As we each reflect on that horrific day 4 years ago, we offer prayers for the families of the victims, prayers for God's blessings upon our nation, and we offer support to those in our government and Armed Forces who are working feverishly to prevent and eradicate terrorism.
It is also worthwhile to ponder the "contributions" to the war on terror made by our leading Democrat politicians and by the left-wing organizations that support them. For they too, play a role in forming policy and in driving the news seen on the front pages of our MSM.
Top 7 Liberal Accomplishments Since 9-11
7. Introduced "Why do they Hate Us" to the politcal dialogue
Within days of the attack, every Major Newspaper prominnetly featured numerous op-eds by leftie scholars and politicians who claimed that "we need to understand the rage" against the US. The not so hidden implication being, of course, that we provoked the attack. Standard culpability ranged from our "one-sided" support of Israel, to our domination of pop culture, to the Bush's friendship with the Saudi royals.
6. Doomsaying Afghanistan
Though the rage of the American people forced congress to quickly acquiesce to the Afgahn war, it did not take more than 2 weeks before the commie-left started their counter attack. In addition to "Peace" protests, the left began calling Afghanistan "another vietnam". Supposed scholars were featured on the front pages, telling us that Afghanistan was a place that could not be conquered; that all the great empires failed there. The Dem politicians immediatley began criticising Rumsfeld and Bush's plans.
5. Crucified John Ashcroft
Nevermind that the Patriot Act was passed overwhelmingly in both houses of Congress. As soon as Bush's signature was dry, the democrats began accusing Ashcroft of muslim abuse. They called him every name in the book: Nazi, McCarthyite, racist, etc. They had MORE sympathy for convict-turned jihadi Jose Padilla than for the man in charge of keeping America safe from terror attacks.
4. Sided with the French at the UN
If you read the front pages of the New York Times or listened to any Dem politician from Joe "hairplugs" Biden to Nancy "house of wax" Pelosi, one may have thought that Dominique deVillepin was our commander in chief and GWB was Al Capone. Apparently, showing a united front to the world was too much to ask.
3. Labeled Iraq a Quagmire
Despite Tommy Franks and Don Rumsfeld's brilliant battle plan, all it took was a severe sandstorm during our initial incursion for the left to start tossing around the term "quagmire". Noted NY Times peacenik columnists all of the sudden were military experts. Wesley Clark, John Kerry and the entire slate of a**holes running for the Dem nomination looked like the Monty Python gang in a purse fight, trying to be the fastest to the microphone to condemn the "failure" of our military.
2. Celebrated Abu Ghraib
The logical thing to do upon discovery of some unseemly abuse (that's abuse, not torture) at th Abu Ghraib facility, would have been to quietly press the Pentagon for a full accounting and to punish the few soldiers responsible. Instead, every blowhard Dem politician waved the photos on national TV, with the sole purpose of demoralizing our troops and embarassing the President in a time of war. The worthless left were FAR MORE outraged about underwear on a terrorist's head than they were about the jihadis sawing off the heads of US citzens or hanging their charred corpses from a bridge.
1. Selected John Kerry to run for President
All items listed above in 2 thru 7 can be distilled into this last item. The left pretended to salute Kerry's military service (as worthless as it was), when in fact the were only saluting his later involvement with the most radical of anti-war organizations. This PATHETIC traitor was the choice of democrats to be commander in chief of the United States.
It is the most graphic display of what the left in this country really thinks about September 11, 2001.
This is by far the worst, IMHO..
As disgusting as 2 thru 7 are, I think you are correct.
Fortunately, the Dixie Chicks have been as scarce as hen's teeth on the radio lately!
Made Michael Moore already richer than he was, and gave him a seat of ummm. . . honor at the DNC convention.
To be honest, I'm not sure who is more disgusting, Michael Moore or Jimmuh Carter
Fortunately, the number of conservative Christians are growing, while the liberal socialist churches are shrinking! :o)
Nothing is more critical to the librats as protecting the aura of all things Clinton, especially for the "chosen one" maneuvering for 2008.
Results: Millions of taxpayer dollars wasted, a room full of empty suits including at least one (Gurelick) who is largely complicit in the events leading to 9-11, and a document not worth the paper it's written on.
Support the Troops but not the War.
Unpatriotic to the core yet too cowardly to admit otherwise.
Results: Unfolding- Currently in the form of Cindy Sheehan.
Post Election Sophomoric Rage and Bluster to Move to Canada En Masse
Belies the mentality and emotionally disturbed patterns of the left when they lose power.
Results: It's all Bush's fault and the crickets along the roadways into Canada are still chirping...
Three very good ones, Tad. It should have been a top 10 list!!
IOW...
_____________. Insert crickets here.
Never heard anything from them regarding women in Afghanistan voting or holding office. Nothing about the improvements for women in Iraq, either.
My point is that many on the left use one cause or another to bitch, but if there are ever any advancements as a result of something done by conservatives, they ignore it.
Now doesn't care about Janice Rogers Brown or Condaleeza Rice. Neither does the NAACP.
They are all hypocrites, and care nothing about the damage that they do to this country.
Definitely Moore. Cahta is just stupid. Nice guy, but way too stupid to be in any public role.
Moore is devious. He is not stupid, and does what he does for personal power.
Funny, though, that the left will allow such a filthy fat slob as their trusted spokesperson.
Kinda takes the steam out of their idea of using this disaster as a way to rail against Bush.
They are deeply saddened.
I've heard some of the NAGs (Rush's term for NOW - National Association of Gals) actually say that women were no better off in Afghanistan or Iraq than before.
Gee, they are not rounded into soccer stadiums and executed for wearing makeup, or are not selected by Saddam's sons to be their rape victims; but because the Bush administration isn't passing out condoms and setting up Planned Parenthood offices, things haven't improved.
Michael Moore is a treasonous scumbag. But in theory, he is only adored by the far left fringes. The majority of democrats still think Carter is a great Statesman. The guy is a commie sympathizer.
The whole post hurricane scenario makes me crave a second civil war. I know what side would win.
