Letter: Left-wing wrong to criticize Bush

Thursday, May 23, 2002 | 8:57 a.m.

It didn't take long for President Bush's opponents, the devilcrats in Congress, to show their true colors. Even before the man took office, the left-wing losers have been trying to ruin W. with the most trivial of gossip. Now, with the advent of 9/11, their tactics have sunk to an all-time low.

The implication that Bush somehow knew the al-Qaida was going to attack America at a specific time is ludicrous. This country receives millions of threats. It's impossible to react to something that has not occurred yet. In a free country, there will always be risks. You cannot turn the U.S. into a police state because of terrorism or the threat of what might happen.

The American people know integrity when they see it. They also know treachery when they see it. Bush's enemies, both here and abroad, will use whatever they've got to ruin his presidency and the United States. The very future of our country is at risk and what are the devilcrats trying to do? Score political points.

The president has acted properly throughout this crisis. The devilcrats who try to sabotage Bush will be revealed as traitors to the USA.
