The Democrats, they of the screeching voices if the temperature goes up half a degree in a decade, are still mostly silent about MoveOn's idiotic ad in the New York Treachery the other day. A bunch of whiny little neo-commies, hiding behind the skirts of the First Amendment, slandered a commanding general during a time of war and faux leaders of the left have nothing to say? Finally, we have proof that the entire Democratic party has become George Soros' bitch.
Thus far, the strongest condemnation has come from Elizabeth "No Tangerines" Edwards, who said, “Someone who’s spent their life in the military doesn’t deserve ‘General Betray Us." Yes, I said that was the "strongest" response. This would have been a perfect time for her husband Fluffy to step up and show off the aforementioned male anatomy but, once again, he leaves the manly chores to Liz whilst he continues his relentless search for the perfect hair products.
I keep checking the news every few minutes as I write this to see if any prominent Dem has said anything against MoveOn yet. Yes, I'm hopelessly optimistic that the DNC will try and steer the party back to America one day. We can all dream, can't we? The silence is deafening. Perhaps they're all getting eco-friendly pedicures for their carbon footprints.
Don't get me wrong: I'm all for free speech. The problem, as I have said on stage for years, is that many people confuse the right to speak freely with an obligation to speak freely. I often wish that the Founding Fathers had included an "Amendment 1A" which said "Citizens may also choose to shut the hell up if they have nothing worthwhile to contribute to the debate."
If I weren't so gleefully partisan, I would almost feel some sympathy for the Democrats' inability to break away from the Soros financial tit at MoveOn. It really is pathetic. The reason for the fear is understandable when you cast a critical eye on the American Left though. They desperately need exorbitant sums of money to win political battles because they're fresh out of ideas. "We want everyone to have free health care and a good education" isn't a political philosophy, it's an Oprah sound byte meant to appeal to voters' emotions rather than their intellects. Why? Because an intellectual examination of the current Democrats' positions reveals the full-on socialism of it all. Like it or not, Barack & Co., we have too many real responsibilities in this world to indulge in Norway-esque socialist experiments. Unfortunately, the real world is hard to see when you have your head in the "Free Health Care For All" clouds.
Sadly, the Republicans have never been quite as adept at throw-down political fighting as the Democrats. Maybe it's time we learned. Have the RNC call me. They bug me for money all the time but what they could actually use are my mouth and the now thrice-mentioned male anatomy that I bring to debates. Sure, I come with a lot of baggage but some of that baggage can be used to hit people over the head during a fight.
There are a lot of hyphens in this blog but no equivocation. The Democratic leadership is spineless in the face of a bunch of treasonous web geeks. One shudders to imagine any of them dealing with a terrorist threat.
One last look at the news before I finish and it's all about OJ. He's in trouble with the police again. He should take out a full page ad in the New York Times proclaiming his innocence. All he has to do is say something bad about President Bush in the ad and he can get a reduced rate!
Everybody relax and enjoy the weekend. I'll stay angry for all of us.
