Democrats Vow to Fight On After Zarqawi Loss
California Conservative ^ | 6/9/2006 | Scott Ott

When humor works best to serve up the news, Scott Ott reports:

(2006-06-09) — As Blackberry devices and cell phones on Capitol Hill hummed with news of the death of terrorist leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi yesterday, Congressional Democrats vowed that despite the loss they would fight on in “the war on the war on terror.”

“Zarqawi will be missed because he put a human face on the futility of the illegal U.S. occupation of Iraq,” said one unnamed lawmaker, who assured a reporter that “Democrats are still optimistic. We’re still looking for the silver lining.”

Rep. John Murtha, D-PA, a former Marine and vocal critic of the military occupation of Iraq, immediately denounced “the Zarqawi massacre” and suggested that the F-16 pilot who dropped the bombs had snapped under pressure and murdered the al Qaeda leader “in cold blood.”

Sen. Arlen Specter, R-PA, demanded an explanation of the secret intelligence gathering techniques and surveillance used to find Mr. Zarqawi.

“I want to give the president an opportunity to explain the program to the Congress and to assure the American people that nobody’s civil rights were violated,” said Sen. Specter.

Meanwhile, Democrat National Committee Chairman Howard Dean and former presidential candidate Al Gore observed a moment of silence as they heard of the passing of Mr. Zarqawi, a fellow Internet pioneer.

Publisher’s note: If it sounds plausible, maybe it is.

it borders on reality, but, yes, it is (allegedly) humor.

We have to ask why do the rats act this way. Hillery (not that I like her, but I like what she says about the war against terrorism) gets lambasted by the left when she says anything good about it. Why do they act this way? Dain bramage? Commies? Socialist? Haters of God and Country?

Peacemoonbeam? Is that an offspring of Frank Zappa? These words and actions are treasonous. Free speech is one thing but this is beyond being a traitor. The Rule or Burn way of politics. If the Demorats can't rule they will burn us to the ground. Unreal.

Right now, our troops are in Iraq trying to build a relationship with the Iraqi people. We are asking them to train to be police and soldiers. We are asking them to show us where the bad guys are. Then people like Murtha and Coward Dean go around yelling, 'we need to pull out of Iraq'. The Iraqi people know that Al Quada has no plans on pulling out. Why do we want to send a sign that says we want to pull out before our enemy?

I see the demorats as traitors.

Everything posted on here has been parody, including PeaceMoonBeam, although all are a little too close to accurate.

Usually I'd laugh and say, OK, another scrappleface parody.

But this is too close to the truth. Pure evil stalks our nation's halls of power.

May God help us now as He has helped us before.

It's too close to reality to be effective satire.

The Democrats just repeat the talking points they get from Usama's Cave every morning, noon, and night. The trouble is that the American people want these dunces in power, according to the UCDPA (Usama Cave Direct Polling Agency).

That's what I am saying Johnny7. I didn't really laugh and believe I have a great sense of humor.

It is evil. Evil that wants to kill the unborn human in the womb, but that evil will fight to keep a spotted owl's egg alive. It is evil that wants to remove God from public view. When God has been removed, who will remember that we have God given rights (inalienable rights)? Who will remember that no man or Government has the authority to take those rights away? It is evil that wishes to take my gun away so evil can be perpetrated upon my family and I will be unable to defend them. It is evil and it must be stopped.

Peacemoonbeam is satire. Very good satire. They've captured the belief system and values of the left and clearly expose them for what they are.
