Can blaming America be a winning strategy?

Does anyone else find it odd that Democrats are more worried about President Bush than al Qaida? Listening in yesterday on senate debate about the NSA international eavesdropping program, it was obvious that Russ Feingold would rather allow al Qaida unfettered ability to plan attacks than have this president get credit for stopping such attacks. Why else would Feingold and other Democrats object to legislation giving a legal program the imprimatur of senate approval?

It’s politics that’s why. And it’s loser politics at that. Democrats continue to think that the path to an election victory in November can be achieved by blaming American generally and an American president specifically for all of the world’s woes. Democrats blame America for making terrorists a bit uncomfortable while gaining invaluable information to protect America. You go Democrats. That’s a winner. 98% of Americans could care less what happens to the murdering bastards once they are caught.

American Liberals have not yet discovered what their British partner Tony Blair has. Blair recently noted,


"Part of the problem you have in Western opinion is that [the West] always wants to believe that it's our fault and these people want to have a ... grievance culture that they visit upon us and say it's our fault. And so we have a young British-born man of Pakistani origin sitting in front of a television screen saying, 'I will go and kill innocent people because of the oppression of Muslims,' when he has been brought up in a country that has given him complete religious freedom and full democratic rights and actually a very good job and standard of living. That warped mind has grown out of a global movement based on a perversion of Islam which we have to confront, and we have to confront it globally."

The problem here is that it not just the terrorists that have “warped” minds. Democrats and their willing accomplices in the MSM are “warped” as well. Democrats whine about us being less safe all the while undermining every program this administration has undertaken to keep us safer. They turn a fraternity type prank into a perpetual national self-flagellation. They even object to plainly stating who the enemy is – Islamo-terror-fascists.

Hard to believe that Democrats can find a winning strategy in all of that. We’ll see in about 54 days.
