That's all I can call liberals in this country anymore. A bunch of skirts. I am so angry it is making my blood pressure go through the roof.
Is there nothing in this world that ever makes a liberal want to defend his country and stand up for our citizens and our leaders?
Is there anything a liberal would fight for (besides abortion, needle programs, the right of criminals and America's enemies, etc)?
Is there nothing exceptional about being American to a liberal?
Has the United States been nothing but a force for evil in this world?
Do they really believe George W. Bush is worse than Hitler or Saddam?
Do they really believe that rights granted to U.S. citizens under the Constitution apply to terrorists, murderers, and crackpot dictators around the world even though nothing in their way of life indicates an adherence to said Constitution? That those rights apply to the very same people who wish to destroy the way of life that we the people enjoy (at least conservatives enjoy it) and that which the Constitution governs?
Hugo Chavez, the tinhorn dictator of Venezuela, comes into our house and insults our President and calls him the devil and there is absolutely no outrage from the left save a comment from Congressman Charles Rangel, in whose district Chavez was speaking. I am sure that Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, and Democratic National Committe leader Howard Dean were privately cheering Chavez for taking our President down a peg and embarrassing him around the world. After all they do it all the time.
You know we may have our disagreements in this country, and I know Republicans can make an awful mess of things and be deserving of criticism. And Lord knows the Democrats will say the most hateful, disrespectful things about our President and have it beamed via satellite and Internet all over the world without a care for how it influences the opinions of America in other countries - but no one from the outside should be able to come into our house and feel free to do the same. Period.
Of course we shouldn't be surprised that it has come to this. The Democrats have shown not a single iota of respect for the President - because he comes from the opposition party and they believe embarrassing him will help them regain the White House. Democrat or Republican, the President of the United States is the leader of the free world and of the best and most powerful nation on the planet and the position alone should demand respect. Though liberals refuse to acknowledge it, America is a nation that has promoted liberty and freedom throughout its history and it has spilled a lot of its own blood and spent a great deal of its treasure in its attempts to bring freedom to others (as we are trying to do in Iraq). But since today's liberals are ignorant of this nation's history they do not know of the good we as a beacon of freedom have brought to the world. They cannot see the whole picture and have no understanding of what America has been about. They have learned about all of the mistakes our country has made in its history because those children of the '60's, who are now the supposed adults, make up a majority of those who teach in our schools and universities. They are still America-haters, distrusting of government and revolting against any and all authority. They have been only too happy to point out the blemishes in American History, label us as evil, and distort America's value to the world. How else can you explain almost a third of this country actually believing that the government was involved in bringing down the World Trade Center in order to justify it's war for oil, the past elections have been stolen, that the levees in New Orleans were blown up by the government to drown the poor black people?
Politics used to stop at the water's edge but no longer. Liberals hate America because they have no understanding of it in its entirety. I wonder why they don't just leave and go to France or the European Union since they like the way they live over there so much. There is no longer a united American attitude where we are all in this together and we had each others back against any outsiders - no matter our disagreements. I look at it this way: when I was a kid my father could be a real jerk and I certainly had my share of disagreements with him and his actions. However nobody but nobody had better come into my house and badmouth my father. The fight would have been on. Period.
The underlying problem is that liberals have no guts and they refuse to differentiate between good and evil, right and wrong, Americans and other people. They see a moral equivalence between George Bush, Saddam Hussein, and al-Qaeda. They refuse to judge anyone unfavorably except for Bush and conservative religious people. Everyone else: murderers, rapists, dictators, communists, Muslims, drug addicts, gangbangers, etc. get a pass from them. You know with them it's all about the root causes that make people act so badly. It's always someone else's fault. The root causes of all of the world's problems no doubt, have been brought on by the policies of the United States of America and its President. Apparently all of these problems have been brought on during the last six years when Bush has been president too. Liberals act as if George W. Bush is all-powerful and controls the world from his desk. The great contradiction in all of this liberal blather of course is that while George Bush is and will always be a complete idiot, undeserving of his position, he's smart enough to cause death and starvation in other countries, control the weather, and foresee the future all while pulling the wool over the eyes of everyone in the world.
A few examples of liberal attitudes coming out of this Hugo Chavez / Mahmoud Ahmadinejad furor have really enraged me:
Yesterday I am watching Hannity & Colmes and that liberal pansy Alan Colmes, who never met an enemy of the United States he couldn't defend and/or blame Bush for, while discussing the boycott of Citgo being bandied about by true Americans who are angry at Chavez's comments about our President, says that perhaps liberals should organize a "buycott" of Citgo. Apparently to him Citgo, owned by the Venezuelan government, should actually be rewarded for their president's comments attacking Bush with more petrodollars from those who hate Bush.
These liberals hate Bush so much that they will allow anyone to say or do anything to him (and us) despite the damage it does to the country as a whole. In fact because that slime Chavez disparaged Bush liberals think that he should actually be rewarded. They're all cheering him for doing so. They disgust me. Can anyone understand what goes on in the liberal mind? There is no United in their way of thinking. It's as if they think that if bad things happen to Bush it only happens to him alone and the rest of the country is untouched and does not suffer at all. It's like they think that when the Islamofacists come to America to wreak their havoc they'll only kill conservatives. Liberals are apparently too dense to understand it is all of their social policies and attitudes that have convinced the Islamofacists that we are irreligious and blasphemous and that we need to be converted or killed. They see the West as decadent and with the devil. Don't lefties see that if a terrorist was told he could only kill some of us and he had to choose which ones to kill that he would choose to kill the gay, lesbian, transgendered, pornographic film distributing, drug using, antireligious, abortion loving liberals first? Maybe if liberals hadn't destroyed the public school system they would be better at critical thinking and they might know a thing or two about history rather than, as Ann Coulter says, waking up to a new day everyday as if what had happened yesterday had never happened. That's why they always want to try the same policies over and over - no matter how many times they have failed.
Later last night I am listening to the Mike Gallagher show and they are discussing the Chavez thing. This liberal girlie-man calls in and says that Bush deserves these insults because after all Bush uses childish terms like "axis of evil", "evildoers", and "good vs. evil". Liberals are always so smart, so superior, and so above the fray aren't they? This liberal said that there Bush is too childish to understand that there are no evil people in the world only misguided ones. Talk about childish! Liberals live in their own little fantasy world and they cannot even admit that there is evil in the world. It's all about root causes don't you know? When pressed by the host this guy could not even agree that Hitler was evil. Adolph Hitler - the man responsible for the agonizing deaths of six million Jews and millions of others. I suppose they'll be blaming Hitler on Bush soon. If you can't even gin up the nerve to call Hitler evil you are out of your mind.
And last, the thing that really set me off and caused me to start banging out this column on my keyboard was this: Yesterday I forwarded via email a call for a Citgo boycott around to those on my email list that might be interested. I think that people should understand that Citgo is owned by the Venezuelans and that Americans should think twice before pouring our petrodollars into their coffers when we have so many other options. A valid consideration for someone who actually loves their country and defends its right to have internal squabbles yet feels that foreigners should be excluded from commenting on our business - especially when they speak of our leaders in a disrespectful manner. And before my liberal friends start getting all emotional and stamping their feet and sobbing uncontrollably - they should understand that I am no Bush robot. I have disagreed with many of his policies and actions. However I hated Bill Clinton for what he did to embarrass this country while in office, but I would never have stood for a Chavez making those comments about him either.
But my liberal brother, upon receipt of said email, cuts and pastes the First Amendment out of the Constitution and sends it to me telling me that even idiots have rights! Why do liberals insist on applying rights granted to Americans in the U.S. Constitution to foreigners who have no intention of ever living by those rights nor applying them to the people they govern and oppress? I mean this really drives me crazy! Why should "enemy combatants" - those who try to kill Americans by any means and would love to overthrow our government, have the same rights as common criminals? Don't you have to live by the Constitution to have it apply to you? Is there no price to pay for being treated in that manner? Can you murder innocents people with roadside bombs and plot to kill more but still be treated as if you were civilized? Do liberals really see an equivalence between average Americans and terrorists? Do they really believe that terrorists are the moral equivalents to the Minutemen of our American Revolution? What planet are these people from anyway?
A little lesson for liberals when indignantly applying the First Amendment: just because you have the right to say what you want doesn't exclude you from having to hear an unfavorable response. People in opposition to your asinine statements have the right to say what they want back to you or react to your idiocy in any fashion they wish -provided it's legal and does not include violence. Liberals always site the First Amendment when they spew anti-American bile but whine like crazy when the same right is exercised in a rebuttal.
And in one of their biggest hypocrisies: liberals always like to cite foreign law when it suits their purpose to override U.S. law and demonstrate the error of our ways, how is it that now they want to cite U.S. Constitutional law to cover monsters and murderers? Answer: because it suits their agenda and promotes their anti-American attitudes!
I am tired of having this same argument over and over with liberals. No, America has not always been right in everything it does however we have always tried to promote freedom and liberty around the world. All of our decisions are based on that. This has been true under both Democrat and Republican administrations. We are all Americans and we must stay united. A house divided cannot stand. I believe that is the true goal of the Left in this country now. They constantly talk about the neocons plan for a one world order but it is the Left that wishes to blur the lines between individual national sovereignty, remove borders, and eliminate patriotism. They cannot see any difference between the greatest nation on the planet and an Iran or Venezuela. I feel sorry for them. All they want to do is tear down everything we have done throughout our history. It is as if they have deathwish. We must never let them win.
