Andrew Sullivan: They think Bush is worse than the Baghdad bullies

The list of dims being outspoken against the war because they hate W is growing longer and longer. Has anyone compiled a list of these quotes?

[MEG33]

I wouldn't have the stomach for it!

Bump for later. Off to Mass. For those of you who don't already know this, today is the 50th Anniversary of the Korean War Armistice. Please let us not forget the 8,200 unaccounted for American POW & MIA's and their families. Semper Fi

Thanks for the ping Ragtime Cowgirl.

All the other things we're finding out about Hussein and his regime are just side benefits, I backed taking him and his regime out just because they screwed with the US. Any regime that supports terrorism against us or directly threatens us, I'd back taking out.

Until the rest of the world gets the message "leave us alone or pay the price". We've let the US be a punching bag for way to long. I don't care if anyone else "likes" us, I want them to respect and fear what we'll do to them if they mess with us.

Andrew Sullivan's excellent article shows that the postings on the DU only show how much the Rat party hates GWB, America and what is good and right in this world. The Rats know that the majority of Americans do not agree with them and they know that the majority of Americans have had a real change of heart after 9/11. They just can not accept this reality and their goal is to destroy George W. Bush. Their God is BJ Clinton, socialism and the ultimate distruction of America. Forums such as Free Republic, conservative talk radio and Fox News are even more needed today so that the word of good and right reaches everyone.

Good morning, Diva! I loved reading this article. Thank you for the ping!! I read Andrew Sullivan's "Daily Dish" everyday. I may not agree with everything that he states, but I find myself in agreement when it comes to Foreign Policy matters. Thank you Andrew for supporting our troops!

[Let's Roll]

You are so right about the catalyst for this irrational hatred of GWB being Gore's attempt to steal the election. Been thinking it for some time - just hadn't articulated as well as you have. Good job.

[headsonpikes]

"...DU. That place is Hatred Central."

That is because faction is always driven by hatred, not policy differences.

In Late Republican Roman politics, one had 'amici' and 'inimici', friends and enemies.

American socialists are a more dangerous threat to the Republic than any foreign foe, as everyone shall see as events play out.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Well said, SAM.

x x ~ on the cheek, of course.

[I still care]

My God, that is so disgusting. DU'ers are so disgusting. I hope Ann Coulter takes note of that comment, she can put it in her next book.

Then they wonder why we think they are treasonous. I think they should make the idiot that typed that watch someone be put through a plastic shredder, so he can talk about how "brave" these two are.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Hugs, MoJo. Andrew was there for the troops this week - stood up in public and said, "No." Then followed through using his gift to clearly debunk the wanker talking points and give the troops a voice.

Next week, I'll disagree...and still be grateful. (^;

DU in pig latin is Uday...

Tune into Pacifica Radio, read Indymedia.org, the looney left are crazy and mean spirited.

They are at odds with America. Rush likes it when they get crazy because they take to the streets and the media covers them and everyone can see how crazy and extreme they are. I don't like it because it gives their movement momentum, puts a burden on the system (legal, security, etc.) and drags useful idiots down with it.

Anarchist-socialists be damned they are free to express their opinions (provided they don't follow their mantras and actually dismantle our constitutional government).

“It’s sad, really, that as despicable as they are, Saddam’s family seems to be the lesser of two evils when you compare them to the wretched little bastard occupying the White House and destroying America in the process . . .”


I swear to God that if I ever run across one of these DUmmies when I get back to the world I'm gonna choke them!!! They all ned to be flown over here and see first hand the poverty I see every day. See how well Saddam lived off of the backs of his people. THey need to experience the dangers that I do and maybe they'd have a different outlook on what we'e doing. But then again they might not.


Greetings from Baghdad!

God bless you. Write Sullivan..you have the first hand experience.Stay safe.

The main reason why the Left hasn't appreciated the deaths of Uday and Qusay as A Good Thing (TM) is because these two were distant political relatives. Ba'athism is simply a version of Islamic Socalism that lost some of the "intellecutal purity" that the Left holds onto so dearly. They drifted from the "ideals" of Lennin and Marx but they're kissing cousins compared to Bush.

Since the fall of the Berlin wall and Peristrokia, "pure Communism / Socialism" has been hurtling towards exitinction. There is an ever decreasing number of countries that practice their backwards, oppresive form of government and they want to preserve this "way of rule" as if it were an endangered species. The Left wants to presever each and every freak of nature country that still follows their misfit mode of governance rather than let people be free.
