Strange to say, one of Straight Up’s most faithful readers is a raving rightwing lunatic who
sends nicely designed but anonymous emails telling us how great we are, except for what he
considers our raving leftwing lunacy. Because we’re so bloody fair-minded, we thought we’d give
him the soapbox we keep in the corner for people like him.
He doesn’t say exactly, but we think the message that came from him yesterday is his response
to our comments about the death of Iraqi civilians listed by IRAQ BODY COUNT. We’re posting the
message for its entertainment value. It also shows, if nothing else, what sane people are up
against:
In the two years since terrorists attacked us, President Bush has liberated two
countries, crushed the Taliban, crippled al-Qaida, put nuclear inspectors in Libya, Iran and North
Korea without firing a shot, and captured a terrorist who slaughtered 300,000 of his own people.
We lost 600 soldiers, an average of 300 a year. Bush did all this abroad while not allowing
another terrorist attack at home. Worst president in history? Come on!
The Democrats are complaining about how long the war is taking, but… It took less time to
take Iraq than it took Janet Reno to take the Branch Davidian compound. That was a 51-day
operation. We’ve been looking for evidence of chemical weapons in Iraq for less time than it took
Hillary Clinton to find the Rose Law Firm billing records. It took less time for the 3rd Infantry
Division and the Marines to destroy the Medina Republican Guard than it took Teddy Kennedy to
call the police after his Oldsmobile sank at Chappaquiddick. It took less time to take Iraq than it
took to count the votes in Florida!!!! Our military and the Commander-in-Chief is GREAT! PASS
IT ON.
Makes you want to re-think reality. Besides, we don’t know where he got
this business about “worst president in history.” We never said it. We think
the little fucker doesn’t even rise to that standard.
