It is amazing, considering the indication that there was a deliberate attempt to dismantle them. Did you read the latest Ann Coulter?

--

The New York Times has tried to put a happy face on the sudden resurgence of military men -- both of which are deeply detested at the Times -- by recasting support for the military as a general enthusiasm for all federal government programs. "Here was a Republican president," the Times insanely exulted, "repeatedly extolling the crucial role of the federal government in providing for the safety of the American people."

If you support the Marines, then how in God's name can you oppose taxpayer funded photos of bullwhips up men's anuses? At least I think that's the logic.

In fact, the only federal government programs conservatives ever liked are precisely the only ones we need now. Do you imagine it was a Republican or Democrat who once vowed he would "totally dismantle every intelligence agency in this country by piece, nail by nail, brick by brick"?

The surprising answer is: a Democrat (!) -- Ron Dellums, D-Calif. Soon after the pot-smoking, draft-dodging Clinton (also a Democrat) became president, the House Democratic Caucus elected Dellums chairman of the House Armed Services Committee. The vote was 198-10. The New York Times took the occasion to shower Dellums with praise.
