LETTER: Democrats against war are hypocrites

To all the Democrats in the Des Moines area: Shame on you. You are all hypocrites. I guarantee you that if Bill Clinton or Al Gore was in charge right now, and they pushed for war for humanitarian reasons such as President George W. Bush has, you would all be cheering, supporting them and wishing our troops well. Instead, you are degrading the face of this great nation.

During the Clinton administration, did anyone complain when we invaded Haiti and Bosnia? I don’t think so.

Did any one complain when he consistently bombed Iraq and Sudan and other targets in order to get the cameras out of his private life? I don’t think so.

I served proudly in the United States Navy during Operation Desert Storm, our time in Somalia, Clinton’s invasion of Haiti and Bosnia. You are all living a double standard when it is OK for a liberal to attack another country, but someone of high moral standards like President Bush is shunned for his actions.

I really don’t care what France, Germany and Russia think of us, because we saved their butts multiple times during war and also financially. France should be happy to help us since they owe us from World War I, World War II and Vietnam. They are a bunch of hypocrites just like you Democrats.

I guess once a liberal, always a liberal, living lives of double standards. So here is a toast to all you hypocrites that believe in double standards, immoral lives and stupidity.

Get a grip. Join us good conservatives in supporting our great president and our troops over seas.
