Democrats New Take on History

It's so neat! You can change it anytime to fit whatever agenda, according to Austin Bay and the Left’s new history on missile defense:

That’s Rep. Ellen Tauscher’s line on C-SPAN’s Washington Journal this morning– liberal Democrats have always supported missile defense. Hogwash. The LibDems have spent over two decades demonizing those of us who do support missile defense. The NoKo bomb has changed the LibDem tune. That’s good, but please, let’s not try and change history — the history of hysterical opposition to strategic missile defense. (Tauscher comes on about 2 hours into the show. Two hours and one minute into the program. Her comments on missile defense crop up about 2:25 into the show. Toggle forward at the C-SPAN site.)
Tauscher says she’s for a “missile defense system” that works. Hah. These folks have fought funding and testing tooth and nail. She’s also something of a “unilateralist” when it comes to diplomacy vis a vis North Korea. (Engage North Korea!) Sheesh.


The next lesson will be: how Ted Kennedy and Jimmy Carter won the Cold War.
