Ann Coulter nails it…
She explains exactly what led up to 9/11, step-by-step, cause-and-effect, event-then-response (or lack thereof)…
Thanks to the Colonel Ku®tz over at Lee’s.
Go read this, now, as they say…
I wish, I wish I could write as well as Denbeste.
Some nice excerpts:
If the last two and a half years have done nothing else, they’ve exposed the breadth and depth of misapprehension around the world of Americans by non-Americans. bin Laden expected the US to drop to its knees and beg after 9/11, along the lines of what Spain did after 3/11. The Europeans expected the US to collapse in paroxysms of self-loathing and guilt for past misdeeds which were perceived (in Europe) as being the “root cause” of the attack. The Europeans also expected the US to be chastened, and to see this as nemesis leading from American unilateral hubris. They expected a new dedication to multilateralism.
The party ended and the hangover started when the dot-com bubble burst. And after 9/11, the vacation ended for America. We don’t generally sweat the little stuff, but we were once again facing big stuff. Our true deep nature once again came to the fore.

Get a good whiff of all your favorite liberal stars!

and ROBERT KENNEDY JR. !!!
Liberal talk radio is an experiment, and like any new venture, it will make some mistakes and undergo some failures. But perhaps the best sign of its potential is how much conservatives already hope it will go away.
Last I checked, NPR has been around for quite awhile, that bastion of right-wing thought...err. Sure...that’s what NPR is.
Rules for a Gunfight
I ran across this list again, and remembered posting it when I was still stuck on Blog*Spit, but when I went looking for it, I couldn’t find it. So I borrowed this (oft-repeated) list from another site, because it’s worth reprinting from time to time.
Pass it around.

It’s ALL Bush’s fault!!
Found at Drudge…
High gas prices? Bush’s fault!
“This administration has done nothing with OPEC to reduce the gas prices,” Kerry said during a rally at the University of California, San Diego. The city has the nation’s highest average gas prices at $2.12 a gallon.
That has nothing to do with gasoline taxes, now does it Mr. Kerry? Just those evil rotten corporations gouging people. Right?
The Afterlife
I figured that since I was just barely evil (see below), I should find out where I’d be spending my after-life…
Are you damned?

You will die a warrior and be spirited away by warbling wenches to the Hall of the Slain. Meat and mead for ever more, well until Ragnarok, anyway, when you will do battle with giants, giantesses, dwarfs, elves and Nidhug, a dragon who likes to nibble trees. Odin is great!
Don’t vote for the white guy…
....even though he is a raging Democrat.
Sean points out the weird circumstances regarding the Milwaukee mayoral race between Marvin Pratt and Tom Barrett.
One supporter told the Journal Sentinel, “I’m still going to vote for Marvin. They’re just scrutinizing him because he’s trying to make a change for the black people.”
I think this is a microcosm of what’s happened in this country. In large numbers, blacks continually vote for the candidate with the D next to the candidate’s name. All I would ask is...why?
It’s the very definition of insanity...trying the same thing over, expecting a different result.
If you keep voting for candidates just because they’re Democrats and you’re still feeling in dire straits, shouldn’t that be a sign to change? I’m not saying every black person in this country should just switch to Republican, but at some point, you have to look at the rhetoric and just honestly ask if it has been worth it, that is selling your votes to the Democratic party.
They only use you as a voting bloc, to be trotted out when needed. Forget about really helping you, since that would necessitate you dropping them like bags of dirt. I think it’s time too…
Once again, the whiners get their way
Now that Rice is going to testify, I wonder if the Dems will demand more people to come forward and tell what they knew.
I’m sure in the end this might be a good thing, just to rebut Richard Clarke’s testimony. But I think nothing will suffice for these jackals on the left. They’re so foaming at the mouth angry in regards to Bush, they are searching in vain for anything to stick to him. 9/11 would be that thing, but most people don’t place the blame squarely on Bush. Nor do they 100% blame Clinton.
I prefer to blame the terrorists, personally.

When does the French browbeating begin?
Since we now have seven new members of NATO, when does France begin to assert it’s usual role of being that the family member who thinks they know everything and has to keep the new kids down?

HEY, we’re coming after you!!
First Abdel Aziz Rantisi says he’s angry at us now. Great, make things a whole lot easier.
The new Hamas chief in Gaza has harsh words for President Bush, calling him the enemy of god and Islam.
Oh, but then…
However, a few days later, Rantisi backed down from the threat, saying Hamas would only be active in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and Israel.
Hmm, maybe the prospect of having your minions and terrorist thugs pounded into oblivion made you think twice, eh Rantisi?
Yes, maybe we shouldn’t have gone into Iraq at all. Things would’ve cleared themselves up on their own. Yep, I’m sure of it....
What do you wanna bet
that the recent French elections are somehow going to be blamed on Bush?
When the Spanish people were attacked, and they voted against the existing government (one of our allies in Iraq) as a “censure” of that decision, everyone was talking about how that showed that the citizens were against the War, and wanted to show their displeasure.
Well, France was shocked just a few days ago to discover that they had home-grown Islamofascist wackos, who had mined the railroad tracks in an attempt to attack “infidels”.
Then, all of a sudden, they had an election. And Chirac’s party lost. Big-time.
Anyone want to take wagers that no one will mention the loss in relation to the War on Terror? Oh, no, it’s all going to be economic news, because French people just don’t get attacked by the Islamofascists…

McAuliffe and Saddam, sitting in a tree…
I was going to blog about this yesterday, but didn’t think comparing Saddam to the head of the DNC was appropriate. Oh, how I was wrong.
Terry McAuliffe is, without a doubt, perhaps one of the most smarmy, pompous pieces of trash inhabiting the Democratic party. Only Paul Begala can rival his panache for scum-like rhetoric.
And with that, I sincerely hope the man stays on and continues as head of the DNC.
Sometimes you feel like a nut…
How evil are you?

So, terrorism is all Bush’s fault?
Bullshit. David Horowitz shows why.
Go read immediately. But, since it’s Horowitz, you’d better pack a lunch. Every word is worth reading, but there are a lot of them.
