Senate Democrat's Battle Plan for Next Election

Remember that dorky kid in high school that always tried to be cool? Well maybe that was every kid in high school, but I digress. You know what I'm talking about. He's got all the right clothes, the right hair and the right lingo, but everyone knows he's not cool. Or that relative, that brother in law that is just obnoxious but he's the wife's brother so the husband tries to act like he's glad to see him, but his wife sees right through it. Well here comes the Democrats and Harry Ried looking to show America how patriotic they are for the coming election. Here's a snippet from the memo on how to highlight their differences on national security from the President.

Titled "Real Security," the political document calls for staged town hall events at military bases, weapons factories, National Guard units, fire stations and veterans posts.

"Ensure that you have the proper U.S. and state flags at the event, and consider finding someone to sing the national anthem and lead the group in the Pledge of Allegiance at the start of the event," the battle plan states.

If you one has to tell a person how to act virtuous, it is because that person lacks virtue of his own. For Harry Ried to remind his fellow democrats to have flags, sing the anthem and say the pledge betrays their disdain for such things.

Too bad that tar and feathering is no longer a tradition in politics today. This kind of fained patriotism at places such as "military bases, weapons factories, National Guard units, fire stations and veterans posts" would be a perfect set up.
