I Cannot Sit Quietly Any Longer

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.

What do you expect from DUmmie RATS? They like living in dark damp smelly sewer water chocked full of disease, no electricity or running water, and flushing toilets. They can't see why they are removing these people from such a cozy sounding place.

[GianniV]

They'll always blame Bush! They still blame Nixon and Reagan.

Read my post #35....the tin foil hats are in super spin mode.

Thanks for posting this. The media has just been sickening in their coverage. Much time spent trying to blame Bush, not nearly as much time explaining the amazing evacuation effort. What a marvelous job has been done, and is still being done! Helping people out of the area, setting up shelters, finding places for people to stay on a more permanent basis, taking care of their basic needs. The task has been monumental.

The Federal Government, the relief agencies, and other citizens who have participated in this effort should all be congratulated. If this had happened with a Democrat in the White House, just think how different the coverage of this story would have been!

[PhilipFreneau]

Nice post, good CitizenJ.

[johnny7]

Without the internet... Kerry would have won.

[newfrpr04]

I pretty much agree, but..... It is slowing and hindering his ability to get things done. And this is exactly what the lefties, radicals want and manage to accomplish because we don't call them on it. That lie just keeps getting bigger and bigger that it cripples any efforts

[george wythe]

But like you said, I strongly believe there are dozens of on the fence lurkers who will say "Ah HA!" to a calm bit of logic. That's how I was converted, so to speak.

Same here.

For me, being a conservative means that I can think for myself, that I don't have to follow the party dogma, that I can disagree with my fellow conservatives.

When I do argue with liberals, usually in a face-to-face situation, all I do is to plant a little seed of doubt in their heads, let them start thinking on their own. Eventually, they will walk out of the liberal plantation on their own.

[RedEyeJack]

That ha been the pattern since January 2001...

The "Shots" just keep coming and missing. We have a new one every 1-2 months.

[Not A Snowbird]

Good rant. But why no cheese after the shower?

The moose ate it. Duh!

:-)

Hello, there, newbie!

Lose you caps key?

[GrandEagle]

That lie just keeps getting bigger and bigger that it cripples any efforts
You may have a point, but if you participate you still get nothing done. Look at what happened to Trent Lott. He did nothing wrong except he forgot that his enemies were on the sidelined just waiting to pounce. He stopped to engage in the battle and lost. I still believe that when the truth doesn't matter, there is no point in doing battle.

Cordially,
GE

is it not true that the bush administration did not get relief into the gulf region until friday, 4 days after the hurricane? could not the 82nd airborne been activated to aid in relief efforts, late monday?

If you will remember, there was no emergency in NO till sometime Tuesday after the levees broke. It was Wednesday before the gov of LA would give permission to turn it over to the military. Food and water arrived soon after. Then early Friday the full military arrived and restored order and evacuated all those people in something like 12 hours. Pretty amazing, I'd say. the fact is if the governer hadn't drug her feet help would have arrived BEFORE the hurricane. THIS IS KEY! I'm not shouting. The caps are for emphasis.

New sign on date? You're gonna be trashed for that...

It was a morbid undercurrent of disgusting glee from the Liberals – maybe all the dead and suffering would finally be President Bush’s downfall.

From 'gun control' to bashing the president to earnestly working for this country's downfall, liberals have ever and always been comfortable dancing in the blood of the very victims they've created. It's sick, it's ghoulish, and theose who do so are not fit to live.

[SeaBiscuit]

"I am sick and tired of you on the Left calling MY President..."

I like it! Just one criticism; The "Left" is too generic. How about naming names? We on the right know who they are, but it's about time people start going on record, it's about time we truly question their patriotism, and to do that properly, All Americans need to know those names.

[inquest]

What attempt did Lott make to "engage" his enemies? (I'm assuming you're referring to the Thurmond birthday incident) I don't recall him making a single attempt to elucidate what the hell he was referring to when he suggested that a Thurmond presidency would have prevented a lot of the problems we see nowadays. He was practically inviting people to draw their own conclusions on that, and his reticence naturally would have led people to conclude that he had good reason (from his perspective) not to want people to know what he was thinking when he said it.

[GrandEagle]

What attempt did Lott make to "engage" his enemies?
He didn't try to defend his comment, he tried appeasement with the "apology" of a sort. He would have come out far better just to ignore the whole thing.
