Crush Liberalism

Democrats think dissent is no longer patriotic?

Man, I wish these flip-floppers would make up their minds!  From Politico:

Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.), who has had an eventful couple of weeks to say the least, believes House Republican opposition to climate change legislation and the stimulus indicates they’re cheering against the good ol’ US of A.

“It appears that the Republican Party leadership in the Congress has made a decision that they want to deny President Obama success, which means, in my mind, they are rooting against the country, as well,” the powerful House Energy and Commerce Committee chairman told WAMU radio host Diane Rehm on Tuesday morning, promoting his new book, “The Waxman Report.”  (I wonder if his new book sheds any light on how he got those manhole-sized nostrils? – Ed.)

Oh, I get it.  Merely opposing a politician’s ideas or policies constitutes treason?

Well, then, let’s round up all of the Democrats in the House and Senate that served from 2001 through January 2009 and ship them off to the federal pen.  After all, all these cretins did during those years was fight the president, which, by their “logic”, means they were “rooting against the country”.  Sure, they were telling us (or, in the case of the Hilldawg, were shrieking loudly) that they would not allow their disagreements with Bush to be portrayed as unpatriotic.  But apparently, the whole “dissent <> unpatriotic” thingy only applies when the president is a Republican.
