*** ORBUSMAX GUEST OP/ED *** Democrats Finally Go Over the Edge - By Justin Darr January 11, 2004 I feel like I am in the "Twilight Zone". Never in my life of following politics have I seen the COMPLETE SELF DESTRUCTION of a major political party as I am seeing with the Democrats in 2004 (my Grandma says that is because I cannot remember the 1968 Democratic Convention.) The Democratic Presidential Candidates have made it VIVIDLY clear they have no real issues on which to run except for the fact they ARE NOT President Bush. However, now the most dreaded event possible has befallen the Democrats. GOOD NEWS. Yes, the economy is improving and is beginning to generate jobs. Operation Iron Hammer's "get tough" policy has reduced attacks on Americans and shows real promise in finally liberating the people of Iraq. (By the way, you will never hear Liberals talking about Afghanistan much. Why? BECAUSE WE ARE HAVING SUCCESS THERE!!!) Now, the Liberals have gone into a complete TIZZY with no idea of what to say or do next. Good news to a Liberal is like remembering a childhood trauma. Calls echo through the halls of the Democratic National Committee: "OH, NON OFFENSIVE DEITY OTHER THAN JESUS HELP MEEEEE!!!" "This can't be HAPPENING AGAIN!!!" " First Rush Limbaugh returns and now this!!!!" (More seriously, this commotion is disturbing the hemp shirt weavers' convention and the "Soak an American Flag a Jar of Urine" art gallery in the George McGovern Annex.) The ONLY way the general public might vote for half baked, poorly conceived socialist reengineering plans is if they are REALLY fed up and unhappy and willing to do ANYTHING. In the Liberal mind, something that distracts the voting public from pure misery does nothing but generate Republican votes. The Democratic Presidential Candidates have already proven themselves incompetent in proposing any new issues for the nation or any specifics on what they might do differently than Bush. Bur now, in light of positive news, the major candidates are becoming COMPLETELY UNGLUED, spouting some of the wildest and most ridiculous rhetoric in American political history. Massachusetts Senator John Kerry, evidently upset that the primary season is not going his way despite the fact that he is a liberal, elitist snob (usually enough to make any candidate the darling of the D.N.C.), erupted into a fowl mouthed conniption about President Bush in "Rolling Stone Magazine". I will spare you the insult of repeating the language, but let it suffice to say that what Kerry accuses Bush of doing in Iraq; he just did to his own campaign. While John Kerry's current escapade has captured most of the news, he is not alone among the Democratic Candidates who are single mindedly determined to humiliate themselves. A quick look at what the Democratic Candidates are saying makes them look like they are trying to be "elected" for a Prozac cocktail rather than the highest office in the land. One of the most overlooked Candidates is Dennis Kucinich (yes, he's still running). Congressman Kucinich's campaign is evidently cash strapped, so he has finally abandoned even the PRETENSION of being a serious candidate by rolling out his new "Adopt an Intern" program and a lottery where the winner gets to go with him on a date. You know. This IS the Party of Bill Clinton. Hmmmm. Kucinich is either looking to get votes one at a time "the hard way", or he has found a new career selling, well, interns! Perhaps he will request that the next Debate appear on Pay Per View hosted by fellow Democrat, Jerry Springer. He could even get the group from Michigan, "Babes Against Bush", to do a "Regime Change Countdown" nude mud-wrestling event! Not to be left out is former General Wesley Clark. I hope that General Clark's penchant for repeating outrageous rumors he has heard around Washington as "facts" is no indication of how American Intelligence gathers information on Saddam Hussein. Clark claims he was contacted by the White House on 9/11 and was urged to tell CNN he believed Iraq was behind the bombing of the World Trade Center. Unfortunately, for Clark, there are no records of this phone call EVER being made. Probably, the records were whisked away to Area 51 and are now being stored with Amelia Earheart's plane on the set where N.A.S.A. filmed the "fake" Moon landings. One of Clark's best has been that Bush intends to spread war to Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Iran, Somalia, and Sudan in a mysterious "5 Year Plan." This idea came to Clark from "a man with three stars who used to work for me." WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN???? Does this guy want to be President or a bad private eye detective novelist? At least the X-Files are ENTERTAINING! Who knows, John Kerry might think Clark is really a private detective and call him a "dic" at the Convention. Last but not least is Howard Dean, who (in his traditional fashion) has tried to keep himself away from the riff raff who he is running against by stating that he heard an "interesting rumor" that Bush was tipped off about 9/11 and allowed it to happen. WELL, THAT MAKES A WHOLE LOT OF SENSE, HOWARD. Is Dean actually that crazy? I thought it was just the bong toting, body pierced weirdoes who support him! I can honestly say I do not think even Bill Clinton would have sat by and allowed 9/11 to happen if he had a warning. For Dean to say such a thing goes as far from acceptable discourse are Kerry's comments. Since Dean brought the issue of this rumor up, let me clue you into the entire tale. You see, the story goes that the Saudi Government warned Bush that a terrorist attack was being planned for New York and Washington D.C. However, the gossip goes that it was the Israeli Mossad and Jewish Americans who were behind the plot backed by the CIA, not Osama bin Laden. This story has been the basis of many books in Europe and the Arab Press and has nothing of substance to substantiate the claim but the hateful imagination of the authors. Since Dean is citing this story as "interesting", it should give us all serious pause consider what kind of people he chooses to associate and gather information. Dean has also stated that the terrorist group "Hamas" might not be a terrorist group but freedom fighters (killing innocent women and children must just be their HOBBY). Do I smell a little anti-Semitism here? Granted he is a Liberal, but does he have to believe EVERYTHING he reads. The lunacy of the Democrats running against Bush for the 2004 Presidency is not unique to just the Presidential Candidates. Belief in devilish Republican plots is symptomatic of the insane hatred blinding the Left Wing of the Democrats to the point that almost every clear thinking person is appalled. At Lake Buena Vista, Florida Democrats met with the Liberal Candidates to mobilize for the 2004 Election and swap conspiracy theories. This meeting was highlighted by former US Rep Carrie Meek screeching to the crowd of like-minded morons "we should be ready for REVENGE!!!" Is this what a sane person would say to try to convince undecided voters to swing to the Democrats' side? This rally sounds like it was a meeting of "Mad Max" movie extras rather than a political event! (It would have REALLY been funny if Senator Mosey-Braun jumped up in a Tina Turner wig and yelled "THUNDER DOME".) Is this the behavior of a major political party in the greatest nation in history? The sad fact is the mainstream Democrats have given up and abandoned their party to the Leftist Lunatic Fringe. After the 2000 election, they made the conscious decision to move their party to the left in an attempt to consolidate their "base". Now that is all they have remaining. I dread to think of the distortions and outright negative fabrications the Democrats will hurl into the public arena next year. Americans of all political parties deserve better. I hope the only foul things to come from the election are these baseless Left Wing conspiracy theories and not any real damage to our democracy.
