It has been said that in the house that is America, the biggest room is the room for improvement. That critique comes not from those who hate America, but from those who love America, and it comes regardless of which political party is in power.
We need liberal Democrats and conservative Republicans to bring their best ideas for solutions to the problems America faces to a fair and balanced debate. That debate has been everything but fair and balanced since the beginning of the Iraq war.
The venomous rhetoric from the Democratic leadership in Washington has swollen the flow of public discourse at home and abroad with distrust and hate overflowing the bridge Democrats and Republicans must traverse in order to do America’s business in Washington and abroad.
When one accuses the commander-in-chief and military of the many horrible things that the Democratic leadership has since the beginning of the Iraq war, at a time of great peril for our military personnel around the world, then he or she must have proof to back up those charges. Democrats running for office say that they want to restore America’s image around the world. It seems to me that if they are serious, that restoration should begin in the Democratic Party.
Am I accusing the Democratic leadership of being unpatriotic? No, I am accusing them of poor judgment.
