In the shortest, most concise, most clear form I’ve seen, Powerline succinctly states how the Democrats feel about national security:

Let’s look at where liberal Democrats stand on national security. They oppose military action against hostile nations like North Korea when they are in the process of developing nuclear weapons; they oppose systems that might defend us from nuclear weapons after these hostile nation develop them; they oppose any serious effort to secure our border from terrorist infiltration and would condition even a relatively unserious effort on the granting amnesty for millions of illegals; they oppose obtaining information from terrorists through interrogation techniques that stop short of inflicting physical pain; and they even have reservations about surveillance techniques that enable us to listen-in on terrorists.

There you have it in a nutshell, folks. But of course, if Kerry were president the Middle East would be full of rabbits and sunshine right now. And global warming would just miraculously go away, all of the sudden not such a great crisis. And Elvis would be back to life, and Tupac would’ve been sighted.

But what do I know, I’m just part of the vast right wing conspiracy. A conspiracy which involves evil things such as deposing dictators, tax cuts for all, free trade, and *gasp* enforcing immigration laws.
