It's interesting how the first woman elected to Congress, Jeannette Rankin, managed to vote against both World Wars despite only serving two terms. She was the only vote against WWII, just like Barbara Lee would be the only vote against Afghanistan 60 years later.

After the vote an angry mob followed her, and she was forced to hide in a telephone booth and then called congressional police to rescue her. Jeez. I think liberals don't realize sometimes that their beliefs could lead some to think that they are not just someone with opposing views, but that they make themselves into enemy combatants of the country due to radical views.

Wait, how is opposing entering a war "making oneself into an enemy combatant of the country"?

Well we've slid it in as "conscientious objectors" but I'm sure there were many, many Americans who felt betrayed.

That's not what "enemy combatant" means. I feel betrayed by your very existence, but you're not an enemy combatant.
