Unseriousness Nation

You can't help but conclude, if you're paying attention to the news from Washington D.C. lately, that we are now governed by the un-serious. Cases in point:

1. The Democrats in both bodies of Congress have passed, with the slimmest of majorities, bills effectively surrendering in the War in Iraq. They can dress it up in whatever language they want, but when you publicly state your purpose to withdraw from a declared war without obtaining victory, then you are surrendering. Disgraceful.

2. The frenzy over the non-scandal of the Justice Department's firing of the 8 U.S. Attorneys. If Republicans cannot defend themselves in this nonsensical matter, then they are completely incapable of governing. The President, and his Attorney General, are entitled by policy to replace these attorneys at any time for any reason. Why can't they defend that, in the face of a full on attack from a partisan Democrat Congress? Why can't they make the case? Clearly, if Attorney General Gonzales is brought down by the Democrats over this non-scandal, President Bush's effectiveness as a leader is over.

3. Iran's aggression in the capturing of 15 British soldiers, and the violating of every international law in parading them on TV, has been met with weak-spined un-seriousness. Other than the U.S. Government, principally in the form of George W. Bush, the Western nations have said virtually nothing. Nancy Pelosi, on behalf of the Democrat majority in Congress, refused to even allow a vote on expressing condemnation of the Iraninan act of terrorism. Disgraceful.

Folks, there are people out there who are serious about the business of harming us in the West. They are training and preparing and organizing to kill us. It will take serious, vigilant, resistance on behalf of our leadership to combat that. Unfortunately, we are now lead by un-serious pacifists who are engaged in the purposeful destruction of their only perceived enemy, President Bush. We are in deep trouble.
