So, the latest word in liberal nonsense is that our honorable president orchestrated the destruction of the World Trade Centers.
You know, it's bad enough that some college students are naive enough to believe such rot. It's even worse that college graduates can be persuaded to swallow it too. It is, however, a disgrace beyond reason that college professors not only can be made to buy such trash, but to come up with and teach it!
Now I could see if the supposed conspiracy were that Bush purposely allowed our enemies to break into secure airspace to attack us, but even that is more risk than any man in his right mind would ever take to accomplish the goal of expanding defense. I mean, there has got to be a better plan for convincing Joe Public that defense spending needs to increase than by jeopardizing his presidency allowing some of America's most significant buildings to be compromised.
This is almost unbelievable -- even for liberals...
Almost.

BUSH COMPARED TO HITLER

Now there is a GREAT intro to a blog entry. As wacky as it sounds, it is true AND it came from a college professor! Kevin Barrett (hopefully no relation to the great Chicago Cubs current catcher Mike Barrett), a part-time instructor @ UW-Madison, wrote an essay comparing Bush to Hitler and believes the US was the culprit of 9/11 and that the US 'has made up Islam vs Christians' in order to justify increases in defense spending.

"Like Bush and the neocons, Hitler and the Nazis inaugurated their new era by destroying an architectural monument and blaming its destruction on their designated enemies," he wrote. Barrett said Tuesday he was comparing the attacks to the burning of the German parliament building, the Reichstag, in 1933, a key event in the establishment of the Nazi dictatorship.

The usual rhetoric of 'he should be fired' is apparently making the rounds in and around the area of the school. I, however, do not think he should be fired. Let him believe it; just don't send your kids to that school or certaintly do not sign up for ANY class he teaches. What really gives me the red ass about this story is that people actually believe this conspiracy stuff. This guy actually believes that WE blew up the WTC? So, what, we made those video tapes and put on some good middle-eastern accents? And now the US g'vt is 'fabricating Islam vs Christians' to justify the defense budget? You have got to be kidding me! So, in other words, HAMAS/PALESTINE/TALIBAN/AL'QEDA is all a farce. The US is 'making it up' so they can get off on deploying our troops all over the world. Yeah. OK. Sounds plausible.....if you a thorazine addict......

Check this article out about North Korea. After reading it, you will feel as lucky as I do where we live.

I just have to post Rod's reply to the mystery comment accusing us of being part of a closet Republican Gay Group along with other bizarre insults.

First of all, I cannot make a stand for Doc or Tom, but as for me I have never used such negative and, frankly, terrible words to comment or rebut anything on this blog. Further, even though my fellow bloggers have been abrasive at times, they have never been so foul and hateful. Why is it that folks like you cannot seem to make a sensible retort without resorting to hate speech, name-calling, and vulgarity?
Oh, yeah... I guess without a sensible retort that's all that's left.
It seems that this well-spring of bile was bourn almost (if not entirely) of an emotional reaction. This is not surprising since it's the only way the liberal-minded know how to debate. I will, however, as a kindness, pick through the few attempts to use reasoning found in your comments and respond as objectively as possible.

"12 years of conservative congress, 6 of Bush and you still blame liberals?"
Actually, yes.
Better question. Forty years of Democrat rule and in two terms Reagan topples communist Russia - care to explain? The major reason W's father lost his second term was because the liberal house of his day spent more than he could save in order to thwart his "...no new taxes." promise. You will note that his son learned from that mistake - of course, he hasn't had a liberal house to impede him. It's the only reason we aren't still trying to develop an understanding with the terrorists.
Even when liberals aren't failing to accomplish anything they claim to be, they are trying just as hard to ensure that the conservatives can't either.

"Most democrats are Christian."
That may well be. If so, bully for them. I will say this, though. Liberalism, by it's very nature, is unable to stand behind absolutes of any kind. It is therefore not possible to be truly liberal and be persuaded of any train of thought that involves absolutes. God is conservative. Call that an extremist remark if you will, but the fact remains - you don't have to be a Christian to be a conservative, but you have to be a conservative to be a Christian.

"Hell, the U.S. has never had a more Christian population (as defined by church attendance)."
Allow me to clear this up for you, Friend - going into a church doesn't make you a Christian any more than going into hospital makes you a doctor. If liberals are so Christian let's see the Christ in their beliefs and actions. By their fruits you shall know them.

"...what if the leader of your child's field trip gave a Satanic prayer with the same option to participate. Would that go over?"
First of all, Satanism largely doesn't recognize any deity - including Satan, who to them is more a representation of man's freedom to live as he chooses. It is unlikely that prayer is a huge part of their lives. Second, and perhaps more importantly, Satanism does not proselytize or believe in public self-promotion, so a real Satanist would probably never try to lead a "Satanic prayer" with anyone's children. Not that you'd know that - your intent was merely to slight us and call our beliefs into question/make us look foolish. BTW, if anyone reading this is a Satanist, I apologize if you believe I misrepresented you. I tried to be accurate. You may correct me if you think I am errant. After all, you guys have yet to treat us as badly as this "enlightened liberal-thinker."

"Christianity has not had as much power as they do now since they were allowed to burn witches based on the testimony of children setting up adults they did not like!!!"
If Christianity really had that kind of power, prayer would still be in school and stores would be closed on Sunday. It is the unflinching absolutism of Christianity that threatens to create people who think independantly of the government. That is why liberals strive to keep Christianity's influence down.

"...most of the founding fathers were liberal..."
Well, they did believe in tolerance, if you think that is exclusive to liberalism. I know they didn't all behave like Christians - claiming to be or not. I mean, Franklin sired enough bastards to start his own little league. Maybe he is the real "Father of our country."
I digress. Back to tolerance. The reason the founding fathers wanted a nation where all men were free was because they had been told what to think by their government. The reason they believed in freedom? According to the Declaration of Independance, which you noted yourself, it is because freedom is the right of all men as given by God. No one in this blog believes in creating an ecclesiocracy, but if faith in "Jesus or Casper the friendly ghost" is really as "unverifiable" as you say, it would only be right, in a society which is supposed to support tolerance, that all beliefs be recognized and unmolested by baseless criticism while being discriminated against for no good reason.

As to the implications that we are or should be gay:
We have said nothing concerning homosexuality when you wrote your comments. You, however, used no fewer than ten seperate statements involving homosexuality. The sad thing is, as a straight man I don't think I could have imagined half the things you suggested. Also, you "hate fags too"? Why? When did we say we hated homosexuals? Tom says he is all about the lesbians. Our friends Jason and Pete would be surprised to think we hate them as well. I wonder who is more frustrated about his sexuality.

"It's not even worth analyzing your statements."
Strange. Seems to me you analyzed our statements for about five very long paragraphs after the above statement.

"...I could critique your blog forever but it's not worth it."
Really? I thought you were going to "...check back and give (us) a grade."
We are all atingle with anticipation.
And finally...

"You have way too much time on your hands."
To this I think you have a better response than me.
"I surf the web for blogs and read blogs all day long."
Nice life, Bro. Have a blessed day.

REPUBLICAN HEADQUARTERS

Rodney, Carol and I went to the Republican HDQ in Mercer, PA last night. I have to mention, whatever your political party is, go out and get involved. We got to meet and hear several gifted speakers and aspiring public servants. It was a beautiful evening and time well spent. Go and volunteer right NOW!
