Tokyo Rosie Nervous

Rosie O'Donnell has been grabbing attention by parroting the most irrational, irresponsible elements on the far left. Among other things, she is saying that 9/11 was a government conspiracy and that WE blew up the towers with controlled explosives. Her latest outrageous comment is that the British sailors deliberately entered Iranian waters to provide an excuse to invade Iran. There has been a rising drumbeat for Disney/ABC to get rid of her. She has the right to be as stupid as she wants to be, but she does not have the right to misinform the American public with these insane conspiracy theories. She must be getting nervous at the reaction, because she just posted this on her blog.

9/11 affected me deeply, as I know it did many Americans. The falling of the twin towers served to remind me that many of the assumptions Americans have about their lives are rooted in false feelings of security. In light of this reminder, I have begun doing exactly what this country, at its best, allows for me to do: inquire. Investigate. America is great in so many ways, one of which is the freedom to speak, and indeed think, freely. I have, of late, begun exercising the rights bestowed upon me by the democratic system I value, and the exercising of these rights has taken the form of an inquiry into what happened five years ago, an inquiry that resists the dominant explanations and that dares to entertain ideas that push me to the edge of what is bearable. I have come to no conclusions and, given the scope of the subject, will not for some time.

If the very act of asking is so destabilizing for people, than (then, not than) I have to wonder whether the fabric of our democracy is indeed so raveled it is beyond salvage. My own belief is that the act of asking is itself reparative, because it brings to life the values on which our constitution rests. I am, therefore, pledging my allegiance, hand over heart, trying, as always, for a rigorous truth.

She is doing what all liberals do when their anti-American remarks are questioned -- wrapping herself in the flag, hand on heart, the super patriot, who is only asking questions, searching for a rigorous truth. Pffft. Rosie is a hater. This isn't about 9/11 or the British or the War on Terror, this is about a left-wing nut who hates George Bush and wants to bring him down. She displays the worst trait of most liberals -- she considers herself superior to people who are her better in every measurable way. Give a liberal a forum and suddenly he is the smartest person in the world. No matter how uneducated, inexperienced, irrational, ill-equipped a liberal might be, he knows better than the President, the Secretary of State, the Pope -- just name it. He has all the answers. Bill O'Reilly has been tackling Tokyo Rosie's idiotic remarks and for his efforts, she has called him an "imbecile." Well, that was easy. Why bother to present evidence or use logic and common sense when all you have to do is call someone a name? Let me call her a name -- she's a spoiled child. In fact, as far as I've seen, all the far leftists are spoiled children, who will never grow up. Conservatives think, liberals feel.
