Dems parrot enemy talking points

North Korea’s nuke test is evidence of an unstable North Korean leader, an ineffective UN, a weak-kneed regional ally - South Korea, a double-dealing antagonist trying to play both sides - China and an American administration that insists on playing its hand from a position of strength while refusing to be blackmailed by any of the penny ante bit players in the region. The Democrat response to the North Korean nuke test was swift, harsh – even shrill in some cases – and totally directed at President Bush.

Democrats stopped just short parroting North Korea’s UN diplomat who, like Democrats, blamed America for the test but went on to say that North Korea should be congratulated rather than condemned. But it’s a new day. Maybe the last line of the North Korean talking points fax was garbled and Dems will get it right today.

It won’t be the first time that Dems took their talking points from America’s sworn enemies. Hugo Chaves came to the UN and, except for the translator, sounded just like Howard Dean, Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, Shill Clinton et al. During the 2004 election, Osama bin Laden released a tape that made many of the same points as John Kerry.

Iran makes its case for nukes by saying the US is the world’s bad guy and oh by the way the nukes are only for peaceful purposes – like blowing Israel off the face of the Earth. Dems say Bush’s multilateral approach in Korea and Iran is the problem. They make this absurd claim with a straight face after they hammered Bush for a so-called unilateral approach with Iraq. Multilateral is Dem code talk for taking the French, Russian and Chinese positions on world issues. To hell with American security interests.

Democrats cannot bring themselves to blame the perpetrators. That would take some courage. To side with America against enemies that would have us destroyed when they can make political hay against Republicans? Yagotta be kidding. They’ll side with the nit wits railing against America for now. When they get their power back, they’ll find out what the nut jobs want and give it to them, nukes, money, food - whatever. Just don't rock the boat while Dems go about turning America into a weaker version of the socialist states in Europe.
