As one of my young (almost all of my heroes are now younger than I am) heroes in Talk Radio (other than Sean, Rush , Dennis and Laura) is Hugh Hewitt. A great interviewer, funny, and smart, Hugh has called the vote in the House of Reps today, the 17 White Flag Republicans. He is correct. And he has gone after Rik Keller of Fla. Look, we all know that the Blue states have different mores, agendas and even perceptions of what American heritage, history, values really contain. Foreign policy for the last 60 years has seen the leftist Dems almost without fail, anti-American foreign policy and very anti-military. Nothing has changed. But, the 17 Pubs today, sounded like they were following the Baker Surrender Group and their view that the war is lost and only by ........redeploying.....moving...setting bench marks...et al. We all know, if we follow politics, that in many districts a rep follows the political sway of the most vocal in those communities and in Blue areas with Pub reps, they are forced, they say, to vote ' their conscience' even if it goes against our Commander in Chief and or the Party and or a war or policy that is not over, not finished and with some pain. Pain seems to be the one thing that the 17 dealt with by not rallying for the military. Yet, the military expects pain. It expects losses and yes, the deaths of our heroes have been terrible for the families. Still, the numbers are very very small when compared to other battles, war and campaigns. No one wants to hear about that since Americans usually want all stories done in either a half hour or hour but surely not years. And surely not for a generation. Yet, Islamofascists will be fighting us for a generation. They will take the pain and the losses. They will not just give up if no benchmarks are set. The 17 are awaiting the 2008 elections. They fear the liberals in their districts will not elect them and go with the Dem candidate who will surely be anti-war and anti-military. The Democrat Party wants to hold Congress, win the Presidency and remove the USA from any , any ,military affair that cannot be won with losses. That is silly, inane and unworthy. The 17 Pubs should know that. Perhaps, Hugh is right. Perhaps in all 17 districts, the BASE should rally round the conservative candidate in the upcoming primaries. Sure the Dems could win all 17 races. But, maybe not. Even some Democrats may realize that this war is just one battle in an ongoing war for our American culture, way of life, national security and safety for all those children that the Democrats are always crowing about!!
