The New Face of the Democrats?

Greetings, earthlings! Once I again, it has been quite some time since I've written anything, and it's likely that my usual rate of writing (as in, not very often) will continue. I haven't been inspired to write for quite some time, but tonight I have a few minutes to put together a few more-or-less random thoughts and links.

Super (Bowl) Seahawks!

Well, as long last, my team is in the SuperBowl. It's been great fun watching the Seahawks this year: Shaun Alexander racking up the yards and touchdowns; Matt Hasselbeck making great decisions at quarterback and throwing some fabulous passes; awesome catches by the wide outs and tight ends; Lofa Tatupu and the defense making great plays when it counted. All around it has been a fantastic season.

I had the opportunity to go to a game at Qwest field earlier in the season, and watched the Hawks crunch the Arizona Cardinals. Everyone says how loud Qwest field is - I can verify it. Whenever the opposing team's offense is at the line in their snap count, the crowd goes absolutely bananas. You can't hear anything but the roar of the crowd. Texas A&M's traditions aside, Seahawks fans are, without a doubt, the 12th man at Seahawks home games.

Whether the Hawks win or lose in the Super Bowl, I've enjoyed watching them this season. I hope that they play their very best next Sunday, and that the game is fun and exciting to watch - especially for Seattle fans! Go Hawks!

What Is Happening to the Democratic Party?

I know that there are a lot of people unhappy with the Bush administration (though I'm not one of them), but do the Democrats honestly think that the American people are going to be voting Republicans out of office, given the strange shenanigans of so many leaders of the Democrats lately?

Some of the cases I've noted:

• John Kerry and Ted Kennedy writing articles at far left blog Daily Kos, associating themselves with some of the most vile anti-Bush, anti-Republican, even anti-American diatribes ever to see the light of day. (Thanks to Michelle Malkin). If Kerry was considering at all running again in 2008, he just tubed his chances with that bad decision.
• John Kerry and Ted Kennedy (two peas in a pod, if there ever were) calling for a filibuster of Judge Alito, an eminently qualified jurist.
• Nancy Pelosi saying that “I would not want any president — Democrat or Republican — to have the expanded power the administration is claiming in this case,” regarding the NSA wiretapping of international calls originating from or going to suspected Al Qaeda members or associates. <sarcasm>Yeah, that stance will get people believing that the Democrats are serious about defending the country. Not!</sarcasm>
• Harry Reid claiming that the Bush administration is doing a poor job of disaster preparedness because it is too distracted by political problems. And where do you think those political problems that the administration is dealing with might originate, Senator? It wouldn't be the Democrats, now, would it? Oh yeah, it is.
• Last, but not least - Cindy Sheehan cavorting with socialist Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez at the "World Social Forum" in Caracas. You just can't make this kind of stuff up.

This picture comes from Reuters and the MSNBC article linked above. From the article:

Sheehan also noted that singer and activist Harry Belafonte recently called Bush “the greatest terrorist in the world,” and said, “I agree with him. George Bush is responsible for killing tens of thousands of innocent people.”

Mrs. Sheehan is also considering running against incumbent California Democratic senator Diane Feinstein. As a Republican, all I can say is, please, Mrs. Sheehan, run! It will help expose the whole country to the loony left, and wake the country up to what the Democratic Party is becoming.

At one time, I had some sympathy for Cindy Sheehan, but I really don't any more. The loss of her son was tragic - something no parent should ever have to face - but her continued venomous speech, not only against President Bush but against the U.S. and the country as a whole, has left me feeling nothing but disgust with her. She is simply a tool of the far left - fascists, socialists and communists hiding behind anti-war rhetoric.

I hate to say it, but it really is true, I think. When so many of their leaders seem to be going completely off their rockers, Hillary Clinton is starting actually look like a good choice for the Democrats. Urk! Gag! Wow. When Bill Clinton's wife seems like the reasonable choice, you know the Democrats have fallen far. When will they come to their senses?

Well, that's all I have for now. I'll write again whenever... See you then.
