AMERICAN POLITICS & U.S. NATIONAL SECURITY: THE AMERICAN POLITICAL LEFT & THE TERROR WAR -- LIBERAL
DEMOCRATS' FIXATION ON AN AGENDA THAT ERASES OR DENIES THE ENORMITY OF THE SEPTEMBER 11, 2001, ISLAMIST
TERRORIST ATTACKS ON THE U.S.A. -- LIBERAL LEFTISTS' EFFORTS TO DISTRACT AMERICAN VOTERS FROM THE THREAT
OF NUCLEAR PROLIFERATION & FROM THE WORLDWIDE ISLAMIST JIHAD BEING WAGED AGAINST AMERICA & WESTERN
CIVILIZATION -- DEMOCRATS PLACE PARTISAN POLITICAL CONSIDERATIONS ABOVE AMERICA'S VICTORY IN THE WAR ON
ISLAMIST TERRORISM
FULL STORY:
Amid the horrifying breaking news of the past few days, Americans must
remain focused on the threats that still loom over their country’s future.
To do otherwise is to invite the possibility that the recent horrors will be
immeasurably compounded by another Islamist terrorist attack on the U.S.A.
Long before the abominable events and disclosures of the past few days,
those on the political Left have been fixated on an agenda that erases or denies the
enormity of the 9-11 terrorist attacks, and every preceding circumstance that led up to the attacks. Yet,
for America to let down its guard, even in the face of other crises, is not
an option.
Certain significant facts stand out in this discussion. First, it cannot be
denied that U.S. President George W. Bush has vigorously pursued the enemy in his “War on
Terror.” Just as inarguable is that, by doing so, America has remained safe
from subsequent attacks. But these are two “dots” that the Liberal Leftist political
machine, and its cohorts in the “mainstream” media, do not want Americans to
connect.
To that end, every outrage occurring within the borders of the country is
being trumpeted by the Left as a reason to ignore the terrorist threat,
since, in so doing, Democrats see their electoral fortunes improving in the
November, 2006, congressional elections. But, while other matters at hand clearly need to be confronted,
America had better remain unshakably vigilant as to the activities of the
Islamists, who are hardly resting during this time, but, instead, are
undoubtedly working with fierce and relentless determination to ascertain
how to take fullest advantage of America’s distracted state.
Conservative America is rightly appalled at the recent revelations of
deviant sexual behavior perpetrated by Florida Republican Congressman Mark
Foley. Yet, their abhorrence for his actions transcends any political
consideration. Such perversity warrants immediate removal from office, and,
if appropriate, the severest punishment allowed under the law. Of that, there
is no dispute, at least on the political Right.
Let those on the political Left vent their phony outrage and dismay, and, in so doing,
display their abject hypocrisy. All of the disgraceful situations in
question, from the moral abominations represented by Foley, to the “Don’t
ask, don’t tell” mindset that enabled him to continue his sordid behavior,
to the appearance of national weakness that gives hopes of victory to Al-Qa'ida,
result from that societal dysfunction known as Liberalism.
Consider, in contrast, the reactions of Liberals to such revelations within
their own camp, when the principal in question was former President Bill
Clinton and his inability or unwillingness to control his hormones. In rapid
succession, Liberal Democrats told the nation one lie or
distortion after another. First, America was told that such activities
never happened. Then, when the body of evidence became undeniable, the
sexual activity in the Clinton White House suddenly became a matter of Bill Clinton’s “private life.”
Concerned Americans were castigated over a matter that was “only about sex.”
Finally, the shameless hypocrisy of the Left reached a crescendo as it
attempted to regain the moral “high ground” by accusing the President’s
critics of engaging in the “politics of personal destruction,” at the behest
of a “Vast Right Wing Conspiracy.”
Inevitably, such unconscionable political posturing was all that the Left
ever had to offer as a “fix” for its problems. In the end, no real attempt
was made to correct the situation, and, in the years that have followed,
Clinton loyalists have done their best to recast their disgraced leader as
an icon of statesmanship.
Meanwhile, the storm clouds of Islamism gathered, along with plans by the
North Koreans to build themselves a nuclear bomb. And all of the finger
pointing, red-faced denials, and tantrums of the perpetually juvenile former
President cannot erase this unfolding nightmare as his real “legacy.”
Moreover, despite the fact that the Clinton political machine no longer has
the nation’s highest law enforcement offices to employ in its efforts to
destroy its political opposition, the style of the recent political
character assassinations undoubtedly prove that the political machine is still in operation.
Admittedly, the sinister effort could not have succeeded, had not its
targets been in possession of tawdry skeletons in their closets. And those
on the political Right would be remiss, were they to overlook such malfeasance in
deference to partisan politics.
But neither should they accept the Liberal premise that, as a result of such
things, the country ought to henceforth be abandoned to the devices and
agenda of the political Left. On every issue, from those very same twisted personal
activities, to the very real terrorist threat, the behavior considered
acceptable among Liberal Democratss is, and has always been far more contemptible than
anything infiltrating the Conservative movement by its imposters.
And, while such behavior will be purged from the Republican ranks as soon as
it is found out (the Conservative base would stand for no less), Democrats
are invariably willing to obfuscate and overlook anything that might
undermine their Liberal agenda. But terrorism cannot be overlooked.
The stakes have not changed. Despite every Liberal effort, Republicans must
stay on message. Losing control of the U.S. Congress will lose the terror war.
