The Stuff Democrats Are Made Of

David Gelernter has written an excellent piece in the Los Angeles Times about the importance of knowing history. He called Democrat Dick Durbin's comparison of the Guantanamo Bay detention center to Stalin's gulag and to the death camps of Hitler and Pol Pot "an astonishing, obscene piece of ignorance".

Durbin, the No. 2 ranking Democrat in the Senate, is not only ignorant. He is irresponsible. This is the stuff of which the Leftist Democrats are made of.
