progressive cyberdadaism from our nation’s capital
Little LuLu points us to the straight poop on Iraq as told by the truth-tellers at FreeRepublic. This is a real he-man account. Not the candy-assed Frenchified version of events as told by the estrogen-drenched Iraq Study Group.
We have spread democracy in Iraq, much like the French spread brie on their toast and snails. Yes, Sir! We have plastered the f’ing toast with f’ing democracy, Sir! That must hurt Old Europeans like John Fwad Kerry (Citizens Report on Iraq, pp. 72-73):
In the Sixties and Seventies, the anti-American left worked with our communist enemies to bring about the political victory they were unable to win on the battlefield. For example, Democrat Sen. John Kerry, then a reserve Naval officer who had served in Vietnam and Cambodia, met with our communist enemies in Paris in 1970. The next year the testified in uniform before the Senate that we should accept the communists’ terms of surrender, while at the same hearing he vilified American soldiers as war criminals. Col. George ‘Bud’ Day, a prisoner of war being held by the North Vietnamese communists at the time ahs stated that Kerry’s actions lengthened the POW’s captivity by giving the communists hope for a then elusive victory.
Thus, it should be obvious to even the densest of the blame-America firsters, that their so-called “elected representatives” are hoping to undermine our soon-to-be imminent victory in Iraq (which we intend to rename “Valley of the Purple Fingers”), and are doing so just out of a fit of Bush Derangement Syndrome.

And who could be more expert on what the communist leadership was thinking and saying about John Kerry than a prisoner of war? Presumably his cage doubled as their strategic command center.

These people are increasingly sounding, um, unhinged, unconnected to any version of reality.

I agree. I’ve noticed this particularly with the Cornerites, but all of the usual suspects appear to be using rhetoric of the hyperventillating variety.
