Goverments most solemn responsibility is to protect American citizens from enemies foreign and domestic. The War on Terror and national security will once again be key campaign issues in the 2008 presidential race.  Americans must ask themselves who will better protect our great nation from Islamic Jihadists.

The Republican party has a long history of strongly supporting our military, defending our country, and protecting our interests and allies abroad.  The Democrats led by communist front runner Hillary Clinton have a long held disdain for our military and are weak on national security.  Let us examine the Democrats shameful recent history on national security.

• When Hillary Clinton was "Co-President" as she liked to call herself, our military strength was cut to dangerously low levels, new weapons programs were canceled, bases were closed, and our intelligence services were dismantled.  During the Clinton years America suffered a humiliating retreat form Somalia and America was attacked by terrorists six times.  The Clintons did not respond with military force to any of these attacks which embolden terrorists to attack us on 9/11.
• Democrats never give our military credit for successes in Iraq and Afghanistan.
• Senate Leader Harry Reid declared the Iraq War was lost many months ago.
• Congressman John Murtha accuses our Marines of committing cold blooded murder, Democrat Dick Durbin has slandered our military as thugs and murderers worse than Pol Pot, the Soviets, and the Nazis; Senator John Kerry accused our troops in Iraq of terrorizing women and children, and Democrat presidential candidate Barak Hussein Obama accused our airmen of air raiding villages and killing innocent civilians.
• Democrats and their friends in the media routinely invent bogus scandals to discredit our military.
• Military commanders are insulted, called liars, and labeled as fools.
• Democrats lobby to provide Constitutional protections to terrorists and aggressively attempt to dismantle the Patriot Act.
• Democrats have called for the release of terrorists from Guantanamo Bay Prison and demand that Gitmo be shut down.
• Abu Ghraib, a minor incident, is politicized to discredit and undermine our entire armed forces and our President.
• Classified information is routinely leaked to the media.
• Democrats obstruct crucial programs such as the terrorist surveillance program which they labeled as eavesdropping on Americans.
• House Leader Nancy Pelosi traveled to Syria to meet with our enemy who is responsible for deaths of US soldiers in Iraq.
• Democrats want to cut and run from the terrorists in Iraq, and have attempted to shut of funding for the Iraq War. 
• Former Presidents Carter and Clinton travel abroad and trash the United States.

 

If this is not bad enough, this week liberal Democrats have sunk to new levels of treason.  Democrats in the Senate are pushing for a resolution to denounce Turkey for a 100 year old genocide incident.  Thats right, an incident that occurred 100 years ago.  Why are Democrats doing this now?  Because Turkey in an ally in the Iraq War, allowing overflights of troops and supplies to the theater.

With Republicans in the White House we can be assured that we will remain the worlds superpower.  If Hillary Clinton or any other Democrat wins the White House, God help our country.
