An America that no longer knows itself (Kathleen Parker)
Washington Post Op/Ed ^ | 9/11/11 | Kathleet Parker

Posted on 09/11/2011 5:30:40 AM PDT by Haiku Guy

The legacy of 9/11 can’t be fully measured even now, but perhaps the most damaging aspect can be found in our national discourse.

Taking the long view, it is possible to see the roots of today’s political dysfunction — the hate, fear, anger and resentment — firmly planted in the soil at Ground Zero.

The left thinks America deserved 9/11. The left wanted America to lose the wars that followed. The left tried to destroy George W. Bush. The left foisted on the country a “healer” who was nothing but a leftist ideologue.

That’s why the country is divided. It’s not because of some nebulous mass psychosis.

But, I guess writing a column like this makes a writer feel good about herself, and guarantees a pleasant reception on the cocktail party circuit.

26th February 2011

If CNN fires you, what does that say? How could a “conservative” columnist work for Communist News Network? Ever?

Hey Kathleen Parker! UN Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick gave a speech to the RNC in 1984. The speech has since been labled the "Blame America First". She described the Liberal world view exactly.

They said that saving Grenada from terror and totalitarianism was the wrong thing to do - they didn't blame Cuba or the communists for threatening American students and murdering Grenadians - they blamed the United States instead.

But then, somehow, they always blame America first... http://www.cnn.com/ALLPOLITICS/1996/conventions/san.diego/facts/GOP.speeches.past/84.kirkpatrick.shtml

And you, Parker, have gone to the basement of your mind and pulled out the moldy music book and have sung that nitwit song of American self-immolation. Go Away!

Another thread today (on Lucianne)tries to explain that O Hussein Obama was elected in part as a back-lash to George W. and his war on the rest of Hussein's relatives. True to a point, I suppose, but a bigger element working in conjunction is political correctness with some white guilt mixed in.

PC and white guilt are the very reasons Obie won't be asked to step down, despite an obvious and further destruction of the Democratic party.

That’s not bad, but it actually scans as “SARCAM” unless you borrow the “s” from “absolute”. I came up with StupidAssRulingClass because it has a nice sing-song quality to it, and fairly describes a group of obnoxious Elitists who believe they are a whole lot smarter than they truly are.

I cannot stand this woman. Why is Kathleen regarded by some as a “conservative”? Because she once liked John McCain? Go have a martini and chill out, Kathleen....

She’s coming undone.

She still hasn’t come to terms with the fact that the man she helped elect president is a stuttering clusterf*ck of a miserable failure.
