Nazis/Terrorists; Rhetorically Speaking: The Same Thing

Jeffrey Lord wrote a splendid piece yesterday for the American Spectator. The need to constantly place the current war on Islamo-fascists into a meaningful historical context will never go away with the mainstream media and their radical friends in the democrat party beating the drum to bring the troops home, and allow the word to take care of itself.

Were there no economic and security consequences, the entire nation would like to forget about the terrorists. We never hear any liberal leader or leftist politician expound fully on their theory of leaving Iraq and their vision of the post war global geo-political composition. The dirty little secret is that there is no plan. Read more »

Searching for Kaye Saunders-Sloan

Good Morning All: My great friend Kaye Saunders Sloan tried to contact me recently using the email provided on this blog in my contact information. The email address she used will not permit me to respond. There is something corrupt with the address. Kaye: please contact me again, and yes, it’s me. I could easily write an entire post about days at Anderson College, now Anderson University. There is “holy ground” at Anderson University. Any Anderson Alumni reading this post feel free to comment on your days at Anderson. Please join in the dialogue!

Here’s hoping that Kasey will try again! And here’s to Anderson University.

Nazis/Terrorists; Rhetorically Speaking: The Same Thing

Jeffrey Lord wrote a splendid piece yesterday for the American Spectator. The need to constantly place the current war on Islamo-fascists into a meaningful historical context will never go away with the mainstream media and their radical friends in the democrat party beating the drum to bring the troops home, and allow the word to take care of itself.

Were there no economic and security consequences, the entire nation would like to forget about the terrorists. We never hear any liberal leader or leftist politician expound fully on their theory of leaving Iraq and their vision of the post war global geo-political composition. The dirty little secret is that there is no plan.

If the media were to expose this vast, intellectually vacant philosophy, the democrats would lose in a landslide this November.

Although the liberals are screeching loudly, the lessons of Nazi Germany from World War II are directly applicable to the situation today.

After more than a decade of losing elections to Democrats, after three straight presidential losses to Franklin D. Roosevelt — the man conservative Republicans loved to hate — the scent of victory was at last in the air for the GOP.

But there was a problem, and a big one at that. The previous December 7th America had been attacked at Pearl Harbor. The attack was a disaster, killing 2,471 military and civilians and destroying a considerable portion of the U.S. Navy. For the second time in just over twenty years the country was now at war. Not only were we fighting the Japanese but the Germans and the Italians too.

Lord goes on to ask the question, what did the Republicans do?

Savage FDR? Run on a campaign of “Roosevelt lied and people died”? Should they go out and tell the American people just how dangerously incompetent the man was, that the best thing to do was make peace with Hitler and Japan’s Hirohito, then elect Republicans who would simply force FDR to bring home the boys and let the rest of the world cope with chaos? After all, a few years earlier FDR himself had turned back an ocean liner filled with 937 Jews escaping the looming Holocaust. The idea of not making Hitler, Hirohito or Mussolini any angrier than they were was certainly one approach.

The Republicans did none of the above. Instead, with the President on the political ropes at last, with a burgeoning team of attractive GOP candidates all over the country they did something else.

They rallied to FDR.

The Republicans won 44 seats in the house that Fall, and supported FDR through to victory in 1945. These Republicans did not commit the heresies against our people and our way of life as the current liberals do.

The disgusting display of political opportunism currently being demonstrated by the elected leadership of the democrat party is treasonous, and should NEVER be rewarded by voters at the polls this November.

God Bless Don Rumsfeld

In the midst of the worst attack on any public figure in recent history, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld gave a stunning speech on Monday further explaining and defining the current events in Iraq. He received little coverage for the speech with the exception of incessant, liberal sniping for being political. Wow! The liberal elites who manipulate the media every day are calling an American who has spent a large part of his adult life in resplendent service to our nation a hypocrite. Smarmy news bimbos get to mislead the public about the war while calling Mr. Rumsfeld a hypocrite. While Rumsfeld and the men and women of our armed forces fight terrorism, these people blame America for everything wrong with the world. After all, Jack Murtha said that we created the terrorists.

Paul Hackett: Latest Liberal Hatchet Man

 Update: LooK at Eyes on Fox for the Marxist view of this episode.

Outrageous comments are made daily by news anchors, reporters, and commentators on cable news. Partisan hacks often join in the fun, and it’s a little difficult to keep up with the profuse insanities. Great sites like News Busters, Hot Air, MsUnderestimated, and others have a constant flow of information regarding ridiculous assertions and tainted liberal comments. A few hours of watching the shrill voices of cable news in a week conjures up images of a screeching cat fight on a hot summer night. Read more »
