Bush Bashing By A Desperate Left
NewsMax ^ | September 6, 2001 | Dan Frisa

What an onslaught of personal, harshly negative invective being spewing forth daily from the Left and their comrades in the elitist media!

It’s been non-stop, at a near-dizzying pace on any issue they think will gain traction.

And all of this from the very same hypocrites who so vehemently – and falsely – charge Republicans with being mean-spirited and evil.

It shouldn’t come as any surprise, because the Left knows no decency and has no shame. What is amazing is the relentless and desperate nature of the attacks.

From the economy (read: Clinton’s recession, which began in October) to Kyoto (which the Senate turned away by a unanimous vote) to the ABM Treaty (which ceased to have any relevance when the U.S.S.R. disintegrated) to missile defense (which frightens the Russians, the communist Chinese and their friends at the New York Times) to the surplus (which should be returned to taxpayers, especially during a slow down) to the Middle East conflict (which the President wisely has maintained must first be realistically addressed by the parties themselves before U.S. involvement) to the President’s supposed "lack” of intelligence (notwithstanding that he graduated from both Yale and Harvard, unlike Junior Gore who flunked out of divinity school and mysteriously ‘left’ law school) to any other issue, real or imagined, the Left attempts to bang the President about the head and shoulders in a sick attempt to belittle him.

The President, to his great credit, hasn’t allowed any of these attacks by the Leftist elite to affect his policy considerations a single iota. He has a strong sense of self, something sorely lacking on the Left, which bolsters him amid this smelly chorus of personal disparagement and seems to steel his resolve.

There is a valuable lesson to be learned from George W. Bush: ignore the Left and do what’s right by the people. Republicans in Congress and elected office at the state and local levels should follow his lead, for all too often they seek to please their natural enemies rather than working to best them by enacting their agendas.

That’s the best way to deal with the Left: by simply ignoring them and moving forward, leaving them squealing in our dust, to the delight of a grateful electorate.

That goes for some on the right, too.

Worth a bump-what a nice, neat overview of our mindless, left-sided media. They may just blow it-big time!

This is concise and true - I think I will add to my notepad for future use - the part about their topics of bashing.

Well stated sinkspur. There is a lot of that going around lately. Love the fact that the President did not invite the media to the State dinner last night! Don't blame him at all, I am so disgusted with the lies and downright hostility from the media directed at him. I am surprised they haven't tried to say that all of the recent shark attacks are his fault!

Which is exactly why I was snickering at Newsmax being the source of this article!

It goes for the UNAPPEASABLES, who would find something to grumble about , even if 99 % of what they claim to want was done.

You know who is destroying this country ? People who claim to be Conservatves, but give aid and comfort to the Liberals by dividing the right. Those who refuse to see that incrementalizatio got us where we are and will get us out , but they DEMAND, oh so bellicosely that they want it all and they want it NOW. " Dog in the manger " Conservatives would rather be miserable , than to get 1/2 a loaf now and 1/2 a loaf later. The UNAPEASABLES revel in their misery.

HE'S ONLSY BEEN PRESIDENT FOR 8 MONTHS, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD !

And what would a President Gore have done to this country? And please don't answer, the same thing that Bush has. Not good enough.

Of course you're right. I am expecting too much. Insane posters simply don't have the capacity for sanity.

Perfect. I can see it now, one year, two years, three years from now you Bushophiles will be saying "He's only been president for x-years, for crying out loud!" Admit it, there's no "bridge too far" for you Duh-bya lovers.

That is because we know we have a good president. You are thinking only in the box and not looking outside the box. We don't have to always do things the same way or the same way it was done 50 years ago.

There are new options out there and Bush is a man who can look outside the box, work out a solution that is fair to all and see about it getting a try.

Yet you people only want what you had when the constitution was first formed. You will never go back to those days because times have changed - just like we cannot go back to our teenage years.

Many of you are like the oldtimers in a church. Anything the young ones come up with a little different - like singing two songs then a prayer rather than one song and a prayer, gets them all riled up.

I know Bush is a good man, I know he has good values, and I know he loves this country and all its people. He is not corrupt, will take care of this country and do the best job possible. I choose to look at what he is doing before I jump the gun.
