Comments on: In A Three Minute Monologue, Matthews Gushes Over Bush’s ‘Great Neo-Conservative Mind’ http://thinkprogress.org/2007/08/09/matthews-bush-monologue/ Thu, 26 Nov 2009 09:15:46 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: J.D. http://thinkprogress.org/2007/08/09/matthews-bush-monologue/comment-page-9/#comment-4017384 J.D.

If ANYONE thinks that Matthews is a conservative, they have no political compass whatsoever. An old friend -- a Clinton White House operative -- introduced him to his wife who works for D.C. ABC affiliate; his a big Dem, through and through. Not to mention that worked for FOUR democratic politicians. EITHER WAY, his not too sharp and pretty much irrelevant. The other day he said, "Presidential candidate Duncan Hunter has a military background?" Um, yeah. If you're commenting on politics, you might want to know the politicians.

Assuming I was paying attention in class, it appears that an increase in one inevitably leads to a decrease in the other. Draw your own conclusions. The other salient point in the battle for yclept balance was that intellectuals of all persuasions were "employed" to shore up the argument for either liberty OR security. Sadly, I've never once heard, nor heard of, anyone striving for both. Again, draw your own conclusions... BTW, Bush is a distraction; he is merely a puppet, shoved out in front of the audience to get everyone's attention while the thieves ransack our cars and houses. Sadly, this MO is standard operating procedure in every nation on earth, with more or less humane variations extant. Watch, enjoy and occasionally throw some fuel on the fire. Be prepared.

If Bush is so wildly exstatic about democracy why does he push for real elections in Israel, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Jordan? why - because the US interests would lose and lose big. The US govnt doesn't care about democracy, that just the icing they feed to people willing to believe it.
