I think that George W. Bush is a bad president. His tyrannical modus operandi is akin to the likes of Franklin Roosevelt (who cursed the US with socialism--AKA his "New Deal") and Abraham Lincoln (the empire-builder who would have rather seen the deaths of 3/4 of a million people than cede the implementation of high tariffs, a centralized national bank, and a powerful national government). It pains me greatly to admit that Bill Clinton's record as President (BJ's in the Oval Office and lying to grand juries and all) was better.
However, if anyone of my readers thinks for a moment that Al Gore would have been a better alternative in 2000, then I must disagree. I believe that George W. Bush really thinks that he is doing the right thing (through the advisers who have hoodwinked him into their quasi-fascist agenda). George W. Bush is not the idiot that SNL portrays, but he isn't up to the task. He follows blindly the advice of too many whom he inexplicably respects.
Al Gore, on the other hand, knows full well that he is nothing more than a demagogue, one willing to sacrifice the common good for his personal good. How else can you explain how he consumes in one month--at only one of his estates--the energy that the average American consumes in a year? He's a liar and a thief (seriously, look at his agenda and you'll see). He drives in green-cars provided not by his means but by sponsors, and occasionally uses "green" energy via equipment paid by a UK company (check it out). He has never once bared the cost-burden of his so-called beliefs. He's a wolf in sheep's clothing, and everyone knows that such an animal is meant to beware.
Hillary Clinton is no better. That she is no worse only tells you how bad the both of them are. She is a Marxist of the Orwellian breed, wanting of no more than her limitless ego will demand.
The Republicans offer Rudi Giuliani and John McCain. One is but a mayor whose greatest distinction is presiding over the locale of the worst attack on American soil since Pearl Harbor (12-07-1941). The other is a flip-flopping, "What's the wind's direction?" moderate who, when the argument turns against him, reminds everyone that he was a POW in 'Nam.
Essentially, the two major parties in American politics are defunct. They are run by machines that care little for the "common good" of which the Constitution speaks. It's time to give the fascists and the socialists the boot. It's time to vote for freedom, that any man or woman can do as he or she pleases provided that it does not deprive others of life, liberty, or their pursuit of happiness.

That was a nice little Ad Hominem attack on old Rudolf. With the other 3 persons you at least had critics of their political behavior, but apparently being a "mayor" seemingly without "distinction" makes him an unqualified candidate for president. Are you accusing him of exploiting the fact that he was the Mayor of New York City in 2001? I happen to believe that the less qualified people believe one to be politically, the less corrupt one is likely to be...e.g. lifelong politicians such as good ol' Teddy Kennedy.
ReplyDeleteSo I suppose my question to you is "What's your point, other than insulting the man for only having been mayor of NYC previously? John McCain's a "flip flopper," Clinton is a Marxist elite, and you didn't even mention the black candidate, Obama - or are you just going to insult him and call him a crack head? You can do better...
The man who taught you how fallacious are ad hominem attacks is truly a wise sage.
ReplyDeleteIf I had actually composed what (I thought) was a persuasive piece, then I would have avoided such an attack. As it was, I was just venting.
There is, really, nothing special about Rudi. Perhaps I expressed this more negatively than I needed too. However, perhaps that is required, given the average Joe-Blow's (e.g. one of the tens of thousands who choose UM over Hillsdale)inability to see reason (there's another oblique ad hominem, for you).
Still, you are right. I offered no real evidence against Rudi. That I have a lack of really good things to say about him is not a defense. Touche, mon ami.
Also, I ignored Obama because that's what we all should do. He's a fake in all ways.
But the real question is...how do you feel about Richardson?
ReplyDeleteAnd, from what I've heard, Hillsdale just isn't what it used to be...apparently it's now full of Bible-beaters who use God to justify their bigotry. Drinking, while it happens, is frowned upon. The dorms aren't co-ed, and the opposite sex is only allowed in during visitation. Jenny did speak highly of the education, but there are more factors people look for in a school.
I also love how you compare Bush to FDR and Lincoln; it always surprises me how many people revere the New Deal (even if you're a socialist, you have to admit it wasn't a success) and Lincoln's Emancipation Proclaimation. I thought revisionist history was taking care of that. My professors here, at my painfully liberal East Coast college, are obsessed with it.
Here's just a random question: Who in American History do you admire?
