Morford: Is Terrorism Making You Sick?

San Francisco Chronicle ^ | Friday, September 12, 2003 | Mark Morford, Unaffected By 911

Oh great, so here you are, two full years later.

Two full years after the 9/11 maelstrom and two years during which the term "hero" has been molested and slapped around and "patriotism" has been smashed and reconfigured into some mutant shellacked Maria Shriver-like perma-saluting mannequin, a conservative plastic surgeon's wet dream, all fake smiles and bleached teeth and Botoxed worry lines and pumped-up, silicone-enhanced flag-waving bravado you no longer relate to in the slightest.

I dunno Mark, but I can definitely laugh at you.

" That rich feeling of global sympathy and sincere concern and this powerful, overarching sense that maybe, just maybe, if we work together and reach out to each other without snide bias or prejudice, we can re-make the world in an entirely new, politically purified, blazingly conscious, peace-seeking vision?"

So, as long as America is seen as The Victim, it is just a worldwide wonderful fuzzy feeling of happys.

Get over it. You push. I shove.

Morford is sick....

Rush is right about these types. The more they are out of power the wackier they get.

Morofrd is obviously getting in touch with his Al Qaeda Taliban feminine side.

[Lil'freeper]

Will 9/11 and every subsequent emotionally explosive event in your life result in bitter conflict and finger-pointing and bile,

In your case, Ms. Moford, it seems to be so.

Yes he is sick & he forgot to take his Vitamin-P this morning. (Prozac)

Let's all write letters to the San Francisco Chronicle responding to this article.

Wine (drunkenness) and orgasms. Never, even fails. I've heard of a one-track mind, but he takes it to a whole new level.

And he has a HUGE crush on GWB. :)

This is a perfect example of the liberal mindset. It is a lie but not on the facts, it has few. It is a lie because this liberal is appealing to our spiritual side and they denounce God. It calls a tax cut paltry and they are against any tax cuts. Another lie is their constant preaching about being non-judgmental. Is this liberal non-judgmental? They only want us to be non-judgmental of them while they are judging us with every breath.

They constantly blame others for all of the bad that happens, so I paused, thinking this author was encouraging us to look inward for blame, not toward others. I then realized that we are the others. Liberals hate America and true Americans. Therefore we are the others, the enemy who is to be blamed.

Like I said a perfect example of the liberal mindset.

I missed that quote yesterday. Can you tell me what article that was from or link it? Thanks.

[roses of sharon]

WSJ.com, James Taranto.

[presidio9]

Oh, ok. FWIW, Opinion Journal is not the same thing as WSJ. While I enjoy Taranto very much, his column does not appear in the print addition.

but instead injects them all with mandatory doses of perspective and divine drunkenness and hot screaming love

Damn, I thought "it" might actually get through an entire article without referring to orgasms.

[thoughtomator]

Might as well be the San Fallujah Chronicle.

If Ashcroft was 1/10th as bad as Morford lets on, Missy Morford would be getting sodomized 6 times a day in Gitmo.

[roses of sharon]

Yes, I am aware.

[TenaciousZ]

Morford, Sept. 2003: Do you remember? The days immediately after 9/11? That rich feeling ... that maybe, just maybe, if we work together and reach out to each other without snide bias or prejudice ...

Morford, Sept. 2001: What this country needs right now is more. More everything: oil, energy, military, power, anger, money, might. It's wartime and it's time to spend billions and damn the torpedoes, let's give Ashcroft and Rumsfeld and Cheney free rein, just as much power as they want, that's what we're supposed to do and this is no time to worry about who's really benefiting and who's really lining their pockets how gleeful is the cheering from the GOP-backed military-industrial complex when they hear the words "wildly expensive and protracted military engagement."
