Now the Clintonistas Want War

It is most appalling that former Clinton officials, having given away the store to the North Koreans, and having led the protests against the continuation and full development of our ‘Starwars’ anti-missile defense system, should now be calling for the USA to “shoot down” any attempt by them to launch a long range missile. What do they have in mind; for us to bomb their missile launch facilities if we detect a final fueling? Do they not realize that this is an act of war that could lead to disastrous consequences at a time when we are fully committed to a War on Terror that stretches military resources - also cut back during the Clinton years?

The mindset of the typical Democrat has had me scratching my head over and over again through the years. If we had continued the Reagan inspired missile defense system, we might well now have the capability to intercept it in flight, which is not an act of war but an act of defense. We may well actually have this capability; I hope so, but I do not think it possible given the defunding of the program, again, during the Clinton years.

Two things are for sure: 1. if the North Koreans do fire their missile, we’d better not shoot at it unless we are virtually certain that we can bring it down, and 2. we should take some of the money being wasted on the slugs in New Orleans and redirect it to Starwars. We’ll cut down on corruption, and our children will be safer.

Democrats always support us going to war under two conditions: We fight with our hands tied behind our backs, and we cut and run if things get hairy.

Of course they want us to start a war against the NKs (and hopefully get the Chinese involved). It gives them more opportunity re-gain power ("Bush/Rs are gonna kill us all!!"), at which point they can surrender and we can all live happily ever after in a diverse global community!

It's really not that hard to understand... Democrat voters think like children, and their Party represents the "Mommy Party". Democrats want instant gratification and don't care how they get it. They are just as happy if the mechanism for their happiness was constructed by people that they otherwise HATE. They see no irony in that. In fact, they consider themselves clever, as if the "got one over on the Man."

Republicans are the adults, and the Republican heiarchy (with some notable exceptions) represents the "Daddy Party." Apologies to PJ O'Rourke.

And the talking heads say, "Oh, now we must bomb Korea".

Yeah, and those words come from the world of terrorist idiocy that says, I wanna see the U.S. destroyed. The powers in Asia best take care of the problem before they become toast at the hand of reckless Korea...
