Here is a little review of historical fact for those Repuglicans who seem to be deluded by Rush Limbaugh (fat drug fiend), Ann Coulter (she's really a guy) and Bill O'Reilly (cowardly pathological liar) into thinking that Democrats are somehow wimpy. They aren't. They are MACHO. In some cases, recklessly macho. And the facts are all right there in the history of our country:
War of 1812: In our first war as the United States of America, we are led by James Madison, junior partner of Thomas Jefferson and one of the founders of the Democratic Party. Not only that, but we take on the leading military power of the age, the British Empire! Talk about BALLS!
Mexican-American War: We fought the Mexicans and annexed lots of their land! All under the Administration of Jacksonian DEMOCRAT James Polk! Mexico was pretty much our only neighbor at that time, and this was the first war that the United States actually achieved a decisive victory in! WHAT MACHISMO!
World War 1: Woodrow Wilson leads the nation into the war in Europe, tipping the balance and leading to German defeat. At the same time, he introduces concepts which revolutionize the practice of international relations. Wilson was, you guessed it, a DEMOCRAT.
World War 2: The great struggle for freedom against fascist tyranny was led by none other than Franklin Delano Roosevelt - a DEMOCRAT IN A WHEELCHAIR! Whattaman!
Korean War: The opening war of the Cold War was begun under Roosevelt's successor, good old "the buck stops here" Harry S. Truman. While we are at it, let's point out that Truman also began the policy of containment and thus marks the beginning of the Cold War. Truman was a DEMOCRAT, and a downright feisty one too.
Vietnam War: Well, this was a pretty boneheaded move, but we sent the troops in under none other than Lyndon Johnson!
I ask you, does this sound like a party of WIMPS? I think not. Excepting the Civil War, the Spanish-American War, and the two Iraq Wars, Democrats have been behind all the wars in this nation's history, including the BOTH WORLD WARS. Why, Democrats are the biggest bunch of warmongers in American political history!
Win the war on terror. Vote for a proven war record. Vote Democrat!
