Stable, democratic Iraq will play havoc with Democrats’ agenda
“Government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short words: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it,”
—U.S. President Ronald Reagan
DALLAS—Well, the Great Communicator sure knew how to sum up Democratic governments in the U.S. and Liberal governments in Canada.
Just as, alongside a book of Sir Winston Churchill’s witticisms on one’s bedside table, all should also have a book of Ronald Reagan’s perceptive quotations. With, that is, a copy of the Bible and a bottle of bourbon just in case the night really gets tough.
OK, OK—I stole that last sentence from my favourite singer, Frank Sinatra, but I left out that witticism by “Old Blue Eyes” about the third thing that can help a fellow get through a lonely night. I’ll leave that to your imagination, but it’s something warm and cuddly, and comes in nice removable giftwrapping.
Let’s get serious again. Down here, I have four other books on my bedside table, books giving Democrats agonizing indigestion and raising their blood pressure so high it just about spurts out of their ears. Delightful.
Two are by Dick Morris, President Bill Clinton’s former political sage—who now is highly critical of Hillary Clinton as a likely presidential candidate.
They are Rewriting History and Condi vs. Hillary.
The first unravels Hillary’s fraudulent attempts to reposition herself as a moderate, the second details how as either a presidential or vice -presidential candidate, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice can defeat Bill’s missus and save the U.S. from the “leftish havoc” she would unleash.
Edward Klein’s The Truth about Hillary has shot to the top in the bestseller lists, even while Hillary has blackmailed TV stations not to allow the author on their talk shows. The other book that is a devastating indictment of America’s Lib-Left is Unhinged by Michelle Malkin.
It unveils the devious, deceitful and duplicitous campaign to distort everything President George W. Bush’s White House has done, even its most commendable achievements.
All are available from the Con-servative Book Club (www.conservativebookclub.com).
So the Democrats down here are gnashing their teeth and talking about grotesque conspiracies by Bush and Vice-President Dick Cheney to turn the U.S. into a police state.
They must be setting the scene for another movie of fabricated facts by Michael Moore, whose Fahrenheit 9/11 made him tens of millions of dollars, which he quietly invested in stocks of companies he had viciously maligned, such as Cheney’s own Halliburton and Boeing.
But, hey, hypocrisy is built into the genetic structure of the Lib-Left down here just as it is in the Lib-Left in our own country.
Some Democrats—at least the rabid ones such as Ted Kennedy Harry Reid, Dick Durbin, Nancy Pelosi—figure they have Bush in a sweat because of the botched up nomination to the Supreme Court of Harriet Miers.
Sure, it was a head scratcher—but when Republican senators and just about every prominent Conservative commentator started to scream in opposition, Bush backed down.
Now, with the nomination of Samuel Alito, the momentum has been recovered.
Hugely significant was Senate approval of conservative jurist John Roberts as Chief Justice.
A Republican win in 2008 and the Lib-Left bias of the court would be gone for 20 years.
The political reality down here is even though Bush is temporarily down to 37% in the polls, the Republicans are as strong as ever.
Even Morris noted Clinton was down to 36% in the polls, and then turned it around with three top-notch actions and speeches.
Morris actually told Bill O’Reilly on Fox News’ The O’Reilly Factor that Bush could rebound in popularity to 60% within a year by grabbing the bull by the horns on just three or four big issues.
Already, he’s got a booming economy on his side.
Incidentally, Morris, who, despite his bravado, obviously wasn’t solely responsible for reversing Clinton’s torpedoing popularity, but did have that president’s utter confidence, predicts Iraq won’t be a problem for Bush or the GOP within two or three years.
Despite the bombings, this veteran analyst sees victory for democracy in Iraq gaining step by steady step.
A stable Iraq come the 2008 presidential elections and the Democrats are once again toast.
Forget the bourbon, pass the champagne.
