What has Cheney been up to lately? I'd like to see him shred someone again. I haven't seen that happen since the Vice-Presidential debate.
Exactly. Every time the MSM/DNC/CIA coalition attacks the war effort, it encourages the terrorists to kill more people. They are directly responsible for those deaths, many times over.
Every time the MSM/DNC/CIA coalition pushes a prison torture story, or a Koran flushed down the toilet story, it results in numerous deaths. They are criminally culpable for these deaths.
There is no naivete or innocence about this. Every time Democrat Senators say that Bush lied to start the war, they encourage our enemies. They known damned well that their charges are false. These people who claim Bush falsified the intelligence reports didn't even bother to read the intelligence reports, and many of them didn't bother to attend the meetings.
Bush has let the press falsify the record because he has refused to speak the truth. He should have been doing that for the past five years. It takes two to make peace, but it only takes one to fight a war, and the Democrats have been fighting an all-out war for the past 20 or 30 years, no holds barred.
Cheney is great, and I love everything about him, BUT he is NOT the POTUS .. this is a job for President Bush and only President Bush.
Boom... out comes the 'Peace Mom' and the MSM attack begins. Then it's NOLA, where Bush is unfairly savaged by the Dems & the MSM. Even though the blame rests on state and local officials... Bush accepts full responsibility.
On the heels of that comes the self-destructive Miers pick... then Plame/Rove... and a Democrat assault on Bush's reasons for going into Iraq. All through this MSM/DNC concocted nonsense... Bush is silent... and his numbers plummet. I wouldn't of believed it... if I didn't see it.
Brilliant article. I expect the BushBots to be out in force any time now to trash it.
His enemies include the entire Democrat establishment (with the sole exception of Senator Lieberman), all the major daily newspapers and all three of the old line television broadcasting networks. Their hatred for him is white hot. They will remain implacably hostile even if he blows them kisses and throws roses at their feet. They will view everything he does and everything he says through the prism of their hostility. He has nothing to lose by telling the truth about them.
I don't think pandering to the Left is what Jesus meant by "turning the other cheek".
Turn your own cheek, President, but not America's or our men in uniform. We need to be DEFENDED against All enemies foreign and DOMESTIC.
A great piece of writing.
Right on target.
Kudoes to J. Peter Mulhern!
.Blatantly stupid lines like this may be harmless if they are just thrown in for effect, but if they indicate the President's actual thinking, they reflect a dangerous defect in judgment.
For America's sake, let us pray this kind of schmaltz is just a throwaway line.
Such rhetorical nambi-pambiness has the effect of taking all of the force out of everything else he says.
The beatings should continue until the attitude changes.
True. Bush was often attacked earlier--National Guard, Weapongate, capital punishment in Texas, rich oilman, and especially Enron, which was an all-out Watergate type propaganda campaign. He managed to get through these, but I think it weakened him as well as discrediting the MSM. Finally, it started to take effect. Miers was an important factor, because unlike all those other attacks, Bush himself supplied the ammunition for that attack by failing to do his homework.
Also, he really reacted the wrong way with Katrina. He acted as if he was guilty, when he should have counterattacked, pointed out that constitutionally he was not a first responder, and that he could not go in until Blanco gave her permission. He should also have pointed out that Blanco delayed the evacuation, which was only started after he spoke out. It's not his job to evacuate, it's hers and Nagin's. Pointing fingers is never pretty, but he should not have stood there while everyone pointed at him and not explained the constitutional and legal realities of the situation.
Frankly, he also needed to attack the lies spread by the press. No one has ever apologized for all those lies and errors, and few people even know about them.
I too would like to see the truth thrown back in their faces.
DemocRATS say such stupid lies against America they deserve to be defeated totally. Please Mr. President, remember your oath to the Constitituion....... your duty is to attack these ememies of America.
I know FR fights the domestic alot but we need help, Mr. President.... just do it!!!!! Your base is depending on you.
He will. He just holds his cards close to his chest. He lets them go to blabber and froth at the mouth then he comes in like Superman and blows them all away. They are all so stupid they fall for it over and over and over again. I love it!
lOVED those debates. Wonder if gore, kerry, edwards ever look at those debates like I do. I enjoy mine so much. Wonder if they do? Heh, heh. At least Leiberman is a man of his word.
look at the stupid yet arrogant look on gore's face. This is a tape of the debate I LOVE to watch over and over.
Also on the bottom most debates kerry looked like he was trying to write a book or something. Too bad his notes didn't help him
I my plan Jim, I will place my arrogance in a tiny locked box.
