202 Republicans in the House. 49 Republicans in the Senate. 28 Cabinet members. The President and the Vice-president. That’s eerily close to the 300 Spartans defending their city from the massive, approaching army of Persians.

The liberal left has been attacking conservatism for decades. It’s nothing new. However, recently, they have stepped it up a notch. And I’m not just talking about Hillary’s latest comments in New Hampshire complaining about the “vast, right-wing conspiracy.” If only it were only that much.

But they’ve done much more.

Take, for example, liberals adding pork to a military spending bill. Forget that during last year’s elections, they made cutting pork a priority. Forget that they were going to work a 5 day work week like the rest of us.

Forget that they threatened to cut funding to our military during a time of war. Forget that one of their presidential hopefuls attacked the military by saying that if you don’t study, you’ll end up stuck in Iraq.

Forget that today they voted and passed a bill to cut and run in Iraq.

Unfortunately, it seems that the Democratic party has been more obsessed with the pursuit of power than the safety of our country.

In doing so, this administration is having to spend time defending being attacked from the left instead of spending time defending our country from the true threats.

When listening to the left, one can easily think that they have lost their interest in even pretending to care about our fight for freedom. Instead, we have special investigations on crimes that were never committed, pulling administration aides away from protecting our nation, hearings on global warming and other silly concepts.

The caricature above was drawn by my wife, Angie, after we saw the film, ’300.’ I made the comment that at times it seemed like President Bush is constantly spending more time defending his actions and beliefs to an emboldened left wing. With that, the caricature was born.

We must keep our eye on the true threat of an ideology that hates us for who we are. They hate our religion. They hate our freedom. They hate our prosperity.

The question is, which ideology fits that description better? Democrats or radical terrorists?
