That’s being a hypocrite.

They call themselves Democrat, but they have not accepted the edicts of democracy since the year 2000. Their goal is to win at any cost, even if it takes fighting every democratic decision by the majority.

That is not being democratic; that’s being a hypocrite.

If they lose, they fight the elected official in a way that subverts or defaces the official or even democracy if necessary. They offer every excuse to not follow the path, to smear and slime the democratically elected President, a man who pursues democracy in an attempt to free us from nuclear fear.

That is not being democratic; that’s being a hypocrite.

No democratic country has ever attacked another. Think about that . . . And while you are at it think about the lesson of Japan. Yes, we occupied that nation after Hiroshima but there was no need. They would have done anything we said to avoid another bomb, even if is took coercion with their own standing army, a fanatical kamikaze military.

Look at Japan now; they have their freedom, they are prosperous and there is no inference in their affairs. Is that “imperialism” as “Democrats claim?

That is not being democratic – that’s being a hypocrite

Iraqis and Afghanis are our friends as well. Only a fraction is religious extremist and radicals are quietly being rejected by newly born Iraqi democrats who, in spite of threats, bravely show their purple fingers and thumbs at the polls.

It also takes brave elected men and woman who follow the rule of law under constant threat of assassination, soldiers, the police and first responders who directly confront this evil. It will take a few election cycles to get the better leaders, although it seems with Maliki, they have done well for themselves. One thing we do know – no man rises by the gun in democracy. And we fear no democracy no matter how they are armed.

Hypocrisy is rationalizing that says even though while proudly calling themselves “democrat,” they contend that Arabs do not deserve freedom. They try to sell us they are better of with tyranny. They contend George Bush is a fool trying to free the world. But is it not the noblest goal of all – especially if it brings peace and security?

That is not being democratic; that’s being a hypocrite.

America has brought sixty million people their freedom with democracy in the Middle East. Today they have a constitution, representation and the rule of law, remarkable in just five years. But Democrats have fought freedom the whole way. How much more could we have done with unity? But if you call them on it they would say they voted for it. They were for it before they were against it.

That is not being democratic; that’s being a hypocrite.

As nuclear proliferation rolls out, it is dictators we fear with these awesome weapons, not democrats. Many of us are in denial, but nukes in the hands religious fanatics are untenable. Small watercraft is capable of carrying Hiroshima sized bombs, easily disguised and nearly impossible to defend against perfectly. Run it aground and pull the trigger. Every single beach is a highly populated target. One mistake by the Coast Guard and it is over.

The destruction caused by atomic weapons is intolerable beyond what most understand. If just one is detonated, even at sea, panic will ensue; the terrorists will have gained credibility. And there is no return address. There will be great fear as the coercive power of that situation would inevitability be fatal. Face it, we cannot kill every terrorist. Yet democrats argue against democracy, the one thing that can eliminate nuclear fear.

That not being democratic – that’s being a hypocrite. And some may argue it is heracy.
