The American Left: Where'd We Be Without You?

Hey, Liberals, Progressives, and Democrats:

Remember, after George W. Bush attacked Iraq, how you said the "Axis of Evil" was bogus - and the possibility that Bush might attack Iran was the worst thing in the world - proof that American neo-conservatism was a destructive warmongering ideology that had to be stopped at all costs?

We do!



And hey, Liberals, Progressives, and Democrats:

Remember, when John McCain was running against Barack Obama, and he started a chant of "Bomb, Bomb, Bomb - Bomb, Bomb, Iran", which you took as proof he was too dangerously unhinged to be president? Even though he was riffing on a question from an American citizen who had stated that we already knew, way back then, how dangerous Iran was?

We do!

So here we are in 2010, and you've got your Liberally Progressive Democratic president.

Ultra-Liberal even.

And he's promised to work with Iran "without conditions", while President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (AKA the man now known as "Hitler") has been quietly building a nuclear arsenal, which now - according to the illegally obtained Liberally Progressive Wikileaks cache - has everybody and his Middle Eastern brother not only scared to death, but begging the United States to finally do the one thing you've stood in the way of for years:

Bombing Iran.

Yes, we remember it all.

And it hasn't changed our minds one bit that Liberally Progressive Democrats are the shrewdest bunch of political operators the world has ever seen.

"This is a real cult."

-- Joe Gelman, who really should alert me when he writes this kind of stuff, on the Neocon Express.

Big Joe adds:

I have a feeling now that the election is over, all kinds of interesting things will slowly see the light of day."

To which I'll add that everyone should check out that last link, and then, if you're hurting financially, a large investment NOW - in enough tar and feathers for the entire NewAge Movement - should set things to right real soon.

Your Chestnuts Are Roasting On An Open Fire

"Of course, the 'global warming' crowd will tell us that this is a sign of GW; if it's hot, it's GW, if it's cold, it's GW, if it's normal... it's GW. I say if it's GW, it's a mental disorder."

-- Joe Gelman, proving he really knows The Cult of Global Warming, which he doesn't allow to ride on the Neocon Express.**

**TMR, meanwhile, is welcome on the dining car,...it's a neoconservative black and Jewish thing:

NewAgers wouldn't understand.

Predicting The Unpredictably Predictable (Yea!)

"Back on Saturday, August 23rd, I predicted that Time Magazine will choose Obama as their 'Man of the Year'. Yeah that was a tough one. You see, I know how liberals think and what liberals are going to do before they do. That's how predictable they are."

-- Joe Gelman, proving he really knows the liberal mind, which is why he's the conductor of the Neocon Express.

TMR votes for the "Vampire Obama",...

Taking A Ride On The Neocon Express

"If you applied for a low or mid-level government job that required a mid-level security clearance, and in your background they found associations with terrorist William Ayres who bombed the Pentagon, with convicted felon Tony Rezko, the racist Reverend Wright and Louis Farrakhan... significant past drug use and a dual US-Kenyan citizenship... simply put, you would not be given that security clearance and you would not get the job.

On the other hand, there would be no problem for you to become President of the United States and be the boss of all of those folks with security clearances. Welcome to 'Theatre of the absurd'; welcome to the United States 2008."


-- Joe Gelman, a great American who proves it daily, as the conductor of the Neocon Express. All of the following was taken from his wonderful, and totally addicting, pro-American neoconservative site:

Liberal Scientists Are Just Covert NewAge Idiots Determined To Destroy Their Own Credibility

"Did you know that "Western medicine" is like the U.S. financial system right now? Mike Adams tells us so,..."

-- Orac, who used to believe in some woo, but now has a problem with this quack's analogy, thinking it's worthy of Respectful Insolence.

"I saw a couple of recent ScienceBlogs posts that got me thinking. The first was Orac's post on the germ-theory-denialism of Robert O. Young,...and the second was on Gene Expression about a study showing conservatives have more fear,...It got me thinking about the alt-health mindset, and why to me it seems similar to the neocon mindset,..."

-- The Perky Skeptic, a former "mystic, devoutly religious Wiccan priestess, alt-med, tarot-card-reading person" who "lived with a constant background radiation of fear", projecting her world-view on others, while making an equally stupid analogy - that Orac not only approves of but suggested others read - as part of The Skeptic's Circle.

Surprize: Democrats Won The Iraq War

"[Hillary Clinton's mentor, Daniel Patrick Moynihan] and [Reagan Democrat Jeane J. Kirkpatrick, above, a woman any man could vote for] made decisive contributions to the forging of the sensibility that came to be known as neoconservatism. That sensibility evinces a fierce pride in American constitutional government. It insists that government policy should be judged not by the hopes of advocates and intentions of decision makers, but by real world consequences. It holds that freedom and democracy depend on qualities of mind and character that do not arise automatically, but must be cultivated by the family and civil society. It recognizes that government, while often part of the problem, can also be part of the solution by finding ways to strengthen both family and civil society. And it knows that America advances its interests by maintaining and expanding an international order that, to the extent possible, is composed of states that respect individual rights and are based on the consent of the governed.

The neoconservative sensibility, in short, is a powerful blend of ideas that have their roots in the larger liberal tradition, particularly the conservative side developed by Madison, Hamilton, Burke and Tocqueville."

"Thank God, we destroyed the cells of Al-Qaeda. They have been chased out of Baghdad and this has opened the way for their defeat throughout Iraq."
