Dont. Just dont. Its not worth the heartburn.
It was a great temptation, though, Sunday night when the most satisfying news of the current round of Islam vs. Everybody Else started breaking. Osama bin Laden wasnt just captured, he was dead and the U.S. had the body. Okay, kudos to the person who gave the order to go in: the current resident of the White House. The vast majority of thinking and fair Americans out there have no problem with that.
Its the rest of what the brainwashed have to say thats a problem.
Like everyone else who grows up in the U.S. of A., Cultural Limits (thats me) has a circle of family, friends and acquaintances that runs the entire spectrum from hard-core leftist vegan nutcases to suspicious, gun under the pillow, bury the cash in the back yard nutcases. Its really rather interesting that the ones more toward the bury the cash in the back yard side are more patient when it comes to actually gathering facts to be sure they are correct than the holier than thou lefties are. That surfaced with a vengance Sunday evening.
Nothing has demonstrated the power of brainwashing more than the blind loyalty to the current resident of the White House I see in these people. I mean nothing. This happened on his watch, so he gets the credit. ALL the credit. Not like that stupid Bush, who couldnt find him. Take THAT, you conservatives. One normally fairly mild mommy complained that so much credit was going to soldiers (I didnt want to break it to her that S.E.A.L.S. are in the Navy, but, to be fair, she didnt grow up in a defense household like I did.) and not nearly enough to Obama. She didnt say a word about the CIA.
Trying not to laugh and cry at the same time or respond to the nitwits who apparently have no clue how covert ops work or that Obama didnt even appoint his own defense secretary is not an easy task. I mean seriously, are people determined to worship the man going to listen when you explain that: the intelligence alone took almost four years to gather (there was a CONSTITUTIONALLY mandated election during that time in which W was no longer eligible for the office); no defense policy has been put in place by the current regime in Washington and they are still using stupid Bushs (its always a temptation to ask how many of them are fighter pilots or have an MBA from Harvard, but that just gets you nowhere); Pakistan, an ally, didnt quite tell us the whole truth; the dreaded prison camp interrogations produced the first pieces of info that led to the raid; or that Obama didnt face the bullets or do the shooting.
Yeah, dont bother. None of that seems to matter to them. Listening, reason and sensible deduction has been removed from their political thought, if you can call it that. Regurgitation is closer. Heres to hoping it doesnt doom us next November.
Do they forget that eight years after the first WTC attack, Clinton didn't find him either?
I say didn't, because I believe he could have.
BUMP for later reading
My tagline.
Liberals will ask you a convoluted, many factored question or a, “Do you still beat your wife” question and insist on a yes or no answer but if you ask them if the Sun rises in the East they will yammer for five minutes without answering.
Today they are saying that the SEAL shot the wife in the leg.
It is very frustrating. I’d like to find a short, concise explanation on what makes their minds work so convolutedly.
As many say, it is a mental disease.
