Battles Current, And Battles To Come
I don’t remember the web site location but, before the election there was a site with a comedy skit style debate between Bush and Kerry. There was a great quote in it that I should have recorded at the time. The tongue-in-cheek Kerry comment against the war effort in Iraq was something like, “Attacking Iraq after 9/11 would be like sending troops to Germany because Japan bombed Pearl Harbor.” It may require some careful thought, but this is one witty insight into the realities of confronting an internationally active evil regardless of variations in name and location.
Mice Defending The Rat’s Nest
The international Marxist media has gone to work with its daily propaganda screed again. This time, in Fallujah.
There is little counter-argument to the reality that Fallujah is a rat’s nest of Islamic – Fascist terror. A concentrated dose of former Hussein Baath Party thugs and Muslim Jihadists, all dedicated to thwarting the emergence of a new free and successful Iraq.
Of course, much of the media’s focus is, as usual, on civilian casualties, a tragedy to be sure. The media could have, of course made it’s point in World War II and other conflicts by playing up this concept. Common sense would tell one that, surely there are more than a few civilian casualties from the terrorist force's actions, but much of the media, oddly, isn’t interested. Just as Saddam’s torture chambers and mass graves are sidelined to the destruction that may occur from coalition actions, the terrorists are still, by some news sources, often depicted as "freedom fighters, defending their homeland" from, "The American occupation."
Unlike prior conflicts in history, before an attack, the US makes it clear to all, when and where the battle will take place. In spite of urges to leave, hide, and cooperate, many choose to take the enormous risks that will inevitably occur during a full scale military engagement.
When the Fallujah attack began, Kofi Annan, of course, jumped in immediately with his usual phony concern for civilian casualties –an issue he’s always slow to respond to if the U.S. is not an active participant in events (e.g. The Sudan).
To such news sources as Al Zazeera, the conflict is framed as nothing more than a focused attack on hospitals, mosques, and children (…for oil?).
It’s become a common strategy among the terror class to stock ammunition and belligerents in mosques, schools, and hospitals. When the smoke clears, Al Jazeera runs in and interviews some fascist goon wailing, “They hit the Mosque!” “They hit the school.” We’re supposed to be impressed by the cunning editorial choices of pro-terror journalism. Yet, the big complaint is usually that Fox news refered to our guys as, “Our guys.”
After viewing a regular dose of media anti-war footage one can almost believe that the average Iraqi wants random car bombings, no elections, and the rise (revival) of a fascist-Islamic prison state – I’m gonna go with common sense and think not.
Call me a backwoods / red-state fool but, I doubt that the average Marine feels that military objectives are best attained by deliberate strikes on innocents. Of course if one uses the Left / “anti-war” crowd’s standards, then always assume the worst intentions from America and always give the terrorists the benefit of a doubt.
Fallujah had become a microcosm of Iraq itself – a magnet for the scum-class of Fascist Jihad. For those who deride the “injustice” of captivity in Guatanamo Bay, I say we apply a swifter justice on the battlefield itself.
If the coalition side (and this now includes Iraqis) is successful, elections will be held in January and an open society will have a chance to emerge. The rats of Islamo-fascism don’t want that…and either do the mice of the international anti-US media.
The Battle To Install St. Hillary
With the smoke of the last election barely cleared look for some high profile nudges from the media to look favorably upon St. Hillary Clinton – Grand Duchess of self-absorbed socialist banter.
Hillary has always been a big favorite among the stale demagogues of the morning talk show / “news” circuit. If you think about her background credentials, she’s not even qualified to be Senator but New York, as we know, is a “Blue State" so she found her second rung on the political ladder – by apparently not sleeping with a former President (who she happened to be married to).
From now till the 2008 election we will hear nothing but good about this rabid cow of authoritarian coercion (that’s right, I don’t like her).
Another important angle to boost her “attractiveness” (in the double meaning sense, this will be some chore) will be a well orchestrated attempt by her and her media pals to appear very moderate. Like Kerry, she’s nowhere near moderate but, unlike Kerry, she’s smart enough to realize the need, early on, to look like she is (this had already begun over a year ago).
Fans of Hillary always note that she’s a “strong intelligent woman.” I don’t doubt that one bit. I’m not one of those people though, that thinks “strong,” “intelligent,” or “woman,” are automatic reasons to vote Socialist.
This is the lady who wanted to create federal “community centers” to consolidate the school system with all other social control functions under one roof – one big happy commune…for “The People.”
On several occasions, Clinton II has made it clear that she has no problem with a “strong, intelligent…[government] authority.” Unlike Kerry, she realizes the importance of toning the talk down. You won’t see her promoting a guest box at the Democratic convention for Michael Moore – that doesn’t mean she doesn’t see eye to eye with him on most issues.
Hillary is a strong, intelligent, woman, …and Mao Zedong was a strong, intelligent man -- what's your point?
More excellent insights regarding the construction of post election mythology:
“Democrats will need to decide what is broken before they can fix it. But many Democrats are in deep denial, telling themselves they lost because their candidates weren't far enough to the left, or that an epidemic of homophobia swept the nation, or that legions of Low-brow Lovers of the Baby Jesus emerged from the misty hills and hollers of Red State America to steal the power that rightfully belongs to those who drive Volvos and watch public television.”
Clifford May tells it like it is.
With similar insight, Charles Kruthammer also reminds us that neither, “Angry White Men” nor, “Bigoted Christian Rednecks” were the deciding factors in the last election – though the media would have us believe otherwise;
“Overnight, the revolution of the Angry White Male became conventional wisdom [after the Republican sweep of 1994]. In the 10 years before the 1994 election, there were 53 Nexis mentions of angry white men in the media. In the next seven months there were more than 1,400.”
Summary; Socialist Poly-Sci 101:
Remember now. If you believe in low taxes and the freedom to think, act, buy, and sell as you choose; you're a mean-spirited, angry, racist, fascist, red-necked religious nut.
If you believe in the powerful rule of bureaucrats and intellectuals, and a centralized government authority to control thought, action, and commerce; then you are a kind, wise, caring, loving -- non-religious -- saint...with flowers sprouting from your hind end.
