Susie over at Practical Penumbra pointed out the crazy lies and conspiracy theories of the left evidenced by the lunacy of Elderbear
In short here are typical conspiracies thought of by the left, followed by the truth.
Mr. Bush allowed Iraq to become a distraction from the war on terrorism.
First off, he's the President, show some respect asshole. It's President Bush, or Mr. President.
Unlike any other war in history, this war isn't a way against any particular country, or leadership. It is against terrorism. Terrorism is able to continue because of the facist regimes which perpetrate lies about America and western culture. When people are oppressed, they will do evil things. Evidence: Hitler's Germany.
Iraq is one phase of the war on terrorism. Having a stable western-friendly Islamic democracy in the middle-east will create a stable place for freedom to spread, and through freedom stability and peace will be sure to follow.
Mr. Bush lied to the American people and the world about the threat posed by Iraq.
President Bush never said that Iraq was an imminent threat. He said we should act before Iraq became a threat. He said Iraq is a gathering storm. And I guess since Bush lied, so did Mr. Kerry, President Clinton, Vice-President Al Gore. All of them called for Iraq disarmarment and the removal of Hussein as recently as 2000.
Mr. Bush has instituted policies that destroy the freedoms of Americans.
No freedoms are being destroyed. I still come and go as I please. I still own a gun, sleep in, and do everything I've done before 9/11. No freedoms are being destroyed. Unless you count the freedoms of non-American citizens who wish to destroy our culture, then yes, "freedoms" have been destroyed.
Mr. Bush has de-emphasized solving the Israeli-Palestinian quagmire
President Bush has done the right thing. Palestine is lead by Hammas and other terrorist groups. Hammas does not want to co-exist with Israel, they want Israel destroyed. Terrorists only know force, and by allowing Israel to deal with Palestine as a security threat it will ensure a more secure Isreal, a democracy and a true friend in the middle-east.
If elected, Mr. Bush can be counted on to continue a policy of international beligerence, thus strengthening the terrorist call to action.
President Bush is not beligerent. He is defending the United States in the manner outlined in his job description. His job description does not mean getting permission from the corrupt waste-of-space United Nations.
This same United Nations with their corrupted "Oil For Food" program where countries like France, Germany, and Russia had sweet deals with Iraq for purchasing their oil. No wonder those were the three countries which opposed our Iraq policy.
As you can see the left is totally losing it. When their only news source is moveon.org, or Democratic Underground, no wonder the kooky fringe is moving to the mainstream of the Democratic Party.
Thanks, Tom!! Henceforth thou shall be called, Tom the Dragonslayer...
Posted by: Susie at May 28, 2004 02:22 PMAn "asshole," a part of the "kooky fringe," and a (by implication) "dragon." Wow! But you're quite wrong about me being moved to the mainstream of the Democratic Party! I don't believe in right-wing causes!
