Gnashing Of Teeth In Liberal Hell

December 16, 2005 by GayPatriot

I’m pretty confident that the liberal demons will need some ice water today in their self-created hell. Why, you ask?

Three reasons at least….

1 – President Bush’s approval numbers are up significantly in two separate polls this week.

2 – The Iraqi elections were an outstanding success. (Elections that would not have happened under a President Kerry)

So many Sunni Arabs voted that ballots ran out in some places. The strong participation by Sunnis, the backbone of the insurgency, bolstered U.S. hopes that the election could produce a broad-based government capable of ending the daily suicide attacks and other violence that have ravaged the country since the fall of Saddam Hussein.

3 – Someone in the House GOP has been listening to me ranting at home since November 18th! I’ve been saying… “put the Murtha withdrawal resolution up for a vote in the US House every month!”

(From Thursday evening at The Corner @ NRO) — (AP) WASHINGTON – House Republican leaders drafted legislation on Thursday that rejects calls for withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq as “fundamentally inconsistent with achieving victory” and said they would force a vote on Friday.

It would be the second time in five weeks that GOP leaders maneuvered for a vote on the war in the face of Democratic calls for a timetable for withdrawal.

The resolution expresses the commitment of the House “to achieving victory in Iraq.”

Oh what a beautiful morning……

    Top 10 Moonbat Reactions to Iraqi Election. From the primary nesting site of the Lesser American Howling Moonbat, Daily Kos. This one is typical:

    ” These elections are nothing more than a prop for the bush thugs. No election that was initiated, designed, engineered, and carried out by a foreign occupation power has any legitimacy, here or elsewhere. None. Period.”

    Right, as opposed to those “legitimate” elections in Iran, Cuba, and pre-Liberation Iraq.

    Good post Bruce! VdaK had it right the other day when he wrote that the Iraq parlimentary elections are ANOTHER election the Democrats are going to lose –or lost.

    I’m still awaiting the nibbling little comments from the LibLeftLeadership about alleged voter fraud, disenfranchisement of millions, any delay in an immediate 100% correct count, or any difficulites in arranging the executive govt. But hey, maybe the LibLeftLeadership are taking holiday timeouts to huddle with CindyZeroSheehan and the Progressive Democrats of America http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/?q=node/4637 to come up with the next anti-progress spin in WOT.

    Good post Bruce. Thanks for pointing it out.

    Tammy Bruce links to MoveOn.org today, for some reason.

    Went and checked them out. Their lead article is “Deadline: Put a new Iraq Ad on TV. Help us raise $250,000…a majority of Iraqis, like a majority of Americans, want U.S. troops to leave Iraq…”

    They just don’t get it, do they? Of course Iraqis want us to leave Iraq. And of course we (Americans) want to leave Iraq, dimwits!!! It’s what the troops have been working toward for 2 and 1/2 years!!!

    But hey, if MoveOn.org wants to blow money on a TV ad pointing out the obvious, like “the sun is shining” – let ’em. It will join their long, long series of notoriously pointless, ineffective ads.

    #2 — My prediction is that the next tactic of the left will be to whine and kvetch that because we “rushed” the Iraqi constitution and “rushed” the Iraqi elections, that we’ve forced them into a flawed democracy.

    Never mind that the left have been the ones screaming for withdrawal, and screaming for a faster pace this entire time.

    God I’m pissed. Looked at MSN’s homepage today. The day after the momentous Iraqi vote, the only follow up featured is a negative piece featuring the ever optimistic Juan Cole. Man, I’m so going to write an angry post today.

    To me, the irony is, that with the filibuster of the Patriot Act and the adoption of McCain’s Al Qaeda Bill of Rights, we’re about to lose the war at home that we’re winning in Iraq.

    SARCAZM -> Yea! Im so glad Bush’s numbers are up again! What a great time to be a Gay person in the USA….more Ammendments blocking my rights, more laws blocking rights for gay families & benefits! Ahh can’t wait for the Constitution to be ammended so we gays can never marry or feel like full fledged citizens of the USA! YIPPIE! This is the president I’ve been waiting for all my life! Yea!!!!

    Gee, JRC, I’m so sorry you find it impossible to live a happy, fulfilling life without a permission slip from the government telling you it’s okay for you to have a relationship with a same-sex partner. I guess bureaucratic recognition of your living situation is much more important than establishing democracy in the Arab world and reducing the danger of terrorism.

    Exactly as I predicted, First post-election troop withdrawal announced

    The number of U.S. troops in Iraq, boosted to provide additional security for Thursday’s election, should fall back to a pre-election “baseline” level by the end of January or early February, the top general in Iraq said on Friday.

    V the K – you are so brainwashed if you think Bush gives a shit about the rights for you or any other gay person in America. Like all Americans we hope that ALL the soldiers are safe and come home in One peice- but it has NOTHING to do with me personally…tho my tax dollars are paying for this fiasco, while fellow Americans are STILL without homes, or living in cars, or freezing to death, homeless katrina victims, over 40 million without health care. Sure lets give a Gazillion dollars for other countrys while America’s infrustructure falls to peices….lets cut programs for the poor…but make sure the REPUBS pass that 70Billion tx break for the 1% of weathiest aka Bushs friends ( the Haves and Have mores) his words!

    Do you remember the first Iraqi election? Just prior to that there were so many gloomy predictions. Then after the tremendous success of that first election–there was a pause—and then the Left/Lib world all began talking about “What is Bush was right?” Do a google search on that title and you will get hits at Daily Kos, Huffingtonpost, even moveon.org. The Left/Lib really did a honest double take on that day.

    Today, after the second record turnout of Iraqis eager for self-government and gloriously optomistic about having a stake in democracy, today that question has been answered by the Left/Libs. If Bush is right, then they are doomed like the Whig party. Their only response at this moment is to desperately attack anything and anyone attached to Bush.

    I almost understand the feeings of those poor Bathist Party members out in some deserted shack listening to the election results and knowing that they have no future, they can’t even walk the streets of town because they know how hated they are, and how hopeless it is for them to ever regain power. They will decrease and go into the west–bandits, alone, dead to the world.

    #12 So if Bush doesn’t care, who does? Hey, I’m not going to say that the rights of gay people are on the top of his list of priorities but the “Bush hates gays” thing is just about as realistic as the “Bush hates Blacks” thing related to Katrina. The only real difference I can see is that Reps tend to avoid the crocodile tears that the Dems wallow in. It doesn’t have to be gay rights, it could be anything. Is it really that much better when the pols let you know they “feel your pain” if they don’t follow it with actions? (And ones that actually, really, practically *help*?)

    Seriously, what have the Dems done for you lately?

  15. V the K says

    December 16, 2005 at 6:50 pm - December 16, 2005

    I don’t give a damn how Bush feels about my rights. My personal happiness is not tied to George W. Bush or any other politician.

    “Seriously, what have the Dems done for you lately?” – Synova

    You hit it on the head Synova. Democrat politics has become a kind of group therapy for liberal gays trying to satisfy some deep-seated insecurity. I always find it ironic that I’m considered self-hating for being conservative. Meanwhile, I don’t throw a tantrum and my self esteem doesn’t crash to pieces because some religious zealots say my “lifestyle” is wrong.

    Only 59 of 209 House Democrats could support the following resolution. And they wonder why the American people don’t trust them on national security. I ask our friends on the Left. Do you oppose all 8 points or less? If less which and why?

    RESOLUTION
    Expressing the commitment of the House of Representatives to achieving victory in Iraq.

    Whereas the Iraqi election of December 15, 2005, the first to take place under the newly ratified Iraqi Constitution, represented a crucial success in the establishment of a democratic, constitutional order in Iraq; and

    Whereas Iraqis, who by the millions defied terrorist threats to vote, were protected by Iraqi security forces with the help of United States and Coalition forces: Now, therefore, be it

    Resolved, That–

    (1) the House of Representatives is committed to achieving victory in Iraq;

    (2) the Iraqi election of December 15, 2005, was a crucial victory for the Iraqi people and Iraq’s new democracy, and a defeat for the terrorists who seek to destroy that democracy;

    (3) the House of Representatives encourages all Americans to express solidarity with the Iraqi people as they take another step toward their goal of a free, open, and democratic society;

    (4) the successful Iraqi election of December 15, 2005, required the presence of United States Armed Forces, United States-trained Iraqi forces, and Coalition forces;

    (5) the continued presence of United States Armed Forces in Iraq will be required only until Iraqi forces can stand up so our forces can stand down, and no longer than is required for that purpose;

    (6) setting an artificial timetable for the withdrawal of United States Armed Forces from Iraq, or immediately terminating their deployment in Iraq and redeploying them elsewhere in the region, is fundamentally inconsistent with achieving victory in Iraq;

    (7) the House of Representatives recognizes and honors the tremendous sacrifices made by the members of the United States Armed Forces and their families, along with the members of Iraqi and Coalition forces; and

    (8) the House of Representatives has unshakable confidence that, with the support of the American people and the Congress, United States Armed Forces, along with Iraqi and Coalition forces, shall achieve victory in Iraq.

    #17, #19 — But, of course they support the troops.

    Perhaps you can share a list of your personal rights that have been blocked?

    #12
    while fellow Americans are STILL without homes, or living in cars, or freezing to death, homeless katrina victims, over 40 million without health care.

    Didn’t prevent 18 soldiers being killed in the Mog did it? Didn’t stop the bombing of your lord BJ’s buddy in the Balkans. Didn’t stop the invasion of Haiti to put Aristide back into power. Didn’t stop going to Kosovo did it? Nor did any of that stop the invasion of Waco.

    Any one else notice that latest resolution listed by # 17 didn’t get any news play at all? Hmmmm. Wonder why. If it didn’t get reported then I guess it didn’t happen. Have a nice day.

    #12 — I always hear democrats whine about people being homeless or without health insurance, but I have yet to see Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi, or Michael Moore dip into their vast personal fortunes to do anything about it.

  25. Calarato says

    December 17, 2005 at 12:34 pm - December 17, 2005

    And the whiners whine with no clue about (or in total denial of) the fact that it is GOVERNMENT welfare-state and regulatory policies which have made health care so hugely more expensive than it used to be.
