Audacity of Truth

A sense of the tide turning in our favor
Are any of you getting the feeling that I am that the tide seems to be turning against the naysayer defeatist Dems and RINOs in DC as well as those in our liberal media regarding our national security and overall war on terror?
The President’s ratings, while not great, are no longer in the 30s and have been trending upwards for the last month or so. The Dems/liberal media’s very obvious attempts at turning America against this President via news about him authorizing warrantless wiretaps shortly after 9-11 have not produced the results I’m sure they were hoping for – in fact, just the opposite of what they were hoping would happen has taken place. At least one liberal newspaper has come to the conclusion that there was no ‘conspiracy’ to deceive the American people on the part of the President regarding the threat he (and many others) have long asserted about the threat from Iraq. The Dems are on the defensive regarding their stance on the Iraq war.
In 2004, the Democrats and their pals in the MSM ratcheted up their attacks on the President’s national security credentials – one area where he has (with the rare exception to the rule) generally polled above 50%. It didn’t work. They are doing it again.
And it is not working. Again.
When will they ever learn?

I don’t find the Chicago Tribune to be a liberal newspaper. Having said that the following investigations are ongoing
NSA–illegal domestic spying–possible bush impeachment. >Senator Roberts Committee–falsifying intelligence to justify the invasion in Iraq—possible war crimes and impeachment for bush,Cheney&Rumsfeld. >Fitzgerald investigation–lying to the FBI & national security breach–possible prison time for Cheney,Libby & Rove. Impeachment of Cheney. >Abramhoff investigation–Corruption–prison time for Rove, Delay & a cast of thousands. At the moment we are all on winter break but, the New Year looks like a pretty rough one for the Republican Party. Peace
steve, I do believe you to be insane.
Media hoopla and Democrat activist hype is not official anything, except crap thrown against the wall to see if it sticks.
There are going to be no war crime charges, no impeachment, no jail time for Bush, Cheney, Rummy, and Rove.
I also feel that the “tide is turning”
LibDems have been negative on everything-Bush and finally the public is recognizing that LibDems stand for nothing except the destruction of Bush.
The MSM has been prominently displaying the LibDem leadership and I believe that it has backfired on them.

Steve
Your hysteria is laughable.
“prison time for Rove Delay and a cast of thousands”
Someone please wake Steve from his LibDem wetdream.
I personally hope they don’t learn.
The best thing liberals can do is keep making inaccurate accusations (indicative of Steve’s list).
It isn’t about Bush. It’s about conservativism vs. liberalism and liberalism isn’t stating anything they are FOR. No solutions. Only inaccurate accusations.
Things have changed since 1990. There are sources of facts that are now able to be seen and heard. Once can make logical choices based on new facts never seen or heard on CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN.
When I was a liberal in 1991 it was due to the constant barage of the “Virginian Pilot” newspaper and CNN telling me inaccurate things about the rich having so many loopholes that they don’t pay any taxes.
Now. I know the truth. THe top 50% of income earners pay 96% of the income tax. The top 10% and 1% of income earners pay much more than their relative % of wealth in income tax.
We can’t continue to have a system where people who work hard and succeed are punished and people who are lazy and make poor choices (not saving) are rewarded. That kind of system dilutes the safety net that is needed for non-able-bodied people and elderly.
Enough people have learned much more that in 1994 after a 54 year streak of control by Democrats, Republicans gained the majority of governorships, state legislatures and Congress and then in 2001 the white house was added to that list.
I don’t see the tide turning in favor of the attacking, no idea, scare mongering, weak on national security, racist (for racial preferences, big government, illegal immigrant favoring (ala in-state tuition for illegal immigrants in CA), non-truth telling party.
WHile the Republicans have been ALSO to the LEFT of CENTER, conservatives are gaining in numbers every year. It may be that Bush’s popularity dipped but it isn’t because he’s conservative. It’s the OPPOSITE.
I agree with you ST. Things are looking much better for the US suddenly. A bunch of things converged to cause this bright new outlook.
1. Lower gasoline prices.
2. Downturn in violence in Iraq.
3. Iraqi elections.
4. Bush standing up for himself.
5. The economy happily chugging along.
The only way to have a negative outlook these days is to read the NYT or watch CBS/CNN
Sister, I feel that the MSM/Liberal/Dems are losing ground because they are the little boy who cried idiot (not wolf). Generally, no-one believes what they have to say.
They are emotionally invested in opposing the President, way beyond political rhetoric, and it’s sad that those such as Steve posting above waste so much of their lives hating. 2006 is going to be a great year, and I wish you all well.
Baklava is right on target.
I use to be infuriated by the constant Liberal drumbeat from the MSM and the constant parade of Liberal talking heads.
Now I love it when Teddy, Dean, Pelosi, Schumer, Sharpton and the rest of the Liberal savants spout their mindless anti-American Liberal babble for all citizens to see.
Please don’t ever stop!
Everything is going swimmingly. Nothing but sunny days ahead! Heh. Good luck with that.
You must’ve missed the unhappy personally Dem’s post.
Here ’tis
Watching your government come apart is not a happy time. It’s quite sad. What allows hope are things like a small “c” conservative told me a few days ago. He said that the Republican Party was begun by religious men(women could not vote) who were against slavery and that today’s Republican Party had been hijacked by religious posers. He added that the real Right was about to do to the Republican Party what the real Left is doing to the Democratic Party. Both Party’s will be taken back from the money changers. Peace
When all things are considered, 2006 looks to be another positive year for the good guys.
The lefties are running out of ammunition. Nothing sticks because they have no substance.
No power in government, no control of the media, no plan, no clue and no leadership.
No wonder they have lost their minds.
RT: “Everything is going swimmingly. Nothing but sunny days ahead! Heh. Good luck with that.”
ST: Swimmingly? Where did you get the idea that’s what I said/meant? I said I felt like the tide was turning in our favor meaning that the downward skid the President and Republicans have been on seems to be reversing itself. I even acknowledged that the President’s ratings were not that great, but that at least they were out of the 30s range. I didn’t suggest nor imply that there were nothing but sunny days ahead.
Dax: Hello from a fellow North Carolinian
steve – do you by chance have any bumper stickers on your car?
Where are you from, Steve? Your ignorance is really quite astonishing. Let’s look at your “investigations.” NSA – not illegal, not even currently being investigated.
Intelligence Committee Report – is there some official statement I missed? Didn’t the investigation end in like 2004?
Plame Investigation – more or less concluded with no illegal activities done by the White House, and the only indictment regarding statements made during the investigation itself, not related to WH activities.
Abramoff – it’s been a month, and nothing so far. We have this little thing called innocent until proven guilty here in America, stevie.
I’m curious what country Steve is from, where his government is coming apart. That must be horrible! Do you guys need American support Steve? We’re there for you if you are in a democracy. We won’t let you down dude. You are going to have to renounce your communist tendencies though
. America is only supporting democracies nowdays.
“America is only supporting democracies nowadays” and that is what scares me most because all the people who post here tell me that we live in a republic, “if you can keep it”. And everything that bush is doing is undermining this Rebublic. Isn’t it ironic that The Republicans are destroying the Republic? Peace P.S. I am from earth but, some of you seem to be from your-anus. Peace
steve, steve, steve, why the invective? If you can’t debate rationally, with facts, why sink to the level of the Pelosis/Leahys/Kennedys?
Try to climb out of your Leftist box and see the real world, glimpse the truth. It really is invigorating!
And Peace be with you!
ST, Steve’s post of 8:49 needs attention.
The Dems are supposed to be coming out with their own “Contract with America” for the 2006 elections.
They will be following all this negativism with a ” we will do this and this” program.
The object of going negative is to supress the vote. Another way to say this: they are banking on suppressing the general vote while getting the interest group blocks that are their base to the polls with promises of more goodies from the government.
AND WE HAVE A WINNER!!!!! I have always said and will always believe. Those who swear first LOSE the discussion. Thank You very much Steve for your insight or lack there of. Yes Steve from here on out we will take everything you say seriously cuz you know your planets. YaY!!!!!! – Lorica
Ur-planets
There is a surprising amount of relativism going on in the comment section of this thread.
Wow!, Steve made a funny, sort of. Only problem is that pun only works phoneticaly so it would have worked better to write the planet’s name (Uranus) rather than spell out the punchline.
It’s all in the presentation, dude.
BTW, the rest of his posts were even funnier.
I saw on Futurama that they are changing the name of Uranus in the 2600′s to end that silly joke. They change the name to Urectum.
I play to my audience. If you want the bar raised you might stop calling people “stupid” “ignorant” “mentally ill” “looney” “socialist” “bloodbath” “unAmerican” “unpatriotic” and so forth. The primary difference between the Right and the Left is that the Left believes in Redemption and the Right does not. If you would care to carry on an intellectual discussion concerning that concept: Bring it on! Peace
And yet Steve doesn’t answer a single question actually directed at him. But let’s analyze that last post of his. I don’t see anyone here labeling people “stupid” “igonrant” “mentally ill” “looney” “bloodbath” (Wait…calling someone bloodbath? Didn’t he fight Wolverine?) or any of the other things he said we’ve been saying. Victim much, steve? However, there is one person calling others names…that would be the person calling me a moneychanger. That would be the person saying I’m destroying the Republic. That would be the person who seems saying my intelligence level is one that would appreciate a good Uranus joke. That would be the person that says I don’t believe in Redemption (which, whatever the hell that means, I do not think it means what you think it means). No, steve, you are a shining example of the Left, and I will call you a name now. Hypocrite.
steve, “you play” is the only truthful thing you’ve said here. I will add one appelation to you, bigot! You’ve affirmed it time after time.
You are a false light. Read Revelation for an explaination, if Revelation is even in your Bible.
You have no idea what the Right believes in except that we thwart your goofy utopian nightmare.
Steve wants a bloodbath? Why Steve?
I’ll just say this once. You came on this blog calling people warmongerers and saying we want to kill. Sorry. What we want is peace. Your solution would be a bloodbath. WHy do you want that? Peace.
