Was there a better picture this week than the one of feminist Nancy Pelosi donning a headdress (or what could be considered a form of burka) in between smiling and exchanging pleasantries with one of our top enemies? What she’s been doing, notably conducting a shadow foreign policy and undermining the president and the State Dept., could easily be considered treasonous. There’s a reason we don’t talk to these people! She’s over there insinuating that we (specifically the Bush administration) are at fault for lacking the “courage” to open a dialogue with a state like Syria. Once again, liberals have shown that they carry more reverence for our enemies - states that oppress their own people, threaten our own security and that of other states, and support terrorism – than they do for their own freedom-loving country. Apparently supporting those diametrically opposed to freedom is fine as long as they’re undermining the Bush administration. Pelosi, her entourage (which includes a couple of Republicans) and Jimmy Carter apparently cannot grasp the reasons for which we do not openly speak to, negotiate with, or legitimize governments such as Bashar al Assad’s Syria. They are on enemy soil not implying, but overtly stating that the U.S. is at fault for not opening a “dialogue.”
But to say that Ms. Pelosi’s actions are treasonous may be to overestimate her understanding of what she’s actually doing. She apparently thinks, in her own naïve little way, that undermining the president and conducting some kind of good will tour with our enemies, will both elevate her at home and fix what she sees is the damage to our reputation wrought by the current administration. She probably feels very big pointing that finger inward, implying that if we only had the courage to “open a dialogue”, we could start solving the problems of the middle east. Her actions go beyond liberal apologist, or even Blame America First thinking. I’ve seen people like her before. The place was high school. This is what we get when we elect people with a high school mentality to high levels of public office. I hereby propose changing the name of the Democrat Party to The High School Party.
