I'm really not the 'gloating' type, and besides, this freedom is for the Iraqi people, and not for me to point score. But after six months of being vilified as a 'war monger' by my left wing friends, I couldn't resist asking them what they thought of the exhuberent scenes on TV today. In fact I think I said: ``You see the Iraqi 'berlin wall' moment on TV today. Ye know? The people you said we shouldn't liberate?''
I had to listen to more back peddlin' shit (excuse the language) tonight than I have in the last six months when they thought they were crusaders for 'good'.
I'm a simple enough girl.
But I cannot understand WHY people can't admit it when they were not only WRONG. DAMN WRONG!!!
Now listen.
In the past any inquisitive, inquiring, would be "journalist" would've asked the same things of their "friends" as you!
But today damned few actually muster the moxie to ask; hence, our present *shortage* of "good" journalists, eh?
Good for you, Angel#1!!
There're a couple of those people you've caused to actually think. :^)
One other thing; I realize (at your tender age) the term "friend," is loosly applied.
But please, goto the dictionary & look up the word, "aquaintance," OK??
As your years advance, you'll find the distinction not only a refreshing one (as it'll absolve you) but also a saving grace. {g}
"I had to listen to more back peddlin' shit (excuse the language) tonight than I have in the last six months when they thought they were crusaders for 'good'."
HA!!
Angel?
You're *french* is perfect english, to me.
The *operative* phrase to hone-in on here is, "...when they thought they were crusaders for 'good'"
That's the key & believe it or not, an entire novel could be written on *that* subject, alone. (no shit... ;^) )
If you think of it?
The only real way to differentiate between the stooges [read: "useful idiot"] in this life & the real "Liberal-Socialist" SOB?
Lies in your perception of their intent, doesn't it?
Follow?
"I'm a simple enough girl."
Yea that you are, alright.
~sigh~
But you're also a hellova woman, too.
"But I cannot understand WHY people can't admit it when they were not only WRONG. DAMN WRONG!"
HA!!
Well, I could pontificate on that ad nauseum ad infinitum; but, what'd be the point?
That's an *angle* you need to contemplate time & again and when you *think* you've their/a motive(s) figured out?
Write of the phenomenon!!
Your readers are asking similar -- if not the same -- question(s). (~wanna bet?)
*Sell* 'em the answer(s) sweetheart; because, they sure in the hell aren't gonna take [it] if you give it to 'em for free.
*Since* you can "see" this particular oddity, these days that kind of "insight" (easily) qualifies you as a "leader."
So don't be looking a "gift horse" in the mouth, Lady, write these things down, & you go for it!!
...understand? ;^)
That's 'cuz fer Lib'rals to admit they were WRONG regarding Blair and Bush with respect to Iraq, they would be chastened for straying from the pro-Tyranny/pro-Oppression EffeteElite--and thereby anti-Dubyuh/anti-Blair mentality. Unless Blair shrinks from the Courage&Wisdom he's displayed fer the last 20 months and champions growth in the British social welfare system, I wouldn't be surprised to see Blair win re-election handily with as much Tory support as Labour.
Not gloatin's hard, I know, but this is an EXCELLENT opportunity to compassionately engage yer Lib'ral collegues and family and friends in the important--and inevitable--process of coming to grips with the reality that FReedom and Justice and Truth are the Righteous Path to take, and all the hucksters promising them a SocialistUtopia are but scamming to steal away their money and their self-autonomy.
