Manipulating Ignorance, The Favorite Pass-Time Of Democrats

Democrats make pre-emptive strike on Iraq reports
(That means that the reports are GOOD for America.)

WASHINGTON: Leading Democrats on Sunday preemptively assailed the expected findings on Iraq due this week from the top U.S. general in Iraq as "dead, flat wrong" and said that President George W. Bush's calls for continued patience there would simply extend an "unconscionable" and "completely unacceptable" policy.

The pointed comments from the Democrats, including Senator Joseph Biden of Delaware, chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee and a presidential hopeful, and Senator Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts, seemed designed to undercut the impact of the much-awaited reports from General David Petraeus and Ryan Crocker, the U.S. ambassador in Baghdad.

"This president has no plan how to win and/or how to leave," said Biden, before whose committee Petraeus and Crocker will testify on Tuesday. He said that Bush was putting American troops "into the middle of a civil war to maintain the status quo," adding, "that is unconscionable, and he's wrong."

But Republicans laid down their own markers. Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina said that the troop increase was "undeniably working" and that "the only way we're going to lose this war is to have politicians in Washington undercut the surge."

Rather than withdrawing, he said on Fox, "Now's the time to pour it on."

Let me ask you a question.

Would you rather the United States WIN the War in Iraq, or LOSE it?

Do you have any doubt what the Democrats are trying to do here?

Is it working?

Are you willing to let them do it?

Michael Moore: "I've Run Out Of Ideas."

Michael Moore had ideas?

From Brietbart.com...

Moore takes parting shot at Bush in rockstar flick.

Filmmaker Michael Moore on Saturday predicted a landslide victory for the Democrats in the 2008 presidential election, but is taking no chances, rallying US liberals in his latest documentary.

"The potential for a (Democratic) landslide is enormous. People do not want to vote for the Republicans," he told reporters at the Toronto film festival premiere of his "Captain Mike Across America."

"The United States is a liberal country," he insisted.

"The majority of Americans are liberal. They hate that word and they'll never use it, but if you ask them, 'Do you think women should be paid the same as men; do you think that we need assault weapons laws; do you think the minimum wage should be raised' ... the majority of Americans take a liberal position on every issue, except capital punishment."

But voters were simply not presented with a strong-enough Democratic candidate in Kerry, he said. "They don't want to go into a polling booth and vote for a weenie for president."

Really?

Ask me those questions. Never mind, I'll ask myself.

Tug, do you think that women should be paid the same as men?

Tug: "Absolutely. My Wife makes more money than I do, and she doesn't work as many hours. I think that this is very unfair. Never mind that she invested in a college educataion for herself, she shouldn't be paid more than a man, no matter what."

"Actually, I believe that excellence should be rewarded, even at the expense of mediocrity. Sex does not enter into the equasion."

Tug, do you think that we need assault weapons laws?

Tug: "Absolutely. I believe that each and every American Citizen over the age of 18 should be required to own an assault weapon, and a supply of amunition. Those of us who can afford that type of thing should be allowed to own BlackHawk Helicopters, Tanks, and even Battleships and Aircraft Carriers. The purpose of the Second Ammendment is not to permit us to protect ourselves from one another, nor to allow us to hunt game, it is to allow us to protect our Freedom from oppressive Government.

"So if the Government can have a Nuclear Weapon, then I should be allowed to own one as well. Any governmental restriction on my ability to do so is a violation of my Constitutional Rights."

Tug, Do you believe that the Minimum Wage should be raised?

Tug: "Absolutely. I think it should be $250.00 per hour. (And time and a half for overtime.) America's Teenagers need extra money in order to pay the high tuition costs for College, which have been caused by Government loans and Pell Grants. The more Teenagers who can pay their own way through school on their own, the less Government money they will need. (Look into who it is that actually works for Minimum Wage.) "

Are these "Liberal" positions, in the modern sense of the word?

But then again, this was Michael Moore, and as far as I can tell, he has only ever had two ideas in his life.

1.) Tear down America.

2.) Tear down President Bush.

So, if he is indeed out of ideas now, that is a good thing.

Reid Offers Bleak Assessment of Iraq War

"Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Thursday the war in Iraq is "lost," triggering an angry backlash by Republicans, who said the top Democrat had turned his back on the troops."

I strongly disagree.

Harry Reid hasn't turned his back on the troops... He was never facing the troops in the first place.

And I disagree with his statement as well.

The War is absolutely not "lost." We know exactly where it is.

It's in Iraq.

"Reid said he told President Bush on Wednesday he thought the war could not be won through military force, although he said the U.S. could still pursue political, economic and diplomatic means to bring peace to Iraq."

Oh, really?

I'm sure the President had absolutely no idea until Wednesday that Senator Reid felt that way... I mean, it is such an unbelievable change of heart for Senator Reid. He has been so supportive of the War effort until now...

Let's break that statement down, using the context of History, shall we?

Political: Democrats in America attacking President Bush...

Economic: Starving the people of Iraq until they are too weak to fight the insurgents coming from Iran and Syria...

Diplomatic means: Begging, pleading with, and appeasing our Enemies until they are too busy laughing at us to commit mischief...

Peace: The absence of conflict.

Name for me a War in the History of the World that, once engaged, was won through " political, economic and diplomatic means."

Senator Reid, THE ONLY WAY TO WIN A WAR IS THROUGH MILITARY FORCE!

One side has to keep shooting until the other side stops shooting back. The first one to stop shooting is the LOSER.

(Oh, yeah, that's right. Senator Reid is not interested in WINNING the War, he simply wants to bring the absence of conflict to Iraq.)

If I were the President, I would thank Senator Reid for his input, and congratulate him. If the War is actually lost, then Senator Reid's efforts have been successful.

America may very well lose this War.

But if we do, it will not be the Insurgents who defeat us.

It will be Senator Reid and the Democrat Party in America.

If only they would pursue actual Victory in the War on Terror with the same passion that they display in their War on the President, and their War on America...
