It is quite remarkable to compare the words and actions of "Peace" Democrats during the Civil War (called "Copperheads" then) with the Democrats of today prattling about the (misnamed) "war on terror". The arguments used then: "let's negotiate with the South"; the "reasonable" argument of seeing things from the "others'" perspective; blah.. blah are pretty much the same arguments and course of action being touted now on how to deal with the Islamic world. Maybe there is a genetic component to being a Democrat that has not been recognized as yet.
In the Civil War. Union troops escorted one of the more inflammatory Democratic leaders, Clement L. Valladigham, to the Confederate lines and expelled him from Union territory. He eventually ended up in Canada (shades of Vietnam era deserters). If we could only escort the "Peace" Democrats (big, fat Ted, as a start) to Wazirstan now The sight of Pelosi, Boxer and H. Clinton in burqa would be so enjoyable and would do wonders for the morale of US troops in Afghanistan and Iraq. As for Ted, well the Afghans do enjoy a bit of "boy flesh" now and then.
