Fact vs Fiction

I know the politically correct and sensitive among us don't like drawing such black and white lines, wrong vs right, etc, but if you're politically correct and still reading this, you at least have some semblance of an IQ, and this you may actually be able to understand the following:

Fiction: George Bush is dumb
Fact: While I think anyone who allows Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi, DICK Durbin, Louis Farakhan, Ray Nagin, Barbara Streisand et al, to remain above room temperature after the multitude of lies they've screamed is obviously someone who doesn't have it all together, I don't necessarily think that it's due to intelligence. Perhaps he doesn't believe in the same justice as I do. I believe in meting out your justice right there. When someone wrongs you, you take care of it and discourage further issues. I think that W believes that people who are so horribly dishonest will get their due in the final judgement, when they have to stand in front of God and explain why they were such liars. In addition, I think that he also respects the office of the President too much to have a 'he-said, she-said' contest from there. In addition, an pretty interesting analysis of this takes place here.
You don't get a B- average at Yale being a dumb guy. You'd think Americans would get tired of this ignorance eventually, but unfortunately there are a lot of people out there who get their news from John Stewart and other comedians, rather than actually enlightening themselve and doing a little something called READING.

Fiction: We're losing in Iraq
Fact: While every death and explosion is written about in the New York Times in bloody, gory detail, the fact that electricity is being run to areas that never had it, water is flowing to areas where it was spotty at best, and schools are being built all over the country seems to be completely overlooked. Yes, it's still a dangerous country where an American can be abducted if they don't watch what they're doing, but name a country in the Middle East where that isn't the case (Israel doesn't count). The only difference is that Iraq is where the majority of the terrorists are AT and thus that's where the abductions are taking place. It's almost like the Grateful Dead tours (to speak to you hippie types)...you go where the concert is right? Well, the terrorists go where the Americans are, where they have the opportunity to fight against Americans and kill them. That happens to be Iraq and Afghanistan. But since Iraq has a better infrastructure than Afghanistan, they go there, because even idiot terrorists want their creature comforts like cell phones, flushing toilets, and the like. But speaking of Afghanistan, where's the stories about girls going to school for the first time in their lives there? Where's the stories about how we've made inroads into reducing the poppy production there and also built a ton of infrastructure? Oh, it doesn't make America look bad? We're not going to see it in the NYT or other mass media.

Fiction: George Bush doesn't care about black people (thank you Kanye West you moron)
Fact: George Bush has put more black people and people of other races in higher positions than any president in history. Bill Clinton's supporters liked to speak of him as the nations first 'black' president. Well, he must have respected his fellow blacks a lot to appoint them to such high positions as Secretary of State and National Security Advisor...oh wait, no that was George Bush. Well, how about appointing a hispanic to Attorney General, surely Clinton would have done that to cater to the hispanic vote. Nope, again, that was W. Women? Any love for them? Well, we already know how much Clinton 'respects' women, but at least he did appoint women to Atty General and Secretary of State...if you can truly call Janet Reno and Madeline Albright women. I prefer to continue with my thought that they're both just really ugly old guys who just couldn't live as men any longer. This leads to my next point:

Fiction: George Bush is at fault for the poor response to hurricane Katrina
Fact: The mayor didn't request help and in fact left 2000 school buses that could have been used to evacuate people sitting in a parking lot. The governor didn't request the federal government (the President can't just go in, there's laws against that and unlike his predecessor, George Bush respects the rule of law) help until well after it was too late. She also didn't place the National Guard in the appropriate spots in order to quickly respond to looting etc. Why weren't these stories told? Oh, because both are DEMONcrats and it would make the party look like the incompetent, bumbling boobs that they are.

So, there's just a bit of the game, Fact vs Fiction. I'm sure I'll have more...when the spirit hits me. Until then, GOOGLE sucks.
