Marxist-Americans in Senate Are Revolting

Thirteen senators performed their toilets on the Senate floor yesterday and the day before. The issue was the confirmation of Dr. Condoleeza Rice as Secretary of State. During the "debate" held the day before the confirmation vote, many other Marxist-American senators expressed their droppings.

Years ago, Al Capp, the creator of L'il' Abner cartoons, published a story set in the Sunday paper during the late 1960s or in the 1970s. The only frame I recall is the one where dirty, long-haired, beaded, body-pierced, sign-carrying and screaming hippies were running down the street en masse. When asked what they were doing by a passerby, one said, "We are revolting." The passerby said, "You certainly are."

What we witnessed from the main ballast of Democrats in the Senate regarding the hearing, floor debate, and confirmation vote for Dr. Rice showed that the Democrats have earned this highly appropriate label of being "revolting."

Except for Jeffords whose only streak of independence is being labelled "independent," meaning belonging to no political party, all of these senators belong to the Democrat Party. The only surprise in their number is Evan Bayh, whom I used to think was a rare American among Democrats like Joe Lieberman.

To make the contrast greater, Dr. Rice spoke to the assembled throng inside the State Department building this morning. What came across was a lady of great depth and character, speaking with great strength. Those of us watching remarked almost simultaneously of being reminded of Margaret Thatcher. None of us had seen a woman of such greatness since her.

By comparison, the Marxist-American Democrat senators who figuratively flashed in public looked even cheaper, smaller, and less significant than any time previously. These are very small men with the exception of Sen Boxer, who is a very small woman in terms of intellect and character. It would be utterly wonderful to wake up to headlines that aliens had abducted these Marxist-Americans overnight and taken them to a galaxy far, far away. Obviously these people learned nothing from the election and seem incapable of profiting from experience.

Meanwhile, America has a towering principal taking over the State Department. The contrast with Colin Powell could not be greater or better.

I love the fact that Dr. Rice is a woman, and a woman of enormous accomplishment. I also love the fact that Dr. Rice is black. She is the second black American appointed, in sequence, to head the State Department. Other blacks in America have been watching what Democrats have been doing to this woman, and they are seeing Republicans promoting highly qualified blacks, women, and people of sundry races of both genders to very high positions, unlike Democrats who just try to tear down anyone who is not one of "their _____." (you fill in the racial or gender blank.)

Silent are NOW, the NAACP, and all sorts of the usual anti-this-and-that caterwaulers. Blacks who recognize this woman's qualities are speaking up, but they are not being heard by the crowd who wants more of John Kerry, Howard Dean, Teddy Kennedy, and of course, Barbara Boxer, et al.

We are watching a sea change in American political power.
