Why Libs are Kooky
I just had to copy in this quote from some lunatic named Lloyd, writing this, believe it or not, as part of his effort to denounce a recent book by Bernard Goldberg, 100 People Who are Screwing Up America. What this has to do with Goldberg's book, I couldn't begin to tell you.
And finally, how could anyone create a list of people screwing up America without listing President Bush and many of his cronies? Is lying and poor judgment that leads to a war that kills an estimated 110,000+ on both sides, wastes hundreds of billions and increases the threat of terrorism no big deal? Or what about the mess he has made of the federal deficit and the Iraq occupation, bungling 2004 flu vaccine production, undermining Social Security (while thousands lose private pensions), failure to address global warming, pollution, CAFE standards, thieving government contractors ($9 billion missing in Iraq), dishonest (eg. Rove) and incompetent staffers (eg. Tenet, Rice), outsourcing American jobs (CAFTA and allowing Mexican truckers into the U.S. will worsen the problem), the trade deficit, and the flood of illegal immigrants into the U.S (also hides potential terrorists). Then there is his his support of medical malpractice limitations that lessen incentives to reduce the 100,000+ annual unnecessary medical deaths - anesthesiologists did it while REDUCING real dollar malpractice premiums. And opposing medical marijuana, and total failure to take any preventive action pre-9/11, despite repeated evidence of al-Quaeda's plans to use planes as missiles? Finally, as if to atone for all the deaths he has caused, Bush severely limits medical research using stem cells, and makes a "Federal case" out of the Terry Schiavo tragedy.
What a piful life Lloyd must lead, to be filled with so much anger and hatred for the president, most of which is based on bad information. Now I (and many other conservative types) am very concerned about CAFTA, and admit to being angry about Bush's failure to protect our borders from the national emergency of illegal immigration. And I'm also upset that the courts are opening the door wide open for our biggest corporations to walk away from their pension obligations. But the rest of his diatribe is so skewed and devoid of factual support to be ludicrous.
It would be fairly simple for me to make a point-by-point refutation of nearly every statement in his murderously outrageous rant, but unfortunately there is so much divisiveness over political philosophy today that it likely wouldn't change anyone's mind. Those who pay attention to the facts, don't let spinners on the left or right form their opinions for them, and aren't already reds would already understand and agree with what I posted, while the rest would stand up and cheer Lloyd without bothering to even read me.
It would be tempting to beat up heavily on poor Lloyd for his ignorance, but I'm more inclined to feel sorry for him.
