Amen to that.
Murtha said the "American public is way ahead of us."
Now, THAT part he got exactly right!
Leftists use the phrase
American public to mean the
minority of Americans who agree with them that America ought to lose the War On Terror. Symptomatic of a contemporary phenomenon that I call
subtextual schism whereby conservatives and leftists use different sets of underlying assumptions about reality. Further illustrated with a couple of quotes that seem to mean different things depending upon your political orientation.
Our troops have become the enemy." Rep. John Murtha of Pennsylvania
“The fact is that, unlike during other times of national threat or crisis, the United States of America is not at war.” Jimmy Carter
