The Traitorous Left

As Easter draws near we are treated with an unusual circumstance: Snow covered hills and fields as most of the North East is treated to a dash of snow this weekend. It conjures up a retake of that old song, "I'm Dreaming of a White Easter..."

It seems, however, that snow is not the only unusual circumstance we are dealing with. The current crisis we are engaged in is the traitorous visit by Nancy Pelosi to Syria where she met with Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad. President Bush warned Pelosi not to make the trip, but after all, she IS the first woman Speaker of the House, so naturally she ignored the President's order and went anyway.

Pelosi met briefly with Israel's top leaders and then announced to the press afterwards that she had delivered a message to Syria from Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert that “Israel was ready to engage in peace talks” with Syria. She also gleefully reported that Assad was ready to “resume the peace process” as well.

Unfortunately, Pelosi bungled the message in typical liberal fashion: Israel was NOT ready to engage in peace talks of any kind. What's more, she assumed that Syria's "message of reconciliation," was more than their usual propaganda.

While there, Nancy Pelosi also brilliantly showed off how free American women are as she wrapped her head in a scarf as she walked the streets of Damascus. Clearly, Speaker of the House Pelosi had no business meeting with Syria, and is obviously not capable of relaying a simple message.

But aside from all of Pelosi's gaffes and shortcomings, a darker conclusion is left to be made. The US had cut off all diplomatic ties with Syria in an attempt to pressure them to crack down on the Al-Qaeda groups in their country, and also on Bin Laden who is believed to be hiding there, or Pakistan. Pelosi, without any authority broke this standoff and ruined more than two years of pressure by the US. She undermined the President's strategy and in the process made the situation worse than before.

Syria may now assume that if the Speaker of the House was willing to come to their country, in an airplane with the seal of the US, and joyfully talk with them, then they will have no worries if they don't crack down on terror. Heck, the dictator of Syria is openly supports the trafficking of arms and weapons through his country to be used by Hamas or other terror organizations, why would he think that he should quit his actions?

Meanwhile back at home, Pelosi passed her bill that gives a pullout date in Iraq to our enemies, and bribed her fellow Democrats to vote for it by including billions of dollars for peanut storage and the protection of crickets. This Madame Speaker has fluently demonstrated that she cares nothing about our mission, and everything about her personal appearance and the continuance of power in congress by the liberal Democrats.

She is a disgrace.

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.

For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

The traitor is the plague.”
