John Hieger's recent response to my post, "A summer of discontent?", is just another one of a long line of fruitless, and often factually inaccurate, accusations that seem to be representative of the left's campaign strategy this year.
But bless them for trying -- campaigning for a dolt like John Kerry would also leave me to abandon him, and just attack the opposition.
Now, I wish I had the time to read and respond to all the novels written by leftist NEXT writers/bloggers, but I don't. So forgive me if I fail to address an issue that deserves a response.
Ridiculous quote No. 1: "The Facist Censorship Machine," Yes, I know it must be disheartening to not be able to get your precious smut during the Super Bowl anymore. But isn't the FCC an independent agency? And since when has it been a civil right to show one's breast(s) over the public airwaves?
As for the typical "Bush lied" crap, well, add President Clinton, Vice President Gore, Secretary of State Madeline Albright and National Security Adviser Sandy Berger to that list also, because they also suggested or flat out declared that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. "But they didn't take us to war..."
Ridiculous juxtaposition No. 1: Bush is beholden to his billionaire "homies" yet also wants to turn America into "a big Christian Wal-Mart." Now I know Bush may not be "jiggy with it" enough for some of you, but pick one or the other. Either Bush is a right-wing, religious fanatic who supports the average consumer, or he's a corporate swine who lives off the fat of the rich. But he can't be both.
Well, maybe in the world of the left he can be, but we're talking about reality here -- not Al Franken's Fantasy Camp.
