Joel Stein - an honest piece of shit

"I DON'T SUPPORT our troops." said Stein in LATimes article and followed it with the usual chorus of Bush lied, no threat, oil, blah blah. At least he is honest about his hatred for America. I'd respect him if he would leave.

The Porking of America

Pork, (or as it is now politely referred to: Earmarks), is the simplest way that Congressmen buy (literally Buy) votes from their constituencies; and, When the only purpose of being in Congress is to remain in Congress, who can blame them?

The process is forever.

The electorate will not stop pork - because they are the ones who benefit from it. These Congreessional Ponzi-schemers are literally bribing the very people who have the power to stop the bribery... so it ain't gonna happen in the election process.

The only people in position to stop the porking are other Congressmen, most of whom by necessity are bent on using the same vote-buying techniques in their own districts. The few who stand up to the Porking of America, are usually idealistic and naive "rookies" who are quickly either convinced of the value of having this ability to bribe their constituency or, failing that, are punished by the power brokers who have no interest in reforming this system.

Attempts to purchase votes are not going to stop until the incentive to buy them stops. Term Limits... period... is the only way to stop pork.

"Politicizing" 9/11

One of the most used - and most lame - Democratic attacks/accusations is that the Republicans are "politicizing 9/11". This, of course, from a group of people to whom everything - Everything! - is political.

I'm sure I'm not the first to reveal this secret, but I'll reveal it anyway:

September 11, 2001 is the most significant single day in American history, if not in the history of the world. On that day every American was forced to realize and admit, if only for a week or so, that there are people in the world who not only dislike us, but want to and will... and Did... Kill us. Not just our leaders or our armies - Us... every single one of us.

And that realization changed the world as far as Americans are concerned - not for a while - but forever. Anyone who denies that fact is unqualified to hold public office. But the Democratic Party as a whole, appears to be bent on forgetting 9/11.

There have been wars. There has been hatred. There has been tension. But prior to 9/11, all of it was merely a struggle for power - equal power, greater power, whatever. The only enemy that most of us knew before 9/11 was "Communism". The Communists wanted to dominate the world. They wanted to overthrow our system of government. They wanted to impose their ideology. And annihilation was a possibility but it would have been an accident. Now - annihilation is the stated goal of our enemy. They want us dead - ALL of us... period.

That belief by our enemy Requires an entirely different approach to defense... an entirely different approach to life in general. 9/11 DID change everything... and everything we do MUST take the change of that day into consideration.

Every one of us wishes for the pre-9/11 feeling of "security" - false as it may have been. But pretending, as the Democrats do, that 9/11 was just another event that politicians use to increase their standing and then move on to the next "event" - like Katrina, or Rodney King, or abortion - is not only unrealistic... it is insane.

No one in their right might doubts that if the Left could use 9/11 to its own political advantage, it would. But they can't, because of their historical and notorious weakness in the areas of Defense and Security. Therefore, because it is of no "use" to them, they persist in their attempts to deligitimize and trivialize this most significant day in American history.

Typically, the Democrats accuse the Republicans of exactly what they are doing themselves - Politicizing 9/11.

Scumbags: n. professional politicians

When anyone speaks out against a "critic" of the War on Terror/Iraq, it's "slander".When a Bush-basher calls the President a terrorist, it's "debate".

Democrat "criticism" may have no basis in fact and may, indeed, be outright lies.Republicans who point out discrepancies or falshoods are "attacking".

Indicted Republicans are guilty.Indicted Democrats are persecuted.

Politicians, in general, suck - they steal, they lie, they cheat, they lie, they connive, they lie, and they manipulate the system for their own personal gain (power/money). But today's Democrats have taken sucking to new levels.

Considering the depth of depravity now being plumbed by these disgusting leaches (professional politicians) in Congress, there is no hope for this country without congressional term limits.

I'd sooner be ruled by a jury-duty-like lottery. Throw them all out, I say. There is a whole lot of bathwater and very little baby.

Jack Bauer

"There seem to be no rules in Bush’s world when it comes to the war on terror. Only wimps like the whining bureaucrats on “24” would balk at torture, spying, propaganda — whatever it takes." --- Craig Crawford, CQ Columnist.

Mr. Crawford has impressive credentials - news analyst for MSNBC, CNBC and “The Early Show” on CBS - Liberal credentials, that is, as it would not be hard to guess from his article headlined in Realclearpolitics.com as "George Bush is the Jack Bauer of presidential power".

First of all, how does crap like this get on Real Clear Politics anyway? It isn't like the surrenderists can't find outlets virtually anywhere else.

Crawford, like all Liberals, finds some small commonality and extrapolates that to imply equality. Jack Bauer doesn't trouble himself with warrants - nor does Bush. Jack Bauer also saws off peoples heads, kills his fellow workers, and performs whatever is necessary to achieve his goal. We already know that terrorist suspects have been "water-boarded" and, even worse, forced to take off their clothes; so by association and implication therefore, the President would chop off someone's head, too - and likely has.

Not a single American worthy of his drivers license would vote against the President's decision to use NSA technology to track and trap those engaged in terrorism. Very, very little uproar was heard in the real world even when the ("Nazi-like") humiliations at Abu Graib were exposed.

And yet, the hard left continues to be more concerned with those who are plotting to kill us than it is with the Americans that they are trying to kill... More concerned with destroying or at least embarrassing George W. Bush than they are about protecting the United States. They can't think in any other terms but political.

If George W. Bush is Jack Bauer, then the Left is an ostrich with its head in the sand. In this new world, I'll take my chances Jack Bauer every single time.

Someone is very wrong in their reading of the American people. I pray it isn't me.
