In case it slipped by you, the Democrats have shown whose side they are on by embracing opportunities to meet with Syria and other terrorist states while soundly rejecting opportunities to meet with President Bush to discuss how to support our troops.  See Chronicle.

It was once said:

"A nation can survive its fools and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and he carries his banners openly against the city. But the traitor moves among those within the gates freely, his sly whispers rustling through all alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears no traitor; he speaks in the accents familiar to his victim, and he wears their face and their garments and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation; he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city; he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared. The traitor is the plague." - Marcus Tullius Cicero, Roman Orator - 106-43 B.C.

Teddy Roosevelt said, “The pacifist is as surely a traitor to his country and to humanity as is the most brutal wrongdoer”.

Nancy Pelosi and her ilk who have embraced the enemy in the guise of loving their country have forgotten that leadership in time of peril needs inspiration and perspiration in the fight for what is right. Perhaps they need to take the queue from past leaders and thinkers.

"These are the times that try men's souls: The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it Now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict the more glorious the triumph." - Thomas Paine, The Crisis - December, 1776

"War is an ugly thing but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing he cares about more than his personal safety; is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. " - John Stuart Mill, English philosopher

"We shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills: we shall never surrender" - Winston Churchill, British Prime Minister - speech in the House of Commons, 4 June 1940

I am sure that we all feel the same way today that Ike did 63 years ago when he spoke of the capabilities of our troops and the righteousness of our cause when he said:  “I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty and skill in battle. We will accept nothing less than full victory!" - Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower - June 6, 1944

The saddest part of this story is that the first infidels to face the ax will be the very constituency Pelosi represents. Do they really think our enemies will tolerate liberalism for a moment if we lose?
