plots. Dems are fond of saying that they are great patriots - that they can be trusted with nation’s security. The only problem is that when given a chance to demonstrate their commitment to that security they ALWAYS come down on the side of the terrorists.

Congress ought to pass a law that politicians have to give equal time to America’s enemies. Read that again. It’s not a mistake. So, when Teddy, have you seen my diving mask and swim flippers, Kennedy goes to the senate floor to blast the President of the United States, he’d have to spend at least as much time blasting Mullah Omar and Osama bin Laden. When Howard, if it weren’t for my bad back…, Dean says we can’t win in Iraq, he’d at least have to say that the enemy deserves to be defeated. When John, the good and honorable, Murtha weeps like a baby to discourage young American’s from joining our armed forces, he’d at have to say at the least America needs to have an army.

Now, using anonymous sources, a low-life working for the NY Times has gone about publishing stories about secret CIA programs to catch terrorists. Predictably, Dems are up in arms that the president would go about using his constitutional powers to protect America. Author Risen for his part calls the treasonous dolts who released state secrets during a time of war heroes, because they are protecting our rights. That is an ends justify the means argument. Yes, the exact same kind of argument that Dems, in fits of moral superiority, here-to-fore condemned.

This is the bizzaro world of Dems. They say they are fit to protect the nation’s security, but their heroes are the people that are exposing state secrets, trashing America’s President, discouraging Americans from serving in the armed forces and giving aid and comfort to the enemy.


Alito Hearings

In the post below, Lex finds humor in the fact that, on the one hand, Dems will say the most outrageous things about Sam Alito, while on the other try to maintain the appearance of objectivity. “Yes, yes, we all know that Judge Alito is the worst judge, nay human being in the history of the world, but I’m maintaining an open mind about his confirmation.” BULLEXCERMENT! They have made their determination before the gavel fell to open yesterday’s hearings.

Now the Chucky Schumer wing of the Dem Party is threatening a filibuster. Great! This threat has all of the consequences of Lex jr. saying, “Tell me to quiet down! Fine, I’ll never talk again.” Now, no matter how much we'd all like for him to follow through with the threat, we all know it's impossible. Dems won’t be able to get 40 votes from their own party. Red state Dems, including Bobby, name the bridge after me, Byrd, have already indicated that Alito deserves an up or down vote. So even if the usual bunch of RepubiRATS jump ship, Chucky lacks the votes. Knowing they can only pull the trigger on this once will keep the filibuster in the bag.
