A good reason to get serious

Last week, I wrote that the left and the Democratic party are not serious.

I think President Bush’s weekend trifecta of Saturday’s radio message, Sunday’s speech and Monday’s presser was his plea to the left to “get serious” about the war on terror, to “get serious” about winning, and to “get serious” about the threats that face us.

There is nothing, of course, indicating that the Dems and the left are serious, still, about national security or the war. All indicators are that the left is serious about only two things: 1) Destroying George W. Bush and 2) attaining power by any means necessary.

But troubling stories like this one remind us of why it is so imperative that the president keep asking the left to “get serious.”

And this one – another reason to get serious.

UPDATE: Not to say that every liberal is not serious…of course, many are, but they are not given much notice, these days – Julie at Happy Catholic notices one, here.
