Top Bush Aide Denounces Mark Levin, Malkin, Others as 'Unhinged...Bolshevik' Enforcers
Newsbusters ^ | 9/19/10 | Tim Graham

Posted on 09/19/2010 8:10:19 PM PDT by Mozilla

Former top Bush speechwriter Michael Gerson is a Washington Post columnist, and there is never a better time for right-leaning columnists to lean left than in the last weeks of an election season. (See George Will trashing Sen. George Allen in the last weeks of 2006.) His rant also may have granted Gerson a seat on CBS's Face the Nation on Sunday.

Gerson not only denounced Christine O'Donnell as a wacky candidate like Alan Keyes, he denounced "the childish political thought of the Tea Party." He insisted conservatives were like Bolsheviks. Bloggers like Michelle Malkin and talk show hosts like Mark Levin were "unhinged" against Karl Rove.

Gerson wants to suggest that the Tea Party people are unhinged in their rhetoric, and then he compares them to murderous Russian communists. Remember this the next time Gerson agrees with a liberal that Obama shouldn't be smeared with foreign associations.

“... holding out hope that Cheney isn’t also one of the Bush dipshits”

I an no longer sure of anything. However, I feel that Nixon expanding our trade into China and Bush Sr. beginning the push for Free Trade & NAFTA gave a big boost to corporate globalism.
Cheney served under Nixon, Ford, and Bush Sr. before Bush Jr. He did not serve in Reagan’s Administration.

The new world order mission of the political elite comes to my mind.

They stole our private healthcare without blinking an eye, and with impunity.

Didn't hear from these 'conservatives voices' during that or any other action of this admin. Yet, here they are in full swing against conservatives. Reminds me of McCain. Hope AZ votes him out. He will be more of a thorn in our side if elected - too many on the left and rino's will be counting on him and we know where his allegiance is. Remember his lack luster run for prez and two yrs later - major fire in the belly against conservative JD. Mr$50 lettuce man will be more of a star than before. He's the right's public enemy #1, IMO. Now I see more clearly why he picked Sarah as his running mate.

Well, well, well, this entire situation seems to go deeper all the time. The CFR must have a role for America to play in their global schemes. America must follow the plan. They cannot trust an America run by “We the people” to follow that plan.

The TEA Party movement could disrupt all their global plans. Just when they’ve got the president, Congress, and courts they want, making just the type of laws they want — the TEA Party will ruin all their plans. That is why these people are coming out of the woodwork to say the most illogical things imaginable.

They must be very close to their goal, for this level of naked opposition to the people and their choice.

***************

Respectfully, I disagree. I think they reached their high water mark, and are watching it ebb away. They are going wild now with frustration and desperation as it slips away from them.

If they’re all really pissed, it shouldn’t be all that hard to figure out why.

Are we allowed to talk about conspiracies?

Look up “dark, undiscovered stain”

Christine lacks the stain.

I’m not saying at all that that’s it.
You asked for “really big”.

Kristol likes Palin.
Kristol attacked Christine.
Palin and Christine are buddies now.
Kristol is a neocon, who may or may not be a Palin advisor.
Palin apparently has as part of her foreign policy the specialness of Israel.
Christine worked for The Passion of the Christ which if you recall was a very controversial movie.

There are gatekeepers, apparently. They knock out people they don’t like. They’re the ones who pick the President, apparently.

And Christine is one they don’t like.

And they realize it’ll happen over and over again.

And if there is a conspiracy they play a role in, these unapproved people can take it right down.

You wanted “really big”. I’m not saying any of that is right. I’m not saying any of that isn’t crazy.

We’ve spent too much time thinking about RINOs. Cheney is a conservative, but still an establishment Republican. This election and hopefully 2012 will be about removing the Ruling Class Republicans who have been legislating to increase their power at our expense and replacing them with Country Class conservatives who will stop government from growing and reduce it’s size.

The primary elections have put this class distinction front and center. We’re winning and the establishment is scared. Now we need to make sure we are bringing the country along with us and we achieve victory in November.

I am liking what you said, but was it cut off?

Seems like there was going to be more after the last sentence.

By all means, please continue.

In addition to working tirelessly with our brave military and intel, 24/7, after 9/11 to keep yours and my butt thankfully free of another catastrophic attack or beheading, here’s what else he managed to accomplish through all those years of tense, unrelenting wartime pressure, much of with a vicious and obstructionist Democrat Congress and despicable media.

“Indeed, Bush arguably did more to advance conservative priorities than any president that came before him. Consider a few examples:

.

TAX CUTS. Bush enacted the largest tax cuts in history — and unlike my personal hero, Ronald Reagan, he never signed a major tax increase into law.

.

JUDGES. Bush has the best record on judges of any Republican president in memory – his appointments of Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito will be judged favorably over time compared to Justices Anthony Kennedy, Sandra Day O’Connor, David Souter and John Paul Stevens (all put on the high court by Republican presidents).

.

FREE TRADE. Bush enacted free-trade agreements with 17 nations, more than any president in history.

.

HEALTH CARE. Bush created Health Savings Accounts – the most important free-market health-care reform in a generation. And he courageously stood up to Congressional Democrats when they sought to use the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) to nationalize health care — and defeated their efforts.

.

SCHOOL CHOICE. Bush won a Supreme Court ruling declaring school vouchers constitutional and enacted the nation’s first school-choice program in the District of Columbia.

.

SANCTITY OF HUMAN LIFE. Bush was the most pro-life president in history, securing passage of the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act, the Unborn Victims of Violence Act and the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act. And Bush steadfastly refused to fund the destruction of human embryos for research — and was vindicated by the scientific breakthroughs that followed. No president did more to protect the sanctity of unborn life.

.

NATIONAL DEFENSE. Bush increased defense spending by nearly 73 percent, more than even Ronald Reagan, and the largest increase since the Truman administration.

.

INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT. Bush defended American sovereignty with an act that was virtually unprecedented – he unsigned a treaty, the Rome Statute, creating the International Criminal Court.

Rest

The fact that you refuse to acknowledge the peace and security of those days and real achievements, due to Pres. Bush’s priorities and principles, does not diminish the reality of them .. especially our safety, which is every Potus’ #1 duty.

How safe and peaceful do you feel these days? How many of Pres. Bush’s sensible conservative policies and vital security measures have been personally and purposely decimated by the current resident, putting us at historic risk in every area of our lives?

It’s simply petty, small and below-the-belt to look back and revise history. Just compare those days to these, and think about your picky expectations for perfection and omission of priorities, then look in the mirror and tell me how you measure up or what human ever could.

At least be thankful to him that the major city near you wasn’t bombed by terrorists .. don’t hold your breath for what’s coming.

Thank God for Pres. Bush. Right man .. right time. God bless & protect us all.

“Love that photo. Cheney Knows. . . .”

Yes. I did not care for him a the time, but events have shown he may have been the entire backbone for the administration in those 8 years.

"“Recall when Bush declared us all to be anti-American for opposing “amnesty” for the criminal wetbacks?”

no

Well, he did. I remember it quite clearly. It was the precise moment when I began going into disagreement with him.

He’s a neocon.

He’s always the first one to suggest war in the middle east. There are very few neocons.

The people who are attacking Christine are the same people who are first to push for middle east war.

There are a lot of prochoice republicans. I don’t hear any chorus of opposition there. The opposition is coming from the neocons.
