Joan of Arc did less whining at the stake. Whether crying “depression” in the midst of a robust economy, spewing defeat into the face of progress in Iraq or fanning the flames of the recent west coast inferno, today’s Democrat hack puts General George Patton to shame. When asked about the position of the U.S. between Germany and Russia during World War II, he declared, “We should attack in both directions and wipe out all those sonofabitches while we still can”. The liberal Left in this country has gone Patton one better. They are attacking in all directions at once, not just two. They will lie, cheat and even subvert the American way of life to achieve the power they so wantonly crave.
Their technique is simple and well-proven. As Hitler’s propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbles said, “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.” It was true then, it is true now. Evidence a few close friends I had over last weekend. As sometimes happens, our discussion turned political. One of the scary things I’ve come to realize is that most of my friends are Liberal Democrats; the scarier thing that became evident during their visit was the extent to which these otherwise intelligent people have bought into the list of Left Wing talking points. They’ve swallowed the media’s agenda hook, line and sinker, without even realizing it! Everything was wrong…and better someplace else. To hear them tell it, you’d think we were living in Poland circa 1939 instead of the greatest, most prosperous country on earth!
Last week, the only thing moving with greater destructive force than the California wildfires was the Democrats’ ability to politicize tragedy. Their ability to feed politics into the jaws of disaster, while completely ignoring human suffering, is downright heartless. They did it with Katrina, used the same callous tactic to undermine the success of our troops and now, faster than you can say Santa Ana Winds, they created a ‘three-fer”. The liberal elite not only got to engage in some Bush bashing but they rose to new heights in tearing down Iraq and energizing the global warming hoax, using only this single event. As an added bonus, they kept the kooks that issue their marching orders from MoveOn.org happy too. What a value! And speaking of values they clearly have none or any sense of human compassion, either. Before the flames were extinguished or the victims’ tears even dry, the likes of Barbara Boxer [who said there were too few National Guard troops on hand because of Iraq deployment...NOT], Harry Reid [who played the global warming card] and California Lt. Governor John Garamendi [who took foolish delight in taking leave of his senses] demonstrated the results of their collective lobotomies. Welcome to the idiots’ convention John. No wonder Congress sports only an 11% approval rating.
Now Hillary, Mrs. Clinton is crying foul. After months of ducking meaningful questions and wanting to be just one of the guys, she tripped over a lip Tuesday night at the Democrat audition (a.k.a. debate). A few people took note of her clumsiness and provoked supporters to the new battle cry of, “Hey, don’t hit the girl!” From everything I’ve researched about her caustic manner, it seems “the girl” can dish it out but can’t take it. Suddenly she’s not tough anymore; she’s a victim. Gee, that’s a quality I’ve always looked for in a president! I’m sure Ahmadinejad and a few other swarthy, Middle Eastern types bent on our annihilation will find it endearing, too.
With Halloween just behind and the election barely 12 months ahead, the time has come to publicly unmask those who present a danger to America at this pivotal point in our history. Both Republicans and Democrats need to start dealing with real issues and Conservatives must return to their roots. None of our candidates represent a completely Conservative philosophy but on defining issues like The War On Terror, health care, immigration and tax reform, Fred, Rudy and Mitt at least project an understanding of the problem. They even offer a solution or two.
I’m still waiting for the first idea from the Democrats that doesn’t endanger the country or further erode our precious liberty. There is too much at stake to waste time and energy on self-indulgence or childish whining. I would like to see candidates of all political stripe, finally, begin acting like they deserve to sit in the most powerful chair in the world…instead of on the curb.
