What Has Happened To Cal Thomas?

Attempting to make the case that the modern Democrat political machine is no less American than its Republican opposition, Thomas states that the American grave markers at Normandy are not identified as "D" (Democrat) or "R" (Republican). Again, he speaks truth, but only in part.
World War II Democrats would not have tolerated the treasonous denigration of America and lauding of the enemy from liberal partisans such as Harry Reid and Jack Murtha. The media did not spend its time working to minimize American victories while magnifying any errors or gains on the part of its enemies.
Now, both work tirelessly to dispirit American troops while legitimizing and thus inspiring Islamic terrorists. Patriotism has not changed. But the Democrat party most assuredly has.
To suggest that it can now be defined as everything from traditional flag waving on Memorial day to Cindy Sheehan fawning over hostile foreign dictators is to suggest that it no longer means anything at all. Thus patriotism becomes just another victim of lib nihilism.
Cal Thomas can join their ranks and do his best to establish moral equivalency between the American left and the right. But real America will never accept it.
