ANOTHER REASON I'M NOT A DEMOCRAT
From Democrats.com's newsletter, on the eve of July 4th:
On Sunday July 13th please join us for drinks, dinner and discussion at the highly praised French restaurant Lavandou, 3321 Connecticut Avenue, NW, in Washington, which is near the Cleveland Park Metro stop. We will honor the French resistance to the war in Iraq with a selection of French wines starting at 5:00 and have a lively discussion about Internet-enabled political action. Dinner will start around 6:30 and costs just $40 per person, which includes one button and one bumper sticker with our smash hit slogan "Re-Defeat Bush." If you can only attend the reception but cannot stay for dinner the cost is just $15, also including your complimentary button and bumper sticker. Of course, there will be more buttons and bumper stickers on hand to purchase as well as lawn signs with the same slogan. (emphasis mine)
They're calling the celebration "Bastille Day," which is actually on the 14th. I get their notices every day, and have seen nothing about July 4th celebrations. Democrat activists would rather celebrate Bastille Day, the beginning of the awful, bloody, anti-democratic and anti-Christian French Revolution, than Independence Day. I think that says all we need to know about them.
MORE: If you haven't been to their site lately, scoot on over there. They have a banner up depicting President Bush as a leggy, high-stepping drum major marching over the graves at Arlington. Another banner proudly promotes the Bastille Day celebration. There's also a blurb of a story defending Cynthia McKinney (who's still an idiot). Must be seen to be believed.
