NEVER AGAIN

The Democrats gave our totally delusional
President a Father's day gift: a blank check
for continuous war.

There were tip-off signs the Dems were not
going to abide by the Nov. 2006 election
cry to say halt to the insane Iraq escapade.
The first inkling came when the Dems put
Steny Hoyer in to be majority leader over
Jack Murtha. Ye gads! among his baggage
is the fact he has been ambiguous on the
right or wrongs of the war. Too, Steny's
sister works for the Israel cause.The same
Israel whose cadre of neo-cons got us into
this Iraqi mess with their plots and lies.
NEVER AGAIN will this blog assist Dems
as a party. Individuals, yes. Party, no.

On a personal note: How could I have been
so naive as to believe the current band of
Dems would adhere to the will of the voters
and stanch the blood of the calamitous war.
I grew up talking to Democrats about Dem-
ocrats and watching them comply to the
plebicites with gusto. Grandfather was in
the N.Y. Assembly with Al Smith & Jimmy
Walker, I should have known this crew of
Democrats would not measure up. But this
war is so bad, so wrong, so noxious for Am-
erica, for Iraq, for the region, for the world
it distorts reason in some cases.

One question: If we achieve "victory" what
will we achieve? Think. No platitudes, no
cliches. What will we win? The answer is
nothing, since we would only recover part
of what we have lost. Our army is depleted.
Our national guards are decimated. Some
civil rights have been thwarted. As of now
30,000 soldiers have been killed or maim-
ed. God alone knows how many Iraqi men,
women and children dead,wounded,miss-
ing. We have lost the trust and respect of
former friends and allies. We've made a
billion enemies in the Arab and Muslim
worlds. Our future is one of excessive
security priorities and more loss of our
civil rights. The longer this horror goes
on,the more the above havoc will grow
for many generations to come.

SJ started a web site last year" calling
to light the misrepresentations of our
transient officials and the main stream
media." Been many blasts against Bush,
Cheney, Condi, Rummy, Bolton et al.
Now for every punch thrown at the Re-
pug party another wil go to the hide of
the Democrats. NEVER AGAIN will the
Dems get a free ride on the blog.

Harry Hopkins, affectionally known by
FDR as Harry The Hop, was a Dem ad-
visor, free loader, and fund raiser par
excellence. He was credited with saying
that a winning political strategy is to
"tax and tax, spend and spend, elect
and elect" May be true, but they will
have to do it without my support. For
any pol, that hasn't the courage or for-
sight to vote against the Iraq insanity,
has no standing to speak for this land.
