What has happened to the party I've spent my life working in?
Zell Miller wants to know. I'd like an answer, too. MTV has this report.

NEW YORK — There should be a picture of Zell Miller in the dictionary under the term "old-school whupping," because that is what the Democratic senator and Republican-convention keynote speaker administered to John Kerry on Wednesday night.

***

"Now, while young Americans are dying in the sands of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan," Miller explained, "our nation is being torn apart and made weaker because of the Democrats' manic obsession to bring down our commander-in-chief. What has happened to the party I've spent my life working in? I can remember when Democrats believed that it was the duty of America to fight for freedom over tyranny ... but not today. Motivated more by partisan politics than by national security, today's Democratic leaders see America as an occupier, not a liberator."

Miller, who frequently referenced God and never smiled during the 17-minute tongue-lashing, then blasted Kerry's position on the war in Iraq. "Senator Kerry has made it clear that he would use military force only if approved by the United Nations. Kerry would let Paris decide when America needs defending. I want Bush to decide. John Kerry, who says he doesn't like outsourcing, wants to outsource our national security. That's the most dangerous outsourcing of all. This politician wants to be leader of the free world. Free, for how long?"
Long, long ago, in a galaxy far, far away (or at least it seems that way) there was a political party that had no use for, and little tolerance of, tyrants of any stripe. From the Barbary Pirates to Hitler and Stalin, Democratic presidents responded as forcefully as their political circumstances permitted.

Thomas Jefferson declared "I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility to every form of tyranny over the mind of man." Today's Democrats, on the other hand, seem to have sworn eternal hostility to every policy of George W. Bush. They probably didn't swear upon the altar of God (that would violate the separation of church and state), but they seem to take that oath a lot more seriously than Bill Clinton did his witness's oath.

Miller is right to be ashamed of his party's behavior. All Democrats ought to be ashamed of their leaders. American soldiers are fighting and dying to make the world a safer, freer, and better place, and the leaders of the Democratic Party give aid and comfort to their opponents with their demogoguery.

I see only one cure for the Democrats' behavior. The American people must repudiate them at the polls this November. Rise up and drive them from public office. Vote against every Democrat at every level of government. If you can't bring yourself to vote Republican, vote independent, or don't vote at all.

Democrats will abandon their corrosive rhetoric only when they are made to do so, and only the American people can accomplish that.
