You’ve heard the “we support the troops” mantra from the Democrats. But when it comes to hearing the experiences of a recently returned soldier from Iraq he is shunned by the Democrats.

Powerline relates the experience of this soldier, a Major, who finds a starvation among the people here in America for the truth of what is going on in Iraq. And it seems if that truth is good news the Democrats don’t want any part of it.

What has struck me the most is how starved people are to know what is really going on over there. So many are quite grateful to hear a different perspective than the one that bombards them daily. Having watched the biased reporting since the beginning of the conflict, I was not surprised to discover that people want a more balanced perspective, even if the intensity is stronger than I expected. What has been surprising, though, and a bit disappointing, is that there has been a distinct split between the interest level of partisan political groups. I contacted county leadership for both Democrats and Republicans, along with non-partisan church and civic groups, and have received numerous requests from churches, non-partisan groups, and Republican organizations — but zero from Democrats, despite following up with them several times.

I hope it is an anomaly, but I wonder if the fact that Democratic leaders in my county would rather accuse the troops at Gitmo of running a “gulag” than hear about the experiences of a service member who just returned from Iraq might be driving some folks away from their tent of “tolerance,” not just here in Northern California but around the country.

It’s just more evidence of the deceit of the Democrat Party, pretending to support the troops while undermining their efforts. It’s good to know more and more Americans are seeing the anti-American nature of the Democrat Party. And it’s even better to know that things in Iraq are going much better than reported.

Thank you Major. Keep up the good work… here and abroad.
