Natalie Maines is an Anti-American scumbag.

"The entire country may disagree with me, but I don't understand the necessity for patriotism," Maines resumes, through gritted teeth. "Why do you have to be a patriot? About what? This land is our land? Why? You can like where you live and like your life, but as for loving the whole country… I don't see why people care about patriotism."

This is so ludicrously stupid that it requires no comment. I'll let the sheer idiocy of her statement stand on its own.

Death of Zarqawi is a political stunt?

Some Democrats, broke ranks from their leadership following the death Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi, stating that his death was a stunt to divert attention from an unpopular and hopeless war.

"This is just to cover Bush's [rear] so he doesn't have to answer" for Iraqi civilians being killed by the U.S. military and his own sagging poll numbers, said Rep. Pete Stark, California Democrat. "Iraq is still a mess -- get out."

I see. So if Bush can't catch the bad guys (i.e. Osama Bin Laden, a.k.a. His Mama Bin Layin'), he's incompetent. When he does catch the bad guys, he's a coniving genius, hell-bent on political diversion.

Resident Martian and former [insert uncontrollable chuckle here] Democrat presidential candidate, Dennis Kucinich, had this to add:

"Zarqawi was a small part of "a growing anti-American insurgency" and that it's time to get out. "We're there for all the wrong reasons,"

He also added, "Nanoo nanoo" and concluded with a showing of the Vulcan sign for long life and prosperity.

Seriously, we can only hope that the Democrats continue to downplay our few military victories in the Middle East. It only makes the right look that much stronger on terrorism.

Which of course...they are.
