The Democratic Party: A Vast Sleeper Cell

Printer Friendly

By: Ann Coulter

Fortunately for liberals, the Iraqis executed Saddam Hussein the exact same week that former President Ford died, so it didn't seem strange that Nancy Pelosi's flag was at half-staff. Also, Saddam's death made it less of a snub when Harry Reid skipped Ford's funeral.

The passing of Gerald Ford should remind Americans that Democrats are always lying in wait, ready to force a humiliating defeat on America.

More troops, fewer troops, different troops, "redeployment" — all the Democrats' peculiar little talking points are just a way of sounding busy. Who are they kidding? Democrats want to cut and run as fast as possible from Iraq, betraying the Iraqis who supported us and rewarding our enemies — exactly as they did to the South Vietnamese under Ford.

Liberals spent the Vietnam War rooting for the enemy and clamoring for America's defeat, a tradition they have brought back for the Iraq war.

They insisted on calling the Soviet-backed Vietcong "the National Liberation Front of Vietnam," just as they call Islamic fascists killing Americans in Iraq "insurgents." Ho Chi Minh was hailed as a "Jeffersonian Democrat," just as Michael Moore compares the Islamic fascists in Iraq to the Minute Men.

During the Vietnam War, New York Times scion Arthur "Pinch" Sulzberger told his father that if an American soldier ran into a North Vietnamese soldier, he would prefer for the American to get shot. "It's the other guy's country," he explained.

Now, as publisher of the Times, Pinch does all he can to help the enemy currently shooting at American soldiers.

After a half-dozen years of Democrat presidents creating a looming disaster in Vietnam — with Kennedy ordering the assassination of our own ally in the middle of the war and Johnson ham-handedly choosing bombing targets from the Oval Office — in 1969, Nixon became president and the world was safe again.

Nixon began a phased withdrawal of American ground troops, while protecting the South Vietnamese by increasing the bombings of the North, mining North Vietnamese harbors and attacking North Vietnamese military supplies in Cambodia — all actions hysterically denounced by American liberals, eager for the communists to defeat America.

Despite the massive anti-war protests staged by the Worst Generation, their takeovers of university buildings and their bombings of federal property to protest the bombing of North Vietnamese property, Nixon's Vietnam policy was apparently popular with normal Americans. In 1972, he won re-election against "peace" candidate George McGovern in a 49-state landslide.

In January 1973, the United States signed the Paris Peace accords, which would have ended the war with honor. In order to achieve a ceasefire, Nixon jammed lousy terms down South Vietnam's throat, such as allowing Vietcong troops to remain in the South. But in return, we promised South Vietnam that we would resume bombing missions and provide military aid if the North attacked.

It would have worked, but the Democrats were desperate for America to lose. They invented "Watergate," the corpus delicti of which wouldn't have merited three column-inches during the Clinton years, and hounded Nixon out of office. (How's Sandy Berger weathering that tough wrist-slap?)

Three months after Nixon was gone, we got the Watergate Congress and with it, the new Democratic Party. In lieu of the old Democratic Party, which lost wars out of incompetence and naivete, the new Democratic Party would lose wars on purpose.

Just one month after the Watergate Congress was elected, North Vietnam attacked the South.

Even milquetoast, pro-abortion, detente-loving Gerald R. Ford knew America had to defend South Vietnam or America's word would be worth nothing. As Ford said, "American unwillingness to provide adequate assistance to allies fighting for their lives could seriously affect our credibility throughout the world as an ally." He pleaded repeatedly with the Democratic Congress simply to authorize aid to South Vietnam — no troops, just money.

But the Democrats turned their backs on South Vietnam, betrayed an ally and trashed America's word. Within a month of Ford's last appeal to Congress to help South Vietnam, Saigon fell.

The entire world watched as American personnel desperately scrambled into helicopters from embassy rooftops in Saigon while beating back our own allies, to whom we could offer no means of escape. It was the most demeaning image of America ever witnessed, until Britney Spears came along.

Southeast Asia was promptly consumed in a maelstrom of violence that seems to occur whenever these "Jeffersonian Democrats" come to power. Communist totalitarians swept through Laos, Cambodia and all of Vietnam. They staged gruesome massacres so vast that none other than Sen. George McGovern called for military intervention to stop a "clear case of genocide" in Cambodia.

Five years after that, Islamic lunatics in Iran felt no compunction about storming the embassy of what was once the greatest superpower on Earth and taking American citizens hostage for 14 months. To this day, al-Qaida boosts the flagging morale of its jihadists by reminding them of America's humiliating retreat from Vietnam.

In addition to being wrong about Ford's pardon of Nixon, liberals were wrong about a few other things from that era. Democrats haven't admitted error in rejecting Ford's pleas on behalf of South Vietnam because there are still dangerous foreigners trying to kill Americans. Nixon is safely interred in the ground, but the enemies of America continue to need the Democrats' help.

In Vietnam we were always glad to read about the Fondas and Kerrys and other communists. We did our best and could have won that war if the communists and other worthless idiots had left us alone. I have wondered for years about the fine people I knew while over there. I would have liked to take Jane Fonda and J F***ing Kerry to view some of the sites in that beautiful country. I could have shown them sights that would have made them hate communists, but we all know they would never lower themselves to the truth. It is sad that in this country there are so many that are blind and stupid whenever anything happens that might not fit into their concept of what the world should be. God Bless America.

It is only a matter of time, dear Ann, that we are in “Nam Redux” compliments of the “Self-Fulfilling Prophesy Department of the Democrabic Party.” It is needless to say the Pelosi and her cronies (can we say that now?) will screw the Iraqis, and by extension the US, harder than a low-budget porn movie.

(On the bright side, with the Dem pull-out [poor choice of words] vis-à-vis Iraq, that will free up more money for the NEA so that there will no longer need be any ‘low-budget’ porn movies. Darn it, don’t our children deserve that!)

But two quick things.

I am shocked and appalled that there was no mention of the worst president. I find it unfathomable that we can have any discussion of terrorism, Islamofascism or any of the troubles in the world that have had their genesis in the Mid East without any mention of Carter. He should have been holding hands with Saddam as he was vertical dispatched to meet Allah. Without Carter much of the death and destruction would never had occurred.

Last is the incessant bombardment (ironic, no) by the liberals of the editorial pages of most doorstep delivered fish wrappers. The LSM letters to the editor columns seem to take great joy in providing the views of the addle-brained Birkenstockistas calling for the President’s impeachment, incarceration and so forth. These brilliant scholars cite precedence for their learned legal renderings. The bloviate and pontificate on why Bush is a war criminal with a sense of smug self-righteousness. And without any sense of accuracy.

But, if you want to witness a truly horrific and ear-damaging event, mention the following. Suggest that they do a quick read of the Constitution. Of course they will have Google it to find out what it is then where to find it. (Many real Americans carry a pocket-sized version of that, the Dec Indy and other fine documents on their person.) Refer them to Article III, Section 3. For some odd reason they will not see themselves as possible subjects for having charges of treason proffered against them. No, they see themselves as fine, upstanding Americans in the mold (literally) of Hanoi Jane, John F***ing Kerry and other wonderful citizens.

I so hope to be there for the ribbon cutting of the first gulag when someone gets a pair and starts locking up these enemies of the state.

God Bless, God Speed, God Help us!

It is generally known that the North Vietnamese were hanging on hoping that the "peace movement" would cause the US to fold. In the end they were right.
I figure this lays the one million the NV admit losing, the American casualties, the SV casualties, the one million Cambodian dead, and any Laotian dead at the feet of the "Peace movement" as well as the Democrat Congress that cut off aid.
Does anyone have any idea what the total is?

Ron:

Very good point but one lost on the libs.

There is no correct answer because in the minds of the libs, the good Americans who waged this war are totally responsible for any and all deaths, even those as a direct result of their “well-meaning” but totally misguided actions. The fact that the irresponsible and dare I say treasonous activities of the SDS, Weathermen, YIPPIES, Fonda, Kerry et al predicated not only a prolongation of the hostilities in Nam but caused many more deaths that would otherwise have occurred had they kept their noses out of things is abundantly lost on them.

It is well known and documented that the NVA was ready to fold until Walter Crankcase and others “exposed” the “horrifics” of this “unjust war.” The daily body counts and the still images in the paper only fueled the public’s distaste for war and caused our eventual capitulation.

With today’s instant access to myriad information there is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, you have the embeds “reporting” the diurnal activities of the war zone as they see fit with their puppetmeisters at Black Rock and others controlling the content. On the other, there are opportunities for immediate rebuttal via other sources of information and intelligence. The large problem remains that despite the proliferation of this information on the internet the vast majority of citizens STILL get their news primarily from the LSM!

God Bless and God Speed

Democrats 'invented' Watergate?

I suspect there are many many more invented investigations and abdications of power coming down the pike real soon.

Our military has done more for this world in the last 100 years than any group in the history of the world. It the pussy-liberal socialists who were the hippies and are now the power...the aforementioned "worst generation"...who are truly ruining this world and allowing the United States to be the "paper tiger" our enemies so correctly point us out to be. I can't even fathom the thought-process that allows these devious miscreants who screwed Vietnam...and thusly Cambodia and Laos...who have allowed Africa to be screwed...have allowed countries in Central and South America to be screwed...who embrace Mexico being screwed and thusly screwing us...and now want to ensure that Iraq gets screwed. The ultra-libs who more and more comprise the Democrat party are the best at the lies and the scheming...to a degree that conservatives can't even get a real grip on. Every bit of devious evil and imbecilic behavior that is revealed by the true patriots like Ann Coulter is almost surreal due to the depth of the pure insanity of these people...and now they are back in power and able to completely screw our country by their actions. Until we get some leaders that will espouse true conservatism AND have the balls to stick to it, versus the quivering purse-dogs that seem to comprise the Republican "leadership"...our country is at incredible risk. Iraqis will pay with their lives just like the Vietnamese did in the vacuum left by America's "pull-out"...and so will Americans because our enemies will be empowered to fight the "paper tiger" that is the face of the pussy-liberals. Doom and gloom? Nope...just reality setting in. And when the next attack occurs...those pussy-liberals will quickly blame everyone except the true culprits...themselves.

Kevind,

I saw it, too. I will not defend that statement. What happened to Nixon et al. was justified, from what I can tell. The same should have happened to Clinton, but the gutless wonders in the Senate refused to try him. They turned the whole thing into a spectacle.

By the way, how is Sandy Burger doing after his slap on the wrist?
