But where are our intellectuals? Again warning us to make deals with tyrants and terrorists. Again warning us that defending ourselves will make things worse. Again warning that the fascists are less menacing than our own democracies, led by the US.
I was just thinking today on the way in from the airport and I heard some conservative commentator talking about a pretty mundane local issue dealing with the local school board and his callers and he were having an extremely articulate discussion about the issue, which had passed my notice.
It dawned on me why the left can't get its act together with talk radio. We are too damned intelligent and talented to think anyone is smart enough to understand us and Lord knows we don't need to listen. (Please note that I am speaking slightly left of center myself and am sad that I have to lump myself in with such a tattered useless class; if I was one of them once, and I was, I am ashamed to admit that I was every bit as pompous and overbearing as the lunatic left is today.) I apologize to one and all and ask that you allow me some time to mellow. This will not make me a conservative, and I'll still be left of the most liberal Republicans (well, except maybe not Chaffee).
How telling that Bush, like Reagan and Churchill, is accused of being a dangerous idiot for believing there is indeed good and evil, and evil must be fought if freedom is to survive.
The President has seen his duty and he is doing it and his courage and strength in casting off the insults is a tribute to him as a man and illustrates that his parents raised one hell of a good guy...and very humble, like Mr. Ditka the other day, "...I'm just a guy... and that is how President Bush will win this one...again....by being just as he is...just a guy.
