AMAZING "IRONIES" LIBERAL LEFTIST DEMOCRATS
WOULD HAVE US BELIEVE
By Christopher G. Adamo
THE LIES & DISTORTIONS CURRENTLY BEING DISSEMINATED BY LEFTWING LIBERAL DEMOCRATS -- PART OF A LONG LIST OF
OUTLANDISH ASSERTIONS MADE BY THE POLITICAL LEFT IN ITS EFFORT TO FOOL ENOUGH OF THE AMERICAN ELECTORATE,
ENOUGH OF THE TIME, TO WIN THE 2004 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION FOR JOHN KERRY &, HOPEFULLY, REGAIN THE POLITICAL
POWER THE LEFT HAD WHEN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY DOMINATED ALL THREE BRANCHES OF THE UNITED STATES NATIONAL
GOVERNMENT
FULL STORY:
Under the tyrannical rule of the Taliban, Afghanistan was a cauldron of Islamic hatred for Western civilization, and thus a fitting
home base for al-Qa'ida. A single nation separates Afghanistan from Iraq, which, under the dictatorship of Saddam Hussein and
his Baath Party, was a cauldron of Islamic hatred for Western civilization. And the only nation separating the two is Iran, ruled by
a despotic government that, not surprisingly, is a cauldron of Islamic hatred for Western civilization, a regime that reviles America
and advocates its destruction.
So, it stands to reason that any collaborative efforts between al-Qa'ida and Saddam Hussein could only have occurred in the Czech
Republic. Preposterous as this statement clearly is, it was the basis for the American political Left to denigrate every attempt by the
Bush White House to include Iraq in the “axis of evil” in the days following the attacks of 9-11.
According to Liberal Democrats, a reputed meeting between Mohammad Atta and a high-ranking Iraqi official in Prague, some
months before 9-11, could not be conclusively proven, and therefore, no possible link between the two evil entities could have
existed. Moreover, this is the story to which the Liberal Leftist Democrats tenaciously clung right up until the 9-11 Commission
released its findings.
According to the Commission (hardly a convention of partisan Republicans), links between al-Qa'ida and the dictatorial
government of Saddam Hussein clearly existed (a fact that should surprise no one). Yet, no concrete evidence of cooperation in
the planning and perpetration of the September 11 attacks has been established. So once again, the Leftwing Liberal Democrats
ask us to believe the unbelievable, namely that these two virulently anti-American entities, while regularly engaging in murder
and mayhem throughout the world, freely discussed everything on their minds except 9-11.
Such absurd reasoning from the Left is really nothing new. In fact, these incidents are only part of a long list of outlandish
assertions, assertions by which they seek to fool enough of the electorate, enough of the time, to regain the power they had
when they controlled all three branches of the United States national government. Consider some other examples of socalled
"ironies" Leftists would have us believe (keeping in mind that this list is, by no means, complete).
Who can forget the incredible “ironies” surrounding the former First Lady, Hillary Clinton, who, having no prior knowledge of
the intricacies of dealing in cattle futures, nonetheless performed an unprecedented feat of multiplying her investment
one-hundredfold in only a year, before completely divesting herself from any other futures activity? Yet, despite such incredible
astuteness and discernment, she was the only person on the continent who ostensibly remained unaware and unsuspecting of
Bill’s dalliances in the Oval Office with Monica.
In November of 1995, Al Gore was involved in a fundraising meeting that, being held in the White House, was plainly illegal.
Gore’s excuse? He had been drinking large quantities of iced tea, and, though his presence at that gathering was undeniably
established, he was “coincidentally” absent during any illegal discussions, having succumbed to the need to visit the restroom
only during those segments of the event.
Recently, this phenomenon has breached the walls of the Democrat political machine and infected the major media (assuming
any such boundary ever divided the two). Over at CBS, “60 Minutes” producer Mary Mapes is embroiled in an eerily similar
controversy. While spearheading the segment involving those fraudulent memos that ostensibly cast aspersions on George W.
Bush’s Air National Guard service, she is on record as having been in communication with Kerry campaign insider Joe Lockhart,
directing him to contact Bush-hater Bill Burkett.
Lockhart admits to calling Burkett, but, throughout the course of their discussions, they somehow never got around to the Air
National Guard scandal. Why are we not surprised?
Proving his allegiance to this legacy, John Kerry defends his presence at a 1971 meeting in Kansas City of the radical “Vietnam
Veterans Against the War,” in which the assassination of prominent pro-war United States Senators was discussed. According
to Kerry (at least in the second revision of his story), though in attendance, he was coincidentally out of the room when the
subject of assassinations was debated.
Perhaps, the cruelest “irony” of all involves the fact that Kerry, who was able to accrue a chest full of medals during a mere four
months in Vietnam, somehow took more than three decades to receive an honorable discharge from the Navy. Such a
heartrending paradox and disservice to the honored Senator certainly warrants an explanation. And Kerry himself could furnish
that explanation by simply authorizing the release of his military records, which he steadfastly refuses to do. How ironic.
