Looks like the loony-left is creeping ever closer to its ultimate goal; the impeachment of GW. Like a pack of hounds at the track, eyes fixed on the electronic lure that surges just ahead, the left has never let it�s eyes off the target. Nothing has shaken the rabble from its hate, or from it�s determination to somehow and finally find satisfaction. �I can�t get no� Satis-faction� must be the constant refrain playing again and again in the craniums of a million unhinged minds, as the good�ol boy from Texas, and his evil borg controller, Karl Rove, dodge, duck, dip, dive, and dodge their way out of one trap after another.
Which “Bush done it� are we on now? One thousand two hundred and forty-three is it? I�ve lost count. From wild conspiracy theories to sober pronouncements, like Walter Cronkite claiming that Rove and Osama are in cahoots, the Bush hate syndrome has gone so far over the top that it won�t be long and the American Psychiatric Association will have to name a new syndrome after it.
The Opinion Journal looks at the latest and greatest of the left’s fantasy orgasms�. �Impeach Bush!�
In other words, everything that Mr. Bush has been accused of during the last five years, no matter how Orwellian or thoroughly refuted, will be trotted out again and used as impeachment fodder. And lest you think this could never happen, Judiciary is the House committee through which any formal impeachment resolution would be introduced and proceed. As the country heads toward 2008 and a Democratic nomination fight, John Kerry and Hillary Rodham Clinton would be hard-pressed to avoid going along with Mr. Feingold, Al Gore, and others feeding the bile of the censure/impeach brigades. CLICK
At Celestial Junk we let Michelle Malkin do the talking by reviewing her latest book, which examines the topic of Liberals Unhinged. As well, we ask you to consider just how much loony-left behavior those of the right have come to accept as �normal�. CLICK
Which brings us to an interesting question: What syndrome would one diagnose the loony-left political class with anyway?
Update: From the comments posted by Penny
Here’s a mind game. Match the groups or individuals to the party they are most likely to vote for:
*smut/porn peddlers
*ex-cons
*leftist academics
*Ward Churchill
*public service workers living off the taxpayers
*Hollywood
*mainstream journalists
*angry blacks that want slavery reparations/ resent welfare’s demise/respect the achievements of Al Sharpton and not Condi Rice
*O.J. Simpson
*teacher’s unions
*Al Qaeda
Twas in jest Penny.
the “Whimper” syndrome. Can’t get what I want, so I’ll just go over here and pout.
In the end it won’t matter what anyone thinks of Bush, history will remember him as a War President, and right or wrong, he did what he did.
The simple fact is this is not Vietnam, or Korea, and Bush is not fighting Communist insurgency, he’s fighting religious zealots, and there is a world of difference.
If I were a President, and I had the choice to either fight at home, or take the fight to them, I would alway’s take the fight to them.
The US has enough trouble without having terrorists running around blowing shit up. Last time I checked, the US didn’t try to hide the fact that it has international interests, and woe to the nation or person who chooses to interfere with that.
Is George Bush right? I’m not certain that right or wrong plays towards the decision making process of the (in truth, not fiction) largest democracy on earth. 300 million people live to achieve a dream of freedom, and it’s not a static dream.
You don’t just wake up one day and say “okay, I’m free now, I don’t have to do anything else, I’ve achieved my goal”. It’s a dynamic process which continues to take on new meaning and new manifestations as time rolls by.
America was built on the ideal and quest for self-determination. No one says it’s finished that journey, but how can it take that stance, if it doesn’t attempt to promote it at every chance. Sometimes you have to hit a person on the head to see the roses for the flowerbed…
When you have a country like Iraq, which has been ruled in one way or another by dictators, and the dictator of the moment is a royal pain in the ass to the entire world, you might say to yourself “they are not getting it, so we’ll just have to show them”.
Should the west allow ourselves to be threatened by extremism, should we bow to fanatic’s. Who in their right mind would trust the fanatic’s to keep their end of the bargain, and stay away from us.
Someone said it here earlier, and I agree, Sadaam had the chance to take the easy road, and he decided to spit in our eyes instead. This is a man with his thumb on an enormous source of wealth. Do we dare trust someone like that not to seek power through weapons of mass destruction? Does it even make sense to expect him not to pursue that avenue?
Can you honestly say that if you were Sadaam, and you’d pissed everyone off, that you wouldn’t find anyway possible to strengthen the hand dealt to you? I know I would. When your back is to the wall, you come out fighting or you make peace.
He decided to fight. His people decided to support him, and the ones who didn’t, didn’t try to stop him. He made his bed, and we burned it out from under him.
America stood up against tyrants on it’s own, America fought a war over civil rights, America has walked the walk. It has a right to protect what it paid for in blood, and if the rest of the world wants America to stop sticking it’s nose in where it isn’t welcome, then the world had best stop asking for assistance.
When the meglomaniacs, butchers, and freaks come out of the woodwork to screw everyone up, they always scream for the states. When America preceives a threat to America, it has a right to act. Just because the French and Germans think it’s high handed doesn’t mean it’s unjustified.
They were just pissed because Sadaam owed them money.
Twas in jest Penny.
I figured as well. But, any opportunity to get my licks in on the leftists I’ll take.
Not meaning you, William.
If there was any justice in the world, in 100 years the Iraqis will have erected a statue of GWB in their country as big as the one that they tore down of Hussein.
You got a problem?
Blame one of these three and you’ll find the culprit.
Bush, Global Warming, the Devil.
haha
Wait, Bush causes global warming, and Bush is the Devil, so yep its ALL BUSH’S FAULT! That logic should play well with the left.
Moral Mauler. Thanks. I should have put quotation marks around what Stan said. Iraqi people showed amazing courage voting, and calling their goverment a puppet is a real insult to them, and gives ammunition to Islamo fascists and other American-haters. BTW I didn’t support US invasion of Iraq. Containment as doctrine working fine; however, I believed likely he would have to be dealt with later. I am proud as can be of our military in Afghanistan and our PM for giving then a needed boost. I believe this is where nexus of war on terrorism should be, not necessarily Iraq. What’s done is done, so US must finish job in Iraq too. Just real tired of US=bad, anti-US=good argument. US has done a lot of good, just with a bad habit of invading someone every five years or so. Military action should be used when no other action will work, ie-we are dealing with group that hates us and wants to kill us. Deterrence doctrine of choice for Iran and North Korea. In the end, the forces of anti-modernity cannot prevail unless we let them.
I thought Ralph Nadar was the devil? Or was it Anne Coulter… I get the two confused, they look so much alike, in a scarecrow sort of way.
I see Ryan has this figured out. Clever fellow. You see how it works. It makes it easier to ignore the trolls.
The Democrats are too embedded in the nation’s history to just collapse. It’s been a long, slow, painful letting-out of air – see Mark Steyn’s obit of Gene McCarthy in the March Atlantic (and his great comment, to the effect that it was too bad “McCarthyism” was already taken as a descriptor in American politics in 1968). And 35 years after “fusionism” (if you don’t know this term, look it up, very important), it’s still holding together somewhat. So I don’t see major realignments. But I have friends who are real (economic) mid-to-leftists and they are deeply disturbed that the party of Jefferson and Jackson has been taken over by these one-issue (Bush is EVIL!) nuts. What happens after Jan 21, 2009? Talk about not building for the future. And in the meantime, they are forcing anyone who is not psychopathic into the Republican Party for the time being, but how big can the tent get? It’s as true of the Republicans now as it was of the Democrats back in 1988, when P. J. O’Rourke wrote: (quoting from memory) “Jesse Jackson says the Democrat party needs both wings to fly, but a bird with Lloyd Bentsen way out on one tip and Michael Dukakis out on the other is not one I’d care to stand under when it flies over.” Of course the Lloyd Bentsen “wing” has been killed off long ago, and even Dukakis seems rather moderate these days. But when we Republicans have an Alabama county commissioner on one tip, and Michael Bloomberg on the other, it doesn’t augur well for our political health, either, is what I’m saying. And practical Libertarians will still be stuck with “fusionism” in the Republican party, while idealistic Libertarians will still be stuck with looking for tenth-of-a-point percentage improvements here and there. Sorry, majorly major realignments only happen just before really nasty internal events in the U.S., so we’d better hope there’s no major fall-apart in 2008, anyway. More co-op-tation, only faster, please! I just want the grown-ups to take back the Democrat party, is all – but maybe they’re all “over here”, that’s my worst fear.
Just a handy hint to near and far: Anyone who depends on Lewis Lapham for their understanding of the American scene will end up having a very poor understanding of the American scene. Just FYI.
Snowbunnie: “Since George Soros is behind most , if not all, of this with his money and his resolve to ruin the democracy of the United States for his own stated ends not to mention his questionable affiliations, it isn’t surprising the level of irrational rhetoric.”
That was the funniest bit of unintentional irony I’ve ever seen.
More mind games: Match the groups or individuals to the party they are most likely to vote for.
smut/porn consumers
ex-cons from enron, world com., watergate, iran/contra,…oh yeah, they’re already in the Bush administration, or on right-wing open mouth radio.

Meg, good points, but………
I still think the Dems are DOA. What American(besides the losers on my list) will put them in the WH as long as the WOT rages and threatens us?
They exist only because via gerrymandering on their part and public service unions they can make it on a local, state and congressional level. The gerrymandering is being dismantled, granted not fast enough.
As blacks rapidly fill the middle class, they too have kids at risk from Anthrax and a dirty bomb. The Dem plantation vote shrinks just on that issue.
Every stinking corrupt state in our union is Dem controlled – PA, NJ, NY, etc. They are heavily taxed and that is pissinging the weary locals off.
Hillary is dead meat. Men of every party hate her. Poll after poll says she’ll lose. America ain’t putting a Clinton back in the WH. Their triangulation bs isn’t workig now. Joseph Lieberman, a liberal hawk, the Dems have vilified. Lard-assed Michael Moore was seated with Carter, another loser, at their last convention. Re-run that in ’08 for public scorn.
Who are these birdbrains going to run?
Dems morphed into pathetic craven creatures. Consider that they own the airwaves, print and campuses and we still defeat them.
They need to die. History has overtaken them. Christ, they now act like collaborators and appeasers to the public. How dead can you get?
They got only the braindead left as supporters.
For those of you that think the Iraqui people should have freed themselves from Saddam, do you also feel that battered women and children should free themselves from their abusers—even in the face of death? From what I’ve heard, Saddam was capable of wiping out 5000 or so at a time on suspicions alone.
In my experience its usually the “left” that sing that song and then proclaim themselves the saviors of the poor and downtrodden.
Agreed.
My ‘favourite’ Saddam story is the 100+ people that were tried and executed for being involved with the assassination plot.
It just makes sooo much sense. I know, if I was an Iraqi and wanted Saddam dead, I’d round up as many of my friends as I could to help out. After all, when it comes to secret plots, the more people involved has to influence the outcome towards the positive.
BTW, I heard that today is the 18th anniversary of the chemical attacks on the Kurds.
William “if your going to walk into the middle of a conservative blog, attempt mass conversion and launch salvo’s against the stated position, then you have to expect some smackdowns.”
Damn someone just caught me saying a hypocritical statement. So let’s just pretend like he said something else shall we?
People…will you please leave poor Jose alone? Can’t you see he is just trying to right the wrong that his country did with their imperialist/colonistic policies? What better way to build up a country you have destroyed through your policiies then to blame the results on somebody else? And BTW…Bush is responsible for global warming on Mars too. Its all that crap from the space station getting out of our orbit. The Martians are not pleased!!
Justthinkin: You can add to that the fact that the entire Solar System is warming up; I can’t see Bush being smart enough to pull off an entire Solar warming… it’s gotta be Rove!
Steve in bc said in regards to GWB – lets try it with Paul Martins name
A. Repeated acts that could lead to arrest. (fraud – part of govt involved in scandals too numerous to mention)
B. Conning for pleasure or profit, repeated lying, or the use of aliases. (lying about not knowing anything about sponsorship scandal; conning lefties about Conservative plan to reintroduce abortion and take away same sex marriage.)
C. Failure to plan ahead or being impulsive.(impulsive – Paul Martin with guitar in hand)
D. Repeated assaults on others.(Guns in our cities, In canada – we are not making this up (could be applied to B)
E. Reckless when it comes to their or others safety. (Banning handguns?)
F. Poor work behavior or failure to honor financial obligations. (using polls to develop policy)
G. Rationalizing the pain they inflict on others.” (cuts to health and numerous other programs so he could show a “surplus”)
Sounds like our Paulie. (Man, I hope I see the day he does the perp walk) – In Canada – that will never happen – he will just fade away – good riddance.
Don’t throw stones if you live in a glass house Stevie.
While these fools play games .. we are losing our western culture … Sorry to get off topic here but you have check out this item.

and I did a post on it at Duke’s Place
Scary shit my friends.
Att: Doug
Clinton Impeached by the House; Acquitted by the Senate where Clinton’s trial was held.
(Stage 1) Impeachment of Clinton on two articles by vote of the House of Representatives. Carried.
The articles were sent to the Senate (Stage 2).
The Senate voted Not Guilty on one article and split evenly on the other; thus, the Senate acquitted Clinton. +
Impeachment is conducted in two stages. Impeachment proceedings begin in the House of Representatives (art. I, sec. 2). This stage satisfies the Framers’ belief that impeachment should be a public inquiry into charges against an official, and it involves fact-finding at hearings. After accumulating all the evidence, the House votes on whether or not to impeach. A vote against impeachment ends the process. A vote to impeach formally advances the process to its second stage through what is called adoption of the articles of impeachment. Each article is a formal charge with conviction on any one article being sufficient for removal. The case is then sent to the Senate, which organizes the matter for trial (art. I, sec. 3).
During the trial, the Senate follows unique rules. There is no jury (art. III, sec. 2). Instead, the Senate is transformed into a quasi-judicial body that hears the case, and the impeached official can attend or be represented by counsel. The vice president presides over the trial of any official except the president, and the chief justice of the Supreme Court presides over the trial of the president. To convict, a two-thirds majority is needed. The punishments for conviction are removal from office and disqualification from holding office again. No presidential pardon is possible (art. II, sec. 2). Additional criminal charges can be brought against convicted officials, but these are pursued in court and are separate from the impeachment process. +

While the Arabs demanded that Europeans respect the religious, political and human rights of Arabs in the West, not a peep came from the Europeans about the absence of freedom in the Arab world, not to mention the abhorrent treatment of women and other minorities in countries like Saudi Arabia. No demand was made that Muslims should learn about the glories of western civilization as Europeans were and are expected to learn about the greatness of Islamic civilization. In other words, according to Fallaci, a substantial portion of Europe�s cultural and political independence was sold off by a coalition of ex-communists and socialist politicians.
Duke, Fallaci nails it. The Dems/Liberals in NA with their self-censoring dhimmitude attitude during the Cartoon War proves it.
France being France has a riot on their hands today involving their young socialist slackers – check out Brussels Journal – for their ongoing war with their youth, also keeping in mind that 20% of their population now Muslim.
Too be a socialist is to have burned down your civilzation and never having to say you are sorry.
Look, I’m no leftist, but the man is an idiot and not fit to manage a McDonalds let alone lead a superpower (even a moribund one like the U.S.)
It’s always funny when leftists say this. The “idiot” beat them not once, but twice.
Doesn’t make them a very attractive alternative.
There is no relief from this total incompetence. If Bush is impeached we get the booby prize, Cheney. It may be a good thing though, with the entire world watching in horror and disgust, we all get to see how far Bush melts down and takes the Republican Party with him. As a bonus we get to watch how many of his underlings get indicted. I think it is instructive and important to see how laughingly incompetent Conservatives are in power. This is a thing of perfect beauty because Bush has been aided and abetted by a Republican controlled Congress and Senate the leaders of which are both under investigation. Then of course, there is Abramoff, the corrupt Conservative Lobbyist who just might help bring down even more Republicans. All this without Democrats laying a finger on them, they didn’t have to, they did it all themselves.
Osama said: “Aren’t smut/porn peddlers free enterprise, free market entrepreneurs?”
Hardly, Osama.
They are criminals who contribute nothing to the tax base for the good of the rest.
They do all they can to *avoid* paying the same costs that credible businesses must..
Alberta Girl, I agree with all you said except for F for financial obligations.
a library is vilified because it is public sector, a porn shop lauded because it is private.
You say. I didn’t say. A library is a necessary public service. Porn/smut demeans us all. You missed the post on the internet child pornographers arrested earlier. They sure as hell aren’t taxpayer funded(the worst operate on the tax free internet), not that the Dems wouldn’t accept their checks and haven’t in Hollywood. The Bent One with his cigar fetish was a porn aficionado.
“osama” the Lessor, beat it.
Chase the trolls out of here Penny!… You are doing a great job and making alot of sense while you do it. I somehow expect that they twits enjoy being dumped on by virtually everyone here, and they have no plans to leaev anytime soon. That’s too bad!
Steve in BC, Our dear Jose, and Osama must have some strange fettish for abuse.I have a mental image of them sitting at their computer pushing pins in their bodies to reach some sense of fullfillment from pain. Why else would they keep lipping off with some of this B.S. in it’s purist form. If they think they are going to change any minds on here, I think they are sadly mistaken.
Some of the shit they spew cannot be what they believe. I really do think they have to be playing with us, just trying to raise some to anger… for the simple fun of it. I cannot believe that anyone could really believe some of this gunk they write on here. If they are sincere, then the world is getting to be a more scary place.
Hey let the “trolls” speak, just don’t encourage them too much.
You can’t defeat your enemy unless you understand him.
Healthy debate should only strengthen your convictions, if it doesn’t then do some more research, and if that fails you may be forced to consider other points of view.
How boring would these threads be if all we did was repeat the same things over and over, and write little posts patting each other on the back? They might be less annoying but, they’d get boring real quick.
If nothing else the so-called trolls fend off complacency, and keep our arguements fresh. Don’t force silence on someone just because you disagree with their opinion, let them tie they’re own rope, then hang them with your own well concieved thoughts.
mind you there is a lot of “unhealthy deabte” going on too, and I have no time for that.
On the porn business
Just curious. For the gay porn (I understand there is a lot of it) someone must be being exploited. Which one if not both? Can we assume both males and females are being exploited for the gay stuff … or is it only the females like the hetero stuff?
We get cable TV … lots of channels/shows with soft porn. At what point is it exploitation? Does it depend on the pay? If pay is a factor, at what $ point is it art? Is it art on one channel and exploitation on another?
Just want to know how the left thinks.
Ryan,
When you water the lawn, you also water the weeds. The price we all have to pay.
Just want to know how the left thinks.
Leftists don’t think, they feel.
As to the main article and who Al Qaeda. This is far from scientific but I heard insurgents in Iraq speaking to journalists repeatedly saying they hoped Bush won the election over Kerry. They said that Bush was “good” for them.
Its funny how some on the right like to delude themselves that there’s some kind of partnership between Al Qaeda and the left. It’s is pure adolescent partisanship and wishful thinking.
Grant “If they think they are going to change any minds on here, I think they are sadly mistaken.”
I managed to convince 1 person that global warming isn’t a marxist conspiracy. That’s actually more than I was hoping for.
No I don’t expect to convince everyone to my point of view. Arguing with people with an opposing point of view is a good way to test your ideas to see if your opponents can find flaws in your thinking. The “abuse” you refer to doesn’t bother me in the slightest.
ural
point taken, i wasn’t expecting to get blasted by osama, after sticking up for his right voice his misguided opinion.
won’t happen again.
….although, maybe with a tag like osama i should have expected it.
Its called pathetic neurosis.
Those on the left don’t stand for anything, they just stand against everything – they call this destruction progressive.
And in fact Ol’ Hoss is right, leftists don’t argue with facts, they don’t know any. Rather, they rely on their feelings, assorted conspiracy theories and revisionist myths that they present as fact. The best way to deal with the little buggers is with facts. Typically, after calling you a few expletives, they go scurring back down the hole they came from, without a futher peep.
It kind of makes you feel sorry for them.
Ryan…. you are right. Totally right. I will allow the trolls to speak. Reading their strange twists of logic helps us all recognize what the left thinks and supports. How they get to those opinions will, to me, always remain one of the great mysteries of free society.
Hey Osama, I have some more names to add to your list of “who would they vote for?”
– Maurice Strong
– Koffi Annan
– Pol Pot
– Michael Moore
– Noam Chomsky
– Ted Kennedy
– Paul Martin
– Buzz Hargrove
– Angry lefties everywhere
– Stalin
– George Galloway
Hope this helps!
Castro, Che, Heather Mallick, Chretien, Jack Layton, Al Gore, George Clooney Tunes (Hollywood, for that matter), Haroon the Maroon, Janine Garfolo, Jesse Jackson, REM, Svend, ballet dancers, Harvard professors, and other so-called ‘artistes’ and ‘intellectuals’ at the public trough, the list goes on.
Heroes of the left. A list of diseased minds.
sarge, your comment theatre is over.
Not subtle, off the mark and a bad impersonation of rednecks. They don’t talk like you.
Bet, you’ve never been farther than Toronto.
Great try though.
“More mind games: Match the groups or individuals to the party they are most likely to vote for.”
OK Osama, I’ll play your game. ^_^
“smut/porn consumers”
Tend to be liberals.
“ex-cons from enron, world com.,…”
Given that 4 of the 5 in the Keating Five were Democrats, I think we can safely say that they would vote the Democratic ticket by the same margin. :p
“david duke”
Is a Cindy Sheehan fan. No wonder that since she echoed so many of his sentiments. Doesn’t it make you good to know that the “anti war movement” is in lockstep with David Duke? ^_~
“farmers living off the taxpayer”
Farmers tend to live off the land and allow other people to do so as well. You didn’t think all that food is just grown by the supermarkets, did you? o_O
“angry rich white men”
Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, Al Gore and George Soros are all Democrats. ^o^
“the KKK”
Senator Byrd’s support group has always been a very *liberal* supporter of the Democratic Party. :p
“conrad black”
Ooooo! A newspaper publisher. Looks like “Osama” hates newspapers. Why am I not surprised? ^o^
Thanks for the game, Dude! ^_~
Read George Orwell’s animal farm or 1984. Which could read 911. When stupidity took over the world.
I think the Rolling Stones coined the phrase “I can’t get no satisfaction” about a cigarette. I should imagine that that would be politically incorrect in this day of tobacco fanatical aversion to a LEGAL activity. The ‘great’ heros (Rolling Stones) would be expected to sing about ‘deeper meanings and revolts”. Makes me laugh when I watch the self righteous “Anti Freedom for adults” people Spin, Spin, Spin. Whirling Dirvishes!!
