Liberals are asserting that since Barack Obama is president, conservatives now believe dissent is patriotic. Not exactly, dissent is not necessarily patriotic nor is it unpatriotic. When Bush was president, liberals argued all their dissent was patriotic. Actually, it was mostly just nitpicky policy differences. Bush wasn’t taxing the rich, imposing draconian “enviro-anal” regulations or growing government enough for their liking.But one liberal dissent that wasn’t patriotic was their opposition to the Iraq War after it started. Their cutesy phrase “We support the troops, but not their mission” never quite cut the mustard. Then, claiming that the Iraq war was un-winnable is even more laughable now since the US has indeed won.
There used to be a distinctly American policy that was, “Politics ends at the water’s edge.” While entry into a war can be hotly debated, once troops’ boots hit foreign soot, all the “why were fighting there” arguments should essentially end. Still, politicians and pundits can debate the best way to win. Well, liberals have practically blown that out of the water.
Now, let’s say Obama decided that tiny Tahiti was a threat to national security and should be invaded. Many conservatives would rightly argue that’s a stupid idea and a complete waste of the military. Conversely, “anti-war” liberals would be all for bombing the Tahitians because in their eyes Obama can do no wrong. Remember their protests when Clinton bombed Bosnians, not!
As absurd as a Tahiti invasion might seem, Obama could actually do it. His foreign policy, started during his campaign, is to anger our allies while kowtowing to our enemies. While rebuffing Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu such that he cancels his scheduled US trip, Obama instead listens stoically to third world teapot despots making anti-US diatribes never once defending the nation he supposedly leading. Thanks “O Capitulator in-chief.”
Anyway, once war began, many conservatives would support winning as quickly as possible and with minimal loss of life. Yes, criticism would continue especially if the war became prolonged, or the tactics seemed questionable. For example, if the war lasted more than a day, it probably wasn’t a good idea to invade with just an army of one, Homeland Security Secretary, “Janbo” Napolitano.
Imagine for a moment her storming the beach wearing only camo, bullets strings crisscrossing her chest and mangled damp crested hair. Not pretty though her “do” isn’t much different dry, but the belief that Tahitians would be so fearful that Godzilla had somehow re-emerged from the deep and desert their island in droves would be a highly optimistic strategy at best.
The only positive in this invasion tour de farce would be that it keeps Janbo out of Washington, and such limit the damage she’s doing to homeland security. As if illegals didn’t have enough incentive to violate immigration laws, she recently declared that illegally crossing the border is not a criminal but instead a civil offense. All real Americans should take offense at her statement except maybe Obama because his citizenship has never actually been substantiated.
With Swine Flu raging in Mexico, Janbo decided that a strong border wasn’t needed to stop it. After all America needs an illegal flu to do the job of sickening that domestic diseases simply won’t do.
And when Janbo’s not angering returning vets with false accusations of being a threat to the nation they just risked their lives defending, she’s perturbing the Canadians by claiming that the border that’s needs securing is theirs because that’s where the 9/11 hijackers crossed.
In fact, none came from Canada. Instead they entered via Visa Express, which was a Clinton program that allowed Saudis to come here by filling out a simple form requiring no background checks whatsoever. Janbo would probably enthusiastically support a similar plan today even after 9/11. Since we’re not fighting terrorists anymore, instead during her confirmation hearings she called them, “Manmade disaster causers.”
Then, Janbo compounded her PMS, “Public Misstatement Syndrome,” by saying, “There are very real differences between what Canada allows in their country and who is allowed in the United States.” This prompted an editorial from the Canadian newspaper, The National Post, titled, “The Border for Dummies.” It asked, “Can someone please tell us how Napolitano got her job. She appears to know as much about border issues as a late night call in yahoo.”
Some are demanding that Janbo resign, but that really wouldn’t change anything because the incompetence goes all the way to the top. Cause if this administration could be any more clueless when it came to foreign policy, it’s unfathomable to imagine. Incidentally, when told many weren’t happy with her halfhearted apology to veterans, Janbo responded, “That’s what their going to get.” And that’s because she’s got so little to give.
