The Incredible Chutzpah of the Left

They lost the election fair and square. Unlike the 2000 one, this time Bush won both the electoral and the popular votes. And now that they have lost they tell us the right has to become conciliatory after that terrible and divisive campaign we waged against them.

You know, the people who called Bush a Nazi in public, claimed he lied, claimed he knew about 9/11 before it happened and invaded Iraq on bad evidence now has to agree with the losers on what this country needs.

And, of course there is the media. People such as Jane Smiley, whose recent Slate article reads like a progressive version of the Turner Diaries and Dan Rather-biased who, with his cronies at CBS News and the New York Times has fallen to levels of investigative journalism that would be considered unacceptable in junior high school. Frankly, the only reason I believe Bush didn't win by ten points or more is because of the vast numbers of Americans who still get their news from the mainstream media.

Well, get over it people. The right has the Presidency, the Senate and the House and you are out of it for at least another four years. You can expect to see one or probably more Supreme Court nominations that do not believe it is their job to right wrongs but to interpret the law.

Dutch Angst

It is interesting to watch the Dutch try to deal with their "jihadist" issues. In the classic liberal fashion, they try and avoid making any hard decisions. Somehow they seem to blame Mr. van Gogh rather than the vermin who took his life. The mayor of Rotterdam took down a mural that said, "Thou shalt not kill" to avoid inflaming Muslims and there were other similar actions by people too buried in political correctness to understand that they are playing directly into the hands of Islamist fundamentalists.

If Gore had been President instead of Bush, what would we have seen happen in this country after 9/11? This is simply more proof that the mindset of the "progressive" left is incapable of dealing with reality. And, this last week, the electorate agreed.

Despite any misgivings about President Bush, he does understand that the only way to deal with bullies or thugs is not some form of dialog or study but the application of an even greater amount of force; seemingly the only thing they are capable of understanding.

Four more years!

Thank goodness thats over with! Now we can get on with our lives again. John Kerry will move back to Boston or D.C. or anywhere but where I might be and President Bush can get on with the war.

I'm going to be paying a lot more attention to the Iraq and other Mideastern conflicts as well as Donny-boy and the lads at the Pentagon. These are the boys who seem enamored with the Stryker, a 19 ton armored car too big and too heavy to fly on a C-130 even before it is armored to defend against RPG attacks or even .50Cal heavy machinegun fire while troops do without protection on the vehicles thay already have.
