"PRETEND TO CHANGE" IS DEMOCRATS NEW WAR CRY

CAN DEMS CHANGE, REALLY CHANGE? Not a chance Donna Brazile's editorial in the 5/21 Wall Street journal crying for Democrats to become what their fathers were, a party that put the security of the U.S. first, is hypocrisy at it's best. What she really means is that the Democratic Party needs to PRETEND to put the security of the country first.

Brazile's record on the subject including her support for Jessie Jackson, her Sharpton like accusations that the senior Bush had an extra-marital affair (Dukakis fired her for that), her racist attacks on both J.C. Watts and Colin Powell (before Harry Belafonte) , her depiction of the current president as "a White Cracker" at the Democratic Convention, her declaration that "The emerging constituencies are environmentalists, gays and lesbians, and those with physical disabilities.", her alliance with The Congressional Black Caucus that has opposed each and every defense appropriation since time began, and I could go on but you get my drift.

The Democratic Party is the Entitlement Party and as such MUST oppose all defense spending, wars, and everything military. They see military spending as money that is taken away from their entitlements bonanza: hand outs, government work, medical care, free this and free that, etc. They oppose intervention in the Mugabe starvation campaign in Zimbabwe, the slave trade in the Sudan, and anything to do with Israel. The drug like dependence on hand outs of their voting constituencies mean they MUST oppose defense and just hope the UN will take care of everything.

Unless and until Blacks in the Democratic Party wake up to concerns past themselves nobody is going to believe they really care. And really caring about National Security is what counts. What they really care about right now is obvious
