A Year of Double-Standards

sdk7x7

[sdk7x7]

UNFORTUNATELY, THIS YEAR WAS ONCE AGAIN FILLED WITH DOUBLE-STANDARDS AT THE EXPENSE OF CONSERVATIVES AND REPUBLICANS.

* BUSH WAS BASHED BY THE MEDIA, PUBLIC, AND CELEBS AS BEING A WARMONGER... NO ONE MADE A BIG DEAL OVER THE FACT THAT BUSH SIGNED A LANDMARK AGREEMENT WITH VLADIMIR PUTIN THAT WOULD REDUCE BOTH COUNTRY'S NUCLEAR ARSENALS BY 2/3! WHAT TYPE OF WARMONGER WOULD TAKE SUCH A GIGANTIC STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION?

* TRENT LOTT CAME UNDER EXTREMELY HEAVY FIRE FOR SAYING THAT THE U.S. WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER OFF IF STROM THURMOND HAD BECOME PRESIDENT... YET THE MEDIA WAS NEARLY SILENT WHEN, A FEW WEEKS LATER, SEN. PATTY MURRAY (D) PRAISED BIN LADEN FOR HIS CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE THIRD WORLD AND BASHED THE UNITED STATES FOR SIMPLY "BOMBING" SUCH NATIOONS.

* PRESIDENT BUSH WAS ACCUSED OF WARMONGERING WHEN HE TRIED TO MAKE THE CASE AGAINST SADDAM, AN EVIL DICTATOR... BUT NO ONE SAID A WORD ABOUT THE FACT THAT CLINTON HAD DONE THE SAME THING IN 1998 IN IRAQ AND ALSO IN KOSOVE WITH SLOBODAN MILOSEVIC.

* SEN. HILLARY CLINTON CONTINUED TO ASK WHAT BUSH KNEW ABOUT 9/11 BEFORE IT HAPPENED, DESPITE OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE THAT HER HUSBAND DID VIRTUALLY NOTHING TO STOP OSAMA BIN LADEN AFTER ATTACKS ON THE WORLD TRADE CENTER, USS COLE, AND AMERICAN EMBASSIES IN KENYA AND TANZANIA.

* DASCHLE AND GORE ACCUSED THE WASHINGTON TIMES AND THE FOX NEWS CHANNEL OF SIMPLY SPEWING FORTH REPUBLICAN TALKING POINTS, WHILE THE NEW YORK TIMES ANNOUNCED YESTERDAY: "THIS IS THE FIRST IN A FOUR PART SERIES ABOUT POTENTIAL DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES.

* AND FINALLY: THE LEFT BLAMED GEORGE W. BUSH FOR CURRENT BAD ECONOMY, DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE ECONOMIES OF JAPAN AND EUROPE SUFFER AS WELL AND THE FACT THAT ALL HONEST ECONOMISTS HAVE SAID THE RECESSIONS STARTED PrIoR TO BUSH TAKING OFFICE.

HOPE ALL THE FReepers OUT THERE HAVE A GREAT NEW YEAR. IF THERE ARE ANY EVENTS GOING ON IN N.Y. STATE OR NYC, LET ME KNOW.
