Four Letters

Before we get to today's post, remember, if you come in contact with a delusional liberal, your reply to almost everything is, "I agree with Presidents Obama and Bush."

The last four letters to the Boston Globe; as usual, they need absolutely no introduction:

Under the title “Obama took Cheney’s Advice”:

Editor,

On January 4, 2009, Vice President Cheney said the following during an interview with CBS's Bill Schieffer when asked about the national security measures enacted by the Bush-Cheney administration, "If (Obama) were to seek my advice - he hasn't, but if he were to seek my advice - I would say, look, before you go out and start to make policy based on the campaign rhetoric we heard last year, what you need to do is to sit down and find out what we've done, find out how we did it, what the justification was for it, what kind of results it's produced, and then make an informed judgment about whether or not you want to keep these things."

As we have seen President Obushma completely disavow his campaign rhetoric on national security measures and instead reassert Bush-Cheney on renditions, state secrets, wire-tapping, military tribunals, and Bagram Air Base detentions, as well as keeping Gitmo open, to list just a few reassertions, Obushma has, indeed, taken Cheney's advice.

Until the Angry Left convinced me of Cheney's deviousness I never would have thought him the puppeteer to marionette Obushma! Can he possibly be pulling the strings? Quick, call Saturday Night Live, I have a hysterical idea for a skit! (End of first letter.)

Under the title “2004 Democratic Presidential Nominee agrees with Cheney”:

Editor,

Mr. Derrick Z. Jackson pens yet another dishonest column attacking out-of-power Republicans when he tries to smear Vice President Cheney with "(Cheney) would have invaded Iraq even if we knew Saddam Hussein did not have weapons of mass destruction (Cheney talks and the GOP squirms, May 16, A11)".

As the Boston Globe reported on August 10, 2004, the 2004 Democratic Presidential nominee (this means he won his Party's nomination so he was somewhat popular within the Party) John F. Kerry, while standing on the rim of the Grand Canyon, stated, "Yes, I would have voted for the authority" for war knowing as he did a full 17 months after the start of the war that no weapons of mass destruction would be found.

While I'm writing about the least accomplished Senator in the history of the United States, I gratuitously add that I have yet to hear Sen. Kerry ask how President Obama plans to "win the peace" in Afghanistan or Pakistan.

Mr. Jackson also took a malicious shot at Cheney for his "secretive, industry-stacked energy panels" but Mr. Jackson has yet to write anything about in-power Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's "secretive, industry-stacked" health care panels.

I, of course, agree with Cheney/Kerry and Cheney/Clinton because I see through Mr. Jackson's deceptions and mischaracterizations. Only fools and self-deceivers see a difference where none exists. (End of second letter.)

Under the title “Real Oxymoron: Pro-Life Democrat (Blogger's Note: Ms. Ellen Goodman had suggested that 'pro-choice Republican' was an oxymoron)”:

Editor,

Ms. Ellen Goodman's entire pathetic column, The days of pro-choice Republicans (May 15, A15), is resoundingly rebutted by the fact that there really is no such thing as a pro-life Democrat.

Like so many other issues, on the abortion issue, the Republicans demonstrably have the bigger tent of ideas. (End of third letter.)

Under the title “Military Commissions were an Act of Congress”:

Editor,

It is simply a lie that the military tribunals established to try the terrorists held by the Obama-Biden Administration at Guantanamo were "created by the Bush Administration" (Trust the federal courts, May 7, 2009).

The military courts were the result of an act of Congress.

The Military Commissions Act of 2006 was passed by a House vote of 253 - 168 with 34 Democrats in favor of trying the terrorists. The Senate passed the same bill by a vote of 65 - 34 with 13 Democrats voting "yea". Notable Senators voting "yea" were Ken Salazar (CO), later asked by President Obama to serve in the Obama-Biden Administration (SecInterior), and Jay Rockefeller (WV) who was briefed on enhanced interrogation methods used by the CIA at Guantanamo and who raised no objections to the methods.

It is obscene that the Boston Globe would pervert President Bush's ability to drive Congressional bipartisanship, an ability that has so far eluded President Obama. (End of fourth letter.)
