An anti-American activist? You know who the anti-Americans are? The people pressuring Bush to take their tax cuts out of our soldiers’ hides.

There is only so much he can borrow. Because the 28%-ers want us occupying Iraq (even though it’s done nothing but hurt our national security and help Al Queda), but refuse to pay a dime more in taxes to support it, Bush has no choice but to skimp every way he can on our soldiers.

If Congress passed a law tomorrow that each state had to have the same per capita ratio of National Guard and Reserve mobilizations, half the support for the war would evaporate overnight. If they then passed a law that taxes would be raised to pay for upgrading the troops equipment, Bush would veto it in a heartbeat, because the rest of the support would disappear.

The people who are anti-Americans are the ones who insist on prosecuting a war that harms our national interests and have the luxury of doing so because they know that only other people will have to sacrifice for it.
