The Clinton-Obama debate from California promised to produce a
lot of interesting "fireworks," but it didn’t. With Wolf Blitzer moderating, it
turned out to be just another CNN "softball game," proving nothing more than
that CNN actually does stand for "Clinton News Network."
As usual, what the CNN questioners didn’t ask, and what Clinton
and Obama didn’t say, was far more important than what they said. For those who
are new to the political trenches and who are just beginning to understand
liberals and Democrats, this is the most important thing to know about them.
Liberals and Democrats will jump through hoops, turn themselves inside out,
trying NOT to address the really important issues or actually tell the truth
about anything if the truth will not help their cause.
For example, just minutes before the California debate, I
jotted down five names and phrases with the intention of counting the number of
times those names and phrases were used during the two hour debate. I wrote
down: 1) Usama bin Laden, 2) al-Qaeda, 3) Islamic fundamentalism, 4) Islamic
jihad, and 5) Muslim extremists.
Inasmuch as Islamic fundamentalists are sworn to either convert
or slaughter every non-Muslim man, woman, and child on Earth, and since it is
left to the United States to play the major role in preventing the total
destruction of western civilization, one would think that Islamic jihad and the
War on Terror would merit at least a mention in a debate between the leading
candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination… but it didn’t. There was
not a single mention of any of those five topics.
Instead of addressing the most deadly enemy ever faced by the
civilized world, Clinton and Obama chose to ignore the threat and, instead,
tossed bone after bone to the surrender monkeys of the radical left who now own
their party. Ironically, less than twelve hours after Clinton and Obama walked
off the stage at the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles, two mentally retarded Muslim
women walked into the Ghazil animal bazaar and the New Baghdad bird market in
eastern Baghdad. And when they had reached the most crowded section of the
markets their radical Islamic handlers pressed the buttons on their remote
devices and exploded the bombs strapped to the women’s bodies.
Ninety-nine innocent people… men, women, and children… were
killed, and more than 115 were injured. A great many of those killed at the bird
market were children who like to gather around the pigeon stalls to watch the
birds.
These are the brothers of the suicide bombers who hijacked
airplanes and flew them into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on
September 11, 2001, killing 3,000 innocent people. These are the people that
Democrats try very hard to ignore because they simply do not have the will or
the courage to confront them. It is as if they were wearing blinders, their eyes
focused on everything but the ugly realities of our day and time.
Instead, they compete to see who can be first to surrender to
the Islamic fascists… to see who can be the fastest in getting American troops
out of Iraq and Afghanistan where they are working very hard at ridding the
world of religious fanatics… the kind of religious fanatics who would strap
bombs to the bellies of mentally retarded women and send them to blow up crowds
of children whose greatest crime is that they appreciate the beauty of birds.
These are the people that Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and
their friends in the radical anti-war movement prefer to coddle. These are the
people that Barack Obama thinks he can "sweet talk" into behaving themselves. As
the New York Post said in a January 31 editorial endorsing Obama over
Clinton, "For all his charisma and his eloquence, the rookie senator sorely
lacks seasoning. And on national security, his worldview is beyond naïve
– blithely unaware that America must defend itself against those sworn to
destroy the nation.
"Meanwhile, Obama’s all-things-to-all-people approach to
complex domestic issues also arouses scant confidence. ‘Change!’ for the sake of
change does not a credible campaign platform make."
(Remember, these are the things the Post said about the
man they endorsed. We don’t have the space here to repeat what they said about
Hillary Clinton, the candidate they oppose.)
Yes, it is the radical leftists of the Daily Kos, Moveon.org,
and Code Pink, who tell Democrats what to think and say, who will decide who
gets to represent their party and who does not. But they represent only a small
percentage of the voting population. And when the American people finally focus
their attention on either Clinton or Obama in the fall election, and they are
finally confronted with the stark reality that one of these two people could
actually be charged with the responsibility for protecting all of us, they will
finally take off their blinders and make the right decision.
