History's Hostages
President Bush just announced that we are not
in Iraq for our own security. He got us into Iraq by saying
it was for our own national interests. Now he says the Iraqi War
had nothing to do with American interests.
Lyndon Johnson made the same switch about
justifying the Vietnam War when that War got out of hand.
Bush’s switch from arguing the war in Iraq is
in our national interest to saying it for foreigners is routine. It
happened with Lyndon Johnson and it happened with Franklin
Roosevelt.
You can't criticize Roosevelt for getting us
into World War II because so many fine young Americans died in World
War II. If you attack Roosevelt, you are insulting those young
Americans.
The young Americans who died in World War II
are the hostages who justify Roosevelt's getting us into World War
II. If you dare to criticize World War II liberals say,
"Do you want Hitler back?"
Bush is trying the Hostage Strategy and Johnson
tried the Hostage Strategy because Roosevelt succeeded with the
Hostage Strategy.
When we first went into World War II, President
Roosevelt said it was for America’s national interests. Then a lot
of Americans got killed. Those Americans who died became
President Roosevelt’s hostages.
Once all those young Americans had died for
Roosevelt’s war policy, you were not allowed to argue that Roosevelt
was wrong to get us into World War II. Any American today who
questions Roosevelt’s foreign policy is called a traitor.
Those young Americans who died in World War II
have become Franklin Roosevelt’s hostages. So Johnson used those
hostages to get tens of thousands of young Americans killed in
Vietnam.
Lyndon Johnson got us into Vietnam by saying
American forces were attacked by North Vietnam in Tonkin Bay. Then
the Tonkin Bay Incident was shown to be a fake. But by then
Johnson had gotten thousands of young Americans killed in Vietnam.
So after his original justification was
discredited, President Johnson said that all those fine young
American men had died for the sake of Vietnam and he would keep
fighting for their sakes and for the sake of Vietnam.
Bush got us into Iraq by arguing that that war
was necessary for America’s security against terrorism. Now he says
the war was all for the sake of Iraq and Israel and “America’s
allies.” Apparently he thinks enough fine young Americans have now
died to let him fall back on the good old hostage strategy.
And Bush's punch line is, "Do you want Saddam
back?"
The Outraged Negro Gambit
You can tell by the title that is an old, old,
old liberal strategy. It was old back when blacks were called
Negroes.
I got an example of the Negro Outrage Gambit the other day. A guy who said
he was black repeated every liberal cliché in the book about white
evil. Since he is black, I am supposed to take this, not as a
recitation of liberalism’s silliest crap, but as genuine Negro
Outrage.
It was probably from a liberal. Everybody
knows exactly what the Outraged Negro is going to say.
These Negro Outrage things always include a
threat or two. He told me how blacks would get white women.
If a white person writes a whole book and
happens to mention to mention that he would like to get rid of
blacks somewhere in it, you would expect a black man to pick up on
that. All Negro Outrage includes a reference to getting white
women, but whites are not supposed to notice.
I pointed out to him that present “anti-racist”
policy requires that EVERY white majority country bring in and
integrate with non-whites, and that liberal policy demands that ONLY
white majority countries bring in the third world and mix with them.
Blacks and browns are regarded by liberals as a
weapon against whites, and that was what he was talking about, too.
I told him that I am white, and I don’t like
his genocide.
He never wrote back. They never do.
The one thing that neither liberals nor
Outraged Negroes can deal with is a
white man who insists that he has feelings, just like people do. No
respectable conservative will ever say that.
But then again, no respectable conservative
ever has the guts to identify himself as white.
Nobody Calls a Fool a Fool if He's an "Expert"
Someone has been planting weapons on planes to
show up the Federal bunglers who are supposed to handle security at
airports. They had a former New York City Police
Commissioner to comment on it, and he said exactly what you would
expect a former New York City police commissioner to say.
He said the sickos who planted the weapons were
the real problem. He said the real problem was that some
terrorist who didn't have a weapon might happen to find those box
cutters and use them. Security wasn't to blame.
When he was New York City Police Commissioner,
the same guy said the reason there were a lot of murders in New York
was because honest people had guns which the poor, innocent
criminals got hold of.
This clown is now handling security in Iraq.
