Do you have a constitutional right to encourage and embolden the islamic terrorists who are trying to kill you, kill our soldiers? The leaders of Al Queda have admitted their efforts in Iraq are strictly for political purposes to discourage Americans at home and get them to leave Iraq and Afghanistan. Every time a Democrat complains about Abu Ghraib, Gitmo, surveillance programs, or implies our soldiers are war criminals, that heartens and emboldens the enemy.
I only have to point Sarek to posters on THIS VERY BOARD to prove I am right, where we are told that Bush is the global terrorist, that Bush is the enemy, not the terrorists trying to kill us.
Demorats/non-Democrat-independently-moderate-free-thinkers can attack our soldiers all day long. You can tell the world our president is the enemy and cannot be trusted by the world. But I can certainly question YOUR JUDGMENT, as that is very much in question.
You may like to think you're not on the side of Al Queda, but they take heart from your position. Bush didn't put you on the side of terrorists, you put yourself there as you support them every day. Pretend your words don't make terrorists feel good, pretend all day to yourself! You can't pretend to me that your words and views stay hermetically sealed at the borders of western democracies. Our enemies hear you, and they want to keep killing if it means your side wins. Because that's their side, too.
