Consistency can be a good thing. The democrats have been amazingly consistent since the 60’s. Unfortunately, for most Americans, democrats have been consistently wrong. The left has been consistently wrong about war, appeasing tyrants and dictators instead of confronting them. The left has been consistently wrong about taxes. In favor of taxing anything that is not nailed down. However, more than anything, liberals have consistently misread and misjudged the American People.

During the 60’s, the left was opposing America’s involvement with Vietnam. Ignoring facts that were as obvious then as they are today, Communism was choking the life out of a country that was in desperate need of our help and on a humanitarian level, we needed to be there. Vietnam was slowly becoming another Stalinist country with none of the freedoms or privileges we demand in our own country. Why was attacking Bosnia in the 90’s acceptable but fighting communism in the 60’s was not? Bosnia was a lesser threat to the U.S. than a Communist Vietnam. The end goal of Bosnia was not to take over the United States unlike the communist movement in Vietnam that was a small part of a larger scheme.

In the 70’s liberals decided the next thing to oppose would be any progress that involved cutting down a tree. It did not matter that logging companies had been replenishing the forests by implementing strict replanting policies. Chaining oneself to a tree became the vogue. At the time of this writing, there are more trees in the United States than at its founding in 1776. If there are more trees now than there were then, why are so many democrats so uptight? After all, thousands of cities have grown from nothing and yet we have more trees. We would not be in nearly as good a shape as we are if nobody cared and nobody was trying.

Throughout the 80’s, the common Democratic theme was that Reagan was wrong. Reagan was wrong in believing in lower taxes even though lower taxes help spur a technology boom that carried on through the 21st Century. Microsoft, Apple, and IBM all started in garages and grew into bigger and better companies thanks in part to a realistic and fair tax code that certainly didn’t start in the Carter Administration. In addition, we were assured that Reagan was an idiot. These Reagan is an idiot updates came via The Media, late night talk shows, and many elected democrats. Regarding the Soviet Union, Reagan was opposed on nearly every issue by pacifist liberals. The left not learning from the experiences of Neville Chamberlain, who failed to see the ever-increasing threat of Nazism, continued to seek appeasement instead of strength.

While controlling the White House for much of the 90’s, liberals avoided discussing the onslaught of terrorist activity against the U.S. by talking about Dotcoms, 30 year olds retiring early, and the sitcom Friends. It is ironic that democrats love to take credit for a booming economy that was built on inflated, hyped-up companies that had no real business plan except that they were Dotcoms. Ignoring over half a dozen attacks against the U.S. including the first attack on the World Trade Center and numerous attacks against U.S. Interests abroad there was no increase in the military budget, no questions about the competence of the CIA or the FBI, and no need to check with the United Nations on any military operations involving foreign countries.

From 2000 to 2006, anti-war protesters, communist dupes, U.N. loving Senators, and Hollywood idiots, also known as, “The Democrat Party” wailed loudly against almost every attempt that the U.S. made to protect itself from Islamic terrorism. Democrats have shown more contempt towards our military than toward Jew-hating, civilian-killing, women-suppressing Islamic terrorists. Democrats didn’t like the Patriot Act, they didn’t like monitoring phone calls originating from outside the U.S. from suspected terrorists, they are against any interrogation techniques that might upset the Muslim community, and yet Democrat Senators have the audacity to ask why we were not better prepared against terrorism. If liberals would treat Islamic nuts as they treat tobacco companies then we might actually be safer against future attacks.
