The Journolist Hangover

"One characteristic of the American right these days is how uninspired you are. Even your insults are second-hand and tired."

Actually, the Right has been much more inspired than the Left:

'ACORN Sting' -- brilliant, dazzling, devastating and so outrageously funny even left-leaning Daily Show can't resist running with it.

'Joker Poster' -- again, a provocative attack so dazzling and inspired that the Left can't resist the self-destructive temptation to drive it viral.

'Death Panels': An image right out of Isaac Asimov. Two words that put the supermajority Dems on their heels for months.

'You lie!': Two words. All havoc breaks out. The Left is manipulated into defending Obama for cutting...
I absolutely hate the fact that I'm reading and agreeing with Ann Coulter. Obama, I will never forgive you for this. I mean that compared to Obama and Journolist, his gang of professional leftist battered sycophants, Coulter is the lesser of two evils by far.
1 billion Muslims to 2 million avowed Islamic terrorists. That's a ratio of 500 to 1. That's pretty good camouflage for the terrorists. This article puts the finger on the connection between Islam and Radical Islam. All Muslims are not terrorists, but Radical Islam uses Islam for camouflage.

'We Socialists' vs. 'We the People'

"Statists and Marxists and Leninists and Stalinists and Communists and Socialists" You left out Jornolists. Yes, ultra-leftist authoritarian radicals have infested our news media. That's not a conspiracy theory. We all saw the sick Jornolist emails: the disgusting groupthink, the authoritarian fantasies. We saw the high-level Obama appointees praising Mao. Modern communists think the internet is the gamechanger. Jornolist, Daily Kos, OpenLeft,TalkLeft are on-line Communist nests, planning Bolshevik-style takeover strategies while they hallucinate that the Stalinist purges and Khmer Rouge genocide never happened. Daily Kos is an ultra-leftist toilet, but it is influential -- far more than Communist Party USA ever was. Cold War...

The Mosque at Ground Zero

I would equate the Ground Zero Mosque with yelling fire in a crowded theater. Because of 9/11, it's just too inflammatory. Put the Mosque somewhere else. It's the only intelligent thing. Anyone who claims the Mosque 'promotes harmony'? That's nonsense. It obviously is not promoting harmony.

You confuse bigotry with anger over 9/11. Human beings get angry when they are attacked and their loved ones killed. Ignoring that anger is stupid, and is no path to peace. Anyone who understands human emotions in wartime can see that a Mosque at Ground Zero is a stupid provocation that inflames bitter feelings and does not promote harmony. 100's of comments here say Buchanan is right that Mayor Bloomberg is from another planet if he didn't see this diplomatic disaster coming.

Yes. In the Gulf War, Israel had the right to shoot back when Saddam fired rockets at Israel to draw the IDF into Desert Storm. Israel understood that, because of past conflicts, action by IDF would provoke other Arab nations to leave the U.S.-led coalition and side with Saddam. Israel was wise enough to stay out, even though they had the legal right to go in. This is about wartime diplomacy -- a very tricky, touchy business. Mayor Bloomberg really screwed up -- he should have anticipated the obvious negative reaction and nipped the Mosque in the bud. Bloomberg should own his mistakes, stop playing the race card, apologize to peaceful Muslims for his diplomatic failure, and negotiate another location. Then he should make an...

Check out Mayor Bloomberg's priorities: St. Vincent's Hospital was the main triage center on 9/11. People went to St. V's to search for loved ones who were in the Towers. I have friends, nurses, who volunteered there in the aftermath. St. V's was a top-ranked trauma/crisis management center located near several prime terror targets in NYC. If the Times Square bomb had detonated, ambulances carrying shredded, bleeding people would have streaked down Broadway to St. V's in minutes. Guess what? St. Vincent's doesn't exist anymore. And NYC is significantly less prepared to cope with a terrorist attack. Mayor Bloomberg didn't lift a finger to save St. Vincent's from bankruptcy. I mean, he didn't bat an eye. But he's fighting like...

Coming Home at Last?

Actually, the Neocons should be put on trial for failing Israel. If Iran gets nuclear weapons, chalk it up to the Iraq War. Iran has been thumbing its nose at the U.S. since we got bogged down in Iraq -- Iran has no fear of a US military stuck in quicksand. I guess the Neocons never heard of thinking three moves ahead.

You think the neocons could outweigh Cheney, SECDEF in the 1st Gulf War who left Saddam in power as a balance against Iran? If Cheney had opposed the war, we never would have gone in. My theory is that Cheney wanted to send a message to Al Qaida that nothing is ever gained by attacking the US and that the US would punish Muslim nations for Al Qaida's attacks. That's horrible, godawful, unspeakable, but it's basically a 21st Century version of Massive Retaliation, which was not a pretty concept either. It's the only explanation for Cheney's reversal on taking out Saddam. Not WMD BS, not UN BS -- that was just for American domestic consumption. Not oil; if Cheney wanted oil, he would have seized the oil fields in Desert Storm.
