Forget Swine Flu, We Need A Vaccine For Liberalism

Seriously.
We have a vaccine for swine flu because we know the effects.
How is it that medical research can’t develop a vaccine to prevent people from developing amnesia, and for their thinking to become so twisted that they start to believe that up is down, and for some things failing to register in their minds at all?
One of our recent articles asked the question “Who is more legitimate, Fox News or the White House?
This led one reader to leave a response to the points we raised, which once again displayed all of the symptoms of this disease that we outlined above.
One of the things this person said was that the media did fact-check George Bush, but that it happened 8 years too late.
No doubt this person was dragging out the tired old argument that “George Bush got us into a war in Iraq under false pretenses,There were never any WMD’s.”
This is where the amnesia part of this tragic illness makes itself known.
This poor soul obviously can’t remember such things as:
“If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction program.”
–President Bill Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998
“Iraq is a long way from [here], but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face.”
–Madeline Albright, Feb 18, 1998
“He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten times since 1983.”
–Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb, 18, 1998
“Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process.”
-Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 1998
“Iraq’s search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power.”
– Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002
“In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members … It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons.”
– Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002
Our respondent then went on to say:
“Fox News is the mouthpiece of the Republican Party. What they talk about is not news. If it were news, there would be measured debate, a modicum of respect….”
And a bit later threw this in:
“If we on the left had treated Bush anywhere like this, you’d be foaming at the mouth even more.”
OK, if Fox News is the mouthpiece of the Republican Party, does that make the crew at MSNBC the official spokespeople for the Democrats?
Sure, Fox News has people with opinionated shows, such as Sean Hannity, Glen Beck , etc.
And I realize that it is just another symptom of the disease this man is suffering from that leads him to believe that commentators such as Keith Olbermann, Chris Matthews and Rachel Maddow never allow their own political ideology to influence their remarks.
“A modicum of respect….”
“If we on the left had treated Bush anywhere like this, you’d be foaming at the mouth even more.”
See, there’s that damn amnesia indicator again.
Sir, try and remember these:
Keith Olbermann calling George Bush the “worst person ever.”
Chris Matthews, following Bush’s farewell address, referred to the Bush Presidency as “the tragedy of the last eight years.”
How about a guest on Olbermann’s show, Janeane Garofalo, who told him that “Tea Parties are about racism, not politics.”
How much respect did you folks on the left show when one of you made the following comment:
“Republicans are shameless d**ks. No, that’s not fair,Republican politicians are shameless d**ks.
You took the author of that quote, Al Franken, and made him a United States Senator!
And you accuse those of us on the right of showing no respect?
Finally, this gentleman offered the following observation:
It has to be hard the on Obama administration to do its work when it is constantly having to deal with the lies, hyperbole, and ugly talk that is right on the edge of traitorous.
This is the part of this sickness that causes people to think backwards.
Let’s try this one at a time.
Regarding lies and hyperbole, we have said that his Cabinet contains some undesirable people.
Case in point, Timothy Geithner, who had a bit of a problem paying his income taxes.
We have mentioned the corruption of his “Czars.”
Case in point, former Czar, avowed Communist and 9-11 conspiracy nut Van Jones.
Along with Regulatory Czar Cass Sunstein, who thinks that animals should be allowed to sue humans in a court of law.
Leave us not forget Science Czar John Holdren, who advocates sterility drugs being put into public water supplies.
How about Chai Felblum, the President’s pick to serve on the EEOC, who made the statement “Gay sex is morally good.”
To all of you who stand firmly behind President and his policies, do you seriously mean to tell me that you don’t have a problem with a “Safe Schools” Czar who not only did not report a case of statutory homosexual rape to the authorities, he gave the 15 year-old young man advice on the proper way to conduct his relationship with a sexual predator?
We pointed out that the Obama Administration was attempting the freezing-out of a major news organization, and urging other media outlets to do the same.
We quoted a journalist who has never seen an administration call for a boycott of news outlet during his time of covering eight presidents.
I could go on and on, you tell me sir, where are the lies?
Read through all of our articles and point out where exactly are the lies and hyperbole.
“Ugly talk that is right on the edge of traitorous”
Are you SURE you want to go down that road?
You may want to think really hard about the words and actions of Cindy Sheehan, members of Code Pink, various members of the Democratic Party as well as the mainstream media, to name just a few.
And before you answer, you may want to give thanks that a little something that was known as the Sedition Act is no longer in effect, if it were, I would not be writing this because folks like you and the rest of your liberal allies would be in a federal prison.
Sorry my friend, but not agreeing with President Obama’s policies does not make me a traitor, any more than it makes me a Nazi or a racist.
And please don’t ask me to believe that you folks on the left treated George Bush any better than the right treats Barack Obama.
And with all of the invective that was thrown his way, I can’t seem to recall Bush ever calling for the boycott of a news organization, or attempting to ban one of it’s staffers from the White House.
However, George Bush is not the point.
The point is that you folks on the left can’t all be insane.
There has to be a few of you who take a look at something the President is proposing, an administrative appointment he makes, whatever, and stop and think about if you agree with him, not just mindlessly fall into line.
And if there aren’t at least a few of you like that, then God help us all.
Did you like this? If so, please bookmark it,
We listened to the critiques of Pres. Bush II for over eight years, considering that the criticism started before he was even sworn in, and only defended him on the rare occasion because we recognized the rights of the liberals who have inundated the Democratic Party. Even though we did not agree, we still respected their right to complain. But is the same true of them? NO! If we dare say anything negative about THEIR president, we are racists, or a hundred other epitaphs they sling our way.
So I say to them, what’s good for the goose is good for the gander, so get used to it. You’re going to hear it for the next 3 years and 3 months, right up until the last day of his one term presidency. And probably beyond that, since you’re still trying to blame everything that’s wrong with America on Bush II. And even though you won’t admit it, turnabout IS fair play. So how does it feel with the shoe on the OTHER foot?!
“The President is merely the most important among a large number of public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the Nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else.” ~ Teddy Roosevelt
