We have the right… but we also have a responsibility. Those who accept no responsibility with their right can not be trusted with that right. In war time, no one is more dangerous than an irresponsible individual willing to aid and abet our enemies for sake of political gain.

So true. To become more than a child, one must accept responsibility. Democrats - the party of irresponsible children.

We should start a campaign of "Dean is a traitor" to counter the "Bush is a lier" nonsense.
