Hat Tip

to avowed anti-war Democrat Scarlett Johansonn, for visiting our troops in the Middle East to cheer them up.

I bash the far-left on this blog a lot, and the far left deserves it. But the vast majority of Democrats today are just as patriotic and security conscious as I am, whether they are loudly singing "God Bless America" at a Yankee game in the Bronx or colorfully taking down every word in Indianapolis.

We need to remember that whatever our differences in opinion are on how the war should be fought, we are (usually) all on the same side when it comes to this war (with noted exceptions like John Murtha and Michael Moore), and that politics is merely a game, where we should all be able to go out for a drink afterwards.
