Viewpoint Journal is finally back up and running at long last! Through one issue and another, this site has been in various stages of disrepair, but I’ve finally resolved those issues.
Let me tell you though, that its very frustrating to really WANT to post commentary to my site and yet not be able to. On the day that Saddam was captured, I did not really have much to say, other than “Hoorayyyyy!!” The next day, however, was quite a different story.
It was on that day that the front running Democratic presidential nominee, Howard [i]Say Anything[/i] Dean came out with this whopper:
[i][b]”The truth is, Americans are no safer from these serious threats than they were the day before Saddam Hussein was captured,” he said. “We are no safer today than the day the planes struck the World Trade Center.”[/b][/i]
Okay, so Dean is saying that over two years later, after two wars, countless raids, the arrest of thousands who have been implicated with direct and/or indirect support of terrorist organizations, the creation of a massive new organization designed to help the various intelligence services in this country to FINALLY share information, the arrest of Saddam Husain, and much more, yet we are STILL NO SAFER TODAY? And this is the Democratic party’s front-runner?
Well, if Dean is correct, then I guess we should just give up right now and all convert to Islam. No offense to followers of this world faith, but I just assume that nothing short of our total conversion or total destruction will satisfy the bloodthirsty terrorists who have chosen to pervert this religion in order to justify murdering innocent men, women, and children.
If Dean is correct, then the only way that I can think to survive is to disband the federal government and all state and local governments and convert to an Islamic state ourselves. Sorry to those of you who don’t like this, but I guess we’ll just have to shoot you if you don’t convert, which is a popular practice in some Islamic countries.
And for those in Hollywood, CA, you might want to consider moving to another country, because fundamentalists are very likely to throw you in jail first. You see, conservative Christians are not the only ones who are concerned with the constant barrage of sexually explicit, overtly violent, programs you have been sending out across the globe. Unlike conservative Christians, however, the kind of Islamic fundamentalists who are responsible for 9/11 and many other atrocities are not the kind of people who will write articles and organize boycotts. Instead, these are the kind of folks who would see to it that you never saw the light of day again in your life, however long that might be. So, as you get ready to vote for Howard Dean in early November, 2004, you might want to remember the fact that Osama bin Laden likely hates all of you as much as he hates George W. Bush himself.
One quick note. I realize that not all Democrats like Dean; and certainly there are many conservatives in Hollywood who have been incredibly supportive of the war on terror. I don’t mean to paint everyone with a broad brush, but I do mean to paint a realistic picture of the kind of madness that I currently see emanating from the [b]front runner of your party’s presidential nominees![/b] Okay?
It seems to me that the frustration of close to twelve years of party decline, the popularity of a president who won a heart-breakingly close election in 2000, and some incredibly narrow-minded and short-sighted leadership within the DNC, has driven many Democrats to abandon all sanity. And supporting Howard [i]Say Anything[/i] Dean, the man who loves to tell people of the rumor that the President knew of the 9/11 attacks BEFORE the occurred, is insane.
Will some of these angry Democrats come to their senses? I’m not holding my breath. It seems to me that Democrats have developed a very bad habit of playing a game I like to call, “Follow The Loser.” You find someone who is willing to say and do extreme things, and you follow that person. Want some examples:
Bill Clinton - A man who could never seem to get away from scandal. Though, in my opinion, a far better President than the last Democrat, Jimmy Carter, scandal followed President Clinton even after he left office.
Hillary Clinton - Though she seems to be doing well as a U.S. Senator, her reaction to the Monica Lewinsky scandal was to publicly accuse conservatives of a “vast right wing conspiracy.” Also, lets not forget that Senator Clinton was a key figure in the Clinton administration’s attempt to socialize health care in this country, which played a major role in the 1994 election sweep that removed Democratic majorities from the House and the Senate.
Tom Daschle - A leader for quite some time in his party, his reaction to the election of George W. Bush was to blindly oppose him in every single thing he could, even to the point of changes his stance on a number of issues, including partially privatizing Social Security. It was perhaps his leadership, if you could call it that, which allowed Republicans to reverse a historic election trend during the 2002 mid-term cycle and actually GAIN seats in both the House and the Senate.
Terry McAuliffe - Hand-picked by President Clinton to lead the Democrats back to prominence, Mr. McAuliffe has been a disaster for his party. His style of attack politics has proven worthless in producing gains for his party. Even worse, his party is too paralyzed to recognize their mistake and remove him. Mr. McAuliffe may be a successful fundraiser, but he’s a lousy politician.
I could go on, but I think you get the point. The Democratic Party is one which today stands in shambles, with such internal unrest and dissent that it has brought them to this point; the point where a man like Howard Dean can say just about any angry, hateful thing he wants and STILL become his party’s front-running candidate for the 2004 election.
The angry left has its angry leader… And I can’t wait to hear what the guy will say next.
