Spineless Patriot

I could not believe it. I was so happy last week when Congressman Pete Stark (D) took a stand for our country and bashed the War and King George into the preverbal wall. I thought to myself, “Finally a democrat with a backbone!” …I was wrong. Today, Pete Stark Folded like a lawn chair in his apology to congress. Even when a Cnn poll showed that 97% of Americans thought that he shouldn’t apologize. My question is: Where is my apology for your lack of testicals and your inability to represent the majority of Americans? For a moment I saw a congressman actually doing what he was supposed to do. Then I saw Stark once again stand in front of congress and say "I want to apologize to my colleagues, many of whom I have offended,” offend your colleagues?! To hell with your colleagues! What about those dying men and women whom you so strongly care about? What about the Americans you’re supposed to represent? I don’t know… Maybe I’m being a little hard on the congressman. I wouldn’t have apologized if they held a gun to my head. It is apparent congressman that you still believe what you originally said. Otherwise I don’t think it would have been as difficult as it looked for you when you apologized. Besides, Its in your blood. You opposed the Vietnam War and you oppose this war.

You were right when you insulted King George. Just like all of our founding fathers were right when they stood against tyrants. The only difference is, if they had backed down like you did. We would all be under the rule of a king, instead of a president.

Congressmen Stark… Apparently not patriot material.
