Important Stuff -- Or Not: Let's Roll!

Let's Roll!

I'll be watching very closely this week to see how much coverage this story gets. A caravan called "You don't speak for me, Cindy," leaves San Francisco (of all places) today. They, and caravans from cities all over the country will meet in Crawford, Texas on Saturday to show that Cindy "Bad Hats" Sheehan does not speak for the majority of military families or for the majority of Americans on the war in Iraq. By the way, the way her head is swelling, it might soon explode and make all of this moot. She is now calling herself the "spark" that ignited an "uncontrollable fire" that will supposedly sweep across the country and end the war. On Saturday, TRUE supporters of our troops will try to find out just what exactly these people find so unjust about establishing freedom and democracy where freedom and democracy have never before existed. Their job might be harder than they think. Bush supporters want to debate these aging hippies on the issue. The response? "We don't want to debate with people who don't understand our point of view." That from Michelle DeFord, whose 37-year-old son, Sgt. David W. Johnson, was in the Army National Guard from Oregon when he was killed in Iraq last fall. Just look at the arrogance in those words. Anyone who does not agree with these people does not understand their point of view. If you disagree with liberals, you are stupid. These people claim to support the troops but not the war. That doesn't even make sense. If you believe the war is a meaningless effort, then you believe your sons died a meaningless death. A meaningless death is getting drunk and smashing your car into a telephone pole. Dying while freeing people who have suffered under a brutal dictatorship for decades and a brutal religion for centuries is not a meaningless death. We know what Cindy thinks, but what did her son, Casey, think? Has anyone asked Cindy whether she talked to her son about his thoughts? Has anyone talked to Cindy about why her son reenlisted? Has anyone talked to Casey's father? Has he been given a one-hour sit-down as Cindy got from Alan Colmes? Not that I know of. Working in the media, I know that 90% of the power of the press is in stories that are not covered and questions that are not asked. Right now, support and opposition to the war are split almost evenly. If we had an intellectually honest press corps, support for this President and for this war would be overwhelming. From "Hanoi" Jane to "Bad Hats" Cindy, these people get older, but they never get any smarter.

25 Immutable Truths About Liberals

Over the years I've been writing this blog, I've been throwing out little self-evident truths that seem to have no exceptions that prove the rule. I've made a list of some of them and will add to it as I remember them or make up more. Most of this list I've come up with myself. A few I've borrowed from others.

1. Always expect the worst from a liberal and you will never be surprised.

2. Never try to reason with a liberal. They disregard any evidence that conflicts with their beliefs.

3. You can always tell what liberals are up to by what they accuse conservatives of doing.

4. Liberals don't debate, they argue.

5. The only standards liberals have are double standards.

6. Liberals feel, conservatives think.

7. Whenever you don't understand a liberal's motives, just look for the money.

8. Liberals cannot be embarrassed. They lack the gene to blush.

9. The Liberal Golden Rule is, "Do unto others but scream bloody murder if they do unto you."

10. Liberals don't have leaders, they have demi-gods.

11. There are no honest liberals. If they were honest -- especially to themselves -- they would be conservatives.

12. A liberal's business is nobody's business, but everyone's business is a liberal's business.

13. Liberals have an inflated sense of self-worth. They are like house flies that criticize the air-worthiness of a Stealth fighter. (Sarah Palin, George W. Bush, ad infinitum are morons.)

14. Liberals lack a sixth sense that conservatives have in abundance -- common sense.

15. Liberals never stop hating.

16. There are only two types of liberals -- the deceivers and the deceived. The difficulty is telling them apart.

17. Every time liberals get on their high horse, they get bucked off.

18. Liberal programs are so wonderful that they have to be forced on people.

19. Liberals always choke on their own medicine.

20. When given a moral choice, liberals always come down on the wrong side of the fence.

21. The only way liberals can build themselves up is by tearing others down.

22. Liberals not only refuse to learn from their mistakes, they refuse to admit them.

23. Liberals have only two political positions -- blind devotion and blind hatred.

24. Liberals are incapable of attacking the message, so they always attack the messenger.

25. Liberal diversity is only skin deep.
