NO HOBGOBLINS AT THE N.Y. TIMES

The N.Y. Times and Secy. General of the U.N. attempt to prove themselves neither small minded, nor devine...since "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines," according to American essayist, Ralph Waldo Emerson.


"It Shines For All" quotes the New York Times:

"There is plenty of blame to go around when it comes to empowering rogue states. The Chinese have been shielding Sudan and North Korea. The Russians have been shielding Iran. Were it not for Iraq and Mr. Bush's other troubles, there would be ways to shame or bypass those roadblocks. When the Russians blocked U.N. action in Kosovo, President Clinton got NATO to stop the killing," the New York Times editorializes.

Curious how the Times somehow believes that if we weren't fighting terrorists in Iraq U.N. members would somehow change their stripes. Only China had been blocking action on North Korea long before Saddam was deposed. Both Russia and China had been firm supporters of Tehran long before Saddam was deposed.

So the Times recommends that Mr. Bush "bypass those roadblocks." Amazing. Suddenly the U.N.'s greatest supporters are admitting its uselessness. First Kofi Annan yesterday tells Mr. Bush to ditch the U.N. and act alone. And now the New York Times.

As the Times notes, whenever action is taken to stop killings (Kosovo) it isn't through the U.N. We'll second the Times and Mr. Annan and urge Mr. Bush to ditch the U.N. and deal with Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and other rogue regimes with a coalition of the willing.

Funny that that's what the president did to remove one evil dictator -- Saddam.

DUMBF**KS

I've not posted for a while....been away on Jewel and visiting precious grandchilren. See these pictures and the Family Blog for details. We're leaving again tomorrow, but I just can't let this one go.

To Hell with Masturgate or the irony of Dems complaining about "eavesdropping" on terrorists while they shop to their media surrogates the private emails of a perverted gay Congressman. Nobody but the terminally stupid will not see this for what it is.

But NorKoNukes are another matter.



Today’s Democrat politicos, particularly the odious Jimma Caatah, are saying that the NorkoNukes are GWB’s fault…he hurt their feelings by calling them “evil.” Leaving aside the “Sticks and stones….but names can never harm me” point as made by a gajillion grandmothers in the real world, here’s the counter argument.


“Human Rights Watch, a group that is far from pro-American, describes the Pyongyang regime as follows in its annual "Human Rights Overview":

The regime of leader Kim Jong Il, the subject of an intense personality cult, is among the world's most repressive. . . . The country's dismal human rights conditions, including arbitrary arrests, pervasive use of torture, and lack of due process and fair trials, remain of grave concern. There is no organized political opposition, labor activism, or independent civil society. There is no freedom of information or freedom of religion. Basic services, such as access to health care and education, are provided according to a classification scheme based on the government's assessment of an individual's and his/her family's political loyalty.

Would an America that refused to call this "evil" have any integrity as a nation?”

I just can't stand depriving you of this: Ann Coulter's column....eat your heart out Jimmah...swallow your cigar, Bill.

"Bill Clinton's New Glow Job

With the Democrats' full-throated moralizing of late...demonstrates that the Democrats would prefer to talk about anything other than national security. Unfortunately for them, the psychotic Kim Jong Il seems to be setting off nukes, raising the embarrassing issue of the Clinton administration's 1994 "peace" deal with North Korea.

...Current New Mexico governor and former Clinton administration official Bill Richardson has been on tour, bragging about the groundbreaking Clinton administration negotiations with North Korea -- keeping his fingers crossed that no one has access to news from 1994.

...Under the terms of the "agreed framework," we gave North Korea all sorts of bribes -- more than $5 billion worth of oil, two nuclear reactors and lots of high technology. In return, they took the bribes and kept building nukes. This wasn't difficult, inasmuch as the 1994 deal permitted the North Koreans to evade weapons inspectors for the next five years.

Yes, you read that right: North Korea promised not to develop nukes, and we showed how much we trusted them by agreeing to no weapons inspections for five years.

The famed "allies," whom liberals claim they are so interested in pleasing, went ballistic at this cave-in to North Korea. Japan and South Korea -- actual allies, unlike France and Germany -- were furious. Even Hans Blix thought we were being patsies.

If you need any more evidence that it was a rotten deal, The New York Times hailed it as "a resounding triumph."

...And then on Oct. 17, 2002 -- under a new administration, you'll note -- The New York Times reported on the front page, so you couldn't have missed it: "Confronted by new American intelligence, North Korea has admitted that it has been conducting a major clandestine nuclear weapons development program for the past several years."

So when it comes to North Korea, I believe the Democrats might want to maintain a discreet silence, lest anyone ask, "Hey, did you guys do anything with North Korea?"

But by Richardson's lights, the only reason Kim Jong Il is testing nukes is because Bush called him evil. He said, "When you call him axis of evil or a tyrant, you know, he just goes crazy." ...

...Richardson also blames the war in Iraq, bleating that the poor North Koreans feel "that there's too much attention on the Middle East, on Iraq. So it's a cry for attention." If Kim just wanted our attention, he could have started dating Lindsay Lohan. But Richardson says Kim "psychologically feels he's been dissed, that he's not treated with respect."

Damn that Bush! If only he had ignored the crazy Muslims and dedicated himself into sending flowers (and more nuclear reactors!) to North Korea, we could be actively helping Kim develop his nukes like the Clinton administration did.

As Richardson said, Kim "wants us to negotiate with him directly, as we did in the Clinton administration."

To go on TV and propose negotiating with North Korea like Clinton did without ever mentioning that North Korea cheated on that agreement before the ink was dry would be like denouncing American aggression against Japan in 1942 and neglecting to mention Pearl Harbor. Anyone who is either that stupid or that disingenuous should not be allowed on TV.

When pressed by CNN's Anderson Cooper about the failed deal, Richardson lied, claiming the 1994 deal prevented the North Koreans from building nukes "for eight years" -- i.e., right up until the day The New York Times reported the North Koreans had been developing nukes "for the past several years."

Kim is crazier than any leader even South America has been able to produce. In fact, he's so crazy, we might be able to get the Democrats to take action. Someone tell Nancy Pelosi that the "Dear Leader" is an actual pederast. Then we'll at least be able to read his instant messages.

Go for it, Annie. You go, girl!
