Any Reason to Bash Bush
24 October 2007Regular readers of this blog know that I am no fan of President Bush. But the extent to which some on the left will go to Bash him is beyond ridiculous. The fires in Southern California are a case in point. While people are still losing their homes, the left is busy politicizing the situation. Barbara Boxer took the opportunity to claim that because of the war in Iraq the California National Guard did not have enough equipment for the situation. Not to be outdone, Lt. Governor John Garamendi complained about Bush’s visit in the midst of the crisis. Asked by leftist moron Chris Matthews if Bush’s visit would distract from the firefighting efforts, Garamendi said it certainly would. Of course, if Bush did not make a trip to California, he would most certainly have been castigated for that. Oh, and don’t forget that the fires are the result of global warming which is also Bush’s fault.
As I said, I am not a fan of George Bush. Other than judicial nominations and tax cuts, he has not impressed me much. But the level of partisan attacks is simply amazing. There are plenty of Democrats I dislike intensely but I cannot imagine going to such lengths to demonize them. What makes Democrats so unable to act rationally when it comes to George Bush? I know, they all think he stole the 2000 and 2004 elections but that cannot be all there is too it because it’s not just Bush they do this too. Harry Reid and others tried it with Rush Limbaugh and got humiliated for their trouble.
I wonder how this country can possibly pull together and move forward as one nation with so many willing to go to such lengths to destroy others. Hillary Clinton and Democrats in general love to bemoan the politics of personal destruction but the reality is they not only invented the strategy, they have elevated to an art form. They are constantly assisted by their willing accomplices in the media, like Chris Matthews asking such an asinine question to Garamendo above. And much of their rank and file seem to just eat it up. There is never any shortage of moonbats willing to come out to prevent some conservative from speaking somewhere. But you never see similar actions from the right. Doesn’t this tell you something?
Whether you are a conservative or not you must admit that conservatives are far more rational. We don’t go around making wild accusations and blaming liberals for everything from the sun rising to the rain falling. And we don’t make any effort at all to silence those with whom we disagree. We are perfectly content to debate the merits of our arguments. Not so liberals. They cannot tolerate dissenting opinions unless it is their dissenting opinion.
So if you are a liberal give this a little thought. If your argument is superior, why can’t you let it stand in the arena of ideas? If your ideas are better, why do you need to personally attack those who disagree with you rather than debate their arguments. The only real reason anyone ever has far such actions is they don’t believe their arguments can prevail. Otherwise why go to such lengths to silence or discredit your opponents? Of course, lust for power might just enter in somewhere.
