Democrats mimic the "Light Brigade"
It is an interesting case of political suicide. It is the true believers of liberalism pushing something most people do not want. If nothing else this Congress is demonstrating the failure of liberalism in a spectacular fashion.Let's first channel Alfred, Lord Tennyson from his poem "The Charge of the Light Brigade":
Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,

"Forward the Light Brigade!
Charge for the guns," he said
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred. (two-hundred eighty)"Forward, the Light Brigade!"

Someone had blunder'd:
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred. (two-hundred eighty)But still you charge. Still you vote for a bill the American public has repudiated, after extensive debate, by 18 points. Still you back legislation that seniors oppose by two to one. Still you use your majorities to pass the single most unpopular piece of legislation in recent history.

What has gotten into you? Where are your senses? What happened to your instincts?
