The Campaign of Hate and Fear Some of my fellow Democrats are unpatriotic.

In one of Patrick O'Brian's novels about the British navy during the Napoleonic wars, he dismisses a particularly foolish politician by saying that his political platform was "death to the Whigs." Watching the primary campaigns among this year's pathetic crop of Democratic candidates, I can't help but think that their campaigns would be vastly improved if they would only rise to the level of "Death to the Republicans."

With the help of a complicit media, populated by liars, the Demoncrats have dedicated themselves to the destruction of much of what was once valued most highly.

"The right of citizens to bear arms is just one more guarantee against arbitrary government, one more safeguard against the tyranny which ... historically has proven to be always possible." - United States Senator Hubert Humphrey

We have enemies that have earned our hatred, and whom we should fear. They are fanatical terrorists who seek opportunities to kill American civilians here and Israeli civilians in Israel. But right now, our national media and the Democratic Party are trying to get us to believe that the people we should hate and fear are George W. Bush and the Republicans.

Never Forget.

Clinton wake-up ping! During the Clinton Admin. is when I finally realized you can't be an "I vote for the man, not the party" type voter.
Everytime, now, I hear someone say that, I ask them if they like Kennedy, Hillary, etc. When they say no, I tell them that every local democrat vote gives them the underlying power to stay in office and undermine the US.

I'm trying to convert one at a time.
