Democrats Fiddle While Rome Burns

Michelle Malkin reports on the rash of insane pronouncements coming from luminaries in the Democratic party in the last few days. In this essay, "Day of Demagoguery" we get to see Hillary Clinton, The Smartest Woman in the World, tell us all about those racist bigots in the Congress, who are all Republicans of course. No need to examine the question of which party was the author of Jim Crow, or which side they backed in the Civil War or how their modern day decendents have created a cradle to grave entitlement system that keeps minorities addicted to Democratic handouts. No need to talk about that at all. Just keep blaming Republicans for all things evil and perhaps some of it will eventually stick. And don't stop to reflect on those poor election results year after year after year either. Eventually the smears and attacks will have their desired effect.

Meanwhile, back in the world of real problems and real danger Charles Krauthammer writes about the impending development of atomic weapons by one of the world's most odious regimes. The Mullahs in Iran want to wipe the West off the face of the map and they won't be interested in negotiation as long as they get their 72 virgins. But of course this is just not important enough for the Democrats to take it seriously. Much more fun to bash the party that has actually been trying to do something about it.
