The DU d'RAT Review

I created this blog as a response to the hypocrisy, nastiness, and negativity at Democratic Underground. The D'RATS do not allow disagreement on their site; they demand their posters tout their party line word-for-word. Any poster who does not march in lockstep is immediately banned. Their cowardice in this, and their calumny towards America's leaders, will not go unanswered as I address the issues of the day--and one of the most negative, detrimental influences in the blogosphere.

The First United Methods-Of-Cowardice:

Church Declares Sanctuary For Service Members Who Won't Deploy
The First United Methodist Church of Tacoma has declared itself a sanctuary for members of the military who don't want to go to Iraq or Afghanistan.

Church officials said that the council voted last weekend to open its doors to those service people beginning Saturday. The decision by the church comes after 1st Lt. Ehren Watada, a Fort Lewis Army officer, announced that he won't go to Iraq although he could face two years in prison for failing to deploy.

A statement from the church said that service members "who are unable to deploy to combat areas for reasons of conscience" can find protection behind its doors.

The Rev. Monty Smith said that "our initiative was because of Lieutenant Watada's gesture."

I appreciate a church's role in protecting people, but we have far too many anti-American Lefty/Libby/D'Rats up here that have no notion of duty, honor, or bravery. If the church is going to butt into this business, it needs to likewise teach the young to defend their country and live up to their word.
