Well, I am sorry about that. This is an issue that is striking a little close to the heart, though. There is a pervasive dishonesty that has crept into this issue where we have people actively crippling American war efforts for short-term partisan advantage - and a bunch of very bright people on the list who buy that wholesale. There is something rotten in the state of the Democratic party leadership, you might say, and the least I expect from people here is to call it.
What's rotten is the Bush administration, from the 500 B deficit and the unashamed favoritism towards the well to do, to the secret military tribunals and prisoners held without being charged, to severely mismanaged foreign policy and an unnecessary war stirred up by a collection of half truths and intentionally misleading propaganda.
When someone starts calling people unpatriotic because they don't go along with official policy, that throws up a red flag for me: they are in the wrong and they are trying to hide the fact they are in the wrong by discouraging dialog on the subject.
