The blind hatred and double standard that exists toward anything that doesn’t originate from Democrat Party members is ludicrous. Take as an example the demonizing of President Bush for his commuting of Scooter Libby’s prison sentence. Although, Mr. Libby, his former chief of staff convicted of obstruction of justice in the federal probe of the leak of CIA operative Valerie Plame's identity after her husband, former ambassador Joe Wilson publicly criticized the Bush administration for playing fast and loose with intelligence backing the invasion of Iraq, was not pardoned and still had to pay the $250,000 fine. Now, how many Democrats complained when their “savior,” President Clinton, issued full pardons to 367 people? These pardons were for people convicted of drug dealing, car theft, bank robbery, illegal firearm sales, bribery, embezzlement and perjury.
Another example of this double standard is the firing of U.S. attorneys. President Bush fired four because of poor job performance and the Democrats act as if this is an impeachable offence. But no one even batted an eyelash when President Clinton fired all 96 U.S. attorneys shortly after entering office.
The Democrats also like to call Republicans racists. As an example of Republican racism, whenever Republicans vote for lower taxes the Democrats accuse the Republicans of being racists because according to Democrats, “Tax breaks favor the rich not the poor.” The poor being made up of minorities. What the Democrats don’t mention is that Southern Democrats, including then Senator Al Gore Sr., voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and that former KKK Klansman Democrat Sen. Robert Byrd, who joined the KKK in 1942, was elected “Exalted Cyclops” and held the title of “Kleagle” (recruiter), tried to block the bill by personally filibustering for 14 hours. He also voted against the Voting Rights Act of 1965 that outlawed discriminatory voting practices used to deny or abridge the right of any citizen of the United States to vote on account of race or color. You decide for yourself, would you rather support a political party who’s members cuts taxes or one that is comprised of KKK recruits of cross burning lynch mobs? By the way, Senator Exalted Cyclops’s hero was segregationist Mississippi Democrat Senator Theodore Bilbo. Senator Theo was also a member of the KKK, wow, what a surprise. Bilbo was outspoken in his belief that blacks should not be allowed to vote anywhere and was a prominent participant in the lengthy filibuster of the anti-lynching bill before the Senate in 1938. He stated,
“If you succeed in the passage of this bill, you will open the floodgates of hell in the South. Raping, mobbing, lynching, race riots, and crime will be increased a thousandfold; and upon your garments and the garments of those who are responsible for the passage of the measure will be the blood of the raped and outraged daughters of Dixie, as well as the blood of the perpetrators of these crimes that the red-blooded Anglo-Saxon White Southern men will not tolerate.” (Theodore G. Bilbo and the Decline of Public Racism, 1938-1947" by Robert L. Fleegler, Spring 2006, The Journal of Mississippi History)
Do I need to say more?
A more recent example of the insidious hatred toward any Republican action is the war in Iraq. President Bush had the blessing from the U.S. Congress including all the major Democrats who later want to surrender and recall out troups. He also had the okay from the United Nations and the cooperation of several nations. But when President Clinton decided to bomb a former ally, Kosovo, without United Nations approval that was fine and dandy with the lefties. Although, he did have the support of the German Luftwaffe who where more then happy to goose-step back into Kosovo and finish off any Serbians they missed in World War II.
The Democrats loved it when President Clinton bombed bridges, hospitals, schools, civilian factories and other non-military targets. Where were the peace marches then?
If a civilian target was bombed in Iraq the Democrats want to Court Marshal everyone involved. But where was the uproar when President Clinton used Tomahawk cruise missiles to destroy terrorist targets in Afghanistan. Targets like an aspirin factory and several civilian neighborhoods. The Democrats couldn’t set a date too soon for a complete withdraw of troops from Iraq, but it’s been 10 years and we are still sending troops to Kosovo. Republican wars baaaaaaad, Democrat wars goooood.
Now we have the example being set concerning Afghanistan. As our troops are exiting Iraq, per the demands of the Democrats, they are entering Afghanistan and by the end of the year should number a round 68,000, yet there hasn’t been one peace march protesting that troop buildup. Why not? The Democrats declared the Iraq war a “quagmire” almost from the first day yet the war in Afghanistan with its vague objectives could become the mother-of-all-quagmires. Republican quagmires baaaaaaad, Democrat quagmires gooooooood.
The “Democrats can do no wrong” attitude is similar to Marxism’s “The end justifies the means.”
Here’s a few choice quotes:
“If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction program.”
� President Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998
“We urge you to take necessary actions (including air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq’s refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs.”
� Letter to President Clinton, signed by Sens. Tom Daschle, John Kerry, Dianne Feinstein and Joe Lieberman, Oct. 9, 1998
“We know that he has secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country.”
� Al Gore, Sep. 23, 2002
“We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction.”
� Sen. Ted Kennedy, Sep. 27, 2002
“If left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will develop nuclear weapons.”
� Sen. Hillary Clinton, Oct. 10, 2002
