Topic: Karl Rove Hits Back
Hit ‘em Again!
As a student of American history and politics, I am loathe to ever label a particular American institution as something less than worthy of praise, but in the case of the modern Democrat party, I will make an exception. The truth of the matter is that modern Democrats, and their parent organization, the D.N.C., is as anti-American as you can get. They are no longer just a party with differing opinions as to the best solutions to the problems that face this great nation, they are now a party that a) refuses to acknowledge the greatness of this nation whatsoever, and b) actively seek to undermine the principles and beliefs that have proven essential to our national well-being. This is not the work of patriots, this is the work of traitors.
Now, before I continue, I guess I need to offer the requisite disclaimer so that the nitwitted Left does not feel compelled to object with their standard “no stereotyping!” tactic. So, this is for them: not ALL Democrats are traitors! But, having said that, the Democrat Party is clearly dominated by extreme Leftists that hate all things American. How else could one explain the election of Howard Dean, a hateful, irrational man of Michael Moore proportions, as the head of the Democrat National Committee, and thereby, the boss of all Democrats? If there are so-called “moderates” in the party anymore, clearly they have been neutered by their “liberal” friends who installed one of their own into the top-spot.
By the way: don’t let words fool you. Left-wingers love to describe themselves as “liberals” or members of the “Democratic (sic)” party. They are neither champions of liberty nor defenders of democracy. They are just the opposite. This is an old trick first used by Lenin when he decided to name his new political party the Bolsheviks. “Bolshevik” can be roughly translated as “majority”, with the implication that his party was preponderantly popular with the Russian people---something decidedly not true. But Lenin understood the value of propaganda, as the modern Democrat party does as well. So when it comes to the chosen names of various liberal organizations, just assume they champion the values opposite of those proffered by a particular appellation.
Back to the argument at hand.
I think the clearest indication of the patriotism of the Left can be found by examining the words of top Democrats regarding our valiant war in Iraq and Afghanistan. While Republicans, and sane Americans of all political stripes, see the manifest value of winning this fight, Democrats have done nothing but seek to actively undermine the war effort and all those associated with it---including the troops. How else to explain House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi publicly calling the Iraq war "a grotesque mistake"? Or Democrat John Conyers crafting a petition, now hosted by Moveon.org, asking the president to explain if there was “a coordinated effort with the U.S. intelligence community…to ‘fix’ the intelligence and facts” concerning the justification for going to war in Iraq? Or Senator Ted Kennedy proclaiming that President Bush “concocted a war for political gain.” Or Richard Durbin, the Democrat’s number two man in the Senate, equating the behavior of U.S. troop at Gitmo with Nazis concentration camps, Soviet gulags, or Pol Pot’s killing fields? I could go on, and on, and on. The point is that these are not the words of patriots who claim to support the troops. These are the words of individuals who seek to pull the rug out from under the very troops that have liberated millions from despotic regimes in Iraq and Afghanistan. And that is treason in my book.
No one should be surprised by this type of behavior. After all, this is the Democrat Party that willingly lost the Vietnam War via the same tactics. First they innocently questioned the war’s legitimacy. Then they proceeded to emphasize all the innocent civilians being harmed by U.S. military operations. Next, using their colleagues in the media and pop culture, mass protests of the war were organized with assured network coverage. Before long, demands for a timetable for troop withdrawal were heard from the left side of the aisle, no matter what the harmful implications it would have for the people of South Vietnam. Finally, once their goal was within sight, all pretense of supporting the troops were cast aside, and the U.S. military was made focus of all evil in the world.
When it was all said and done, millions of Vietnamese and Cambodians were sentenced to death by the communist regimes that moved into the vacuum left by our troops. Worse, the American military was a shattered wreck, and U.S. prestige around the world was at brought to an all-time low. Of course, for liberals, this was a victory for their global, anti-American, Marxist cause---a victory still cherished to this very day (alongside the ousting of Nixon, of course).
And this is exactly what the modern Left, as represented by the D.N.C., seeks to achieve yet again. You see, to your mainstream liberal, America is the worst nation on the face of the planet. Even when we do undisputed good, such as deposing a thug like Saddam Hussein, libs just assume it is all part of a nefarious plan to further enslave humanity with the American yoke.
This is why I found it so encouraging to hear the word’s of Karl Rove this past week. He had hit the nail on the head when he said that liberals, who had witnessed 9-11, wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy to the terrorists. This, of course, is quite true (as evidenced by the MoveOn.org memo telling the president to use “restraint” when responding to the attacks), and is why the Left is going absolutely nuts over this candid accusation! The truth is not the friend of the modern leftist because they know that if they were made to come clean concerning their beliefs and goals, the average American would run screaming in the opposite direction. So for Rove to make this statement was to come dangerously close to “outing” the average liberal Democrat.
I found it particularly amusing how New York Senators Charles Schumer and Hillary Clinton felt obliged to have a press conference demanding an apology from Rove. While Dick Durbin was comparing American troops to Nazis, Charles Schumer and Hillary Clinton managed to be blissfully unaware of that national controversy. Hillary was too busy pushing another form of her socialized medicine (during a radio interview, she was asked about Durbin’s remarks, but refused to offer any comment on the issue), and Schumer was too busy demanding the resignation of Ken Tomlinson, the chairman of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (clearly, Tomlinson’s crime was to have the audacity to utter his belief that PBS had become too liberal and needed more political balance without first checking with the D.N.C.). However, when Mr. Rove made his truthful observation, the Dynamic Duo sprung into action almost instantly! How dare Rove speak that truth without their permission!
The hypocrisy is simply staggering.
Now, some Republicans have been off the mark in responding to the words of Mr. Rove as well. Bill Kristol said that the comments went too far. Brit Hume disagreed, but was quick to point out that Rove was not criticizing all liberals, just those of MoveOn.org. The truth of the matter is that Karl Rove was criticizing all liberals, and rightly so! We must not shrink from the truth! Liberals are not the friends of America and deserve no polite consideration or courtesy when discussing their motives and methodologies. The sooner they are exposed as what they are, traitors to the American way of life, the better we will all be.
This whole incident reminds me of the Charles Sumner affair. On May 19, 1856, Whig Senator Charles Sumner, an ardent abolitionist, made an impassioned speech in which he denounced the pro-slavery "Border Ruffians" in Kansas Territory. Three days later, an enraged Southern Democrat, by the name of Preston Brooks, entered the Senate chamber and bludgeoned Sumner with a light cane! When word of the attack spread across the nation, Brooks received new canes from supporters and well-wishers, many inscribed with the motto “Hit him again!” Brooks ultimately resigned his office, but was overwhelmingly re-elected to his former position as South Carolinian congressman once again.
In my opinion, Democrats have continued to beat their opponents around the head ever since. Strapped for good ideas, they have had little else to offer than ad homonym attacks to counter G.O.P. ideas. But, for a few moments last week, a senior Republican had the courage and audacity to snatch the cane from their hands and issue a beating of his own. So, to the brave Karl Rove, I offer this: Hit ‘em again!
