Mood:

Now Playing: Fight a preemptive war , or fight one here on our home turf?
Topic: Liberals Insanity
Yesterday, it was all over the news about ex-President Carter, and his blasphemist comments to Der Spiegel the German magazine, where he said, "I think I represent the vast majority of Democrats in this country." If he does, then we are in trouble, and that thought in itself is Scary!
Expounding on the theme of his latest book Our Endangered Values *I have to say he has none*, Carter said that the Bush Administration has abandoned the nation's "old" moral principles. Now, here is the facts.....his party, the Democrats have abandoned the nations old moral principles, and they do it more daily. As David Limbaugh said in his column, called Carter: Sympathy for the devil today, he said: 'Carter is particularly exercised about Bush's foreign policy. He said, "Under all of its predecessors there was a commitment to peace instead of a pre-emptive war. Our country always had a policy of not going to war unless our own security was directly threatened and now we have a new policy of going to war on a preemptive basis."
Okay, first off, this isn't preemptive....we were attacked first. We are protecting ourselves not the other way around. Seems that Carter and the rest of his cronies including the liberal drive by media has a mentality that completely disregards September 11, 2001 as an attack on us. If it isn't an attack on us...then I would love to hear Carter or any of the others like Kerry, explain just what it was!
But no less an antiwar Democrat than Sen. John Kerry -- after savaging President Bush for his "preemptive" attack of Iraq -- admitted in the first presidential debate that, "The president always has the right, and always has had the right, for preemptive strike. That was a great doctrine throughout the Cold War."
No matter how persistently Carter's Democrats attempt to rewrite history, President Bush attacked Iraq because he believed it was a threat to America's security -- and it was, just like Iran is today. Carter is delusional if he believes Bush was just recreationally flexing America's "imperialistic" muscles to spread democracy.
The debate here between Democrats and Republicans isn't over the use of preemptive war -- as Kerry reluctantly confessed -- but on the assessment of threats to our national security. Specifically, the debate centers on the parties' respective views of the nature and scope of the terrorist threat, whether Israel is seen as more of a victim surrounded by hostile regimes bent on its destruction or a bullying, aggressive nation, and whether we should defer on these questions to anti-American leaders in Europe and the United Nations.
Carter states the Democrats' position quite clearly. Islamo-fascist terrorist aren't that bad. They are probably peace-loving people like the rest of us who just have their noses out of joint over Bush's "unilateral" foreign policy and his "preemptive" attack on Iraq. Indeed, Carter said the Arab world hates us because we invated Iraq, and even more so for "supporting and encouraging Israel in its unjustified attack on Lebanon."
So, the attacks of September 11, 2001, occurred because we attacked Iraq in 2003? Israel was unjustified in retaliating against Hezbollah, which is supported by (and a part of) the Lebanese government and its people? If we would just talk to these reasonable terrorists -- such as Hezbollah and Mike Wallace's hero, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, we could achieve peace?
In the interview, Carter pointedly blamed Bush's foreign policy on his Christian "fundamentalism". He nicely articulated the position of today's Democratic leaders, which while scrambling for "values voters." consistantly insult them, and while holding themselves out as superior guardians of our national security, see America, not the terrorist, as the problem
Carter, after unmistakably implying that Bush is a fundamentalist, said that fundamentalists believe "they are speaking for God" and "anyone who disagrees with them is inherently wrong' and 'inherently inferior." "In extreme cases -- as is the case with some fundamentalists around the world -- it makes your opponents sub-humans, so that their lives are not significant." Since "the negotiating process itself is an indication of implied equality" the fundamentalist (read: President Bush) "can't bring himself or herself to negotiate with people who disagree with them."
Carter also said that since the fundamentalists believe they are speaking for God, they think they are above making, much less admitting, mistakes. "So when we permit the torture of prisoners in Guantanamo, or Abu Ghraib, it's just impossible for a fundamentalist (read; Bush -- again) to admit that a mistake was made."
Carter couldn't be more wrong. Bush, though not even close to a fundamentalist, is a Bible-believing Christian who by definition believes in the equal dignity of all people.
But, leave it to Carter to say Bush "permitted" torture, which is an outright lie. Leve it to him to believe the worst about "fundamental;ist" Christians, and the best of Islamo-fascist terrorists.
Sadly, I believe Carter does speak for the Democratic leadership, and that speaks volumes about the Democrat leadership.
With that being said, I believe that David Limbaugh is right here.....
Carter and the rest of the liberal cronies in Washington, save one or two have lost the reality that it was America that was attacked first.....and not on September 11, 2001, but in 1993, when the World Trade Center was attacked the first time....and all evidence points to Al Qeada on that one too. It seems they all forgot about 9/11 and who actually started that one.
Just like Israel was attacked first. Both nations have every right to go out and just destroy the Hezbollah fighting machine, the Iranian fighting machine that is supporting Hezbollah, and any other Terror supporting nation or group out there. The war was brought to us....not the other way around. Get it straight people. We are the victims here....Israel is the victim here....not Lebanon, not Hezbollah, not Al Qeada,.....US. Get it straight and stop telling your lies. We are tired of hearing them.
GET IT RIGHT FOR ONCE!!!
God Bless America
God Bless Israel
God bless us all
