"How did it come to pass that an opposition's measure of a president's foreign policy was all or nothing, success or "failure"? The answer is that the political absolutism now normal in Washington arrived at the moment--Nov. 7, 2000--that our politics subordinated even a war against terror to seizing the office of the presidency." - Daniel Henninger - WSJ 11/18/05

With the testimony of General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker behind us, isn’t it time we really began to question and charge that which we have endlessly been accused of claiming? Time to contemplate the “do not question my patriotism” knee jerk response to argument returned in the debate.
The general in command in Iraq returns to a full page ad in The NY Times declaring his dishonesty; if only The Times were that paragon of journalistic integrity that is MSNBC in its refusal to air a Move America Forward advertisement.
The Democratic Majority “reframes the debate” well in advance of the facts and truth, then sticks to those talking points regardless of their blatant and naked partisan hackery.
If at no other time in the past half decade you stopped and thought “no I am not questioning your patriotism,” do not start now.
No sir or madam, I am not questioning your patriotism, it will never be a question I ponder or charge; for I know you are not.
