Of Lice and Men

On Monday, September 10, 2007, the Democrats in the United States House of Representatives reached a new depth of depravity. Their Chairman of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, Representative Lantos (D, CA), told the nation that General David Petraeus, seated before him, came to lie to the nation about Iraq.

Ordinary Americans have come to expect little from this body of minuscule life forms. They are infectious, parasitic insects, dependent on mankind for their survival. But unlike lice, these loathsome creatures only attack our nations’ best and bravest.

Representative Lantos’ opening statement was so despicable that his staff closed his Website. They crawled into a dank hole and hide from America. In fairness, they practice what they preach—they cut-and-run in the face of adversity.

General Petraeus is a soldier. His presence in the chamber dwarfed this body of Lilliputians. He came as an American, and sat silent and taciturn, as was his duty. He never signaled his personal feelings when Representatives Lantos and Drexel (D, PA) spewed their anti-victory venom.

The General’s strength of character and resolve must have made every family, with a son or daughter stationed in the Iraqi theater, proud. He cares about his mission and his troops. His sense of honor was as apparent as his appraisal of the situation was forthright.

He left no doubt that he would not waste a life, or dishonor the valor of those who have died in the defense of this nation, if he thought the goal was untenable. His assessment and perseverance should have been a warning to the terrorists and had them cowering in rat holes.

Tragically, this national opportunity to cement our solidarity and resolve to defeat the terrorists was missed. In front of the world, the Democrats split with America and sided with al Qaeda, Syria and Iran. This grotesque display of betrayal was an outrage; and an unforgivable blemish on America.

Terrorists, worldwide, must have been thrilled and bolstered by their support. How many additional graves will be dug to bury innocent civilians, our allies and our troops because of their betrayal? The number is countless.

The congressional Democrats unholy union with the terrorists was only overshadowed by the treachery of Senators Clinton, Obama, Edwards, Dodd, Biden and Representative Kucinich.

These Democratic presidential candidates refused to condemn the blasphemy of George Soros’ proxy, moveon.org. Each candidate, individually, refused to condemn the ad placed in the New York Times by this vermin—an ad equating General Petraeus with Benedict Arnold.

Any American with a shred of pride in our nation should take the patriotism of these political lice at face value. They are an ethically bankrupt gang of collaborators. Not one placed the nation’s security above their political ambitions. Not one is worth the sweat of an American GI.
