Lyndon B Johnson was the LAST Democratic President that was willing to use Military Power. Both Carter and Clinton were weak sisters or diasters when it came to Foreign Policy and the use of Miitary power to exert our authority.

Every time National Security has been a frontline issue the Democrats have lost the election for the President. Remember whats his name riding in the tank that Bush 1 trounced.....This has been the case ever since the McGovern faction took over the Democratic Party back in 1972.

The reason for this sorry state of affairs is that the Anti-Vietnam War Baby Boomers have now come of age and have assumed the reigns of power in the Liberal camp...they see nothing but apppeasement of our enemies, that America is at fault and if only we cleaned up our act and acted altruistically for the betterment of mankind our enemies would lay down their arms and we all could sing Kum By Ya. Unfortunately to act altruisitcally we would have to give up our SUVS and Widescreen TVs...cause it wasn't by acting altruistically that we aquired them...it was by hard work, being shrewd and using force when necessary that got us to where we are now. Unfortunately the Baby Boomers don't realize this..since during their lifetimes they have been given nothing but prosperity in comparison to their forebearers. Then there are just those enemies who just plain want to take away what we have for their own gain..and again the Liberals just think that if you understand our eneimies they will become our friends.

In conclusion the Liberals don't know when or where to draw the line in the sand and say we are going to take a stand here. They would rather live in the neblous world of can't we all just get along..
