FREDERICK FORSYTH'S LETTER TO GEORGE W. BUSH:
eMail | Frederick Forsyth

Posted on 11/21/2003 9:01:58 AM PST by FlyLow

Today you arrive in my country for the first state visit by an American president for many decades, and I bid you welcome.

You will find yourself assailed on every hand by some pretty pretentious characters collectively known as the British left. They traditionally believe they have a monopoly on morality and that your recent actions preclude you from the club. You opposed and destroyed the world's most blood-encrusted dictator. This is quite unforgivable.

I beg you to take no notice. The British left intermittently erupts like a pustule upon the buttock of a rather good country. Seventy years ago it opposed mobilisation against Adolf Hitler and worshipped the other genocide, Josef Stalin.

It has marched for Mao, Ho Chi Minh, Khrushchev, Brezhnev and Andropov. It has slobbered over Ceausescu and Mugabe. It has demonstrated against everything and everyone American for a century. Broadly speaking, it hates your country first, mine second.

Eleven years ago something dreadful happened. Maggie was ousted, Ronald retired, the Berlin wall fell and Gorby abolished communism. All the left's idols fell and its demons retired. For a decade there was nothing really to hate. But thank the Lord for his limitless mercy. Now they can applaud Saddam, Bin Laden, Kim Jong-Il... and hate a God-fearing Texan. So hallelujah and have a good time.

Gorby abolished communism.

This is the only part he missed. Ronaldus Magnus took care of that.

It was the Gip who won the Cold War without fireing a shot or drafting a single son. Gorby had nothing to do with it.

Wonderful! He hit the nail right on the head. I love the postule on the butt remark. I'm sure most of the English people don't believe like these left wing wackos do, just like most Americans are not represented by our left wing wackos who demonstrate and make their evil messes all over our streets. For shame.

The "HANDS OFF CUBA" and "HANDS OFF NEPAL" signs present in the demonstrations in London should clearly tell us not to pay any attention to the learning-disabled British Left.

Our left is more like a cancerous polyp.

I've always been sorta lukewarm on Forsyth, starting with 'Day of the Jackal':

I desperately wanted to see the assassin succeed in that book!
