Insanity Revealed
Kayinmaine over at White Noise Insanity is positively gushing over the many accomplishments that her Messiah has achieved in the past week. Her byline is "Politicians…don’t piss down our backs and then tell us it’s raining!" I think Kay doesn't seem to know the difference between rain and piss...
I left a comment to the post, but knowing her proclivity to delete anything that might bring an opposing view, I'm posting my response here. "Made health care reform the law of the land!" Yeah, he put government in control over 1/6 of our economy; forcing citizens to buy a product from private companies, while forcing said companies to take unsustainable business risks,and forcing other companies to take huge losses to comply with the law; setting prices for services for all doctors to follow regardless of specialty (ever hear of the term"free market economy"?); assuming direct control over all student loans (and just what do student loans have to do with HC?)and the hits just keep rolling...really something to be proud of.. "Got Russia to sign a nuclear arms treaty with the United States to slash nuclear arsenals by a third!" No, he negotiated a new treaty with Russia over nuclear weapons...like almost every other President has done since JFK, nothing is SIGNED, it still has to be ratified; and I fear that, because of the heavy-handed way that HC was passed, there is no way that this treaty will ever go anywhere anytime soon. And Russia still refuses to water down their support of Iran's nuclear aspirations, so tell me again, WHAT did he really accomplish? "Played hardball with Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel!" Again, NO he didn't; he publicly humiliated our staunchest ally in the Middle East. Tell me what he gained by doing so, and I'll be more than willing to rethink my opinion."Surprised our soldiers in Afghanistan with a visit!" Yes, so? When President Bush surprised the troops in Iraq, you castigated him as being a coward for not conducting it in an "official" manner. Moreover his message to the troops was twofold: 1. Thanking them for a job well done to the best of their ability. Kudos to him for that! 2. Telling them that the job was far from over and that further sacrifices would be required of them to get the job done. Again, kudos to him for admitting reality; but doesn't that interfere with the Progressive meme that we shouldn't be engaged in this war at all? What happened to "no blood for oil" and "stop American imperialism"? Seems to this observer that Kay sets the bar for adulation at an all time low. UPDATE. Kay responded: kayinmaine says:
March 30, 2010 at 6:32 PM Awww, I see Bert M. misses George Bush’s fascism. Too bad!!! We’ve got a President now who can concentrate on more than one thing unlike George Bush! George Bush hated our troops and only considered them a pawn in his right wing oil cartel game. He wanted more nukes on the planet and loved the Israeli government (hence him starting two wars to protect her while telling Americans our soldiers were protecting our freedoms & rights, which was a bunch of bullshit!). If George could have gotten away with it, he would have had anal sex with Benjamin Netanyahu to show his appreciation for the support of his oil transaction in Iraq! George once told the media that future presidents would have to handle his mess in Iraq and Afghanistan and when the Generals on the ground over there asked for more troops in 2008 for Afghanistan, he did nothing. It was President Obama who added in the 30,000 the Generals wanted in Afghanistan WITH THE IDEA THE TROOPS WILL HAVE A WITHDRAWAL DATE. George Bush’s withdrawal date? NONE! ZIPPO! ZILCHO! As long as Georgie’s kids don’t have to serve the country, he could give a shit if yours does.

I responded, but it seems as though I've been blocked... Here is my reply: I think I wasn't clear in my comment. Perhaps I should have said: "Moreover Obama's message to the troops was twofold:" to make it clearer. I am no great fan of President Bush,his only saving grace to me is/was he was better than the alternative at the time.
I was greatly concerned when he came up with the Patriot Act as an un-American response to a grave situation. (incidentally, your Messiah just renewed that act when it was due to "sunset"--with the exception of not continuing some of the safeguards against infringing liberties that was in the original, guess Bush isn't the only Fascist!) Fascism? You might look up the definition again, KAY. The HC bill does demonstrate it if you want an example of what it looks like in action. Just WHERE IS ALL THE OIL ?!? Iraq isn't even in the top five countries exporting oil to the U.S. If all your accusations were true, we should be swimming in oil by now. When President Bush sent 20,000 troops in the "surge" of 2007, he was castigated by a certain group as a "warmonger = Hitler". The Party YOU espouse claimed that it failed before the boots even hit the ground... I guess I shouldn't be too surprised that you maintain a double standard. Adding troops to an AoO and setting a deadline for their return (telling your enemy that you will fight so long and no longer )doesn't seem like good military doctrine to me, but then again I only served as a soldier, not a politician/tactician. I currently have three relatives engaged in theater,one of them recovering from an injury due to an IED, so the war is very personal to me. Whether or not we should have engaged in conflict is a debate that can be argued, but once we are engaged, the ONLY goal should be to win that conflict decisively as quickly as possible and then bring our troops home. President Bush started the war to protect Israel?!? Care to show any evidence?
Israel is our staunchest ally in the Middle East. It has been in a war of survival ever since it's inception. It has shown itself willing to make great sacrifices in the goal of achieving a peace with it's neighbors, with little results from the other side. Why are you so anti-Semitic?
