Lieberman's War
Senator Joe Lieberman of Connecticut. His name will go down in history in a way he never thought it would: voted out of office by Democrats not by conservatives. Why is the leftwing Joe Liberman in such an insufferable position today? After all, he has faithfully supported the Democrat cause for such a long time that you would think he could join the ranks of such luminaries as Robert Byrd of W. Virginia. But Joe has committed a crime apparently more unforgivable than Byrd's alma mater in the Ku Klux Klan and that's Lieberman's commitment to support the War On Terror.
The Radical Democrats have made it their mission to purge all party members who actually support the President's constitutional mandate to protect the American people. Since 9/11/01, America has waged war, although quite tepidly for my taste, with Islamic terror states and their proxies such as Al Qaida and Hezbollah to name a few. Afghanistan fell quickly and then Iraq was next after a rather long diplomatic dance at the UN for the sake of leftists all around the world to assuage any guilt of not having to have "talked" first before we attacked Saddam's fiefdom in Mesopotamia. Their adherence to their diplomacy-only policy has neutered the party's ability to support any type of military option even if it means defending America.
Democrats have never been quite the same after World War II the last time they supported war and since then have nearly surrendered to that other great terror, the communists, on almost every front with the notable exception of Europe. During the Cold War, the Democrat administrations of Roosevelt and then Truman set the standard for fighting communism throughout the world: Retreat, retreat, and more retreat. Naturally, it was called something else like "containment" but it was our policy to avoid all conflict with the Soviets and their fellow orcs even to the point of sacrificing allies and friends of freedom to the communist wolves from Eastern Europe to Southeast Asia.
We may have won the Cold War in Europe but we certainly lost it in Asia. And though we stood against the Soviet in Europa it was nothing more than a holding action. But did we really "win" it in Europe? That is subject to much debate however we can say for certain: the only thing that kept the communists at bay in Europe was the fact that the Anglo-Americans bombed the crap out of Germany in WWII and would have no qualms bombing Moscow back into the stone-age if they had set foot in Western Germany or Italy. The legacy of carpet-bombing kept the Russians from attacking Western Europe for nearly 50 years.
But that was then and this is now. The Islamic Terrorists have destroyed a major and significant section of New York City and attacked the Pentagon. They clearly have no such reticence in attacking the Anglo-Americans as they love death much more than life or at least that is what they say. After 9/11, is there no doubt they mean what they say? But for Democrats, their policy of appeasement to the communists has now been extended to terrorists and their state-sponsors.
Enter Democrat Senator Joe Lieberman. Joe has been a faithful servant of the Democrat Party and Democrat policy for a very long time but this can no longer carry weight with the Left in America. Joe actually can see the stakes in this new war for the light of liberty throughout the world but the Left has codified their policy of appeasement and anyone who picks up the sword to defend himself must be banned from the party as a heretic. Perhaps it is his Jewish heritage that he sees Israel's last best hope rests with the United States of America at one time called the "arsenal of democracy". But indeed, even Joe's Jewishness cannot save him for we have seen how the Left on both sides of the Atlantic have embraced anti-semitism in all its ugly manifestations from name-calling such as the "Neo-con" epithet to outright bigotry in their rather shortsided university policies to exclude investing in Israel among other anti-Jewish/anti-Israel attacks.
This is now Joe's fight for the soul of the Democrat Party. Or perhaps the fight is gone and we are simply seeing the candle-light flicker out in the party of the Left as they descend into the darkness of Islamic servitude after so many years of cowering to communism. Joe should remember that when all seems lost that God has preserved for himself a remnant that has not bowed their knee to Baal.
Courage.

I love Joe Lieberman, I this thing blew my cap a long time ago. It's like the ideology of being Pro-Life in the Democratic Party; you're shunned. Too bad these 'open-minded' individuals aren't that open-minded.
I don't love Joe but I think all democrats and republicans alike should get on board the War On Terror and kick some Islamic terror hiney!
Unfortunately, the 9/11 attack apparently didn't get the Dems all fired up like it did me.
I'm not that big a Bush fan but I do support my President in a time of war. What's so hard about choosing which side you want to win? Don't the Dems want the USA to win this war?
