As democrats and their fervent mouth-pieces coalesce about the rotting carcass of the Bush administration:more Bush-bashing is like kicking a dead horse and screaming obscenities.
Those who oppose the War are self-honoring cretins removed from any patriotic obligation to fight for preservation of the last best hope of this earth. As their legions of leftists convene with MSM in tow, dictators and terrorists cheer that the old style Americanism with its macho belief in the efficacy of the US military is passe. In its place will be the pants-suiters and pacifists and trial attorneys negotiating appeasement with Iran and Venezuela, while reassuring Castro that his model for health care is best for America and the world. As they cheer Wall Street's demise and cajole hedge-funds which pay ridiculous salaries these democrats seek to destroy jobs for the poor with their minimum wage laws(in the name of compassion.)
Their only bet is that Bush hatred due to Gore-Kerry's losses and manipulation of the black vote by Katrina nonsense, while seeking Hispanic votes by pushing amnesty and charging Repubs with racism: no nobility in this. Mesmerizing spin teaches the school children that Bush lied and men died for nothing(according to the peace mom-candidate for Congress.)
But surprise of all surprises: Love will conquer All. And as these Haters beat and kick the dead horse of Bush-bashing, conscience citizens will see through their disingenuous antics:
1) America should have taken out Saddam and entered Iraq to stabilize that area of the world: that's why Biden and Hillary supported it. There is no real shame in the premise of the War or its orderly conclusion(en route) as Iran and Iraq ministers are meeting now.
2) Immigration pandering will back-fire on Democrats who will ultimately lose blacks and middle white America by pimping for benefits for undocumented workers.
3) The world will remain still post-Bush, a dangerous place with terrorism and two super-powers (China and USA). We need to enact public policies which promote trade and provide economic growth for the people of countries mired in revolutions, civil wars, and poverty. Not from a position of fear and appeasement. But from a consideration of the Love weapon to end all wars instead of skillfully glib pretenders who want the White House to uphold the interests of trial lawyers, and foreign governments.
