NYTIMES AND JOHN MURTHA: COPPERHEADS

WHAT'S A COPPERHEAD? HERE:
"The Copperheads were a faction of Democrats in the North who opposed the American Civil War, wanting an immediate peace settlement with the Confederates ... They were also called "Peace Democrats" ... The most famous Copperhead was Ohio's Clement L. Vallandigham, who was a vehement opponent of Lincoln's policies."
VALLANDIGHAM:
... denounced "King Lincoln," calling for Abraham Lincoln's removal from the presidency [Sounds like Feingold and Sheehan and Moore]. ... To those who supported the war he declared, "Defeat, debt, taxation [and] sepulchres - these are your trophies." [Sounds just like Dean and Kennedy and Pelosi and Reid.] ...

On May 5 he was arrested as a violator of General Order No. 38. ... General Ambrose E. Burnside had issued General Order Number 38, warning that the "habit of declaring sympathies for the enemy" would not be tolerated in the Military District of Ohio...
Had the PEACE CANDIDATE and DEMOCRAT presidential nominee in 1864 - George McClellan - won the election, the confederacy or slavery or both would have survived. There would have been NO "NEW BIRTH OF FREEDOM." There would have been no USA to win either WW1 or WW2 or the Cold War.

Today's so-called "peace Democrats" would have a similarly DISASTEROUS effect on the GWOT. Freedom and suffrage and democracy for 1/6th of humanity would be setback for many MANY generations to come. And we would be made less safe - because retreat would encourgae the enemy by proving to them that their tactics work.

Perhaps it's time that the DOJ enforced our laws as assiduously as Lincoln and Burnside did.
