Important Stuff -- Or Not: Good On Him

Good On Him

Bill Clinton rode to the rescue and extracted two "journalists" from North Korea this week. Of course, the knee-jerk reaction would be to say, "That's a long way to go to pick up a couple of Asian chicks." But, I have to be fair and balanced and say that Bubba done good. He knew he was being used as a propaganda tool and did not give Kim Jong Mentally-Il the satisfaction of smiling during their photo ops. He endured an entire day with this height-challenged lunatic with no signs of cordiality and without screwing it up. But what surprised me most was how he behaved during the reunion at John Wayne airport in Burbank. He wasn't the first one to pop out of the plane with his arms raised, basking in cheers and applause. In fact, he didn't emerge until the hubbub had died down, and then he stayed in the background. He didn't make a speech. I thought it was odd that neither of the women hugged him, even though at one point it looked like he expected it. I just can't find anything wrong with his actions in this matter. If only he weren't a serial rapist.

Jim O said...: I'm delighted that they're safe at home. Time will tell how much it will cost us.; 6:15 PM
Tonto said...: Yeah he didn't speak...but Al Gore did. I thot something is definitely Rotten in Denmark. I am sure we will never know the real story. But I did enjoy hearing Kim Jong Il rejected having Al Gore come or Biden...I didn't know Clinton had that much humility left in him....he must be trying to get into heaven at this point.
When I saw it on Fox news...and the way he was acting...I thought...Oh know..is he dying?; 9:18 PM
Trader Rick said...: I still hate him.; 6:37 AM
Jean said...: Yes, I think he "done good." There probably is more to the story. Glad the two women are home safe.

Bill Clinton, from what I've been able to tell, has done extensive work overseas politically since leaving the presidency. He does not talk down this country. When outside the US, he did not bash Bush (sometimes, at home, he did disagree, but that's different), and he's bluntly told the Middle East they've brought their problems upon themselves, and they need to do the work to fix them.

I did not like what he was doing as President, but, frankly, compared to what we have now, he was a wonder. He DID get the welfare rolls slashed. He did some things for the economy -- unfortunately, we're dealing with some of the fallout from that now, I suspect. But he was smooth. As a military member, I detested that he and his staff detested us, but the military serves to uphold and defend the Constitution.

There are things a former Head of State can do that the current one cannot. This was a perfect example. At least it wasn't Jesse Jackson.; 9:45 AM

Talking Points

I don't use talking points, I create them.

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.
