It's time to take the gloves off, and push back -- hard -- against the dishonest and deranged rhetoric of the left. Thanks to their relentless Bush-bashing and their reckless condemnations of how we are fighting the war, the latest polls say that only about one American in three says the nation is headed in the right direction and only 44% say the president is doing a good job. The hyperlib rhetoric not only flies in the face of the facts -- the economy is booming and the war is being won -- but it has enormously negative effects at home and overseas.
The libs are in the business of giving strength and hope to our enemies and making our allies doubt our intentions. At home, the liberals are fighting to take away the president's powers to fight this new kind of war in innovative ways. Congressional libs -- when they're not thinking wistfully about impeaching the president -- are trying to take away his power to order the NSA, outside the framework of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, to intercept calls and e-mails overseas and domestically. They want to close Gitmo, end the rendition of terrorist suspects to other nations cooperating in the war, and, most of all, they want to cut and run from Iraq. In short, the libs in Congress want to make sure we lose this war. We should not say the libs are unpatriotic. They are so much worse than that. They sound like Ayman al-Zawahiri, bin Laden's #2, whose latest rant demands the president admit defeat in Iraq.
