A Day In The Looney Left

Hey folks,

Sorry I was not here yesterday. Well, actually I was. I got a little distracted with behind the screen stuff. I came in a found a note by my comment checker saying I HAD to see a comment left by a single Mother of three on the Plagiocephaly article I wrote back on May 20, 2006. I will share more soon. But fret not, I miss nothing. How about spending a day in the Looney World of the Left.

First up, hypocrisy. Yeah I know, Duh, right? But sometimes it even amazes me. Yesterday, World Net Daily’s Melanie Morgan wrote this.

The war on terrorism has shaken up the American homeland, and like any house, when things are shaken up you never know what will come crawling out from the dark corners.

In the case of Operation Iraqi Freedom, there's been an infestation of those who are determined to undermine our troops, and force them to surrender and admit defeat.

While most of the focus in the conservative world (and surprisingly in the Mainstream Media) this week has been on Scott Thomas Beauchamp, who admitted to Army investigators that he fabricated stories of wrongdoing by U.S. troops, I've also been swatting my folded newspaper at someone who has worked even harder to thwart the missions of our troops in Iraq: anti-war, left-wing activist, Jon Soltz.

Yes folks, Jon is a Vet. Yes he served in the Military. But he is now well founded to attack the war and the Bush administration. They LOVE guys like Soltz. They seem to feel that because he was a soldier, he cannot be criticized about his idiot remarks and actions. But this one, shows just how idiotic he really is.

Soltz is co-founder of the group VoteVets.org which works with MoveOn.org as part of the umbrella network known as Americans Against Escalation in Iraq.

This weekend Soltz was a panelist at the left-wing "Yearly Kos" convention where he launched into a tirade against U.S. Army Sgt. David Aguina of the 733rd maintenance company. Sgt. Aguina made the 'mistake' of noting the progress being made with "the surge" of U.S. troops in Iraq. He did not express any political opinions; he merely challenged the panel to prove him wrong that civilian casualties in Iraq had dropped.

I have touched on this quite a bit. They, the LWL, cannot accept good news about the war. They will not survive politically if we achieve victory.

Left-wing activist Jon Soltz apparently considers citing any evidence of success from Iraq a "political act" because Sgt. Aguina was soon subjected to a verbal attack from Soltz who threatened to have him punished by the military.

"For the sergeant I want to see you outside, I want the name of your commander, your first sergeant, you never ever use my uniform again in the name of political purposes."

As Soltz bolted from the stage, the Pajamas Media cameras were still rolling and asked Soltz why he was so worked up.

"Well look, you don't use the military uniform to talk politics…. I don’t appreciate people using military uniforms in politics," Soltz said.

Huh?

This photo appears on HIS, Soltz, POLITICAL website Votevets.org At least it does as we speak. Soltz threaten to have U.S. Army Sgt. David Aguina Court Marshaled for engaging in politic while in uniform. Soltz is nothing more than a hypocritical Idiot.

Then you have this, Reuters -Edwards attacks Giuliani over Sept 11 comment By Steve HollandFri Aug 10, 5:01 PM ET

Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani came under attack on Friday from Democratic rival John Edwards for saying he spent as much time if not more at the site of New York's destroyed World Trade Center than rescue workers.

The clash highlighted the continued importance of the September 11 attacks to U.S. presidential politics as Giuliani tries to use his record as former New York City mayor to help him get into the White House.

The group 9-11 Families, which represents some of those rescue workers, demanded an apology, saying, "Rudy Giuliani has insulted all September 11 first responders, family groups and especially those of us who are battling life-threatening illnesses with his delusional statement."

In a visit to Cincinnati on Thursday, Giuliani told reporters that no one did more for firefighters killed in the attacks and their families than he did and that he raised millions on their behalf.

He did.

"Every single penny of the $227 million went to the families," Giuliani said. "This is not a mayor or governor or president who was sitting in an ivory tower."

"I was at Ground Zero as often, if not more, than most of the workers," he said.

He was.

The Edwards campaign issued a statement from its national chairman, former Michigan Democratic Rep. David Bonior, who said, "Evidently, Rudy Giuliani has taken a break from reality."

"It is outrageous for Giuliani to suggest, in any way, shape or form that he did more at Ground Zero or spent more time there than the brave first responders who worked tirelessly around the clock for many months during the rescue and recovery operation," Bonior said.

Wrong! It is true. How many times did Edwards tour the 9-11 site? How many hours did he spend helping out there?

Rudy clarified his remarks this way.

"What I was trying to say yesterday is that I empathize with them because I feel like I have that same risk," Giuliani said.

He does, he was there. Anyone there faces the same risks. That is just fact.

He said he was not suggesting he was competing with the rescuers, while admitting it came across that way.

"Gosh almighty, I was there often enough, even though they were there, people there more and people there less, but I was there often enough so that every health consequence that people have suffered, I could also be suffering," he said.

Giuliani's communications director, Katie Levinson, lashed out at the Edwards camp for its attack.

"For John Edwards to lecture Rudy Giuliani about September 11 is laughable at best. This is, after all, the same guy who thinks the 'war on terror' is simply a bumper sticker," she said.

Excellent point. Then this. AP-ABA criticizes Bush terror policies By MARK SHERMAN, Associated Press WriterFri Aug 10, 4:51 PM ET

President Bush's recent order on CIA interrogations of terror suspects should be overturned because it still allows harsh treatment in violation of international treaties, two American Bar Association committees say.

The CIA should follow the same rigorous standards adopted by the military that are intended, in part, to ensure that captured U.S. soldiers are extended the same protections, according to a resolution the ABA is expected to adopt next week at its annual meeting here.

"The CIA should not be exempted from rules that guide even our armed forces," ABA president Karen Mathis said Friday.

The executive order that Bush issued July 20 bans torture, cruel and inhumane treatment, sexual abuse, acts intended to denigrate a religion or other degradation "beyond the bounds of human decency." It pledges that detainees will receive adequate food, water and medical care and be protected from extreme heat and cold.

But it leaves undefined what methods are acceptable. National Intelligence Director Mike McConnell has said revealing what techniques are allowed would help people who might be subjected to them. He said he would not want a U.S. citizen to go through the process, but he added that it was not torture.

So I guess they want to give the enemy a play book? “OK, if you get caught, this is what they will do, so start training yourselves now for it?”

They want to have the CIA, and the Bush Administration broadcast every detail of everything, so THEY can decide what’s right and what is not “acceptable.” Stating the oblivious here, there is ONE Commander and Chief. It’s not Congress, and most definitely not the ABA.

So what about that? What about all these gestapo tactics and torture by the hands of our brave men and women in those evil needing to be closed prisons? Get THIS! According to CNN -High court denies prisoner's efforts to stay at Guantanamo

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The Supreme Court refused to block the pending transfer of an accused terrorist held by the U.S. military, despite his fears of being tortured if he is sent back to his home country of Algeria.

Ahmed Belbacha has been incarcerated at the U.S. military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, for five years. He has tried to keep himself detained because he said he fears being tortured by the Algerian government if he goes home.

{Laughing} I’m not making this up. Here it is, by CNN, in black and white. This guy has been in Guantanamo for FIVE years. He is fighting to STAY there because he fears being tortured. Not trying to get out.

The justices, in a one-sentence order, denied his emergency request for a stay to any pending release.

Six other Algerians also face release from the Guantanamo prison The U.S. military has been under pressure to speed the process of evaluating the approximately 360 detainees and freeing those who are not considered dangerous.

By whom? Who is applying the pressure? Yup, the LWL.

The Pentagon has said about 80 Guantanamo men are eligible for freedom and has been negotiating with their home countries to accept them. Pentagon and State Department officials have said they would not repatriate any prisoner to countries where they would "likely" be tortured.

I could keep this up all day. These people live in a world that is completely opposite of reality. They continue to say that they are doing what the American people voted for them to do. Interesting that they ignore the 3 percent approval rating. Yes, there is the “reality” of the Looney Left. Then, there is the truth.

I’m out of time right now. Trust me though, I’ll make up for missing yesterday. I have a lot more to talk about, along with more information on the conversation I am having about Joshua’s “Flat head Syndrome.”

Be back soon.
Peter
