Remember when
it was anti-American for
incumbent members of congress
to travel to foreign countries to undermine American foreign policy? For Republicans it's a great
Patriotic Duty to travel to distant lands to openly undermine America. But how did these Great Patriots react when they ruled the world?
- Brad Blakeman, a member of President Bush’s Senior Staff, called Pelosi the “Neville Chamberlain of our time,” for going to Syria. He also said that her trip was giving aid and comfort to our enemies, a charge of treason in every sense of the word.
- The Wall Street Journal, printed an op-ed by a former Reagan government member that went as far to say that Pelosi may have committed a felony for going to Syria.
It's also worth mentioning Speaker Pelosi's trip was conducted via the state department and not on her own initiative, unlike
current Republican Freedom Fighting trips. In fact, the half-a-dozen or so Republicans traveling to Copenhagen next week are entirely
doing so to "oppose plans for cap-and-trade legislation." The whole basis of their trip is to show public discord for American foreign policy. They are actually going there pretending that they are the head of state. I'm not sure there is any other action by the opposition party that can show a greater disregard for the president than this. They really believe the current Democratic government is illegitimate.
