OF MORON’S AND NITWITS
What would we ever do without Kofi Annan?
Let’s face it…the guy makes it too easy by half to make the United Nations look like an international version of “Rowan and Martin’s Laugh in.” Listen to what this dufus has to say about our coming offensive into Fallujah:
“I wish to share with you my increasing concern at the prospect of an escalation in violence, which I fear could be very disruptive for Iraq’s political transition,” Annan wrote to the three leaders.”
“I also worry about the negative impact that major military assaults, in which the main burden seems bound to be borne by American forces, are likely to have on the prospects for encouraging a broader participation by Iraqis in the political process, including in the elections.”
Annan is feeling sorry for the beheaders, the car bombers, the suicide attackers, the rapists, the bitter-ender corrupt murderers who ran Saddam’s torture chambers for 30 years. He’s worried they won’t want to vote in the January elections.
These are the people that Chirac and his ally in the French war against America wanted to bring to the bargaining table if John Kerry had been elected. A lot of good young American kids are going to die to make sure that these thugs make it no where near a voting booth much less the halls of government.
It’s up to us to make sure their sacrifice means something.
IT’S TERRORISM, STUPID
Significant Otherhawk had some excellent observations about the election. In the 48 hours leading up to November 2 and as Bush’s numbers inched slowly lower, she reassured me that John Kerry would never be elected President. “The American people will never elect someone who doesn’t believe in killing terrorists,” she told me.
And that ultimately was the difference between George Bush and John Kerry. Bush wanted to confront the terrorists, Kerry wanted to either arrest or neutralize them. Instinctively, the American people realized that a dead terrorist cannot harm them. Otherhawk was confident that even if many voters were leaning towards Kerry as they went into the voting booth, terrorism would trump everything else and Bush would prevail.
And now that the left has adopted the “stupid, ignorant, homophobic red state voter” meme as a rationale for losing the election, it makes one wonder whether they’ll ever really “get it:”
SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 CHANGED RED AMERICA MORE THAN IT CHANGED BLUE AMERICA.
David Brooks
in his article today proves that it was terrorism NOT gay marriage or abortion, that drobve the Bush victory:
“Here are the facts. As Andrew Kohut of the Pew Research Center points out, there was no disproportionate surge in the evangelical vote this year. Evangelicals made up the same share of the electorate this year as they did in 2000. There was no increase in the percentage of voters who are pro-life. Sixteen percent of voters said abortions should be illegal in all circumstances. There was no increase in the percentage of voters who say they pray daily.”
If that’s the case, who then voted for Bush?
“The fact is that if you think we are safer now, you probably voted for Bush. If you think we are less safe, you probably voted for Kerry. That’s policy, not fundamentalism. The upsurge in voters was an upsurge of people with conservative policy views, whether they are religious or not.”
I wonder if Kos & Co. are paying attention?
