Oh really? I guess you forgot about Bush’s infamous comma reference:

BLITZER: Let’s move on and talk a little bit about Iraq. Because this is a huge, huge issue, as you know, for the American public, a lot of concern that perhaps they are on the verge of a civil war–if not already a civil war–We see these horrible bodies showing up, tortured, mutilation. The Shia and the Sunni, the Iranians apparently having a negative role. Of course, al Qaeda in Iraq is still operating.

BUSH: Yes, you see — you see it on TV, and that’s the power of an enemy that is willing to kill innocent people. But there’s also an unbelievable will and resiliency by the Iraqi people…. Admittedly, it seems like a decade ago. I like to tell people when the final history is written on Iraq, it will look like just a comma because there is — my point is, there’s a strong will for democracy.

“Mr. Boehner went to Iraq this week to thank our troops for their service on behalf of our country and take a firsthand look at the progress on the ground that Democrats are so desperate to ignore. There isn’t a member of Congress who appreciates the sacrifices of our troops more, and Mr. Boehner had lunch with soldiers from his home state of Ohio today to thank them personally.

It’s apparent that Democrats and the Left are deeply afraid we are winning in Iraq now, and it’s clear they will do anything they can, including make false representations, to ensure our troops come home after defeat, not victory.”

Boehner is right about at least one thing: it’s jarring to see a ‘defense’ of our troops from those on the left who sit silently by when the attacks are coming from their own side. Where was TPM when Kerry accused U.S. troops of terrorizing Iraqi women and children? Or when MoveOn.org was sliming General Petraeus?

BLITZER: How much longer will U.S. taxpayers have to shell out $2 billion a week or $3 billion a week as some now are suggesting the cost is going to endure? The loss in blood, the Americans who are killed every month, how much longer do you think this commitment, this military commitment is going to require?

I agree that we have no business in Iraq, but I seriously doubt that a politician would say lost lives were a small price to pay even if he believed it.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA… live w/ yer own words, *sswipe. ;-D!!!

Insults? C’mon, stupid, all I did was ask how you’re doing, bud. And I’ll be waiting for a link to show that I’ve ever claimed to be better than anyone. However, considering your apparent love of bathroom humor and your fluency in vulgar language, maybe that link isn’t necessary after all. ;)

——————————————————————————–

1. Admit that you are powerless and that your life is best managed by strict adherence to progressive ideology.
Congratulations for taking this, your first step towards recovery. You will soon find a new global community of friends that are just like you. Your first step requires you to surrender independent thinking and acknowledge the wisdom of the majority. It is essential you learn to disregard facts in favor of consensus. Consensus to be defined by your sponsor, the Democrat party.

2. Come to believe that the power of progressive ideas can restore you to popularity and boost your self-esteem.
This step opens a vista of new hope and, if completed successfully, will guarantee you instant popularity and numerous social opportunities. Please visit http://www.move-on.org for the most current definition of progressive ideas. Keep in mind, it is not necessary to actually believe in these ideas but you must learn to give the impression that you do. (For the learning challenged, this means it’s OK to fake it.) Relax, have fun. You’ll be amazed how easy it is to fool most people.

3. Make a decision to turn your will and your life over to the Democrat party.
This is a crucial step. It is necessary you learn how to take instruction and follow directions.This step can be complicated. Please access detailed instructions @ surrendernow.com (credit card required)

4. Make a fearless and searching inventory of all your Republican and conservative friends.
For help on this step, it is suggested you refer to Al Gore’s book ‘Earth in The Balance.’ Inventory should include, but not be limited to, sins against the environment. Other examples include ownership of SUV’s, belief in free markets, holding pro-life views, voting Republican, watching Fox News, and/or supporting the phony ‘war on terror.’

5. Publicly admit the exact nature of all the past wrongs committed by America.
This step is crucial and mandatory. Past wrongs must include America’s shameful legacy of slavery, oppression, patriarchy and unbridled greed (capitalism). To thoroughly master this step, it will be necessary to refer to the teachings of Ward Churchill, Karl Marx, Noam Chomsky and Hillary’s college thesis. Other examples of America’s shameful sins may be accessed @ Edwards2008.com (credit card required)

6. Be entirely ready to renounce America, conservatives and Republicans.
This step is an integral part of recovery. It must be practised every day. The good news is, you’re now far enough along in your recovery to exercise some freedom in your choice of platforms. Letters To The Editor, bumper stickers and T-shirts are excellent ways to signal your renunciation of your old way of thinking. For the truly dedicated, a list of willing media outlets is available through FAIR (Fairness and Accuracy In Media) or simply google ‘mainstream media.’

7. Humbly ask the global community for forgiveness for America’s sin of slavery, homophobia, patriarchy, arrogance, egalitarianism and all other sins. (see attached list) “Better to appear virtuous than to be virtuous” –
Machiavelli

8. Make a list of all conservatives you know and become willing to remove them from your life.
Exceptions can be made for family members, said exceptions not to exceed two years.

9. Make direct amends to the Democrats and to Mother Earth
Direct amends are limited to $2,000 yearly but exceptions will be made. Contact Hillarycash.org for detailed instructions on how to invest your fair share. For amends to Mother Earth (this will cover ALL your environmental sins) it is recommended you purchase ‘carbon credits’. These credits may be purchased at Al Gore’s ‘giveusyourguilt.com’
Attention: You must be officially certified carbon neutral in order to have successfully completed this step.

10. Continue to take inventory of all Republicans and conservatives, and when they are wrong, promptly inform the Democrat Party and the media.
As stated in Step 6, you may access willing media outlets by contacting FAIR (Fairness and Balance in Media). To contact the Democrat party, please refer to your daily talking points e-mail for current list of approved Democrat head honchos.
Attention: Democrat head honchos can and will change suddenly. We expect to resolve this problem shortly, as evidenced by our campaign against Fox News and our aggressive plan to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine. We counsel patience.

11. Seek through group hugs and daily talking points to improve your standing with fellow liberals, knowing that they know best and are there to help you.
To ensure your sustained recovery, it is strongly recommended that you examine your feelings daily. Hugs to fellow liberals (especially liberals of Color) are suggested. And remember, crying is good. Especially if you fall within the approved category of ‘victims’ (See attached ‘victim’ list)

12. Having been successfully rehabilitated, it is now your duty to spread this message.

Congratulations, having successfully completed these 12 steps, you have gained membership in the most elite group in America. Feel free to take pride in yourself and show others your self esteem. Don’t forget to register your e-mail address with centraltalkingpoints.com in order to stay abreast of the most correct thinking. Now go out and take pride in yourself.

Remember: Do Unto Others Before They Do Unto You

typical lib- cant come back with a comment so you attack me personally

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA… live w/ yer own words, *sswipe. ;-D!!!

There’s great and piss poor parents in both political parties.

I can only speak for myself. I apologize for jumping the gun.

So you also had a problem with the generalization that I addressed in my first post, you just let that one slide? Good to know where we stand. ;)

Perhaps you should have directed your comment elsewhere. ;)

Try looking at the world without a slanted view of liberal vs. conservative and you’ll see most of us are somewhere in the middle.

Quit building walls and obstacles. We can discuss and differ on the more pressing issues of the day without a label.

Stupid, how in the world are you this fine morning, bud? ;)

Hell, is smut so attractive to you that you’ll never be able to consider the word restroom again without thinking of gays? Folks who find that sort of thing distasteful don’t really dwell on it. ;)

Comment by dlet — September 12, 2007 @ 9:34 pm

Oh no, Republicans take their kids to the restroom and spank them if they don’t listen. Liberals are the ones who refuse to “stifle the child’s creativity or expression” by making them follow rules of behavior. ;)
