National Unity Dies

John Kerry, and most of the Democratic leadership, don't care about protecting America and western civilization as much as they care about being in power. As we've seen throughout the primary season, they'll say anything - almost always false, and the more outrageous, the better - to garner votes, support, and ultimately victory.

In his firefighters speech (which is at johnkerry.com and deserves to be read in its entirety), Sen. Kerry said: "This administration has put a tax giveaway for the very wealthiest of our nation over making sure that we do all that we can to win the war on terror here at home. . . . America doesn't need leaders who play politics with 9/11 or see the war on terror as just another campaign issue."

As an aside, whenever you see Kerry making an accusation - America doesn't need leaders who play politics with 9/11 or see the war on terror as just another campaign issue - you'll see Kerry taking the lead in doing exactly that.

This is a serious charge. It clearly is accusing George Bush of acting in bad faith every day since the towers fell and an airliner was crashed into the Pentagon. Not everyone needs to love George Bush, but delegitimizing America's 2 1/2-year effort against terrorism is a dangerous game. For my money, the presidential debates can't come fast enough.

Hey, John McCain, who did you say is a "good and decent man?"
