The Eleventh Commandment
Oh, sure. He could have meant lots of different things. But the younger Ron Reagan broke the elder's golden rule when he brought up that some people wear their religion on their sleeves to justify war. This was intended to hit George Bush between the eyes. He broke his dad's rule and many Republican's hearts.
What'd We Ever Do To Him?
With due respect to the Reagans, they weren't exactly O. and H. Nelson. Actually, they were more like real Hollywood families. For some reason, Ron, in his expressionless, desperately vain way, chose to utilize a family and national tragedy to forward his latest anti-American movement.
Sorry. I loved Ronald Reagan, and I appreciate all the wonderful things he did. But Ron Reagan went too far.
RWR's Eleventh Commandment? "Don't ever say anything negative about a fellow Republican in public." I know; Ron isn't a Republican. Does that really matter? It was a funeral, after all.
Michael Moore for President
Sweet revenge, isn't it? Wouldn't you love to see this guy pound those galled thighs on a campaign stage? Don't count on it. This guy can put it out, but I don't see him taking it.
He made the statement last week that he would sue anyone who tried to distort his "work." Just another narcissist.
Propaganda Herr Goebels Would Love
The latest salvo in the culture war is Hollywood's summer releases of anti-Bush "documentaries." They range from ranting about world pollution to AIDS to Bush's Skull and Bones affiliation at Yale, as nauseum.
As with Moore's "Farenheit 911" (a little too close to Bradbury's Farenheit 451, for my taste), the distributors are busting their behinds to get G-13 ratings in hope there are enough children who can READ who will also attend those movies. Good luck.
Message to you poseur McCulloughs: You all need to get a few factual courses in history--American, European, Western and Modern. How 'bout reading a book before you speak? And make sure you get information from several sources and universities. Oh,I almost forgot... and don't say "no problem" after someone you have just served in a restaurant asks you for more rolls or say thanks. It's really annoying to grownups and will affect your tip. And filming all those lies takes money!
Morons.
And take your damned hats off when you enter a building.
My Vow to Be Nice
Well. Anyway. Time to get pissed off at these Iraqis. Enough bellyaching already. Seems only 2% of them consider the U.S. as liberators. Well. We don't need no barn to fall on us.
If they don't want us, we can move over to Saudi Arabia without too much trouble...and Kuwait, Qatr. Of course, we would encourage the Kurds to become independent, promise their security, thus giving the U.S. a strategic lock on Turkey and the new Kurd state.
Meanwhile, if we have to leave, little old Sistani and Sadr will have to figure it out, sans the Kurds, the U.S. and with a lot of impossible problems. Then after the fallout, hopefully with few civilian casualties, we can clean up the mess, and start again.
I'll stop being flip about this now. I realize these folks don't know from democracy, but they're not stupid. The literacy rate among Iraqis is something like 80%.
They're scared. But.
It's time for them to figure out local governments and peaceful election processes, with or without outside help. Many in our country gave their lives and their treasure for the independence of the United States. The risk was huge. The Iraqis are no worse or better than them. Relatively speaking. In fact, they have a huge advantage the American Revolutionists never had--security provided by a large foreign army.
Wait a minute. Oh yeah. I forgot. France helped us.
Well. You get my point.
Thanks for the read.
