Unable to compete in the world of free debate with transparent facts, liberals behaved like children this week - proving that in the end national security and even national identity are always subservient to their own ego, reputation, and appearance.
It was pathetic, cowardly, and sickening.
It is also far too typical.
Liberals, who in large part are people devoid of true substance and belief, who also have great contempt for God, morality and truth, are often unable to deal with facts that reflect poorly upon them. And using pathetic, self-serving, cry-baby tactics is how they are commemorating this week - the fifth memorial of 9/11.
By now, you've no doubt read all about the ABC Mini-Series "The Path to 9/11" and some of what it will contain on Sunday and Monday evening. This no holds barred look at mistakes that were made in both the Clinton and Bush administrations will criticize decisions made and the decision makers in the run up to September 11. Beginning just before the World Trade Center bombing in 1993, based upon the 9/11 Commissions Report, it will trace events that led up to the horrific event we commemorate this week.
Every insider that I spoke to who has seen it has referenced it, "amazing, historical, and important." Others have called it an "even-handed critique." It sounds to me to be very faithful to the original Report.
But then came word that Bill Clinton, and four of his top staffers, objected to the way they were portrayed. But they didn't just object. They belly-ached, they threatened, and in the end they were able to force ABC television to cave on some material that took a critical look at their role in the years between 1993-2000.
Something that particularly irked them was the implication that the Clinton administration allowed Osama bin-Laden to escape. But this was no implication -
it is fact. On at least two occasions OBL was within our grasp but it was our lack of initiative that let him slip through our fingers. While Clinton was being serviced by an intern, and Hillary was busy letting him, he bombed an aspirin factory in response to terrorist actions taken against us.
The Clinton staffers who squealed like pigs over the ABC series do so for the same reason they did most things when they were in power. The central focus of the Clinton years was not, "what is best for the nation." It was always, "what is best for the Clintons and the people they liked." As long as the dot.com boom held up we as a nation were told that the State of the Union was strong - even as our enemies plotted, planned, and even attacked us - and no response came.
Now that the ugly truth is about to be seen by millions of Americans, and because it will embarrass those in powerful positions, Clinton and his staff demand the facts be changed to assuage the people's opinion of them.
And one of those making the demands... none other than Mr. "stuff the papers down my pants" Sandy Berger.
But in reigniting this debate over the image of liberals in America, they have exposed themselves as something worse. Not only are they unable to deal with criticism - something that all leaders must do in order to be effective leaders - but they are a true danger to America.
The great sin of 9/11 was that we as a nation did not dare to imagine the destruction that our enemies could cook up for us.
In Clinton's time, his administration refused to!
And this holds true for us today. Where are the great voices from the Democratic Party ready to lead the charge to make America safe from the dangers of open borders? Where are the vibrant leaders in liberal America who are ready to deal justice to those who seek to kill Americans? Where are those on the ideological left who have any clue as to how to aggressively stop terror threats from re-emerging?
The few that used to exist have been run out of the party.
Because liberals are under the misguided notions that 1.) there is no such thing as moral absolutes, good and evil, right vs. wrong and 2.) if we just take the time to talk to them we can get them to like us, they are not even aware that the "infidels" the enemy seeks to kill first - would be their immoral, self-serving, hedonistic, wicked selves. And in that ignorance they are also blinded to the direct overtures that the enemy continues to make - recently even Mr. Ahmadinejhad saying directly, "bow down to Islam, or you will be forced to."
Liberals are pathetic because they serve selfish immoral purposes. That is also what makes them weak. In their twisted thinking they believe with all their hearts that such weakness is actually strength. And that perversion of reality is sealing their doom.
Their doom does not have to be America's end.
And whether they realize it or not, by preventing them from regaining power, we are saving them from themselves!
A while back Sean Hannity had brought to light an intelligence org.that went by the name "Able Danger" who had given the Clinton Admin. some very detailed info about most of the terrorist's who ultimately were involved in the 9\11 attacks.Apparently the details were ignored by Clinton and his goons and was not even brought up in what I refer to as the " dog and pony show" 9\11 Commission.I wonder if the mini-series will even mention this group ???
Are we a great World power or not? The world at large has to wonder, no thanks to the Carter & Clinton administrations. Relativism and PC is so firmly ingrained in the Modern Liberal mind-set, and the Lib's have done so much for so long to shape American Foreign Policy to conform to the Will of World Organizations,.....
Was it really impossible to believe, that Al-Qaeda thought "it" could Drive us out of the Middle east and be successful ?
Are WE becoming "sissyfied" by the SissyRAT's ? ...Yes, I think so.
Excellent read....thank you for the post
Thank you Kevin
"Character doesn't matter"
Bill Clinton
Absolutely! They always get away with it through their powerful allies; the MSM.
From what I've heard, the Bush Administration is shown in a real favorable light, however, we still haven't heard from the Oval Office about how this show needs to be pulled off the air. Which begs the question, "Who really values our rights more?"
This is what is so dumbfounding to me. The fact that Sandy Berger STOLE from the National Archives and NOTHING happened to him is mindboggling!!!!! I am totally blown away by those facts. The other night Gary Hart, another gem, was on O'Reilly, he went on and on on how they had given the Bush admin. a report about terrorism and they ignored it. Hello??? They had put this report together in 1998, why didn't the Clinton administration do anything with the report for the 2yrs. they had it? I must be dense because I don't understand how you can equate 2yrs to 8 months. I don't understand how the dems can be so mortified by Bush not doing enough when the rash of terrorist attacks started in 1993 and over and over again through out Clintons term and nothing was done. Their logic is forget about everything that happened before 2000, since it happened on Bush's watch it is ultimately his fault. The fact that they refuse to take ANY RESPONSIBILITY is pathetic.
Right you are. Disregarding facts and when caught and asked a question like yours, the TraitoRats/MSM answer will always be the repetitive:
...they had given the Bush admin. a report about terrorism and they ignored it.
My favorite example to describe their answers is that they insist on: "The sun rises from the west!" But..but, everybody knows... scientifically...it rises from the east...watch it tomorrow, look east....
Nope, they keep repeating the lie without answering the main question. Unfortunately it influences the sheeple.
Once saw the comparison that "facts are to democrats what salt is to garden snails...death."
Thanks!
Poor widdle Willy and his band of thieves and liers. Burgulars, security risks, downright treasonous acts, proginators of walls to disable national security functions. What a band of miserable bastards to say the least.
It hurts DU type folks to have to see their sacred cow, Bill Clinton, shown to have been "playing ugly" with a plump, young girl instead of dealing with bin Laden and the very serious business of this country. One has to wonder just how many times he refused important calls because he was simply too "busy" playing ugly with a gal in his office. Excusing him has been the mistake of many people, probably starting with his mother.
