WELCOME TO THE FUNNY FARM: THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION

        The Democratic convention has almost overwhelmed Horsefeathers' cant detectors. According to most of what we've read, this gathering of appeasers, grievance mongers and angry utopians has been a great success. Why? Because it has managed to mask and disguise the authentic sentiments and beliefs of the party faithful! Hooray for the 90+% of the delegates who agree with Michael Moore, that the Iraq war was a devious plot manufactured by President Bush, but who hide their beliefs in hope of electing anybody but Bush. Anger is barely visible---except from old warhorses like Ted Kennedy. What an achievement! Hooray for the entire cast of self-reinventors. The party of feeling feels your pain and will take care of you, because you're just such a wonderful simple, hard working but unfairly treated American. Don't you want to go back to the peace and prosperity of the '90's? Well they'll take you there and not even mention that Muslim fanatics were working hard to destroy you all through that holiday from history. No mention of the Neville Chamberlain role of Jimmy Carter, who started it all with Iran. After all, Carter, the appeaser, has a Nobel Peace Prize, just like his good friend Yasser Arafat. They'll barely mention a war being waged by totalitarian fanatics to replace democracy with primitive Islamic Sharia law. If they do mention it, they'll assert how "strong" they are, although being "strong" seems to mean pursuing legal remedies rather than killing our enemies. And when it comes to legal remedies, the Democratic Party will find someone to sue if anything at all goes wrong in your life, and then will tuck you into bed and read you a fairy tale. This absurd Democratic nominating convention is considered a great success by pundits and deep thinkers in the media. Yet, if there's one thing Americans reject more than a wimp, it's a phony. The Mommy party might win by lulling everyone back to the sleep from which we awakened on 9-11, but more likely it will be regarded as a party of phonies, cowards and self-reinventors. Horsefeathers is not buying the fraud and suspects American will not buy it from those who are too timid to honestly state their beliefs.

I think you're too suspicious. I also wonder why you think you have your fingers on the pulse of Democrats, since it seems as if you can't stand to be in the same room with any.

Poor Neville Chamberlain always gets it as the quintessential appeaser. However, given the appalling scale of deaths in the First Word War, it really was incumbent on Chamberlain to atleast give another try to settle the issue peacefully.

It is to his credit that he declared war within 24 hours of his not getting the assurance he required. And then most honoroubly resigned and supported Churchill throughout.

IMO Neville Chamberlain acted with the true hallmark of a great and honourable statesman.

Kerry gave a fine speech. Bush has a lot to worry about, and hiding the radical Republicans from the pdium may not be enough.

So much for all those Sandy Berger concerns:

I thought I read that the National Archives disavowed the WSJ report that link referred to.

IT WAS ALL THE BOSTON "ME" PARTY. I HATE TO SAY THIS BUT TED KENNEDY GAVE THE ONLY SPEECH THAT WAS ABOUT HIS AGENDA AND NOT ABOUT HIMSELF.
