Lefty Logic
In evaluating the political scene
I read and listen to people on both the left and
The right. I apply logic and common sense
While my own prejudices enter in to the process,
I try to perceive the opposite opinion.
That is where I am continually puzzled.
At the left leaning web sites, on left leaning talk
radio, and in left leaning publications I read the
same stuff over and over and almost word for
word. Here are a couple of examples:
Bush lied about the reasons for going to Iraq.
May I refer you to UN resolution 1441? How about
speeches by John Kerry and Bill Clinton calling for
regime change in Iraq in 1999 and 2000.
Another: Bush has taken away our rights and
scuttled our Constitution.
I have seen lefty after lefty challenged to point
out one right that they don’t have now that they
had in 2000. None have ever answered. As for
me, I can do everything I ever could, so where is
the problem?
Still another: 75% of the American people are
against the war in Iraq.
Just prior to the elections of 2006, at a time when
things were looking bleak in Iraq, a survey revealed
that indeed 75% of the public was against the war.
That changed with the surge and recent successes
in Iraq. That doesn’t stop lefty’s from touting it like the
survey happened yesterday.
One More; Liberal politicians call for a return to
a constitutional democracy.
The United States has never been a constitutional
democracy. Since 1776 we have been a constitutional
republic. A HUGE difference. The Soviet union was a
constitutional democracy.
Short Takes
I liked that Obama comment,
“Sometimes I can’t tell who I’m running against.”
It is time for the Ron Paul to throw in the towel.
Give it up for crying out loud.
Packers
The Green Bay Packers fell to the New York Giants in
the NFC Championship game. As a fan the loss was
a disappointment but there is plenty of bright side. It
seems like the Packers have an excellent coach and
front office. They have selected good players and
coach Mike McCarthy has them playing solid
football. There are plenty of players that are early
in their career and this years success will lead to
veteran free agent interest. The building blocks are
there so it is likely that the Packers be around the
playoffs for several seasons to come.
