Democratic Party Insanity

Just what in hell do the Democrats in Congress think they’re doing? These asshats have gone way beyond the pale on this one. They just spent days grilling General Petraeus before confirming him to take command in Iraq. General Petraeus stated flatly that he needed the 21,500 troops promised and time to bring things under control. Democrats agreed and wished him godspeed and good luck. Now they’re going to cut him off at the knees before he even sets foot in Iraq.

Is there any lunacy the Donks won’t participate in? How do they get away with this s**t? Russ Feingold is preparing to get the ball rolling next week to cut off all funds for the troops and the war effort. Do Democrats not know any other military strategy than to turn tail and run? That seems to be what they’re best at lately. Roosevelt and Truman must be rolling over in their graves looking at this duplicitous crowd of hypocritical pissants.

I say we, the people of America, should be looking into how we can impeach Congress - not the President. The partisan cowards in the Senate and the House are laying us wide open for another attack, leaving our borders wide open for terrorists and others to invade and just generally NOT providing for the common good, which is their sole reason for being in Washington. Impeach all 535 of the bastards and let’s start over with a fresh crop. This bunch is starting to really stink up the capitol ...

Feingold Pushes Plan to Cut Off War Funds
_{(POLITICO) - January 26, 2007 07:43 AM EST}

Sen. Russ Feingold, D-Wis., has scheduled a hearing next Tuesday in his Judiciary Committee subcommittee to explore whether Congress has the authority to cut off funding for the U.S. military campaign in Iraq. The move comes as Congress prepares to vote on a congressional resolution opposing President Bush’s escalation of the war.

Feingold, a fierce war critic, will force Democrats to consider an option many consider politically suicidal: denying funds to the military and U.S. soldiers to force a quicker end to the war. Democratic leaders have privately called on members to restrain from cutting off funding and focus on congressional resolutions condemning the Bush policy. The resolutions are nonbinding and therefore symbolic.

Republicans “would like this debate to be as whether or not we are going to be cutting off money for the troops,” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid recently told The Politico. “The logical conclusion is that a lot of things can happen. But right now, the most important thing is to tell the president that what he has done with the escalation is wrong. And that’s what we are doing, bi-partisanly.”

Feingold, who chairs the Subcommittee on the Constitution, will question several witnesses, including a Library of Congress official and legal experts from Harvard, Duke, and the University of Virginia, on the issue. Senior Bush administration officials have publicly argued that Congress has no such right, but Feingold plans to introduce legislation to force President Bush to pull American forces out of the troubled country.

“Congress holds the power of the purse and if the president continues to advance his failed Iraq policy, we have the responsibility to use that power to safely redeploy our troops from Iraq,” Feingold said in a statement released by his office on Thursday. “I will soon be introducing legislation to use the power of the purse to end what is clearly one of the greatest mistakes in the history of the nation’s foreign policy.”

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
