The Democrats wouldn't want to hurt anyone's feelings, even if it means capitulating to the terrorists.

I totally agree. I was just trying to reinforce your excellent comment.

Long ago, I used to wonder if the Dummycrats were merely blinded by an overweening desire to cure all of societies ills. For decades now, I have held the view that the Leftist leadership is incapable of accepting anything other than total control. They are, as they often demonstrate, capable of treason in the pursuit of power.

As often stated in these fora, vipers like Teddy Kennedy, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton etc. manipulate the "useful idiots" in pursuit of one goal-- power. As a result of nature and/or nurture, Collectivists cannot bear being held out of power. Remember the kid who always had to be the Hall Monitor in school?

Keep in mind that when John Kerry was in school, his classmates would play "Hail to the Chief" on Kazoos when
he entered a room.
