Perspective
Joe Mariani

Number of people freed from totalitarian dictatorships by precision use of American military force under George W. Bush:
50 million in just two years

Number of people freed from totalitarian dictatorships by anti-American Bush-bashing terrorist-appeasing whining elitists:
Zero. Ever.
...

The problem seems to me to be the definition of "free speech". Liberals define it as anything they want to say or do that opposes America. I say "speech" ends where "action" begins. Once you pick up a gun for the enemy, throw a rock at a cop during a "peace" march, send money to a terrorist organisation, or travel to Baghdad to block an American JDAM with your ass, you have crossed the line from free speech to costly action.
...

Saying the War on Terror is all about al-Qaeda is like saying we should have fought the Japanese Naval Air Force after Pearl Harbor. Not the Japanese Navy, not the Japanese Army, not the Empire of Japan -- just the Naval Air Force.
...

Complaining about the "waste" when human embryos are destroyed instead of being used in medical experiments is a lot like going to a funeral and complaining about the waste of perfectly good meat.
...

Cavalier's First Theorem:
Every time, Liberals will fight to protect the guilty and kill the innocent, while Conservatives will fight to protect the innocent and punish the guilty.

Cavalier's Second Theorem:
Liberals are just Socialists who want to be loved... then again, Socialists are just Communists who lack the courage of their convictions.

Cavalier's Third Theorem:
Any strongly moral, hawkish or pro-American statement by a Liberal will inevitably be followed by a "but."

Will Smear Tactics Backfire?

The Democrat viciousness of the final days of the California recall campaign ought to be remembered.  California is a microcosm, a precursor of the Presidential campaign that's only just heating up in the rest of the country.
Remember how the newspapers (led by the LA Times) ran a personal smear campaign against Arnold Schwarzenegger, starting with reprinting a 25-year-old interview with a French magazine, to the point of going out to find women to make allegations of sexual misconduct against him only a few days before the election. (http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/1001arnoldwomen-ON.html)
Remember how the newspapers ran endless stories about the fact that Arnold's father was a Nazi... a fact over which Arnold has no control. (http://www.usatoday.com/news/politicselections/2003-08-24-arnold-father_x.htm)
Remember how ABC News created stories about Arnold praising Adolf Hitler, deliberately changing the words "But I didn't admire what he did with it" to "and for what he did with it" after the words "I admired Hitler for instance because he came from being a little man with almost no formal education, up to power. And I admire him for being such a good public speaker and for his way of getting to the people and so on."  (http://www.drudgereportarchives.com/data/2003/10/03/20031003_012605_mattaa.htm)
Remember how the newspapers left out the rest of that 25-year-old interview: "Yes, in Germany they used power and authority but it was used in the wrong way," Mr. Schwarzenegger said, according to Mr. Butler. "But it was misused on the power. First, it started having, I mean, getting Germany out of the great recession and having everybody jobs and so on and then it was just misused. And they said, let's take this country, and so on." Mr. Schwarzenegger concluded: "That's bad." (http://www.nytimes.com/2003/10/04/national/04BOOK.html)
Remember the vicious attacks against Arnold by groups such as moveon.org, which has embarked on email and television smear campaigns telling people "if you have a wife, daughter or mother, you cannot vote for this man".  Remember that they got their name from their campaign against the impeachment of Clinton, claiming that it was "all about sex" (it was all about LYING, actually), that a person's sex life was his or his own business, and that we should all just "move on". (http://www.moveonpac.org/moveonpac/)
Remember which Democratic Presidential candidates for the '04 election (not to mention Bill and Hillary Clinton) endorsed Gray Davis and (by extension) his tactics. (Hint: ALL)
Remember all these vicious backstabbing gutter political tactics.  It won't be hard. You're going to see all these tactics and more directed against President Bush over the coming year.  If you think the attacks on him have been bad since the Democrats began seriously trying to destroy him after the liberation of Iraq, "you ain't seen nothin' yet".
The anti-Arnold smear campaign, I predict, will backfire against Davis and his slimy cronies, sweeping Arnold into the Governor's mansion tomorrow on a wave of indignation. 
Likewise, the more vicious the attacks against President Bush, the better I sleep at night.  As I said, this California recall election is a precursor of next year's Presidential election.  All the vitriol of the Democrats is going to backfire against them in the national race as well.
