GEORGE W. BUSH AN EPIPHANY ©
by Norman Liebmann
One of the most notorious episodes of World War ll occurred when a one time famous football hero, as an American bomber pilot, did one of the most reprehensible acts a commanding officer can do under fire. His plane took some flak and he bailed out on his crew. It seems a perfect analogy for our lame duck President who will soon be bailing out on America. Indeed, no President ever seemed more poised to leave his country higher and dryer.
We need teams of semanticists to determine whether the Bush Administration is winding down or moving on. In any event, America is slipping away. The Bush mantra seems to be In weakness there is strength. We are moments away from Armageddon and Bush has ODd on compassion. America is in a holding pattern while the administration waits for some Arab fanatic to light the fuse for the unthinkable.
Before leaving office, Bush is divesting control of key elements of American infrastructure to business interests in Swarthyland and Oogalboogladesh. Its apparent his idea that U.S. ports are a liability didnt fly, and he is marking time with regard to liquidating other American assets. Any similar Bush idea coming down the pike is likely to be dead on arrival.
Rather than having the courage of its convictions, the Bush Administration has demonstrated the convictions of its courage. The continuous saber rattling from Iran inspires cringing in Washington. Bush nurses Iraq along while allowing the rest of the Middle East to run foul with the pus of Islam. The War on Terror is impeded by considerations of comfort, convenience and compassion. The latter is by far the most dangerous. (Airports should be equipped with compassion detectors and commiseration sniffing dogs.)
Our President allows psychotics in Iran and Syria to send proxy fanatics to fight Israel while Lebanese civilians volunteer to be collateral damage. Democrats and Republicans whine about how much they hate terrorists. In the words of George Bernard Shaw, Hatred is the cowards revenge for having been intimidated. Super power is defined by who is at the Launch button. It is said, the first insult unanswered is parent to a thousand others. Hugo Chavezs vulgar remarks about Condoleeza Rice should have been enough to spring open the lids on the missile silos.
Europeans reproach the U.S. for Camp Gitmo. In Russias Lubyanka Prison a KGB interrogator can get a signed confession out of a bowling ball. Inevitably bowing to liberal pressure, terrorists henceforth will be detained in cabanas and the name Camp Gitmo will be changed to Geneva Convention-by-the-Seaside. Ultimately Bush might decide that compassion is not enough. The 82nd Airborne will be retrained to have a maternal instinct and sustain themselves in the field with estrogen-laced K Rations. Carrier task forces will bob at anchor like Princess Cruise ships.
Our leader has been overtaken by events. After restraint and compassion hes out of alternatives. His ability to handle North Korea and Irans threat to the civilized world is being met with thermonuclear skepticism. As for the Democrat Party, the nation cannot find a pulse, much less a policy.
INVADERS FROM GUACAMOLE LAND
George W. Bush thinks of himself as another Dr. Livingstone doing missionary work among the heathen. He might consider, twenty minutes after arriving in Africa, Dr. Livingstone swore he was though making house calls. He wants to be remembered in history as the champion of the worlds chronic underachievers. No better way than to have his image sculpted on Mount Mexmore. There is already a motion picture in progress commemorating Bushs efforts in this direction. Filming hasnt begun, but the producers have already completed the English subtitles.
Like Charles Darwin, Bush has an affinity for anything primitive, especially Mexicans who lag behind the Galapagos Islanders who could at least climb trees and tease big lizards. One thing is certain. Bush will leave America as he found it up to its ass in illegal aliens whose mission it is to collapse our culture. Iraq still remains his previous obsession - ignoring the fact that good taste generally limits obsessions one to a customer.
The civilizing process in Iraq, having failed, Bush is moving forward to Anschluss with Mexico. Karl Rove, the Joachim Von Ribbentrop of the Bush Administration, has been sent to woo La Raza (the Hezbollah, of the American Southwest) ostensibly to re-surrender the Alamo. Hence, Bushs scheme to amalgamate all of North America has been de-pantsed. Bush cant wait to hang this albatross around Americas neck - while most of us are hoping to find a way to tie a Windsor knot in it.
[Note: Vote-hungry Democrat and Republican politicians are preparing us for Mexicos re-conquest of America by conditioning us with a sense of racial guilt. Some Americans are now reluctant to refer to themselves as white for fear of offending anyone who isn't.]
The liberals and its media machine keep telling us illegal aliens are wonderful people. It may be true, but it sure as hell is not noticeable. Bush has an irresistible fascination for primitives. If the process of Evolution has failed to coax them out of the trees Bushs blandishments are unlikely to succeed.
Vicente Fox and George Bush are each others poodles. Fox keeps sending his ethnic moths to gnaw holes in the American social fabric, while Bush patiently presides over the dissolution of our nation. Americans are becoming intolerant of excessive tolerance and that will sound Taps for the GOP. (It is doubtful that the Republicans will win the next election. Hillary Clinton will get the illegal alien vote, promising to build an abortion clinic in every alley behind a Taco Bell.)
After leaving office, our vacating President can further ventilate his recently acquired left-leaning views by becoming a commentator on television. An appropriate name for the show would be Hannity and Bush. Sensing the opening, Alan Colmes will run for President, he having all the qualifications to become Eunuch-in-Chief. (John F. Kerry was merely helpless while Alan Colmes is totally hopeless.)
From the Clinton Administration to the Bush Administration we have gone from open zippers to open borders. Transylvania does a better job of protecting itself against incursion by undocumented vampires. Lawlessness on the border is no longer an oversight. Its an addiction. Are Americans tired of illegal aliens? Has Jimmy Hoffa developed an allergy to cement?
Bush is convinced there is no disparity between legal and illegal Mexicans. That is approximate to the notion that there is no difference between Shinola and its metaphoric mate. Bush considers any quadruped without a counterfeit drivers license as underprivileged. Unhappily, some people are homeless, but it is a redeeming fact that nobody has to live next door to them.
Anyone born in Mexico can hardly but perceive the grass as greener anyplace else including Antarctica. The Arab invasion has made Europe an even more backward continent than Africa. Stoop laborers will do the same for North America. The hemisphere will be crossed by a new line of demarcation called the Tropic of Stupidity.
The Aztec version of the Nuremberg rally that took place in American cities revealed the Mexicans inherent hostility to their hosts. In turn, tourists who once regarded Mexico an attraction now consider it an affliction. They are regarded like the Barbary apes on Gibraltar. Long accustomed to being hand-fed, these Macaques have turned vicious and now consider the tourists as finger food.
Unhappily, in this world of enemies, compassion is the Bush sedative of choice. One way he might cure himself of his excessive sympathy for Mexicans is to take another trip to Mexico but this time not as President of the United States.
ISLAM
The Bush policy in dealing with Arabs seems based on a single precept: when in doubt look like you mean no harm. The Iraq misadventure in nation building went down the tubes when Bush decided it would be a cool move to have the Marines play squat tag outside of Fallujah while insurgents within sharpened their scimitars and stuffed teddy bears with anthrax.
By making their children into little bomblets for blowing themselves into smithereens, Arabs seek to create the perception that Moslems dont feel pain. Not only do they feel it, they deserve it. The general consensus is that Moslems are the dirtiest, smelliest people ever to infect Gods Earth. It is impossible to tell where an Arab ends and his camel begins. Mecca is the mens room of the Islamic world. They leave their shoes outside the mosque even though they are more likely to step in something foul inside. All so-called true believers are expected to make at least one pilgrimage to Mecca for the ritual milling around a big black box. Presumably, it is the actual box that no Moslem can think outside of.
Until this writing there was not heard one inference, one hint, one allusion, or one suggestion that the U.S. should send the kind of high-tech weaponry to Israel that would level the playing field which Syria and Iran are doing their best to un-level. It appears, as far as Bush is concerned, there are only two kinds of rockets those that go up and those that come down.
DIPLOMACY
I can think of nothing that gives me more a feeling of desolation then the G8 world leaders and the other process junkies (the means is the end) smiling while Moslems spill infidel blood in the street. Diplomacy is like sitting at a railroad crossing waiting for an endless freight train to pass by. The objective of process is more process, and no amount of diplomacy will coax the Islamic Preparation H back into the tube or any other place it rightfully belongs.
The G8 Conference was of course a fiasco. The sound of sabers rattling from Iran has already brought Europe to its knees. It is 1931 all over again. Why discuss the merits of the Middle East conflict with Putin? Anti-Semitism is as Russian as borscht, and Katyusha is not a name made up by Eskimos. This will not keep Bush from opening the velvet rope to welcome the Russkies into the World Trade Organization, which is a global NAFTA and repository for economic conspiracies.
The appearances of world leaders tend to reflect their characters and intentions. Vladimir Putin looks like an outtake from Grimms fairy tales. "Chuminess" is an apt word to describe his relationship with Bush - chum being the stuff used to attract sharks. (Bush must think KGB spells cat.) Putins failure to exact retribution for the hostage-taking and killing of Russian school children in Beslan has not embarrassed him before the world. Apparently, it has not sunk in that Chechens are Muslims, and have the same reek and cruelty as Muslims everywhere.
Frances leader, Jacques Chirac, is world-class coward. Joe Louis once said of an opponent He can run but he cant hide. If his opponent had been a Frenchmen he would have been able to do both. France depends for its defense on an Army that knows it can count on being rescued sometime, somewhere, by somebody.
We await the world leaders proclamation condemning Hugo We Dont Gotta Show You No Steenkin Badges Chavez, and the ostrich-like Bashir Assad whose neck still cries out for a rope. It should include some reproach of that psychotic in Iran who was driven mad by an inability to spell his own name, and Kim Jong Il who will remain beloved in his country until he has starved the love out of it.
In the search for peace, inevitably the world looks to a United Nations Organization that has descended from futility into criminality, and turns to Kofi Annan, who looks like an aging turd in a $5,000 Yves St. Laurent suit. Annan agreed to blame the Israelis for the decline and fall of everybody and everything. It is the pivotal stipulation in his infamous anti-Semitism for Food agreement with Saddam Hussein.
PRETENSE ON THE POTOMAC
Political hypocrisy in the U.S. Senate has poisoned this generation. In an earlier time, these pretenders would have inspired Oscar Wilde to change the title of his inestimable play from The Importance of Being Earnest to The Importance of Sounding Earnest. While Syria and Iran have loaded the Hezbollah up with rockets, our Senate has not authorized shipping Israel even a Swiss Army knife. Boxer, Feinstein, Schummer, Lieberman, Specter, Feingold, (kapo mentality Jews in the Senate) have uttered precious few words in defense of Israel.
The U.S. Senate is a tower of apathy and the most incompetent empanelment in the history of governance. Democrats criticize Bush for his lack of involvement in the Middle East, unlike Bill Clinton who had a three room apartment up Yasser Arafats ass. Inertia reigns. The Democrats are in spinal deficit. The Republicans are in intellectual short fall, and the Bush Administration has become The Stepford Administration. The nations debt is going through the roof and Bush is thinking of appointing to his cabinet a Secretary of Squander. The White House will confront the exorbitant price of gasoline only after NASCAR drivers run dry and the Auto Club has to be called to tow the winner across the Finish Line. Saddam Hussein and Cindy Sheehan are both alive and well, while the Marines killed in Beirut, at the Khobar Towers, and the sailors aboard the USS Cole are not avenged. Something is not working.
It is time for George W. Bush to stop boasting about America being the worlds only super power and start demonstrating it by responding in a way that will set fire to every beard in Islam.

I have to apologize to firehat. I really should have read more carefully in the first place. When I got to the Ribbentrop and other Reich references, I just thought it was more Bushhitler cr@p. Not that I agree with every word but the stupid IBTZ was wrong and for that, I apologize.
I enjoyed reading your post Firehat. Well done.
'"Swarthyland and Oogalboogladesh." "GUACAMOLE LAND" "'Chuminess' is an apt word to describe his relationship with Bush - chum' being the stuff used to attract sharks."'
[Gotta admit I like this guy's turns of phrase....]
Sort of like Free Republic's version of Dan Rather.
Making blanket statement about a race is wrong. I know lots of Arabs and they certainly are not the "dirtiest, smelliest people ever to infect Gods Earth." and I can tell 'where an Arab ends and his camel begins'. Granted there are lots of radical Muslim Arabs who are sorry excuses for human beings, mostly because of their extremists beliefs. But you cross the line when you say all Arabs are that way.
Well, yes, he would be.
I still think they're funny, but I can see why YMMV.
Uh...you don't suppose there is anyone further out to the right than this guy, do you?
He makes every foreign policy issue so easy to grasp: Have a problem? Bomb 'em til the rubble ceases to bounce.
Yeah. Sort of...
Point taken.
It's cool.
Sorry to jump down your throat, but I am just weary of the IBTZ.
Listen to President Eisenhower, and listen to those from the Pentagon who LEFT. Why ? Get this !
Norm is just trying to regain his once great status as a writer. He'll write and post something here once in a while and used to be a routine poster back in the early days. Note his claims to fame;

Screw you and firehat. These are different times and Bush faces enemies that no other president faced down--ever. Whaaa, whaaa, whaaaa! Bush hasn't solved the world's problems!!! Boo-hooo, hooo.
Thank you, but I am happily married.
Besides calling Muslims the dirtiest, smelliest people on earth probably offends the French.
Michael Savage, is that you?
So true. It seems like most people do it just to try and fit in. It ranks right up there with the ones pointing out the "rules" in the Ann Coulter posts. Not to mention the posts of moose and cheese.
While this may be true, it is equally true that he has done nothing to cure it.
In light of his Social Security Totalization Agreement with Mexico and his continued push for his non-amnesty amnesty, the so-called "Guest Worker" program and utter lack of border enforcement, I'd say he's single-handedly made the situation much worse.
I love Firehat. He says what I'm thinking, better than I can say it.
Great, hilarious rants. Always best when espousing the
truth. Thank you Sir.
