Of course they do…compassionate tolerant people that they are…
If it weren’t for the Rumsfelds of this world these lefties would be in gulags.
I remember the DUmmies over at Democratic Underground rejoicing when Rush Limbaugh’s mother died. Those people are scum.
There is.
He could have gone to ANY Democrat run city or state. At least Hell is run by a sentient being - but one who looses out in pure evil to our current DemocRAT party.
LOL, the Left maintains its ever classy role.
That is not rejoicing you see among the liberal elite, it is impotent rage that Donald Rumsfeld is forever beyond their reach.
I say, “Hail, Donald Rumsfeld”, as he brought a sense of purpose and proportion to his government service, and yet he did not become a reigning member of the Swamp. Did his job, left and went back to his life.
Several times. But he was called upon again and again, until the Mobocracy grew restless. In 2006, he left for home for good.
Rumsfeld wanted to spend the budget on things that fit what the military needed to perform their missions. Congress wanted to spend the money for political benefit. Rumsfeld had to sell all of his defense related stocks in order to take the position he held. But Congressmen can legally buy or sell stocks based on insider information, which is one of the several way to monetize their office. This insider trading is what Martha Stewart went to prison for.
Isn’t it interesting that not one of these “journalists” has a common American name?
But that’s racist, isn’t it. My bad. /s
If I had a cable news show I would have tried to get George W on to remember the life of Donald Rumsfeld.
But of course to get it into perspective Rumsfeld was a protege of Gerald Ford whom Ronald Reagan challenged as the more conservative POTUS candidate in 1976.
I saw Don Rumsfeld on Fox News trying to make me believe that the more “moderate” Republicans like himself were the conservatives.
I can’t accept that.
Hating “moderate” Council on Foreign Relations Republicans like the now late Donald Rumsfeld is no answer for me.
I choose to treat Donald Rumsfeld with the dignity and respect he deserves and honor him along with his peers like George W. Bush.
But I will not tell you that Donald Rumsfeld was a “Conservative” by my definition of “Conservative”.
I will not try to con you into believing that.

Marxist intellectual is an oxymoron
Post 9/11 the die was cast go after Afghanistan and Iraq even though most of the terrorists were Saudi citizens (15 of 19 plane hijackers).
Saudi Arabia had the oil and the $$$$$$$.
The US ended up doing what it did post 9/11 with the Left enraged and the Right pitted against the Left over the warfare.
A waste of my time and emotions in retrospect.
But was it the right policy to begin with or the expedient one?
Pakistan created the Taliban that gave bin Laden a home in Afghanistan and oops bin Laden ended up living in Pakistan.
Pakistan with its nuclear weapons was on off limit country for military punishment.
No one will ever live in a worse place than the lives of liberals.
Donald Rumsfeld was no war monger. He understood peace through strength.
The peace through strength doctrine is one those things you either believe in, or you are a moron.
…strength vs. appeasement..
…capitalism vs. socialism..
…meritocracy vs. affirmative action..
…liberty vs. tyranny..
…equal justice vs. social justice..
…sanity vs. insanity..
You pick a side and fight for it, and if the Left hates you, you have chosen wisely.
liebrals are what they are,,, filthy beasts.
