Is This Good or Bad?

I know dissent is the "highest form of patriotism" according to the Left. Jefferson never said that, but no matter. It excuses horrible behavior so it will remain on the bumpers of our Left.

Still, I have to ask, can we question the patriotism of the people responsible for this act:

Two military helicopters were vandalized on the production line at a Boeing factory near Philadelphia, the Defense Department said Thursday as it offered a reward.


Does actually harming our war effort rise beyond mere "dissent"? I really want to know. Because in theory there must be a dividing line between really vigorous dissent and actual treason. Our Left hasn't seen fit to define that line but surely this crosses it, doesn't it?

Who am I kidding? The guys involved will probably get a Profile in Courage Award as well as a Nobel Peace Prize! And if they write about it, a Pulitzer, too.

Or maybe I'm too cynical. Maybe this is a good sign. Maybe those responsible have actually given up hope that our Congress will lose the war for us and decided they needed to take direct action.
