This is Zell Miller signing books. Remember his fiery speech at the Republican National Convention? An excerpt:
It is the soldier, not the agitator, who has given us the freedom to protest.It is the soldier who salutes the flag, serves beneath the flag, whose coffin is draped by the flag, who gives that protester the freedom to abuse and burn that flag.
No one should dare to even think about being the Commander in Chief of this country if he doesn’t believe with all his heart that our soldiers are liberators abroad and defenders of freedom at home.
But don’t waste your breath telling that to the leaders of my party today. In their warped way of thinking America is the problem, not the solution.
They don’t believe there is any real danger in the world except that which America brings upon itself through our clumsy and misguided foreign policy.
It is not their patriotism – it is their judgment that has been so sorely lacking. They claimed Carter’s pacifism would lead to peace.
They were wrong.

As a general attitude, I’m sure that much of what Zell Miller says is true about his party. Still, it did my heart good to hear that Sen. Dodd and Rep. Frank, both Democrats, stood up for our soldiers when Eason Jordan slandered them. I’m sure they are not all perfect [if we've had governors put in jail, there's bound to be a few soldiers who are bad apples], yet for the most part, I think our men and women in the service are heroes.
Zell is great!
