In contrast, with the exception of Joe Lieberman and a few others, when it comes to recognizing the threats we face and taking appropriate action, Democrats are in a state of denial. As outlined in an Oct. 31 NewsMax story, Democrats have sought to kill the USA Patriot Act, which FBI agents and CIA officers consider their single most important tool for hunting down terrorists and preventing another 9/11 attack.

Two boys in Boston were playing baseball when one of them was attacked by a rabid Rottweiler. Thinking quickly, the other boy ripped a board off of a nearby fence, wedged it into the dog's collar and twisted it, breaking the dog's neck.

A newspaper reporter from the Boston Herald witnessed the incident and rushed over to interview the boy. The reporter began entering data into his laptop, beginning with the headline:" Brave Young Red Sox Fan Saves Friend from Jaws of Vicious Animal."

"But I'm not a Red Sox fan," the little hero interjected.

"Sorry" replied the reporter. "But since we're in Boston, Mass, I just assumed you were." Hitting the delete key, the reporter began: "John Kerry Fan Rescues Friend from Horrific Dog Attack."

"But I'm not a Kerry fan either," the boy responded.

The reporter said, "I assumed everybody in this state was either for the Red Sox or Kerry or Kennedy.
What team or person do you like?"

"I'm a Texas Ranger fan and I really like George W. Bush," the boy said.

Hitting the delete key, the reporter began again:
"Arrogant Little Conservative Bastard Kills Beloved Family Pet."

“Here’s the Merriam-Webster Unabridged entry for ‘Botch’:... To make a mess of through clumsiness, stupidity, or lack of ability : foul up hopelessly : BUNGLE, SPOIL, RUIN. Who uses the word ‘botched’ in regular conversation, anyway? Kerry, probably: ‘Theresa, m’dear, please sack the butler. He appears to have botched the martinis again.’ Kerry’s statement, and his refusal to admit he had said anything wrong, was so astonishingly... John Kerry, that even the Popular Press had trouble pretending the GOP was overreacting. Not Kerry, though. His tortured non-apology was issued as a printed statement, instead of him saying it in front of reporters: ‘I sincerely regret that my words were misinterpreted to wrongly imply anything negative about those in uniform...’ Which is perilously close to a botched apology because a close reading shows Kerry regrets the misinterpretation of his words... as opposed to apologizing for his actual words which he actually spoke... Kerry’s botched joke is likely to trigger in heartland Republicans and Democrats a sense that the elitist Liberals of the Northeast and California coasts are still, at their core, anti-military and soft on national security issues... As I have told you before, there is a strong feeling among Americans who do not live on the Upper East Side of Manhattan that the National Democrats have a powerful Peacenik gene which... remains as a central element of their DNA.”
