Democrats Ever Shifting Priorities

Democrats have a shockingly ever shifting set of priorities. They know that they can change the definition of words if it is beneficial to them. Heaven knows the lame stream media will never call them on it. Well if Bill Clinton can question the meaning of the word "is" then more complicated concepts like patriotism or experience can certainly have murky meanings.

When a Democrat presidential candidate has served in the United States military it is important and when he has not it is of no importance. Bill Clinton was an actual "draft dodger" but he was the Democrats presidential candidate so military service suddenly had nothing to to with being Americas Commander in Chief. Clinton ran against two true military heroes. George H W Bush and Bob Dole. Then when John Kerry was the candidate his four MONTHS in Viet Nam was essential experience for anyone who would dare to be our President and the two years George W. Bush spent in the Texas Air National Guard was worthless.

Apparently it was acceptable for Mr. Obama to list the groups and individuals he claims are telling lies about his alleged health care plan. It is apparently also fine for him to threaten opponents by promising to "call them out". It seems to be okay for the head of his party, Howard Dean, to say that Americans who disagree with Obama are "trying to bring down the country" tho to Dean's credit he later claimed he never made such a statement, despite the moment being caught on film. It was perfectly acceptable for Speaker of the Democrat run House to mention swastikas when describing the Americans attending town hall meetings. Also, any American who dares to disagree with any policy of the Obama administration can be called a racist.

One of the chief arguments against electing George W Bush was his lack of "experience" despite him being in his second term as governor of Texas. First he ran against a life time politician who had never authored a significant piece of legislation and who had been less than influential as Vice-President. Then he defeated another life time politician who had never authored a significant piece of legislation and who had been known to usually be more interested in leaving the Senate early than on what was going on there. Apparently Kerry was happy to rest in the shade of Sen Kennedy's plus-size shadow.

Despite Obama's total lack of executive experience and military experience his ability to be President of the United States of America was never questioned. Governor Palin's ability to be Vice-president however was debated endlessly. Personally I'd rather see Floyd the barber in line to replace the President ahead of Joe Biden. Biden's secret service code name is rumored to be "assassination insurance".

Well, we get the government we deserve...heaven help us!
