Sedition Personified

I was just reading over at Blogs for Bush, I can't believe what I've just read. Well...yes I do. They link to Stop the ACLU, and here is a quote from our incoming House Ways and Means Committee Chairman, Charles Rangel. It'll make you proud.

I want to make it abundantly clear: if there’s anyone who believes that these youngsters want to fight, as the Pentagon and some generals have said, you can just forget about it. No young, bright individual wants to fight just because of a bonus and just because of educational benefits. And most all of them come from communities of very, very high unemployment. If a young fella has an option of having a decent career or joining the army to fight in Iraq, you can bet your life that he would not be in Iraq.

Where to begin? He packed so much cynicism and stupidity into that one paragraph that it's a little tough to know where to start. These young, bright individuals don't just go into it for their bonuses and educational benefits. Completely foreign to this doddering idiot is the idea that they believe in their country and know it's worth fighting for. "...most all of them come from communities of very, very high unemployment." ???? WHERE? Come on, Rangel, give us some examples of communities in America with "very, very high unemployment," then show us the enlistment numbers. He won't because he can't.

Rangel manages to insult his country, his military, and anyone who has the misfortune of reading his stupid words...except of course the moonbats who agree with him.

Hey...way to go American voters who thought they were teaching the Republicans a lesson. You put people like THIS in power.

JASmius adds: The one state in the country with significantly above-average unemployment is Michigan, and they overwhelmingly re-elected their Donk governor and U.S. senator. That leaves three possibilities:

1) Voters in Michigan (and across the country) were ignorant;

2) Voters in Michigan (and across the country) went temporarily insane;

3) Voters in Michigan (and across the country) knew exactly what they were doing because seditionists like Charlie Rangel were the kind of people they wanted to put into power.

Given how undisguised was the extremism of Rangel and his comrades for the past six years, and the magnitude of the Dems' popular vote margin this time 'round, #3 looks like a stronger and stronger possibility.
