Fun Quote:
If you say someone is judgmental, what are you
being?
Strom's
Colored Daughter
I do not understand homosexuality or
interracial sex.
What Strom did in fathering a child with his
black maid disgusts me, but that sort of thing has never been
considered much of a moral lapse in any society.
It has always been the attitude of the group
that regards itself as superior that there is little wrong with
males impregnating the inferior race, but their women are the life of their
own
race. So superiors are not all that upset with men
bedding the housemaid in a British home or an American home.
But if the male servants bed the ladies of the house, that is a scandal.
What impresses me most is what an honorable person
Strom fathered. The media cannot understand why she
didn't capitalize on the situation. She says she didn't
want to hurt her father. Yankees are absolutely
mystified by
this.
I just think there are some decent people in
the world, and it's good to hear about one of them.
The Ten Commandments Controversy
Conservatives who are not babbling about Saddam
are babbling about the Alabama controversy over the Ten
Commandments.
Once again, like talking about Our Boys in
Iraq, this is a good way to ignore what really needs to be done.
I often laugh to myself about how outraged a
group of these frantic e-mailers on the Ten Commandments would be if some young man walked up and said, "You don't need the
Ten
Commandments. All you need is the Golden Rule."
They would say he was just awful. They
would say he was unChristian.
Well, a young man did say that. He said
it two thousand years ago. His name was Jesus.
The Ten Commandments, they tell us, form the
basis on which all law and decency was established. Hogwash.
They also tell us that God is worried to death about the State of
Israel.
Like the capture of Saddam, none of this has
anything to do with anything important.
An Awful Man is Captured, and Awful
People Care
The capture of Saddam Hussein will allow the
Bush Administration to put more men in uniform in Iraq. Our own
borders remain wide open. Congress just agreed to give the Iraqis
more billions of our dollars.
If Hussein hadn't been captured, liberals would
have had another weapon in their struggle to turn over American policy to
the United Nations. Leftists used our failure to catch Saddam
to prove that France was right. They call it
"cooperating with our Allies," but it means France.
Liberals love the France that gave Parisian
citizenship to the American cop-killer.
Nothing a decent American could care about is
being dealt with in Iraq. Capturing Saddam disappointed the
French and their kind. The United Nations was hurt by
the capture. Liberals hate any American success. That
was the nice thing about Saddam's capture.
Now let's talk about something that matters.
Saddam's capture just demonstrates again that
America is very, very powerful. The critical question is not
who controls Iraq, but who controls America. The evil
people in America fight each other over who controls Iraq.
We must keep our eye on the real goal. We
must defeat both the neoconservatives in the White House who want to
use America for things like controlling the Middle East AND we must
defeat the leftists.
This will not be done by frantic e-mails about
the Ten Commandments or Saddam or Bush or whatever other issue
is the big fad of the moment..
Liberals are Getting Hurt and They are
Ordering Respectable Conservatives to Help Them
St. Thomas More gave us an invaluable lesson on
the most effective weapon to use against Evil. He said, "The
Devil, Proud Spirit, cannot bear to be mocked."
Nobody is allowed to laugh at the left.
They see themselves as brilliant and radical. You can accuse
them of anything you want to, but if you point out that they are
just plain ridiculous, they go ballistic. Exposing liberal
silliness has become such
a habit that even Jay Leno has made it a regular
part of his opening monologue.
Leftism is SILLY.
The idea that a whole country run by
bureaucrats will be efficient, a.k.a. socialism, should be laughed at, not debated.
The idea that criminals are basically sweet kids should have been
ridiculed away before liberals ever had the chance to kill thousands
of people by putting hardened killers back on the streets.
Like Satan, the left cannot bear to be mocked.
So
every respectable conservative treats every liberal spokesman with
deep respect and regards every word of his drivel as serious stuff.
Like Jay Leno, who is a liberal, grassroots anti-liberals have begun violating the rules
that govern conservative spokesmen. We are laughing at them,
ridiculing them.
Another thing no respectable conservative is
allowed to do is to have a memory or talk about the liberals'
pattern of behavior. The last ten liberal policy disasters
are
quickly forgotten as conservatives gravely discuss the latest
leftist proposal.
We are beginning to call leftists what they
are, in plain English. That is something else that no conservative
spokesman ever does.
In the Iraq war, the left is once again on the
side of anybody but Americans. Ann Coulter wrote a book
about them called Treason. She goes into detail about a
pattern we all know: that liberals are always on the side of
America's enemies and detractors.
The left is being hurt by the very weapons respectable conservatives
are supposed to protect it against, a sense of
humor and a memory. For decades, any time a conservative
hit them where it really hurt liberals simply called him a racist or
something and the respectable conservatives ate him alive.
Liberals are screaming "Wolf!" and "Hitler!"
but anti-liberals are having too much fun and too much effect to
listen.
Where are the liberals' conservative
protectors?
Iraq Has Caused Conservative Spokesmen to Forget Their Duty to
Protect Liberals
Conservative spokesmen have not been doing
their jobs as respectable conservatives. Liberals are getting
hurt. Liberals are getting laughed at. The anti-liberals
who have memories and talk about treason and the pattern of leftist
policy failures are gaining popularity, and no conservative
spokesman has stepped forth to denounce them.
Liberals have been screaming their usual orders
to conservatives, in the form of outrage and insults and cries of
"Racism," to kick the anti-liberal opposition back into
line. Historically whoever they screamed at on the right was
instantly lynched by the respectable right.
Neoconservatives Demand that Conservatives
Follow Liberal Orders
The Kristol family rules the respectable right.
Kristol, Senior made his name and fame as
a liberal back when that was the thing to be. He was in
the very bowels of the liberal establishment. Then
Kristol Senior saw that liberalism was becoming unpopular, so he
started a movement.
He called this movement from the bowels of
liberalism Neo-Conservatism. It consists of people who say
that liberalism was The Only True Faith until on or about January 1,
1970. On or about that date liberalism suddenly and
inexplicably did every horrible thing that conservatives had said
all along that liberal policies would lead to.
The National Review types rejoiced madly when
neoconservatives joined them.
Here were former Big Names at Harvard and New York liberal circles
who were willing to sit and have lunch with the
conservatives they had before regarded as Irish peasants.
Not only that, these Big Names were
willing to WRITE for them!
Respectable conservatives were delirious.
And who knew better how to be respectable conservatives than
neoconservatives who had been (and, they tell us, still are) leftists?
So the top spokesmen of the respectable right today are the "neos."
The "Neos" rule the White House today and even the liberals cite
neoconservatives, not conservatives, as the group that got America into the Iraq
War.
But while the neos are leading America into
their war abroad, their attention has gotten off the one that
counts, the war here at home. Kristol Junior has now heeded
the liberal commands.
Recently Kristol the Younger wrote an editorial
in which he asked for "civility in our political debate."
It was all getting mean, he said. Kristol says that liberals
are justified in being upset at the outrageous attacks on them from
the right.
It is time, said Kristol the Younger, for us to
stop laughing at liberals, ridiculing them, and recalling their
patterns of treasonousness and hating Americans.
Liberals have called out the big guns, the
neoconservatives, to stop the assault. Soon the Buckleys and
all the other little respectables will be demanding this "civility."
But the right has tasted blood and it won't be
easy to recall the troops.
