The missing heart of the Loony Left...

 

 

"Many on the Left are like the Grinch - born with a heart the size of a pea..."

One more time. There is nothing so bad we can do to the Loony Left that is any worse than what they do to themselves. Oh where do I start. Okay - George W. Bush. "Bush lied and people died. He just wants oil for blood." And on and on and on. We all know the drill. This was the mantra of the Left during the presidency of George W. Bush. I went to see President Bush when he spoke in St. Paul towards the end of his term. As we were leaving, long haired, maggot infested protesters were all over the place. Shouting invectives and being disrespectful. Many were holding up signs which said the most vulgar things about this President. Things if said about the current President would end up being reported on page one of the NYT or Washington Post.

What has happened to the "party of tolerance"? When they become so blatantly intolerant? So mean, so hateful? I am ashamed for them the way they sometime behave. Back to President Bush for a minute. On Sunday, Chris Wallace was interviewing Bob Woodward (of the famous Nixon haters, Woodward and Bernstein). Seems that Mr. Woodward has a new book out about how the United States got involved in the Iraq War. Woodward probably was looking for a smoking gun to hang the failure of Iraq around Bush's neck.

Instead he found out a couple of interesting facts. First off, President Bush did not lie. Not a bit. If anything, he tried to throttle back George Tenant on the WMD issue. No, President Bush was a straight shooter based on the information he was presented. Now mistakes were made once we got into Iraq. Both sides can agree on that. It was a learn as you go event. However the second thing Woodward found out was about our current President, the war hater. Woodward believes Obama is responsible for losing Iraq. Period. He ignored his experts at the Pentagon and made a political gamble. It failed and Iraq was lost. And now this gamble has given us the Islamic State (ISIL) and a mess beyond comprehension.

Take a look locally. The man who ran against Keith Ellison had his car recently vandalized. Why? Because he is not a member of the Loony Left. Plus he had the courage to challenge a sitting Congressman the Loony Left loves. Doug Daggett, the challenger, had "Bigot" and an upside down cross, and a pentagram, marked on the side of his car. Why? Who knows. Because he is a Christian? Maybe. Because he is white and ran against a black man? Could be. Because he is a Conservative? Most probable. In any event, it is a one-way street. Conservatives would NEVER do that to another person. Period.

I will hope before the 2016 election the Loony Left, the Progressives, will once again become just the party of loyal opposition. First however, they just need to learn respect and manners. We will forgive them, we will show them grace, but first they need to change. They need to grow up. Then they need to behave themselves and start acting like adults.
