Why we hate them
I've been too busy fretting about "why they hate us" to follow the Democrats' latest objections to the war on terrorism. So it was nice to have Al Gore lay out their full traitorous case this week. To show we really mean business, Gore said we should not get sidetracked by a madman developing weapons of mass destruction who longs for our annihilation.
Rather, Gore thinks the U.S. military should spend the next 20 years sifting through rubble in Tora Bora until they produce Osama bin Laden's DNA. "I do not believe that we should allow ourselves to be distracted from this urgent task," he said, "simply because it is proving to be more difficult and lengthy than predicted."
Al Bore wants to put the war on terrorism in a lockbox.
Gore also complained that Bush has made the "rest of the world" angry at us. Boo hoo hoo. He said foreigners are not worried about "what the terrorist networks are going to do, but about what we're going to do."
Good. They should be worried. They hate us? We hate them. Americans don't want to make Islamic fanatics love us. We want to make them die. There's nothing like horrendous physical pain to quell angry fanatics. So sorry they're angry – wait until they see American anger. Japanese kamikaze pilots hated us once too. A couple of well-aimed nuclear weapons, and now they are gentle little lambs. That got their attention.
Stewing over the "profound and troubling change in the attitude of the German electorate toward the United States," Gore ruefully noted that the German-American relationship is in "a dire crisis." Alas, the Germans hate us.
That's not all. According to Gore, the British hate us, too. Gore said Prime Minister Tony Blair is getting into "what they describe as serious trouble with the British electorate" because of his alliance with the U.S. ("Serious trouble" is British for "serious trouble.")
That same night, James Carville – the heart and soul of the Democratic Party – read from the identical talking points on "Crossfire": "The Koreans hate us. Now the Germans – you know that's one against Germany. You know what? You know what? If we had a foreign policy that tried to get people to like us, as opposed to irritating everybody in the damn world, it would be a lot better thing." (Hillary Clinton on James Carville: "Great human being.")
Perhaps we could get Djibouti to like us if we legalized clitorectomies for little girls. America is fighting for its survival and the Democrats are obsessing over why barbarians hate us.
The Democrats' scrolling series of objections to the war is utterly contradictory. On one hand, liberals say Bush is trying to build an "empire." But on the other hand, they are cross that we haven't turned Afghanistan into the 51st state yet. This follows their earlier argument that Afghanistan would be another Vietnam "quagmire."
The "empire" argument is wildly popular among the anti-American set. Maureen Dowd said Dick Cheney and "Rummy" were seeking "the perks of empire," hoping to install "lemon fizzes, cribbage and cricket by the Tower of Babel." She warned that invading Iraq would make them hate us: "How long can it be before the empire strikes back?"
Ah yes – we must mollify angry fanatics who seek our destruction because otherwise they might get mad and seek our destruction.
Gore, too, says America will only create more enemies if "what we represent to the world is an empire." But then he complained that we have "abandoned almost all of Afghanistan" – rather than colonizing it, evidently. He seems to think it is our responsibility to "stabilize the nation of Afghanistan" and recommends that we "assemble a peacekeeping force large enough to pacify the countryside."
And then we bring in the lemon fizzes, cribbage and cricket?
After tiring themselves out all summer yapping about how Bush can't invade Iraq without first consulting Congress, now the Democrats are huffy that they might actually have to vote. On "Meet the Press" a few weeks ago, Sen. Hillary Clinton objected to having to vote on a war resolution before the November elections, saying, "I don't know that we want to put it in a political context."
Yes, it would be outrageous for politicians to have to inform the voters how they stand on important national security issues before an election.
Minority Whip Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., the ranking Democrat on the House intelligence committee, said the Democrats would not have enough information to make an informed decision on Iraq – until January. The war will have to take a back seat to urgent issues like prescription drugs and classroom size until then. The Democratic Party simply cannot rouse itself to battle.
Instead of obsessing over why angry primitives hate Americans, a more fruitful area for Democrats to examine might be why Americans are beginning to hate Democrats.
In the beginning I couldn't believe the things I was hearing. I figured the government couldn't get over 50% wrong , because the other half would expose them.
I've wised up since then and don't let others do my thinking for me.
Regardless of what people " want " to believe there is an agenda that will enslave " hu " mankind. Or people who will accept slavery , the others will just be delt with.
Maybe I missed the class on accepting serfdom. I've heard the excuses about what would " Life " be without the aristocrats and lords.
I think " Life " would move a little slower , there would be a lot more people involved with " advancements " and life would be more fair due to supply and demand. Education would be more than a control of the masses and Churches wouldn't be under the FBI's magnifying glass.
I do see where there are people who believe other people are less than themselves due to economics and or education. And there are obviously people who have accepted a lower standard for themselves. Which makes them easier to control , especially when they are unarmed.
I only accept one Lord , and He doesn't want to restrict me with chains. So I refuse to wear any chains that men may want to restrict me with.
Ah, that's what the liberals love about folks like you--you never recognize what happened to you.
POOHBAH: I thought it was Tiberius.
Grut is correct. I can still remember the Latin phrase "Odoront dum Metuant" from that required Classics class I had to take in college. Caligula coined it, I believe, but I believe other tyrants have adopted it as well. Tyrant Tommy Dashole has tried to adopt the phrase, but he falls FLAT on the second half of the phrase.
Al Gore's version: "Let them hate me, so long as they count every vote."
The problem is that most of America has been brainwashed into believing what You say.
They are no longer able to stand on their own two feet and make conscientious decisions for their country's future.
I believe our importance comes from more than an occupation.
If and when You are in a foxhole , are You going to ask to see the guys card ?
Before You offer or recieve help.
The Truth will come out whether You like it or not. That's when You will see how empty Your reflection is.
But I believe You already know that , and You are just here to run interference.
Hugs and kisses , big guy.
Sleep well. ( I already know You will say You do , but we both know different).
I can hardly wait for the rest of America to catch up. Then "We" can really talk change.
Peace
