Brian Baird is my representative. Not that I ever voted for him, but alas they only give me one vote.

It is, however, a real pleasure to see him do the right thing for a change.

I even felt obliged to send him my thanks. Doubt that it will evolve into a vote, but …

What will drive the moonbats crazy is those of us on the right who actually do thank Rep. Baird for sticking to his principles. Nothing worse than a ‘righty’ congratulating a ‘lefty’ on a job well done:):):)

moveon.org is so bad that it is hard to express it. We may have “1st ammendment freedoms” but they violate them. Going after a sitting congressman with a reasoned position on the war is just the tip of the iceberg. There must be something about their funding that could be used to shut them up.

Let’s not forget Jon Cary showed his support for the troops yesterday with a “nay” vote. Traitor!

Right on franksalterego.John Kerry dropped the lawsuit against The Swiftboaters after he said he wouldn’t. Funny thing about going to court,you have to deal with facts as opposed to he said ,she said.

My two-bits... Some Democrats have compared the MoveOn.org ad to the Swift Boat Veterans' criticism of John Kerry. Completely forgetting, John Kerry IS a Swift Boat Veteran. Who is better qualified to criticise, than those he served with? And, what qualifies MoveOn.org to criticise Petraeus? The comparison is ludicrous.

MoveOn: “We Bought” the Democratic Party
By Ben Johnson
FrontPageMagazine.com | Friday, December 10, 2004

A standard “action alert” has provided a rare glimpse inside the mind of the Shadow Party.

In a December 9th e-mail signed by “Eli Pariser, Justin Ruben, and the whole MoveOn PAC team,” the Soros front group stated: “In the last year, grassroots contributors like us gave more than $300 million to the Kerry campaign and the DNC, and proved that the Party doesn’t need corporate cash to be competitive. Now it’s our Party: we bought it, we own it, and we’re going to take it back.”

To clarify, the hysterical Left believes not only that America’s oldest political party is for sale, but that George Soros has already made the down payment.

Anti war ads are not a cancer.

Except for when you defame and insult an American military general which provides “comfort and aid” to our enemies and classifies as that silly little “treason” thing! I know, I know – that’s so passé and neocon of me!

Political debate is not a disease.

Agreed! Yay, bi-partisanship! Is someone arguing that it IS a disease? Would you care to point that out? Other than, of course, the ~~insane political leftist groups~~ great American political groups Michelle has listed above who seem to think that disagreeing with them IS a disease?

Moveon.org does not own the Democratic party or vice versa.

And thank God they don’t! They do, however, own a number of leftist (including some presidential candidates!) and they (Moveon) viciously attack anyone who disagrees with them – Mr. Baird for example! How dare he not tow the political anti-war rhetoric cable! Gosh!

Also, from another post:

“I can always get another job. I can’t get another country.”

That is an AMAZING and humbling quote. Just… Wow. And that right there is what it’s all about.

It might be more helpful to think of the Ww/oW types as a cult than a political movement. They’re not really capable of evangelicizing so much as they focus on whipping up their existing membership into a funds-giving frenzy. A key part of that movement is preventing your current members from “defection” from the group norms and the group identity. Baird must be punished, far far worse than a neocon chickenhawk, because he has seen their light and known their truth and after all that, he has chosen to reject it in favor of objective reality.

Pragmatically, like Lieberman and Harman before him, Baird can find out that every congressional district in America has more *sane* people in the middle than far-left crazies. His flip-flop on the war will essentially make him bulletproof from left or right next year.

God bless America. The system works – and highlights the vindictive vitriol that exemplifies the left.

I have a question. There are many milblogs that support the mission in Iraq. Sites like Blackfive, etc.

Are there any sites where active duty troops (i.e. the real boots on the ground) disagree with the war? I have not come across any, perhaps I’m looking at the wrong place?

I imagine that most of the criticism he is getting are from people who have NOT visited the troops. It boggles the mind how these people can even have an opinion about his position. I have an opinion based on what he did and I emailed him and thanked him.

As for my position on the war, it is based on the word I get from the men and women on the ground (not polls like our liberal friends) and all I get is favorable so, I have a favorable opinion of the war.

For our liberal friends out there here is a clue. If the Rainbow/Push Coalition is in favor of something, you should distance yourself from it.

GOD Bless our troops and President!

“Win Without War”?

Are these people serious? Do they not know the only way to “win” without war is to become part of the caliphate?
