It's also interesting the way so many acknowledge how easily duped their Democrat brothers and sisters were. Makes you wonder what they heck they do on the intelligence committee and so forth. Poor helpless easily fooled children, being manipulated by that President most think of as dumb. I enjoyed this email from one of the bloggers. Speaks to the heart of quite a few posters here. _________________________________________________________ Instapundit - Reader Kathleen Boerger emails: "Could you do me a favor and define 'patriotism' please?" I think it starts with not uttering falsehoods that damage the country in time of war, simply because your donor base wants to hear them. Patriotic people could -- and did -- oppose the war. But so did a lot of scoundrels. And some who supported the war were not patriotic, if they did it out of opportunism or political calculation rather than honest belief. Those who are now trying to recast their prior positions through dishonest rewriting of history are not patriotic now, nor were they when they supported the war, if they did so then out of opportunism --which today's revisionist history suggests. Judging from the lefty hatemail this post has created, I have to observe that it's odd -- people who have spent the past year saying that Bush took us to war to enrich Halliburton somehow now think it's beyond the bounds of civilized discussion to question people's motives on the war. That's part of the big lie, too.

The Bush administration has done nothing but lie about Iraq. The latest lie is to blame everyone else ---- mommy, he said the same thing! ----- in order to spread out the blame. It's juvenile and embarrassing. Note to George: BE A MAN! Take responsibility for something in your life and stop blaming John Kerry ----- yes, unbelievably he's bringing up John Kerry a year after the elections. OMG. Actually those rich democrats are working against their narrow financial interests by supporting democrats. 'Those' people would be Republicans who fight tooth and nail to tranfer wealth from those who have less to those who have more. It's like dumping all the fertilizer onto the same green field and thinking that maybe somehow, some way some of it will make its way to all the other brown fields. Then again these are the people who lazily believe in ID so it's no wonder that Republican economics are thoroughly ridiculous.
