I spent most of the day beating my head against a wall. Figuratively speaking that is. I dared respond to website claiming that President Bush’s visit to New Orleans delayed delivery of food and disaster supplies. Of course, I countered with the Red Cross being forced to sit on the sidelines by the Louisiana Dept of Homeland Security. Big mistake – trying to confront a Liberal with facts is like trying to make Michael Moore stop eating. I ended up in an email duel with someone that’s sole purpose in life is to bash President Bush. In my head, I knew it was a lost cause but my heart said, “Fight back”.
After being blasted with “facts” from Wikipedia (the online encyclopedia that anyone and their toddler can edit), I gave up. I could only take being told, “You probably didn’t make it past 8th grade” for so long. The old Liberal game of name-calling and insults gave me a stomachache.
After a 30-minute shower and some Mylanta, I began thinking about all of the ridiculous claims and finger pointing that has continued since August 28. So much hate and nastiness while bodies of the poor souls that were unable to escape Hurricane Katrina’s wrath floated in the toxic water. It was a morbid undercurrent of disgusting glee from the Liberals – maybe all the dead and suffering would finally be President Bush’s downfall. It began with Robert Kennedy Jr’s bogus rant that President Bush’s environmental policies caused the hurricane. And it has gone downhill from there.
Unlike the Republicans from years ago, I cannot be silent any longer. I cannot take this continuous disrespectful, hateful nastiness and vat of lies any more. I could spend the next three days writing individual letters to those that have participated in the dance of glee for the ravages of the hurricane. My anger is much too high to take that length of time to get my message out there. So here goes…
I am sick and tired of you on the Left calling MY President names and impugning his integrity. I have had enough of the incessant bleats of “selected – not elected” and “not my President”. You do not deserve a President that takes his oath of office seriously and puts America first. You do not deserve a President that makes faith a priority in his life. You do not deserve a President that operates from a position of high moral clarity. You deserve a President that thinks only of him and what he can get out of being in the highest office in the land. You deserve a President that has no moral clarity and lies about lies about lies. You deserve a President who thinks that terrorism should take a back seat to his legacy. Wait a minute…You had that for 8 years.
I could care less about issues of “black and white”. In my world, there are no color boundaries. I may not like you but it is not because of your skin color. Playing the race card to such an extent as it has been in the post-Katrina environment is beyond the point of despicable. I am just waiting for one of the African American leaders to lie about an attack on a young black girl by young white men in order to stir the racism pot. Wait a minute…that has already happened.
I am disgusted by your lack of integrity. To heck with the truth, you just can’t handle it. The truth hurts because it means that President Bush is not a failure. I am surprised that you have not stooped to the level of stealing, forgeries and lies bigger than any fisherman could dream about. I am just waiting for a story to hit the media about someone stuffing top-secret documents in their socks and pants to shift the blame for September 11, 2001 to the Bush Administration. Wait a minute…that has already happened.
I am appalled at your blatant hatred of 51% of Americans and America. The name of the game is to get back in power. Bad things happening to Americans are good in a Liberal’s point of view. More death and destruction means lower approval ratings for the President. I am just waiting for you to convince a grieving mother to defile her son’s proud military service by saying that “America is not worth dying for”. I dread the day that anti-war protestors stage demonstrations with “Maimed for a Lie” posters outside of Walter Reed Hospital where soldiers are recuperating. What a minute…you’ve already done that.
Nothing you do anymore surprises me. It still makes me sick but the shock value has worn off. It makes me sad to see MY country that I love and support tarnished with the poisonous venom spewed from you. It breaks my heart to hear you claim to support the soldiers while claiming they have murdered thousands of innocent Iraqis. My final words to you should sound familiar – they are the same as your darling Teresa Heinz Kerry. Just shove it you idiot scumbags.
Why do you waste your time worrying what 10% think?
I wonder what Lance Armstrong would think about that?
You'll never see it. They'll just change the subject and find some new "high crime".
Unfortunately, don't hold your breath. They deserve all the opprobrium we can muster, but don't expect their "moral clarity" to be confused by facts. Especially not inconvenient facts.
Good rant. But why no cheese after the shower?
I received this email yesterday and thought I would pass it along:
One of the largest storms in history hit New Orleans on Monday. Chaos broke out on Tuesday and Wednesday. There was flooding, small arms fire, looting, massive destruction, loss of all utilities and city services. By Thursday and Friday the situation was being stabilized. By Saturday, law and order had been restored; we were receiving pictures of New Orleans residents bowling in Baton Rouge, being placed on cruise ships, and arriving safely in Houston, St. Louis, and Indianapolis. Ten days later, their children have new clothes, new books, new haircuts, and they are heading for school in Houston. Thousands of responders have secured the city and efforts are underway to re-engineer and permanently improve the city drainage system. Whether you choose to see success or failure here is largely a matter of your personal point of view and a reflection of your level of personal experience. Personally, I think this is an incredible success story, and I believe that the rapid rescue of New Orleans is additional evidence that we live in a great country.
You'll never see it. I saw a black female reporter on TV who started by saying that Bush delayed shipping supplies to NOLA so that blacks would suffer and when the absurdity and baselessnes of that claim was proved she countered that it didn't matter because relief was delayed in getting to these people, for whatever reason. What mattered was that Bush was happy to see blacks suffer!
Actually, that's a good thing. Given you can only be elected to the Office of President twice, then GWB can run again in '08.
Never understood why some freepers quote that drivel of a source either.
On-line discussions are not meant to change the mind of the challenger. On the other hand, he lurkers' minds are changeable.
If a conservative exposes his position with facts and logic, he will be appealing to the large middle of undecided or uninformed lurkers.
I applaud any conservative who takes his time to engage a liberal when such possibility exists. I don't have the patience or the inclination to do it, but I admire the folks who do it.
More like 48% stupidity by the last election and it only takes few more uniformed shep to sway the next election.
If the President won't defend himself, you might as well give it a rest.
I remember when Clinton got his top people gathered around him to tell the nation they each believed he did not have sex with that woman. Each one put his own credibility on the line to stick up for their leader.
I don't hear so much as a cricket from the Bush cabinet. Nobody in Washington besides Laura Bush has spoken up in hearty defense of President Bush.
Like they would ever admit it.
They are wrong so often they have it down to a science.
Throwing smoke bombs like Watergate, and iran contra bla blah, soon you’ll find yourself trying to correct so many factual errors and gross abortions of logic on so many issues you’ll drive yourself nuts by the end and they will be just as vacuous and eager as before. I have managed to debate a few people out of thinking communism was a good idea, and gun ownership is not only a right of Americans but also a duty and good idea generally but those victories are rare, and fair people few and far between.
Choose your battles wisely.
Never underestimate the power of ignorant people in large groups.
