Islam Really Means Submission? No Problem, Say Dems

After all, they only hate religious fanatics who worship Christ. Islamofascists are A-OK:

Acts of submission.

The term was Winston Churchill's description of the different methods that had been employed by British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain and his supporters to appease Hitler and Italian dictator Benito Mussolini in the 1930's. Chamberlain was appeasing, Churchill said, "in the hope that by great and far-reaching acts of submission, not merely in sentiment and pride, but in material matters, peace may be preserved." He went on to warn, correctly, of just how foolish -- and -- dangerous this would be to England.

If followed in a linear fashion, through the maze of late 20th century American history, personalities and politics the real reason why ex- President Clinton has so many critics over his policies dealing with terrorism -- the reason why this fall's midterm election brings another blistering critique of Democrats on national security issues -- is that, like Chamberlain and company, they have a history of "acts of submission." It is a very decided and by now very defined pattern of acts of submission by modern Democrats to foreign threats -- from Communism to Islamic fascism.
