Democrat Candidate Jim Webb: "Dems Have Moved Way Far to the Left --- That's Not My Democratic Party"

Jim Webb, Democrat
Candidate for President

Jim Webb of Virginia may be the best Democratic candidate since JFK.  He is the only candidate in either party to speak with common sense, reverence and truth about Southern heritage.  He has defended the Confederate flag in the past.  I would seriously consider voting for him.  He said:

“To tar the sacrifices of the Confederate soldier as simple acts of racism, and reduce the battle flag under which he fought to nothing more than the symbol of a racist heritage, is one of the great blasphemies of our modern age.”

If the Dems are smart, they will nominate him.  He could be the Democrat to take back the "Solid South" and restore the Democratic Party to the great American institution that it once was.

Democrat Jim Webb Stands Up For the Confederate Flag

Hmmm, I will consider voting for Jim Webb if he is the Democrats' candidate for President.  He is currently considering a run.

He has made some very common sense statements on the recent flag hysteria,  He wrote:

“This is an emotional time and we all need to think through these issues with a care that recognizes the need for change but also respects the complicated history of the Civil War,” Webb wrote in a post on Facebook.

He also said:

“We should also remember that honorable Americans fought on both sides in the Civil War, including slave holders in the Union Army from states such as Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland and Delaware, and that many non-slave holders fought for the South. It was in recognition of the character of soldiers on both sides that the federal government authorized the construction of the Confederate Memorial 100 years ago, on the grounds of Arlington National Cemetery.”

The Rest of the Story: Must Reads for Sunday

Looking beyond the headlines at the back story can reveal the true motivations of the players and give you a better understanding of the how and why of current events.

Here are some must-read articles for Sunday that provide the back story:

Hugh Hewitt posts a letter from an Annapolis grad to Jim Webb, the angry and rude new senator from Virginia. The letter is making waves and is worth a read.

Little Green Footballs posts an article that describes how the surge is already working in Iraq, where many terrorists have fled Baghdad in advance of the arrival of additional US troops. The surge is working?? Yes, and that's why the Democrats, who are heavily invested in a US defeat, oppose it. That's why several US cities were awash in moonbats, war protestors and other vermin this weekend. If the surge works, Bush looks good and they look bad. There goes the 2008 Presidential elections! I mean, what's really important here, world peace (through victory) or having an atmosphere more conducive to Democrat victories at the polls? What are you wingnuts thinking, anyway?

Instapundit links to an article that describes Hollywood's problem with terrorism. Yes, terrorism is a real problem and one that should be documented in drama and film. However, the terrorists happen to be dark-skinned types from Third World countries and Muslims to boot. Let's see, what's more important? Documenting the truth or avoiding any implication of "bigotry" or "racism"? C'mon, are you really suggesting that our own physical survival is more important than liberal sensitivities? I know I'd rather be dead than to have liberals dislike me, wouldn't you?

The Fourth Rail theorizes that the recent attack on US Marines in Baghdad was really carried out by Iran's special forces. The operation, which involved enemy combatants dressed in US uniforms and driving US style vehicles, was far too sophisticated to have been arranged by the ragged insurgents of al-Qaeda. I don't know if it's true or not, but US troops have now been given permission to kill Iranian agents encountered in Iraq. And that's a good thing.

Yesterday I saw an article on MSN.com about CNN and Fox News having a snit fit over the true story of Barack Obama's childhood education. Fox claims he was schooled in a Muslim madrassa in Indonesia and, at sometime in the past, Obama was a Muslim. CNN insists it isn't so. CNN is a house organ for the Democratic Party and Fox is, well, fair and balanced. So why the disagreement?

Debbie Schlussel explains. If Obama is or ever was a Muslim, his chances to be elected President are effectively shredded. The American people will not vote for a Muslim for President.

And as Paul Harvey used to say, that's the rest of the story.....
