CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS??

Illinois Democratic Senator Dick Durbin draws a comparison between American armed forces and Nazis, Stalin's murderers and Pol Pots butchers, and Democrats are silent.

Then along comes Mr. Karl Rove. He's the guy every Democrat loves to hate.

And, you must bear in mind here, in reading my commentary, that those Democrats probably hate Karl Rove more than any other living breathing human being. They believe Rove the man to be solely responsible for their electoral loss in 2000 and again in 2004. And, he may very well be, . . . Second, of course, to George W. Bush!

So Karl Rove speaks to the Conservative Party of New York about a website and an organization under the 527 Rule, which is called "MoveOn.org," and Ol' Karl has something to say about how liberals reacted to 9/11. Rove said "Conservatives saw the savagery of 9/11 in the attacks and prepared for war; liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers."

Oh my! Were the Democrats upset! (Remember that these are the folks who want you to believe that they all voted AGAINST the invasion in Iraq!)

The same cast of characters that had nothing to say about Durbin's remarks sure had a lot to say about Karl Rove. San Francisco's Nancy Pelosi, the House Minority Leader said that Republican charges that Democrats were undermining the war on terror with their criticism of administration policies amounted to an act of desperation.

Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid said that "Karl Rove should immediately and fully apologize for his remarks or he should resign, I hope the president will join me in repudiating these remarks.

"Hillary had to weigh in of course: "I would hope that you and other members of the administration would immediately repudiate such an insulting comment from a high-ranking official in the president's inner circle." Hillary has a lot of room to talk, doncha think?? (But then, even though she won't admit it, she DOES look to Senator Teddy Chappaquidic, for advice, from time to time)

Other Democrats called Rove's remarks "Vulgar and nauseating."Bear in mind ... these are the same Democrats who had nothing to say about Durbin's comparison of American men and women in uniform to Nazis. But let someone say that liberals lack the will to fight to fight terrorism .. and all hell breaks loose.

By the way .. .Rove had it about right. And he wasn't through with his slam on the left. He also had something to say about Dick Durbin. "Let me just put this in fairly simple terms: Al Jazeera now broadcasts the words of Senator Durbin to the Mideast, certainly putting our troops in greater danger. No more needs to be said about the motives of liberals."

Atta boy, Karl.Rove also denounced Sen. Dick Durbin's comments comparing interrogation at the Guantanamo Bay prison camp to the methods of Nazis and other repressive regimes. He said the statements have been broadcast throughout the Middle East, putting U.S. troops in greater danger.

The democrat from Illinois has since apologized for the remarks. (NOT! He simply extended his "heartfelt apologies" by saying: "Mr. President, I've come to understand that was a poor choice of words, . . . . Last Friday, I tried to make this very clear that I understood that those analogies - the Nazis, Soviets, and others - were poorly chosen. I issued a release, which I thought made my intentions and my innermost feelings as clear as I possibly could, . . ." Apparently, the Union Boys, back home, didn't LIKE it so much, and told Dickie's office they'd remember it, when re-election rolls around! Anyone who thought they saw an apology is acutely partisan, to the point of stupidity!)

The best part is that the whole thing can be summarized in Karl's words: "No more needs to be said about the motives of liberals," Rove said.

That was last week, . . . NOW we have the retirement and impending appointment of a Supreme Court Justice, after Sandra Day O'Connor announced her intention to retire, last Friday morning. One must wonder about the Senators called the "WildCat Fouteen," and how they'll respond to this new revelation. I can't wait for their response, if Bush calls out the name of a true constructionist, (which the moron, Arlen Spector, (R-PA), calls "codewords for Conservative."

Tell, me, PLEASE! When did we quit teaching that our government was comprised of three branches, and the concepts of that idea are surrounded by a "check-and-balance" system of government, and that the United States Constitution is made up of words from the English language, and that each of them has a meaning, and comprise certain ideas, principles, concepts, and law, and that the document isn't flexible, . . . unless and until it is modified through a certain statutory procedure. When did our high schools lose track of those issues?? Was it when we begain teaching sex ed?? I know that Driver's ed suffered because of the banana/condom issues, (blamed on time constraints, at the time, by educators nation wide), but did we also move the Civics classes to the opional lists, and then slowly phase them out, too??

God Bless,
