What's that old adage?
You know that old adage about not being able to please all of the people all of the time? I want to put forth a new corollary.
You can't please a Liberal anytime.
Seriously! It turns out the British media is mocking the Inaugural Address. (Via Drudge)
"BUSH: HAVE I GOT NUKES FOR YOU, George Bush pledged all-out global war on terrorists and tyrants," headlines the STAR.
That is a lie. I've read the text. He said nothing of the sort!
I am agog. You would think that something as pie-in-the-sky as the address would please all of those liberal nutjobs. Freedom for all mankind. An end to tyranny and oppression. But nooooo. Bush=Hitler, therefore Freedom=Evil and Tyranny + Oppression= Happy Good Time.
I swear, these people are morally bankrupt. Do you hear me? They have no credibility left. They castigate the USA for having too much power, too much military might, an aggressive foreign policy, an no sense of history. And then, when the President finally gives a speech that highlights the common goals of all mankind, fully recognizing that we can not force people into the same forms of government we choose for ourselves, but merely help them to shed the chains of oppression -- still they scoff. You would think we could all get behind liberty. Liberty and justice for all. But nooooo. Apparently these are offensive concepts to the Left.
You would think they could get behind us using our power for good instead of evil. For criminey's sake, this merely proves that they are intent on being against us. Bush clearly stated that this goal would not necessarily be reached with military might. Next they ridicule us for the pomp and circumstance of the whole thing.
Pot, meet Kettle. Kettle, this is Pot. For heaven's sake, they have a fargin Royal Family! When Charlie rides to hounds it is a fargin' national moment! It is hypocrisy, pure and simple. We are damned if we do anything, damned if we do nothing.
You can't please a Liberal anytime. Ever. And don't even bother trying to please more than one Liberal, unless it involves multiple sexual favors.
On the Madison morning news this morning, some local nut proclaimed he was disappointed with the President's speech because he didn't hear what he had wanted to hear. Namely, he expected the President to announce his resignation. At the Inauguration? He really is an idiot.
Having elected a President, isn't it the rational thing to do to simply move on and get with the program? I mean, it isn't like a bloody coup took place! These idiots make me feel so old, so weary, and very alone in my dinghy, the USS Optimistic, adrift on the Sea of Pessimistic Liberal Whining, Belly-Aching, and Bile.
But, it turns out, you can't please a Liberal anytime.
These people are really starting to piss me off.
