Delay Sez Democrats wear foil hats...
2003-07-26
Good afternoon, or, as John Kerry might say: "Bonjour!"

I’m sure you’ve already heard a good many speakers today and will hear a bunch more after I’m done. So you’ll probably judge my speech more on its brevity than its persuasiveness. But that’s okay, because as you may have heard, we Republicans from Texas aren’t known for our el-o-qua-city.

But we are known for being clear. So in the interests of clarity, I have a simple message to pass along: the national Democrat party seems to have lost its marbles.
This is such an excellent speech. Good laughs, but some good, serious points about where the left is going these days.

Containment is not an option - to say nothing of appeasement. Terrorism will either be confronted - dead on - or it will destroy the free nations of the earth. But in the last 18 months, it has become clear that the extreme, Bush-hating wing of the Democrat Party has decided to either ignore or reject the fundamental realities of 21st century life. And rather than distance themselves from the hate, the party’s leaders have embraced it.

To try to gauge just how out of touch the Democrat leadership is on the war on terror, just close your eyes and try to imagine Ted Kennedy landing that Navy jet on the deck of that aircraft carrier. I don’t know about you, I certainly don’t want to see Teddy Kennedy in a Navy flight suit anytime soon.
Makes me shudder...

And now, the piece de resistance...
They’ve gone off the deep end. Consider:
  • Bob Graham - a respected former governor and chairman of the intelligence committee - is calling for the president’s impeachment.

  • John Edwards - a so-called moderate - compares the president to a dangerous socialist.

  • And Dennis Kucinich - a long-time member of Congress - now calls for legislation - I love this - to ban "mind control" weapons in outer space.
These ideas aren’t unpatriotic... they’re just weird. It makes you wonder if at their next presidential debate, the Democrats are all going to show up wearing aluminum-foil helmets to protect their brain waves from the mother ship! People who believe such things cannot be trusted with national leadership, period.
Guest poster note: Don’t know what I did to get that link way to the right. Sorry, whatever it was.

#10   Yeah, right Badanov--all of us Democrats are in a vast, left-wing conspiracy to convert the US into a Communist/Islamic state!

I already knew that!

Wouldn't the two be mutually exclusive? Maybe you need to smear us with either the Mullahs or the Marxists--but pick one!

Geee, I dunno. With diversity being the latest thing in democratic circles, I can see a scenario where only 'certain people' can have access to their own government, where others are squeezed out. So Marxists (democrats) amd Islamists (also democrats) can impose their views, much the way the 'diversity' crowd does it.

But right now, US Marxists are too weird and loopy to sell their ideas at election time. So hows about a little regime change, such as what Kerry was espousing? You could get into that, right? I mean you all hate Bush but only certain people who hate certain people are, well certain people, right? They are the ones who get to lord their military record over others, as long as they are 'certain people.' As long as they call for regime change and not to protect the United States.

Right?

Tell me I am wrong.

And if you think the majority of Americans appriove of a TEX-ASS Republican weasel like DeLay--I got a bridge for sale in Brooklyn.......

#8  stevey - we hear a lot about your father - and he has our thanks, honest. Three tours is a bitch - and took more than a single 3 year hitch, given the req'd down time out of country.

But now you're raising the question about Delay, so it's fair game to send it back. What about you?

#7  Here is a list of some of the phrases Delay used for democrats.

lost its marbles.
a potent electoral machine
no longer a serious force in the national debate.
an irrational, all-encompassing, broiling hatred of George W. Bush.
rented mules
lost in a time warp
tax like Mondale and spend like Carter.
their true Swinging-Seventies selves.
not a lack of patriotism
lack of seriousness
their current leadership unfit to face the serious challenges of the 21st century.

Are you reading the same article I am?

And If I have my choice between a reserve air force officer who didn't go into combat and a decorated veteran who has used the term 'regime change' for our very government, I will take the air force guy anytime. Veteran or not, those loudmouths who are running atop their record as a veteran espose policies which are detrimental to the security of the United States. They shame the nation and they shame the uniform they once wore.

By the way, shame on them.

But that is alright. I don't expect a democract to be concerned for the safety and well being of its citizens. I expect them to embrace policies and alliances which weaken America's defenses and open the gates to the barbarism of Marxism and Islam.

#5  "The Democrats' problem is not a lack of patriotism. It's a lack of seriousness."

Just so. If they want more chance than the proverbial snowball, they need to lay aside partisan bickering and cast aside the beauzeaux moonbats.

#4  Please, please, please let Tom DeLay come out of the closet and assume Hastert's position instead of being the puppet master! I'd love THAT face on the Republican party--he makes Newtie look like a great statesman and a centrist!

#2  He actually said this!? That's awesome! The link doesn't appear to be working, though, and I'd like to see the whole story.

#1  the Pack counterattacks the moonbats. 'bout frigging time. The Hammer can say things Bush and Cheney and Condi can't, puts the dwarves in their place, the far-left corner of the room, at the kids' table
