Sensitivity

Wednesday April 25, 2007

First Lady Laura Bush, on the Today show this morning, was asked about the war and its effect. She answered: “Believe me, no one suffers more than their president and I do when we watch this.”

Really? No one? No one at all? Can't think of a single person? OK then.

It's the "nobody suffers more than" that galls, especially because they don't have family members in the field under fire. If this was a debating club, you'd win marks. But we're talking about the sucess and honor of our country in a long war. We don't need your carping.

Well, you don't have to read it, but honestly, is it the case that criticizing the First Lady is unpatriotic? How about the president? Really?

I had no idea that Austin, Texas was a haven for Clinton fans. They love the man here, I still see Clinton/Gore stickers on cars from time to time. You are right Rod, we do have great food and great beer! I really do like Austin once you get away from the nuttiness of 6th street and see past all the liberal activist groups swarming this city. Travis county is a blue county in a red sate, and the liberals here are so dang desperate to take the white house that if children were allowed to vote in the next election you would start seeing media targeting them by saying that Bush and the Republicans are responsible for the death of puppies and kittens.

Dreher is a full-on sufferer from Bush Derangement Syndrome. Its evident when he takes posts that have nothing to do with Iraq or Bush and goes in that direction anyway. Its evident when he gets foaming at the mouth angry because of a stray comment by a politician's wife. The simple fact is that Dreher has shown far more empathy and charity towards that murderer Cho than he has to Laura Bush. Sickening.

There are many who have been affected by that syndrome of deranged Bush. Rod is not alone.
