Democrat Turns Republican

Thought this was interesting. This guy sounds like he's for real. Scott Randolph says that the incessant whining from the Left, especially regarding Cindy Sheehan, has finally brought him from the Dark Side to the Republican Party:

Cindy sealed the deal.

I actually felt myself become a republican today. It was around 10am, when I read the latest update of the Cindy Sheehan saga in CNN.com. I then shot over to read some blogs about it, and perused the comments in some of them, which was nothing but a long series of petty (albeit entertaining) partisan bickering.

Then it happend. The good little democrat in me tied the little noose around his neck and jumped off the stool. He just couldn’t take it anymore.

Take what? The whining. The constant whining by the extreme left about the reasons for war, the incompetence of this administration, and how we’ve all been lied to, and how we should pull out of Iraq immediately, because, *gulp* our soldiers were in danger.

Imagine that, our soldiers in danger during a war. As Scott goes on to say...

Guess what folks….they signed up to join the Army, not the boy scouts. Anytime your orientation to a new job involves an automatic weapon, you should be smart enough to figure out there’s danger involved. I actually read some people’s comments about many of the soldiers over there being naive….they weren’t expecting to go to war, so, they should be allowed to go home. Wow.

I think the Democrats' glaring stupidity in some of their remarks is embarrassing some of their more intelligent members. The Daily Kos and Democratic Underground inmates make them look worse than anything we can do. Cindy Sheehan's remarks all over the news is doing more harm than good to their cause, and I think many of them are waking up to that fact.

Soldiers know, when they enlist, that it is entirely possible they will be shipped out and never come home. It’s part of the job. The fact that people still walk in to recruiters’ offices and sign that piece of paper make them heroes. To imply that they are simple kids who didn’t know what they were getting into, or even worse, that they died for no reason, or an immoral reason, does a horrible thing. It strips their sacrifice of the honor that it deserves. Even though those folks sitting out there in the Texas fields claim to honor and support the soldiers, they obviously have been blinded by their own selfishness as to the real way to support them.

He certainly hits the nail on the head with those remarks. Cindy Sheehan and her ignorant sycophants, both in the protests and the media, are the ones dishonoring her son and his sacrifice, and the soldiers still on the ground who need our support, not stupidity as is being displayed by the peaceniks in Crawford and elsewhere.
