This post comes after Congressman Pete Stark's (Democrat) audacious rant on the House floor last week regarding the President and the Iraq war. To read more, see my post on it from several days ago. (It's the second link below: Stark Raving Mad.) Stark, facing a firestorm of criticism, apologized for his reprehensible contumely but wounds linger. This article brings up the question of how liberals view/interpret American history. Stark's far left-field view of events becomes more clear with this piece. It's worth a read.
