The Typical Democrat Double Standard
War is the most horrible stage in human relations. That is why most leaders defer to it only as a last resort. Now, good people might disagree as to when war should finally be triggered, but that is the debate that takes place within most modern social structures.
The Iraq war began only after a series of events, or lack thereof, took place. Calls for the President’s and Vice-President’s respective impeachments are ludicrous. There is an historical record in this, perhaps more than most, that belies such poppycock. Peruse the following statement:
"Earlier today, I ordered America's armed forces to strike military and security targets in Iraq. They are joined by British forces. Their mission is to attack Iraq's nuclear, chemical and biological weapons programs and its military capacity to threaten its neighbors. Their purpose is to protect the national interest of the United States, and indeed the interests of people throughout the Middle East and around the world. Saddam Hussein must not be allowed to threaten his neighbors or the world with nuclear arms, poison gas or biological weapons...Other countries possess weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missiles. With Saddam, there is one big difference: He has used them. Not once, but repeatedly. Unleashing chemical weapons against Iranian troops during a decade-long war. Not only against soldiers, but against civilians, firing Scud missiles at the citizens of Israel, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Iran. And not only against a foreign enemy, but even against his own people, gassing Kurdish civilians in Northern Iraq.
The international community had little doubt then, and I have no doubt today, that left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will use these terrible weapons again. Saddam's deception has defeated their effectiveness. Instead of the inspectors disarming Saddam, Saddam has disarmed the inspectors. This situation presents a clear and present danger to the stability of the Persian Gulf and the safety of people everywhere. The international community gave Saddam one last chance to resume cooperation with the weapons inspectors. Saddam has failed to seize the chance. And so we had to act and act now...
That is why, on the unanimous recommendation of my national security team -- including the vice president, the secretary of defense, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, the secretary of state and the national security adviser -- I have ordered a strong, sustained series of air strikes against Iraq. They are designed to degrade Saddam's capacity to develop and deliver weapons of mass destruction, and to degrade his ability to threaten his neighbors. So we will pursue a long-term strategy to contain Iraq and its weapons of mass destruction and work toward the day when Iraq has a government worthy of its people. First, we must be prepared to use force again if Saddam takes threatening actions, such as trying to reconstitute his weapons of mass destruction or their delivery systems, threatening his neighbors, challenging allied aircraft over Iraq or moving against his own Kurdish citizens... The hard fact is that so long as Saddam remains in power, he threatens the well-being of his people, the peace of his region, the security of the world."
Following this effort, United Nations inspectors were expelled for four years. With the re-introduction of inspectors, the obfuscation by Saddam, the series of U.N. resolutions, the ultimate defiance by Saddam, and 9/11 it is very reasonable to extrapolate the exact same results that the Bush Administration came to. President Bush, after heroic non-war efforts, made the awesome, yet justified,, decision to bring us into the confrontation militarily. Rosie, for you and your ilk to continually besmirch and deride the President and claim illegality speaks volumes about your lack of veracity and the crudeness of your mental prowess.
Nonetheless, the Iraq War has been expensive. Every loss of life is an extreme tragedy. At this writing we have sustained over 3,300 killed. The effort is approaching $400 billion in military cost and re-construction aid. It cannot be stressed enough, however, that this outlay of blood and treasure is to protect our freedom and promote same around the world. We must also put these losses into historical perspective:
Vietnam War- Killed in Action …......….47,369
Korean War- Killed in Action…………..33,651
World War II- Killed in Action…………292,131
World War I- Killed in Action…………..53,513
There is something in common with all these dead patriots. The cause of Freedom! They are all positive rays of light in this continuous pursuit to maintain and promote human rights around the world! But, despite all the right things these wars have produced, they are not the wars I am pursuing to make my argument. In 1965, President Lyndon Johnson instigated (and I mean that in the most derogatory fashion) the infamous "War on Poverty". This "war" has negatively effected millions of people at the lower end of society and has fleeced the American Taxpayer out of trillions of hard earned dollars!
Since its inception, the vast majority of the "poor" have been attracted toward the country’s urban magnets. It is there that the "government dole machine" maintains its highly greased wheels as its sorry best. One would think that this behemoth lube job, might have sparked some positive results, but au contraire. The money checks and various geegees (government giveaways) are spit out like watermelon seeds. They grow lots of fluff, but nothing of real value. Perversely, they have reverted a good portion of an entire population into a modern day slavery and brought millions of previously unshackled with them.
What’s the payoff? A quid pro quo of millions of "owed" votes for these libthinking Democrats who so generously do the "geegee" dance; butter in one hand and a masked whip in the other; and it works! It is now generational! The fathers and unwed mothers know the system. By their actions, poisoned with low self-esteem, they begat children, who begat children, and so on who play the same game. This cycle of non-production has doomed millions and, at the same time, is placing an ultimately unbearable burden on the producing class.
In these years since LBJ started the "war", there have been hundreds of thousands of murders just in America’s larger cities. Let us not go into all the other violent crimes. The statistics are staggering as are the numbers of policemen and firemen and innocent who have lost their lives. The ethos of rearing bastards by day and selling crack by night permeates the dreary urban existence. Once rigid buildings and the already fragile sinew of productive life and hope have vanished into decay. New Orleans is a perfect example of Democrat rule since the ancients. The floods of Katrina caused the lifting of so many of the rats of destitution and prostitution to the top for all to see, just like the Democrat rule in most of the cities. This is what trillions of dollars have bought for us.
So Ro, Harry and Nance, here’s the deal. You and the "bowelmovement.orgasm" crowd need to push your libthinking politicians to do the same thing with the cities of America that you want to do with Baghdad, and, by extension, Iraq. PULL OUT NOW! You don’t want to appear disingenuous, do you? Leave the metro areas of our country to fend for themselves. The "War on Poverty" is an unabashed flop! Pull out policemen, fire control, social services, infrastructure workers, and, oh yes, the bureaucrats that service them. Stop the flow of money! Unlike all our previous wars and the Iraq War which all stressed Freedom, the "War on Poverty" promotes Enslavement!
Of course, the logic of this argument makes too much sense. I have a feeling the silence in the Houses of Congress will be deafening.
