Bush, 9-11 and Gay
Marriage
The recent hullabaloo from the Democrats over President
Bush's usage of FOUR SECONDS of footage from 9-11 in his new campaign ads
can be translated as follows:Don't fight back
with anything that works, dammit! We want it all OUR way even if we have
to lie about why jobs aren't being created!
In short, its the same shrill scream that Howard Dean
entertained us with in Iowa, but now an entire Party is looking like an
ass, or donkey I should say.
If the Democrats are going to attack Bush on the economy
and jobs WITHOUT ever mentioning the terrorism that took place on 9-11
then clearly they want to argue their case completely out of the context
of world events, which the White House is not going to let them do.
President Bush inherited a recession from the previous
Administration and even worse, inherited their foreign policy and
intelligence failures, which led directly to our vulnerability prior to
the terrorist attacks, and ultimately, to 3,000 deaths. The President has
every right to remind the nation of factors which have contributed to
unemployment, and all right thinking people should encourage him to to so.
Besides, what is the big deal about 5.6% unemployment?
In March, 1996, just prior to Bill Clinton's re-election, the national
unemployment rate was 5.5%. You can look it up at
http://data.bls.gov/labjava/servlets/graphics/generated_graphs/lns14000000_28167_1078808232996.gif and
see for yourself. Of course, 5.5% unemployment for a Democrat President
is not even a campaign issue, while John Kerry and the big east
coast media harp and speculate about whether Bush can overcome the
albatross of 5.6% unemployment around his neck. This journalistic view is
otherwise known as "bias".
Gay marriage is another shrill scream on the part of the
left and Democrats in general. Their reaction to President Bush on the
issue is no different than the sniveling, whining punk who starts a fight
on the playground and then cries foul when they get hit back.
Here are the facts: Lawbreaking mayors are
issuing marriage licenses to same sex couples in clear violation of State
statutes. Just because Rosie O' Donnell thinks existing State laws
providing for marriage between a man and women violate Constitutional
"equal protection" laws is of no value, because as of this date no court
has ruled in that way.
So how is President Bush "crossing the line" by talking
of his support of a federal marriage protection amendment to the US
Constitution? What choice does he have if gutless State Attorneys General
won't hold lawbreaking mayors of leftist cities to account for their
actions? And since when did the left ever care about State's rights,
which is the argument they are making now? If they were consistent on the
issue of State's rights they would also all be out denouncing Roe v Wade
on the same grounds but we won't be holding our breath waiting for their
ideological purity and consistency, now will we?
Conservatives everywhere expect the President to not only
stand up to, but do battle with the left. Don't get bullied around by
their hatred. Keep fighting terrorism, growing the economy, replacing
brutal dictatorships with democracies and standing up for true American
values. Clean up the federal budget and get on top of the tradition of
fiscal responsibility so long a mantle of the Republican Party.
Re-election will not be far behind.
