Quote Of The Day

“The problem is deeper than John Kerry … [and the] result is a lack of liberal passion for winning the war on terrorism — a lack of passion that has cost Democrats dearly at the polls…. MoveOn was founded in the late 1990s to oppose Bill Clinton’s impeachment. But it responded to Sept. 11 by opposing the war against the Taliban. In 2002 it incorporated 9-11peace.org, which also opposed the Afghan war, and questioned the need for greater CIA funding. In the years since, MoveOn has depicted the war on terrorism in overwhelmingly negative terms — as a menace to civil liberties and a distraction from domestic concerns. Like Michael Moore, it has minimized the al Qaeda threat”– New Republic Editor Peter Beinart, writing in the Washington Post
