The state doesn’t get it. Out goes a strong liberal senator, Joe Lieberman, because of one issue — Iraq.

No small issue, to be sure, but one that has obsessed the hate-filled leftists of MoveOn, Michael Moore and George Soros — to name just a few misguided, unpatriotic cowards.

Lieberman was a man nominated by acclamation six years ago to be the Democrat vice-Presidential candidate. Good enough for that, but not good enough to represent his state, where the sons of the wealthy Darien residents can boast that they’re the toughest kids on the pond.

Running to Ned Lamont, the very wealthy Democrat who bashes Wal Mart while owning thousands of their shares, were the usual Democrat cowards, Kerry, Bayh, Clinton, Lieberman’s co-Connecticut Senator Dodd. One thinks if this had been a battle to the death, these vultures would be picking pieces out of Lieberman’s body.

Massachusetts, home to the double K’s, Kennedy and Kerry, liberal voice of the poor and downtrodden has just spit in the face of their soldiers.

Shades of VietNam, where liberal anger about the war spilled over onto hate for the poor soldiers sent to fight it. As if they were responsible. But that is the liberal mindset — blame and attack anything if you’re unhappy about something in particular.

Yesterday, Massachusetts lawmakers adjourned and left unsigned Mitt Romney’s bill to allow an tuition fee waiver for returning GI’s. They said they didn’t have the time to vote on the issue.

However, there was time to pass educational fee waivers for illegal immigrants.

Perhaps if soldiers declared that they were gay and intended to marry the vote would have turned out differently.

Spent another Sunday afternoon at Holy Family Nursing Home in Philadelphia visting my mother, who is a ninety-four year old resident there. Though in a wheelchair, her health is excellent. She’s like that old commercial for Timex that put the wristwatch through a destructive test, after which the sonorous spokesman, John Cameron Swaze, picked it up and said, “Takes a lickin’, but keeps on tickin’.”

That’s mom. Her body’s been tested and ravaged by age, but it’s still ticking. This depresses her. With no trace of the martyrdom Italian mothers have in their interpersonal arsenal she asks, “What am I still doing here?”

The loony left, led by their cheerleader-in-a-three-piece-suit, Howard Dean, once again displays a hypocrisy unmatched in current affairs. Last week, Democratic Party chairman Howard Dean called Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki an “anti-Semite” for failing to denounce Hezbollah. Never mind that al-Maliki is representing a country teetering on the brink of stability, buffeted by political winds of all kinds, enduring terror daily, al-Maliki is condemned by Dean for doing what prime ministers do as a matter of course — sidestep reporters’ questions on sensitive issues when some answers could inflame an already combustible situation.
