Some Rantings

Ok, first of all, this week, we had General David Petraeus testifying before Congress on the status of the war in Iraq. As if the moronic questions of the members of Congress weren't bad enough, the "protesters" who interrupted him with chants of "Bring them home" were just too much to take. I'm not talking about them being against the war, I don't care too much about that, I was against starting the war, but I don't want to walk away in defeat when we have our best possibility of victory since the beginning of the war. Anyway, disrupting Congressional hearings because a person is upset about something is not acceptable. And besides, what is Petraeus' crime? The fact that since he took over operations things have really turned around and gotten markedly better? I guess that would make the far left America haters dislike him. I don't care what people think of the war, General Petraeus is a hero and a patriot, and deserves great respect for doing great things in a very difficult situation.

Also, what is with everyone trying to proclaim that we have lost in Iraq? Don't they realize that defeat is impossible? We achieved primary victory very soon after the initial invasion. We could have walked away at that point and declared it to be a victory, as we had won completely up to that point. However, even people like me, who didn't want to go into Iraq to begin with, understood even from that point, that the country would turn into complete chaos if we didn't try to help them get back on their feet. Of course, they handling of that was very poor for quite some time, at the top levels, not by those with boots on the ground. Basically, what I'm saying at this point is, we can't lose, all we can do is either finish what we started, or give up and walk away, but we can't be defeated.

And what's with Hillary lying? Telling the story of the pregnant mother whose baby died, and then she died. In Hillary's version of events, they died because they couldn't pay for the care, and therefore care was refused. The truth, however, is a little different. The fact of the matter is that the woman, who she named by name, was insured, and was in fact receiving all appropriate care, but the baby was stillborn, and the mother died two weeks later. A tragedy to be sure, but certainly not an excuse to hand all of our health care over to the Government.

And what of Obama? Mr. Post Racial himself. A Grandmother who was a delegate for him, saw some neighbor kids playing in a tree, and told them to stop playing like monkeys (you know, because they were in a tree) because she was afraid that they were going to get hurt. Totally innocent right? Apparently not, you see the treed kids were black kids, and so she was accused of making a racial remark, and Obama's people asked her to step down as a delegate. So, basically, this guy will throw anyone under the bus, except for the real racists and sleazeballs in his life, there's no end to him defending them.

And something I just saw on the news, showing that Charlie Crist's (FL Governor) approval rating has dropped to 59%. Of course, the only way that his rating is that high is if they are only polling democrats, or liberal Republicans, because regular people can't stand the guy. Then they show that President Bush's rating is down to 28%. Of course, they don't tell you that Congress's is, and has been, far lower than that for a long, long time.

And, on the Mark Levin Radio Show he played some clips of Obama reading from his first book. Now, just they drivel that was written was bad enough, and totally racist, but in the audio clips you hear the words spoken in his own voice, and so you can hear the inflections and stuff, and so you can know that he means just exactly as bad as it seems when you read it. There is no question that this man is a racist. What else might he be? I guess that remains to be seen.
