Another week, another load of wingnuts: Ace of Spades – bin Ladin might have died of typhoid fever … so that’s why Bush hasn’t been looking for him! Our Leader is a genius!All Things Beautiful – Cyrus Nowrasteh, the guy…

(Which is also exactly why Jonathan Swift named his floating city of idiots after the Spanish word for whore: Laputa.)

Maybe the disparity is because we/they lost the Civil War. And let’s face it, Sherman marched right through south Georgia, burning and pilaging everything in sight, perhaps right near Jimmy’s homeplace. Therefore, maybe it’s in his genes.

Note to country: among other things, don’t elect a president who hasn’t gotten over losing the Civil War or who invented the Internet. More caveats to follow….

Colon, Carter…..Colon, Carter…..Colon Carter.

Makes my colin hurt just to watch them shake hands.

Carter is an excellent example of what the Chamberlain Left has to offer. Unfortunately as soon as Carter (mercifully for the citizens of the United States) passes on there will be another from the Left to take his place.

Jimmah is only the most naive and dangerous man ever to hold the office of president…and ex-president…

Democracy under Chavez

1992 Chavez stages failed coup in 1992
1998, 2000 Chavez elected

the following is excerpted to save space, not direct quotes
2004 Frontpage Chavez wins recall
- Chavez) prevented the counting of four million recall petition signatures
- that’s more than a third of the electorate
- Chavez insisted only those who voted in the election that brought him to power be allowed to cast a ballot in the recall. But millions had protested what appeared to be a rigged election by boycotting the polls in 2000
- the Supreme Court had been “enlarged,” that is, stuffed with Chavez loyalists (increased from 20 to 32 judges)
- election day voting hours were moved at the whim of the authorities
- Harvard/MIT report calculates 99 percent likely fraud
- exit polls showed Chavez losing by 59 percent

Frontpage 2002 a march on April 11 to protest Chavez
as marchers approached his palace, thugs began firing guns into the throng… 60 – 70 died… Videotape by local tv showed at least some of the gunmen were Chavistas, Chavez supporters , members of his “Bolivarian Circles,” as he calls his own Marxist militia version of Hitler Youth and SS storm troopers … This private army of ideological thugs and bullies, according to Chavez critics in Venezuela’s National Assembly, has been illegally funded with government money $4 billion of which vanished from the nation’s macroeconomic stabilization fund

Chavez ignored demands to arrest the killers and to this day has stonewalled calls for a “truth commission” to objectively document what happened. As to the media and its videotapes, Chavez has threatened to take away the broadcasti license of any TV station that airs what he decides is anti-government “propaganda

2006 Frontpage Chavez supporters won all 167 seats
in the National Assembly on Dec. 4 after major opposition parties boycotted the election, saying they did not trust Venezuela’s electoral system or the country’s elections council. The opposition has raised doubts about the nation’s electoral registry, an electronic voting system and electoral audits conducted by the council

Some may call this democracy.

with this type of Democracy, Gore would have won in Florida

this is how he feels like he is getting revenge on the people who snubbed him by voting bitch slapping him out of office.

There, fixed it for you….

Madeleine Albright criticizes Bush, war on terror

Bush’s practice of calling terrorist organizations and governments harboring them “evil” was challenged by Albright, who said that human nature does not lend itself to the absolutes Bush emphasizes.

“Evil depends on different perspectives,” said Albright, who was the country’s first female secretary of state. “This does not imply moral relativism, as critics may suggest, but instead acknowledgment that with great evil often comes a conviction of doing great good.”

Remember: 9/11 was just a “different perspective“… and Osama really just had a conviction of doing “great good.”

The United States is not obliged to apply the same standard of judgment to a country whose government is avowedly hostile to the US as for a country like El Salvador, where it is not. These people could bring about a situation in Central America which could pose a threat to US secutiry. That allows us to change our yardstick.

In 1984 it was official policy, as reported by theLASA Report, November 1984.

see that the 2004 Venezuelan election was probably rigged from the beginning

This is another example of American policy in trying to discredit the validity of a free election. Each time an elected official that does not necessarily reflect the interests of corporate America is chosen, the propaganda machine immediately begins to cast doubt on the legitimacy of the official.

While we champion democratic elections, our hypocrisy shines through time and again.

It’s amazing how much lefties will make of that photo showing Don Rumsfeld shaking hands with Saddam, yet they`will completely ignore Jimmy Carter’s role in saving Hugo Chavez’s political career.

And that failure to even acknowledge Carter’s role in ensuring Chavez’s political survival is a perfect demonstration of why I don’t believe in the sincerity of Rangel and Pelosi’s statements yesterday.

I’m pretty sure I’m not alone either.
