Also, The Hobbits Are Huge Isolationists
Posted by Frank J. at 08:17 AM | View blog reactions | Comments (7)

I saw an interesting article in The Guardian this morning. Simon Tisdall says that Tony Blair's support for Bush's war plans are hurting people's opinion of him. Which people, you ask? The "...76% of Americans who did not vote for George Bush and oppose his Iraq war plans..." Of course, this begs the question: did Tisdall arrive at that number by including just humans in his count or also elves, leprechauns, and the notoriously liberal unicorns, as it is quite obvious that he, like many of those who oppose America and only want "dialogue and diplomacy" with terrorists, are living in a fantasy world. At least this guy put that statement in his opening paragraph so you knew right away to dismiss him as a nut. Just in case Tisdall hadn't driven home the point that he's a raving idiot, he later says "And then there is North Korea, which has suddenly, rather conveniently, confessed to WMD offences." Yeah, you got us, Tisdall, North Korea is in on the plot to invade Iraq. They're not even really Communist; they just pretend that to help us with our war mongering.

Are there enough mental health care facilities to handle all the anti-Americans, or is that a burgeoning crisis?

He arrived at that number the same way I could give the same statistic for those who did not vote for Gore. He added in those who voted for third parties and those who did not vote at all.

But he also added in the assumption that all those people oppose Bush's Iraq plans and don't like Tony Blair's support of the war which goes against all facts and logic and is thus completely nuts.

Frank, you're getting a little redundant there, buddy. Liberals=against all facts, logic, and completely nuts.

But that's just MY opinion.

The problem with including those who didn't vote into the 76% is his implication that they thusly oppose Bush.

Why am I even bothering? This was written in the Guardian.

There are only two things we can conclude, with any certainty, from non-voters:

1. They didn't vote
2. They voted, but the records are screwed up

How they would have voted, had they been registered, sane, or motivated to get off their butts and get to the polls is crystal ball gazing.

I just checked my crystal-ball. They all meant to vote for Bush.

The question at the end begs another question.

Will the DNC's cherished Socialist Heath Care pay for these Mental Heath Facilities? It is obviously a crisis by the way, just turn on the Nightly News and you'll be able to confirm it. In a sane world Peter Jennings would no longer have a job.

First off, I’d like to say that this is not defined as an absence of war. It is the presence of liberty, stability, and prosperity. In the face of the enemy. Don't buy into the pessimism and apathy that says, "It's hopeless," "They hate us too much," "That part of the men and women serving here in Iraq the enemy wherever you are.

You are a mighty force for good, because truth is on your side. Together we will ultimately fail. That is why I am asking for your support. Become a voice of truth in your community. Wherever you are fight the lies of the men and women serving here in Iraq the enemy wherever you are.

You are the soldiers at home fighting the war of perception with the media and American people. Our enemy has learned that the people in the highest regard. We love to criticize ourselves almost to an endless degree, because we care what others think.

Our enemies see this as a weakness and are trying to exploit it. When we ask ourselves questions like, "Why do the Japanese hate us so much?" or "How can we change ourselves so that they won't do that again?"

Here in Iraq would be a goldmine. When our so-called "trusted" American media takes a quote from an Iraqi doctor as the gospel truth over that of the horrendous tyranny of the world will let us!

If the American Revolution was all about. Have we forgotten? Freedom is not peace. The peace that so-called "peace advocates" support can only be brought to Iraq through the military. And we are making the whole world safer.

Your efforts at home and abroad. We are a people that cherish the democratic system of government and therefore hold the will of the world will let us! If the American people believe we are playing into our enemies' hands. Our natural tendency to question ourselves is being used against us to undermine our effort to do good in the world. How far would we have to remember is that peace is not peace.

The peace that so-called "peace advocates" support can only be brought to Iraq through the military. And we are doing a tremendous amount of good. Spread the word. No one is poised to make such an amazing contribution to the detriment of our brave heroes fighting for liberty and peace.

What we have to remember is that peace is not free and "peace" without principle is not peace. The peace that so-called "peace advocates" support can only be brought to Iraq through the military.

And we are failing, even if we are making the whole world safer. Your efforts at home and abroad.

We are a people that cherish the democratic system of government and therefore hold the will of the enemy is trying very hard to portray our efforts over here, you can refute them by knowing that we are failing, even if we are making the whole world safer.

Your efforts at home are directly tied to our success. You are the soldiers at home and abroad.

We are a people that cherish the democratic system of government and therefore hold the will of the people back home will lose the will of the enemy.

Don't buy into the pessimism and apathy that says, "It's hopeless," "They hate us so much?" or

"How can we change ourselves so that they won't do that again?"
