Barney Frank: Keeping in touch with his constituency
Posted on 07/22/2006 6:27:33 AM PDT by ohhhh
I knew the events in the Middle East were big when The New York Times devoted nearly as much space to them as it did to a New York court ruling last week rejecting gay marriage.
Some have argued that Israel's response is disproportionate, which is actually correct: It wasn't nearly strong enough. I know this because there are parts of South Lebanon still standing.
Most Americans have been glued to their TV sets, transfixed by Israel's show of power, wondering, "Gee, why can't we do that?"
Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean says that "what's going on in the Middle East today" wouldn't be happening if the Democrats were in power. Yes, if the Democrats were running things, our cities would be ash heaps and the state of Israel would have been wiped off the map by now.
But according to Dean, the Democrats would have the "moral authority that Bill Clinton had" — no wait! keep reading — "when he brought together the Israelis and Palestinians." Clinton really brokered a Peace in Our Time with that deal — "our time" being a reference to that five-minute span during which he announced it. Yasser Arafat immediately backed out on all his promises and launched the second intifada.
The fact that Israel is able to launch an attack on Hezbollah today without instantly inciting a multination conflagration in the Middle East is proof of what Bush has accomplished. He has begun to create a moderate block of Arab leaders who are apparently not interested in becoming the next Saddam Hussein.
There's been no stock market crash, showing that the markets have confidence that Israel will deal appropriately with the problem and that it won't expand into World War III.
But liberals can never abandon the idea that we must soothe savage beasts with appeasement — whether they're dealing with murderers like Willie Horton or Islamic terrorists. Then the beast eats you.
There are only two choices with savages: Fight or run. Democrats always want to run, but they dress it up in meaningless catchphrases like "diplomacy," "detente," "engagement," "multilateral engagement," "multilateral diplomacy," "containment" and "going to the U.N."
I guess they figure, "Hey, appeasement worked pretty well with ... uh ... wait, I know this one ... ummm ... tip of my tongue ..."
Democrats like to talk tough, but you can never trap them into fighting. There is always an obscure objection to be raised in this particular instance — but in some future war they would be intrepid! One simply can't imagine what that war would be.
Democrats have never found a fight they couldn't run from.
On "Meet the Press" last month, Sen. Joe Biden was asked whether he would support military action against Iran if the Iranians were to go "full-speed-ahead with their program to build a nuclear bomb."
No, of course not. There is, Biden said, "no imminent threat at this point."
According to the Democrats, we can't attack Iran until we have signed affidavits establishing that it has nuclear weapons, but we also can't attack North Korea because it may already have nuclear weapons. The pattern that seems to be emerging is: "Don't ever attack anyone, ever, for any reason. Ever."
The Democrats are in a snit about North Korea having nukes, with Howard Dean saying Democrats are tougher on defense than the Republicans because since Bush has been president, North Korea has "quadrupled their nuclear weapons stash."
It wasn't that difficult. Clinton gave the North Koreans $4 billion to construct nuclear reactors in return for the savages promising not to use the reactors to build bombs. But oddly, despite this masterful triumph of "diplomacy," the savages did not respond with good behavior. Instead, they immediately set to work feverishly building nuclear weapons.
But that's another threat the Democrats do not think is yet ripe for action.
On "Meet the Press" last Sunday, Sen. Biden lightly dismissed the North Koreans, saying their "government's like an eighth-grader with a small bomb looking for attention" and that we "don't even have the intelligence community saying they're certain they have a nuclear weapon."
Is that the test? We need to have absolute certainty that the North Koreans have a nuclear weapon capable of hitting California with Kim Jong Il making a solemn promise to bomb the U.S. (and really giving us his word this time, no funny business) before we — we what? If they have a nuclear weapon, what do we do then? Is a worldwide thermonuclear war the one war Democrats would finally be willing to fight?
Democrats won't acknowledge the existence of "an imminent threat" anyplace in the world until a nuclear missile is 12 minutes from New York. And then we'll never have the satisfaction of saying "I told you so" because we'll all be dead.

This is post #6 for this article, how many times do we need to see this? http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/search?q=quick&m=all&o=time&s=LIBERALS%3A+BORN+TO+RUN&find=Find
LOL, I knew this was a dupe, but not that it was the Sixth posting.

Some don't have time to search back to see what they have missed. Just have the time to check in to see what is new.

I didn't need the link. I think I made it clear that I already knew this article was posted before. I didn't post it, I was merely pointing out that anyone who wants to play moderator should actually apply for the job and know the rules, and BTW, here's a frickin' clue for you, if you don't want to see it every time it is posted, don't click on it.
You may not know it but the only way you can read an article is to click on it. Try not clicking on articles you have already read and it will keep you from having the urge to be the moderator and trying to force your version of the rules on other FReepers.
How come you haven't been banished yet, troll?
The Colt.45 puts another round in the liberal psychos.
[The Colt.45 puts another round in the liberal psychos.]
Ha Ha. Liberals only evoke rules when they try to hide or ignore truth, and so they so hate Ann (Colt .45) so much they literally go into rages whenever she speaks or writes of the propaganda or idiotic belief systems. She knows a death cult when she see's one.
I pray the Lord Jesus Christ will keep her from the evil athiest/socialists of America; along with us also.

Barney Frank: Keeping in touch with his constituency
This article is one of Ann Coulter's best. It's worth repeating.
Ann Coulter sure doesn't mince words. She is bombastic but is on target on this. WE won't be here if we're wiped out.
It's all Bush's fault (sarcasm). After all, Bush failed to connect the dots before Sept 11th. Then, with the surveillance of terrorists, he's broken the law to do that with the NSA phone records and financial dealings of terrorists. So you apparently have to connect dots in a certain way, according to these Democrats. If we connect the dots in a way that Nancy Pelosi and Howard Dean don't approve of, then it doesn't count.
Remember John Kerry said we have to fight a more "sensitive" war on terror? John Kerry will be careful not to connect the dots in a bad way if he is ever elected President. I wonder how Hillary will connect the dots to deter terrorism if she ever gets her hands on power?
More words of wisdom from Ann.Ck out "Treason" for the low down on libs.
Ann has a knack for hitting the liberal weaknesses that are myriad and ripe for smacking down. Her talent for hitting the target is why liberals despise her. I second your prayer.
