Brain Fertilizer

Vamping on the theme of the previous post:
You've all heard stories about a person who is dying...maybe he has an obstruction, or maybe she drowned and isn't breathing, or something else. A bystander comes up and starts an inexperienced or partially-understood attempt at CPR. A few mistakes are made, maybe some cracked ribs or other minor damage...but the person is alive to complain about it. So they immediately find a trial lawyer and sue the pants off the person who saved their life. Because, you know, when something bad happens, it must be someone else's fault, and if you can set yourself up for life, why not?

Looking at the Democrat reaction to President Bush being re-elected reminds me of that scenario exactly. Liberals tend to live in cities*, and so it was a liberal enclave that bore the brunt of 9/11. Remember that at that time, no one took the idea of an attack seriously. But while Kerry strongly promised a strong reaction to strongly demonstrate his strength if we were ever attacked, it was President Bush who acknowledged that we have already been attacked, and even though the Islamic Terrorists wanted nothing more than to hit us again, the fact that they haven't been able to is directly attributable to President Bush's decisions and actions. Just like liberals in New York bore the brunt of the 9/11 attacks, liberals in all our major population centers received the disproportionate benefit of President Bush's excellent leadership. Despite their dogged and stubborn refusal to recognize or thank him for it.

Luckily, 60 million people, a majority of the voters, decided not to award the liberal whiners with a windfall for compaining. Thank goodness our future safety was not left in the hands of liberal judges who care more about keeping power in Democrat/liberal hands than in keeping people safe and winning the war on terror. Thank goodness a majority of voters did not elect the man who would outsource or safety to France and the UN.

*Yeah, I know I still owe you a post on that. Monday, maybe...
