In the aftermath of the electoral losses by Republicans, and it was just that, not a victory for Democrats and their agenda, much has been written and spoken about the lessons learned. The obvious lesson for the Republicans is that they can’t have some of their members of Congress taking bribes and lusting after teenage boys without losing the support of the family values crowd and honest government types that put them there in the first place. Democrats need to only stand out of the way while this is happening and nominate enough conservative looking candidates to distract voters from their party's true liberal nature.
The enemies of America learned lessons from the election as well. Undoubtedly there was cheering in a cave somewhere along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border and a celebratory beheading somewhere in Sadr City when the results of the vote tallies were announced. President Bush was correct when he declared in the last weeks before the election that if Democrats win, terrorists do also. His words should be repeated since they will be recalled at some point as painfully prophetic, "However they put it, the Democrat approach in Iraq comes down to this: The terrorists win and America loses."
Terrorists learned that to win, they need only continue to do that which they do best, terrorize. Lopping off a head here and there, a few improvised explosive devices along a convoy route and the daily suicide bombing in a crowded market or a funeral procession will do the trick. Create just enough chaos to convince cowards in America that maybe the way Saddam Hussein ruled Iraq wasn’t so bad after all. Democrats and the Old Media will do the real heavy lifting.
Democrats spent a lot of time over the last year denying that it wanted to “cut and run” from Iraq. Their efforts to redefine their “retreat and defeat” strategy as “strategic withdrawal” or “phased redeployment” was as phony as Bill Clinton trying to change the meaning of “is”. The lesson terrorists learned is that Democrats will not fight them or any enemy of the United States in Iraq or anywhere else. This was evident in the response of the Democratic 527 group, MoveOn.org to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Even as the ruins of the World Trade Center were smoldering, MoveOn.org political chief Eli Pariser was circulating a petition uging, “moderation and restraint in responding to the terrorist attacks against the United States." Some of the same people are now promoting the absurd conspiracy theory that 9/11 was either caused or allowed to happen by President Bush and Vice President Cheney to justify waging a war for oil and profit.
Democrats see troops in the field not as heroes, but war criminals or victims of “failed policies.” Senator John Kerry has expressed this during two wars as only the effete Boston Brahmin that he is can. Even after 34 years, hearing Kerry comparing American troops to the army of “Genghis Kahn” is sounds as sickening now as it did the day he first said it. The sad reality is that Democrats find talking about soldiers useful only when they can be accused of wrongdoing or counted as casualties. Every one of them has applauded Cindy Sheehan, but few, if any have ever paid tribute to Sergeant First Class Paul R. Smith or even know that he was the first Medal of Honor winner in Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Even without troops engaged in battle, terrorists know that Democrats will serve their needs by crippling the intelligence and law enforcement capabilities used against them. With Democrats in power, terrorists should not be troubled that anyone might be listening in when they are discussing plans to strike, or that their funding might be intercepted of traced to their location or that they will have to endure discomfort or be forced to give up potentially live-saving information if they are captured.
Terrorists also learned that the Old Media is a source of valuable information about the methods and tactics employed by the United States to prevent their attacks. Before Democrats can destroy a secret tool in the counterterrorism arsenal, it must be made public through a “leak” to the New York Times or the Washington Post. Terrorists know that the U. S. Constitution makes such treason virtually impossible to prevent or punish because of the First Amendment’s sacred principle of freedom of the press.
These enemies of the United States also know that the Old Media will promote their propaganda and downplay information that might remind Americans of their deadly deeds against their fellow citizens. The film footage of office workers hitting the pavement after leaping from the burning towers over five years ago are deemed “too graphic” to ever be viewed, but a videotape of a sniper gunning down an American soldier plays in an endless loop on CNN. The Old Media will also help stage photographs designed to engender sympathy for the terrorists or undermine support for those fighting against them. If the images aren’t graphic enough, the Old Media will alter them to produce the appropriate message, as it did following the bombing of Beirut by the Israeli Air Force. An editor added dense smoke to look as if the damage inflicted was far greater than it actually was.
Terrorists’ best friends in the Old Media will posit that America is actually creating more terrorists by fighting them. They will also attack patriots who use “insensitive” words to accurately describe bloodthirsty thugs who would murder innocents and their motives for doing it. The Old Media will uncritically air the lunatic rantings of one “grieved” parent of a fallen soldier who opposes the war in Iraq and ignore the thousands of others who suffered the same loss but are proud of their loved one’s sacrifice and the cause for which it was made.
At some point, terrorists will be conflicted about Democrats and the Old Media. They will think that because they have been such great allies it will be a shame to kill them all. C’est la vie, Allah Akbar!
Well I guess we are officially courting the gay vote now.
How about stab him in the face with soldering iron?
Do you not remember who Jeff Gannon is?

Good article. Shameful what has become of this nation. Even more shameful is we had a brief moment in which to correct some of it (traitorous media, and treasonous people), but failed to do so.
Great visual!!! Just make sure you stab the person at a 45 degree angle to do the most damage.
Who the hell cares what Jeff Gannon says?
Maybe pervs Foley, Gannon and Frank can form their own 'think tank.'
Better yet,
Just market some anal fireworks. Call them "Youtube anal firework kit", and spread them around a RAT neighborhood. They'll use them.
Go Back to DU you troll.
So do you agree with the article or not?
