Elections Matter
In my inaugural post, August 2, 2005, I said elections mattered; I must have been making reference to the John Roberts' nomination or confirmation. Again, the brilliant Sen. Barack Obama and I think very much alike.
Amazing, al Qaeda's number two leader and Sen. John F. Kerry, Sen. Harry Reid, Gov. Howard Dean, and Boston Globe columnists Robert Kuttner, James Carroll and Derrick Z. Jackson all share the same opinion of the leader of the global war on terror, President George W. Bush. This is what Ayman al-Zawahri said about our President over the weekend, "Bush, you are not only defeated and a liar, but, with God's help and might, a failure. You are a curse on your own nation and you have brought and will bring them only catastrophes and tragedies (Qeada deputy mocks Bush, Boston Globe, January 31, A7)." Amazing.
During last night's State of the Union address, the Democrats sat on their hands when the President said, "As we make progress on the ground, and Iraqi forces increasingly take the lead, we should be able to further decrease our troop levels - but those decisions will be made by our military commanders, not by politicians in Washington, DC." Of course I don't like to question the patriotism of Congressional Democrats, but, boy, they sure make it hard not to! They can't applaud for the decision-making ability of career soldiers? Of Generals? Do Democrats loath the military that much?
During last night's State of the Union address, the Democrats sat on their hands when the President said, "So to prevent another attack - based on authority given to me by the Constitution and by statute - I have authorized a terrorist surveillance program to aggressively pursue the international communications of suspected al-Qeada operatives and affiliates to and from America. Previous Presidents have used the same constitutional authority I have - and Federal courts have approved the use of that authority. Appropriate members of Congress have been kept informed. This terrorist surveillance program has helped prevent terrorist attacks. It remains essential to the security of America. If there are people inside our country who are talking with with al-Qeada, we want to know about it - because we will not sit back and wait to be hit again." Of course I don't like to question the patriotism of Congressional Democrats, but, boy, they sure make it hard not to! Oh, I already wrote that. Oh, well.
I wonder if Derrick Z. Jackson, African-American columnist for the Boston Globe, is going to do a screed against Sen. Robert Byrd of West Virginia. Recall, Sen. Byrd is an ex-Ku Klux Klan member and the only Senator in history to vote against African-American, U.S. Supreme Court nominees Thurgood Marshall and Clarence Thomas. On Tuesday, Senator Byrd voted for Judge Samuel Alito, the nominee that Sen. Ted Kennedy and Globe columnist Jackson implied was a white racist. Acknowledging Mr. Jackson to be nothing more than a liberal demagogue, I'm betting that he lets politics trump principle. You see, Sen. Byrd is a Democrat. He's the Dean of Democrats. He's the "conscience of the Senate". Mr. Jackson should be so proud of himself.
Senator John F. Kerry said the confirmation of Samuel Alito would essentially be a "coup" by President Bush on the judiciary. Wow, I would have thought you would need some juice to stage a coup. Yes, I'm positive of it, President Bush is definitely a weak President as he averaged just 68 votes for each of his extremely conservative Supreme Court nominees.
