Blind
Hate 07/28/03
It seems
that some people just can’t get over Al Gore losing the
very
tight election to George Bush, and if anyone ever needed the
proof that
one vote counts I think they have it now beyond a shadow of
a doubt.
Al Gore
is a good man with the best interests of America at heart. A
lot of us just don’t happen to agree with how he would
go about leading
this country, but I will readily agree that he is an honorable
man. If
he had become president I probably would have criticized the
things he
did which I disagreed with, but I certainly would not have hated
him.
The
same is not true with some of the other side and George Bush.
They
literally hate him and accuse him of everything but the leaning
of The
Tower of Pisa. He has been accused of going to war for oil,
to avenge
the thwarted attempt that Saddam Hussein made on the life of
his father
and a plethora of ignoble things domestic and foreign.
Even
when he makes an effort for the causes so cherished by the left,
they will not give him credit for it. If Bill Clinton had mounted
a
major offensive against AIDS in Africa the homosexual community
and
Hollywood celebrities would have been doing back flips and elevated
him
to a place approaching sainthood in their eyes.
Yet
when President Bush proposes to spend billions of dollars to
help
Africa with it’s pandemic hiv problem, nary a word of praise
emanated
from the gay community or tinsel town.
Bush
wins a war and they rant and rave about the collateral damage.
Bill Clinton bombs an aspirin factory, taking innocent life
and there
is nothing but a loud silence from the left.
Bill
Clinton had a chance to take Osama bin Ladin into custody on
three
different occasions and did nothing about it, still no
criticism from the left. President Bush goes after Bin Ladin
with both
barrels blazing and still nothing but disdain from the other
side.
Is there
not a double standard? Why did the radical feminine groups
stay silent on Bill Clinton’s treatment of women? The brazen
insult to
Paula Jones, the fondling of Kathleen Willie, the relations
with Monica
Lewinsky in the Oval Office and heaven only knows how many others.
Why
do they accuse President Bush of lying about something that
I’m
sure he thought was the truth and give William Jefferson Clinton
a
clean bill of health when he looked into the television cameras
and
told America and the world a bald faced lie, which he knew was
not true.
No man is perfect, and I know that George Bush is not. When
I disagree
with him I say so. He makes mistakes and uses poor judgment
at times.
We all do.
But
is that a reason to hate him?
Pray
for our troops.
What
do you think?
God
Bless America
