IN the 1960s, my sister was part of the Free Speech Movement at Berkeley. She was arrested in a civil rights sit-in. Naturally, she was a lifelong Democrat.
Today, she is a 9-11 Republican. She is not alone.
My sister is no less committed to civil rights than before. But she believes that not being murdered by Islamist terrorists is also an important civil right. She is not sure that the Democratic Party completely agrees with her.
For 9-11 Republicans, this is the most significant political issue. The GOP gets it, while the Democratic Party doesn't.
Many recent former Democrats are astonished and a bit embarrassed to see where they have landed politically. The rest of the Republican program may leave them cold. They may have doubts about Bush's handling of the war, treatment of prisoners and everything else. But unless and until the Democratic Party fixes its national-security problem, my sister and others like her will not vote Democratic in November's congressional races, nor in the 2008 presidential contest.

"Paul Kujawsky is a member of the California Democratic Party Central Committee."
The excerpt is the front part of the article, then he proceeds to explain that the Dems need to adopt a platform:
"While not the only issue facing America, this war is the single most important issue of our generation.
We must unequivocally win this war, however long it takes. "
This is EXACTLY the Republican platform. The Dems must do at least a "me too", but they are doing exactly the opposite, doing everything they can to hinder us in our pursuit of the War on Terror.
Even some of hte Dems are starting to see this and that the American people will vote to LIVE, which means vote for Republicans, because the Dem policies will kill us all.
Was the article written before W negotiated a cease fire between Israel and Hezbullah with France?
I believe that more and more Democrats will be expressing these same sentiments.
With the Dem moonbats kicking Joe Lieberman out of the party, they also kicked the rest of the moderate Dems out with him.
French and living up to their word rarely collide in the same sentance.
It's holding up -- France hasn't fired on either.
The Bush haters would rather see us living as Dhimmis than admit that he is right about ANYTHING concerning the War on Terror.
---She is not sure that the Democratic Party completely agrees with her. ---
LOL, you just cant make-up this stuff folks. lol
They don't just hate Bush, he is simply the most visible symbol of what they hate most: westerm civilization
"The Bush haters would rather see us living as Dhimmis than admit that he is right about ANYTHING concerning the War on Terror islam."
There; now it's correct.
It's all about political power and their lack of it. There's nothing more amusing than watching Dem operatives recite their talking points with that look that says even they don't believe what they're saying.
Make no mistake, Dems will claim the mantle of nabbing bin Laden once in power and will wave the war flag high.
This is the big variable the MSM is leaving out in its prognosticating about the November elections. And Dems. rejoicing over a liberal judge halting NSA wiretaps, the very week it was discovered they helped to unravel the London airline plots, will only reinforce in voters' minds that the Democratic party is more anti-Bush than they are anti-terrorist. They'll gain little ground in November as a result.
Another concept the Democrats need to wrap their minds around is the fact that United States citizens are not going to vote for politicians who bet against the home team.
We are not at war with Islam, only the radical murdering terrorists, who use Islam as an excuse. Just the way the Nazis and communists used their ideology as an excuse to murder and subjugate people, the terrorists are trying to justify their subhuman actions with Islam.
Indonesia has a large Muslim population and most of them are very peaceful.
I'd like all that right here, too.
Islam does justify the subhuman actions of the terrorists.
The author is completely correct and has next to no chance of seeing what he wants to have happen occur. Which is a shame.
Liberal base = Al-queda sympathizers
