A short recon of what’s out there that might draw your attention.

Of course, the professor would take my above statement to mean I condone a nuclear strike - which I do not. It’s just pathetic that grown men can talk about war as if they were teenagers.

Lakoff is willing to let the apocalyptic regime in Iran incinerate Tel Aviv, Los Angeles, London and so forth before we do anything about their nuclear program. Pomo leftists these days only care about their noble intentions. Not to do good, but to be non-judgmental and tolerant. We need to respect all “perspectives,” they tell us, even those about the Mahdi returning with Jesus to kill Jews and Americans at the end of times.

No, not at all. I am thinking of a specific example, to demonstrate the point, Iraq. What has happened there can only be the result of incompetence or malice, surely?

“Americans have survived far worse than executive malfeasance and incompetence.”

And of course you’ll survive it. It is just that both political options in your country are now clearly in favour of bigger and biger government, with more intrusion into your lives and more power abrogated to the state. Obviously, unless something big changes, you are headed towards more and more state control as time goes on no matter who is in power.

Might I be so bold as to offer some perspective onthe current state of affairs? Democrats said far worse things about another Republican President during a time of war a long time ago, and some even actively cooperated with enemies of the U.S. in order to compromise that war effort. For no other reason than said Democrats not getting their way and elevating the party’s interests above those of the country as a whole. Is any of this beginning to sound familiar, Drango?

In any case, if you don’t know what I’m referring to, google “Abraham Lincoln” and/or “Copperheads”. A little knowledge of this nation’s history might lead you to conclude that a) the country is bigger than its President, regardless of who he is and b) Americans have survived far worse than executive malfeasance and incompetence.

Well, given the results, surely it has to be one or the other doesn’t it?

Lakoff appears to be just one more hyper-reactionary leftist trying to bolster his reputation among his fellow “Bush=Hitler” echo chamber denizens. And if the idea of the President identifying threats to the U.S. and formulating responses is so horrifying to the good professor, perhaps he should begin lobbying his Congressional delegation to introduce a constitutional amendement that grants control of the military to Congress.
