Smoke on the Water: Sanity Francisco; a refreshing change

This is perhaps the single most skillful and concise dissection and summation of nearly the entire whacko world of the liberal left.

Not only the barking moonbats of these Great United States, but of those of our ~~friends~~ backstabbing ~~allies~~ jealous, envious former world powers.

Throw in his take on the utterl confusion of our delcared enemies, and you've found a one-stop-shop for taking on just about every segment of the Axis of Weasels.

Adam Sparks has one fantastic body of work in the San Fransico Chronicle's archives. Remarkable, a writer of his caliber and outlook producing such gems from the Heart of the Granolafied left.

His December 22 editorial in that paper defines the term "Required Reading".

With no further ado, I give you his "U.S. Triumphs Over The Axis Of Weasels
VIEW FROM THE RIGHT"

"What I want to know is what in the world so many Democrats are doing supporting the president's unilateral intervention in Iraq!" -- Presidential candidate Howard Dean, before the California Democratic Convention

Hopefully, Dr. Dean's political instincts are better than his memory. The good doctor may have forgotten that the United Nations was asked to participate in Iraq's liberation and rejected the idea some three times, even after 12 years of Iraqi intransigence. Second, this wanna-be leader of the free world may be unaware that only 49 free nations signed on as coalition partners. That, for the benefit of the mathematically impaired, is 48 nations more than "unilateral."

Looks to me like Dr. Howie excelled at New Math? I wonder how his 1+48=1 thinking would translate into a Federal Budget? But, nothing that radical tax increases won't make up for. No wonder that the Marxist wing of the Lenninist party loves the ~~good Doctor~~ blithering moron.

The news of Saddam Hussein's capture has captivated the attention of our nation and the world and has brightened the spirits and morale of our brave servicemen and servicewomen in Iraq. And, at a time when the United States celebrates the capture of one of the most vicious and murderous tyrants in world history, we have presidential challengers backpedaling on their vitriolic and frequently vicious comments against the president.
Dean should be eating his words now during his campaign, or so anyone would think. But Dean won't let reason and the current national euphoria get in the way of the vile hatred he has for George W. Bush. The anger factor may well be his key campaign strategy for rallying his base, the leftist wing of the Demo party.

Presuming that Dean doesn't implode and cost himself the donkination, George Bush will hand Dean his ass (filet of jackass?) in at least a 46 state landslide in '04. Guess Dean will have to check himself into the Betty Ford Clinic for a 12-step program for Angerholics Anonymous?

The capture of Saddam, the notorious Ace of Spades, caught the world's imagination. There was wild celebrating in Iraq, and even world leaders who opposed the Iraq invasion congratulated our president. Yet the day following the capture finds the hapless Dean on the campaign trail, failing to take note of the gravity of the moment, when there was a collective national sigh of relief that a historic milestone had been reached.

Howie's gonna hear another sigh within the year. It'll be the sigh of relief from the vast majority of sane Americans, relieved that his brand of lunacy just got served a steaming mug of "Shut the Fuck Up!"

Dean, seemingly oblivious to the worldwide accolades following the arrest, continued his bitter partisan attacks. He even exhorted voters at one campaign stop to support him so that, together, "we can give George Bush a one-way bus ticket back to Crawford, Texas." Has this doctor prescribed himself too much medication, making him become totally out of touch with mainstream America, or is he just overly consumed with himself?

If only it were too much medication. Howie might have an excuse then. But the physican can't "heal thyself", as it seems beyond him to self-diagnose his case of chronic cerebral rectumitus.

Dean is most certainly a big loser in the wake of the Saddam snare. Here's a scorecard for other winners and losers in the wake of the dramatic capture:

George W. Bush Is the Big Winner

George had the perseverance to fight the war on terror. Which other presidential candidates would have? With jobless rates comfortably low, the Dow over 10,000, the passage of a Bush-sponsored Medicare bill (which stole all the Democrat thunder), Iraq liberated and Hussein neatly in prison, what do the Dems have left to complain about? The nation's water quality, perhaps? Don't worry. Leave it to the Democrats to find some gloom and doom after all good news sinks their presidential prospects. You won't have to wait long to hear Demo malaise, their wailing and gnashing of teeth. They have so much grief to give.

They have so very little but grief to offer.

The Nine Dwarves: Losers

The other Democratic presidential candidates, noticing that Dean's spiel has been playing so well with the lefties in the North, had all been doing lousy imitations of Dean's "hate Bush and the war on Iraq" road show. But now the campaign has degenerated to such a point that it has even seen relatively hawkish U.S. Sens. Kerry, Edwards, Gephardt and Lieberman all famously bad mouth the president and his strategies in the war on terror.

Lemminghood is not a precursor to Leadership. The lemmings of the left though, find it an admirable quality, indeed. I'd say they'd follow Chirac into hell, but really, all they'd need is a one-way ticket on Air France.

They've all claimed he should have done things differently. But what, precisely, would they have done otherwise? They each would have brought in the "international community." Seems they have succumbed to the same mathematical dyslexia as Dean has. And we naively thought that the aforementioned 48 freedom-loving nations that supported our efforts in Iraq were a fair share of that community.

They're still hungover from their eight-year Klinton Kool Aid bender.

Besides, how many thousands more dead bodies should our prospective Democratic commander-in-chief have needed before acting? None of the dwarves would say. And even Hillary Clinton, who has not declared herself a candidate, still had the gumption, while addressing troops in Afghanistan during a recent fact-finding mission, to criticize the commander in chief. That's chutzpah.

In my view, it's worse. Coming from a U.S. Senator in a war zone, her words are nothing less than rending aid and comfort to our enemies. At the very least, she should have faced a formal censure upon her return. Hot tar, a bushel of feathers and a one way ride on a fence rail would not be too much, either.

The Iraqi People: Winners

There was more celebrating following Saddam's capture than there ever was following the military capture of Baghdad. If the amount of celebratory gunfire heard throughout Iraq when the news was announced is any indication of happiness, the Iraqis will remember that occasion as their Independence Day. Why? Because a pall has been lifted, and the Iraqi people can now see the silver lining, while the American Dems cannot. They're still wandering and bumping around in a miasma of despair.

Oh, I think we'll have similar celebrations here in the United States when George Bush resoundingly trouces the donks in November. Minus the stupidity of firing live rounds into the air, that is. That said, I won't be surprized if the odd donk or three uses a live round on himself as a result.

Axis of Weasels: Losers and Crybabies

These powerful nations all abstained from joining the coalition to assist the United States in liberating Iraq. Lieberman's infamous comment about his front-running rival -- "If Howard Dean had his way, Saddam Hussein would still be in power today, not in prison, and the world would be a more dangerous place" -- might as well have referred to the Axis of Weasels: France, Germany and Russia, all of whom were totally opposed to both U.N. and American intervention in Iraq and fought diplomatically, politically and economically to keep the world's leading tyrant in power.

Which seems to have inspired Dean to aspire to the title vacated by Saddam: The World's Greatest Tyrant. And no, I'm not exaggerating. If you thought Clinton abused Executive powers, just envision a Dean ~~Presidency~~ Dictatorship.

This stance hasn't stopped the Axis from crying about being locked out of lucrative reconstruction contracts the United States controls. Sure, they'll all participate now; isn't that special? They wouldn't participate with troops, they wouldn't participate with funds to rebuild Iraq and they even stonewalled us in the United Nations. Where is the moral consistency of the Weasels? If removing Saddam was so morally objectionable, why is rebuilding Iraq not? It's all a part of the same project. Now that the dirty work is over and the multibillion-dollar contracts are up for grabs, our fair-weather friends are back. The United States is right in telling the Weasels to go fly a kite. The situation may remind one of the famous fable of the ant and the cricket.

Comparing any of the nine dwarves to the cricket of fabled fame, is to insult the cricket.

Winner: America's International Prestige

Before, much of leftist-leaning Europe considered us the bully. Now, for a brief moment, we are liberators. Each of the leaders of the nations that comprise the Axis of Weasels sent our president a cable of congratulations that a new era has been reached. "It's a major event that should strongly contribute to democracy and stability in Iraq and allow the Iraqis to master their destiny," French President Jacques Chirac said, and, not to be outdone, German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder gushed, "With great happiness, I have learned of the capture of Saddam Hussein. I congratulate you on the successful mission."

Do they mean it, or are they making nice to get the big-bucks contracts? You decide.

They're after the big bucks contracts. They're also fervently praying that Saddam dies before he can spill the beans on their collusion and perfidy. I'd formally tell 'em to collect their Iraqi debts personally. From Saddam. Good luck, chumps.

Palestinians: Losers

You may remember when the Palestinians danced raucously in the streets after 9/11. Well, their mood seems a bit more somber today. "Palestinians in the West Bank reacted with shock and disbelief to the capture of ousted Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, with many expressing deep disappointment that the man who symbolized defiance against the U.S. and Israel surrendered without resistance," according to Khaled Abu Toameh in The Jerusalem Post.

Worry not. You'll soon hear similar sentiments of dismay from the lunatic left when their eventual candiate realizes that resistance is futile. That point will be driven home in November.

Bush once famously said, "You're either with us, or you're against us." Well, there's no doubt that the Palestinians are clearly on the "against us" side. Apparently, they've been under their own tyrant's boots so long that up looks like down to them. How else can you explain Saddam's tremendous popularity with the oppressed Palestinian people? Perhaps it's related to the tens of millions of dollars that have flowed to Palestinian terrorist organizations from Saddam and other millions directly to the families of suicide bombers.

Well, if you want to see what a donk party suicide candidate really looks like, you'll find a great photo in this post.

But more puzzling is why the United States devotes so many resources toward removing a tyrant while simultaneously investing massive financial support to build a new state for an undeserving people who hate America and worship tyrants like Saddam and bin Laden. Won't we be replacing one Saddam with another? This may explain, in part, why the Mideast peace process is anything but peaceful.

And making sausage is anything but beautiful, but my oh my, how tasty are the results!

Barbara Boxer: Loser*

* redundancy alert, mine

We don't have to look only to former Vermont governors to find national leaders who hate troops and the things troops do -- namely, wage war. We have our own lefty politicos right here. U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer will be running for reelection next year in a state that just voted to throw its ineffectual governor out. It's also a state that has not yet recovered from military-base closures and the loss of tens of thousands of aerospace jobs. Boxer voted to decimate the military; expect her political head on a platter next year.

The only reason I'd ever consider moving back to my homestate, would be to help vote that skank out of office!

Boxer, who consistently votes to decrease military spending, has been on a warpath against the Iraq war. She voted against the first Iraq War resolution in 1991, and then she opposed authorizing use of military force against that nation in 2002. What would Iraq actually have to do before she would begin to care? It would have to either invade her neighborhood Starbucks in Mill Valley or become pro life for this senator to take notice.

Ouch. That wasn't just a bullseye, it was in the X of the 10 ring.

Although this state's residents are predominantly registered with the Democratic Party, they most decidedly favor Iraq's liberation and the rebuilding of that nation. Boxer is simply out of touch, a victim of her worn-out, peace-sign ideology. A Field Poll of Californians taken in April of this year shows that 76 percent of Californians supported the war. And, notwithstanding the widely publicized plethora of antiwar demonstrations in San Francisco, which skewed both public and media perception of the liberal Bay Area, the reality is that 67 percent of the region's residents supported the war effort.

Which fact needs to be emphasised repeatedly in the months between now and November. But of course, the Marxist Media will do their part to spin Boxer's positions 180 degrees in a (hopefully vain) effort to ensure her return to her vaunted ~~Senate seat~~ place in what she sees as her personal politburo.

You can expect the Deans of the world to continue to talk about quagmires and what an excellent commander in chief each would make. Yeah, right -- maybe while prancing around in a Gershwin musical wearing epaulettes and singing a tune. But the good doctor is no George Washington, our celebrated Revolutionary War hero and first president. It was Washington who said something that Dean will never quite get: "To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace."

The weasels of the world, Dean included, do a damn fine job of preparing for defeat. Which should be all the warning needed to ensure that those of their stripe never get near the Office of the President of the United States of America.

Hell, Dean's not even worthy to govern France.

Comments

Thank you for sharing this gem. My jaw is still dropped. Adam Sparks, authored this article, and the San Francisco Chronicle actually printed it? Is this just a one-time anomaly from the state, or another sign of the times with the new Republican Governor?
