Democrats raise the white flag

by Bryan Strawser · Dec 9, 2005

Froggy writes of Howard Dean raising the white flag:

It is hardly surprising that someone like Howard Dean would predict a US defeat in Iraq. Being a huge loser himself and Chairman of a party chock full of losers, I would imagine that it is difficult to see any serious challenge as being achievable. As for Kerry, it’s not like he hasn’t been down this road before; the only difference is that instead of slandering US troops before the Senate, he is doing it as a Senator. Frankly, I don’t know what to say that
wouldn’t fall into the category of ad hominem attack, and that is not the way I like to write. So I’ll let you do it.

It’s a damn shame that Howard and John have forgotten the lesson of one of greatest Presidents – a democrat himself who refused to ever give in:

I believe I interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost but will make very certain that this form of treachery shall never endanger us again.

Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory and our interests are in grave danger.

With confidence in our armed forces – with the unbounded determination of our people – we will gain the inevitable triumph

Moonbats Debate

by Bryan Strawser · Dec 9, 2005

Larry Elder posts both sides of what appears to be an email dialogue with a moonbat leftist:

What to do when you encounter someone who instinctively, pathologically hates President George W. Bush? Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean clearly spoke for many when he said, “I hate the Republicans and everything they stand for …” Consider, for example, the following anti-Iraq war letter I received, and my attempt to engage the sender in dialogue.

Read the rest.

Shockingly, there was no mention of “Bushitler” or “BushChimp”, though Cheney’s dark men make an appearance.

Multiple Monitors

by Bryan Strawser · Dec 8, 2005

Some commentary over at Infectious Greed about life with multiple monitors:

My main office setup has one Dell 2405 (a 24” LCD), and one “smaller” Dell panel that clocks in at around 19”. Funny thing is, as Jason is implicitly saying here, I keep wishing I had more screen real estate. Yes, people would make even more jokes about me playing air traffic controller in my spare time, but luxuriating in the glow of so many monitors feels … necessary.

I have two Dell 20″ monitors running into the Dell XPS desktop – they’re great, especially for gaming. The Powermac has the 23″ cinema screen along with the older 19″ studio display next to it. Love that too. The laptop, unfortunately, only has one screen.

I only wish I had multiple monitors at work.

Moonbats

by Bryan Strawser · Dec 8, 2005

Yup, the levees were bombed. I knew it! I KNEW IT!

On Tuesday, black Katrina survivors told Congress they felt racism played a major role in the government’s slow response to the storm, with some residents telling Congress they believe the government bombed the levees to intentionally breach them.

Ernie the Attorney feels the same way:

Yes, let’s send some more people to Washington like this. As Congress decides how much money to appropriate to a region that has been devasted by an epic storm (a region, which by the way includes the Gulf Coast of Mississippi), it’s always good to hear from New Orleans conspiracy theorists who have no shred of scientific evidence to back up their ludicrous claims.

For example, read the article that contains this quote: “I was on my front porch,” Diane Cole French said at the hearings. “I have witnesses that they bombed the walls of the levee.” And watch the video associated with the article.

As Forest Gump said, stupid is as stupid does.

And we wonder why things are taking so long in New Orleans.. now you know…
