Most NBers are familiar with an hysterical interview that former Partridge Family star Danny Bonaduce had on the streets of Hollywood with a 9/11 conspiracy theorist two weeks ago. On Thursday, Bonaduce was on “The O’Reilly Factor” with guest-host John Kasich to discuss the incident (video available here courtesy of our friend at Ms Underestimated):
I tell you what happened was I think I was eating dinner -- or lunch, rather, at an outdoor cafe. And I think this guy who -- I don't know if he believes in what he's doing or thinks he's helping, but I think, my belief was what he was saying was blatantly anti-American.
If you make the sitting president a murderer, you make my little brother-in-law who I've known since he was 6 a murderer, because he's on the ground in Iraq for his second tour and he's been shot.
Then, Bonaduce went after other Hollywoodans:
And I think he thought he was going to get another celebrity like Tim Robbins or Sean Penn, who are going to stand up and dis their own country that made them rich beyond belief, and he picked the wrong guy. I'm a patriot, born and raised. I could not be more proud to be an American. And I would have none of it.
Apparently the YouTube video clip was edited, for according to Bonaduce, some juicy parts were left on the cutting-room floor:
I got -- you know, at one point I told him, I said, "As far as I'm concerned you now stepped over the line into treason, the punishment for which is death. And I'm really busy, so I may have to kill you right here." I didn't mean it, but I just wanted to shock him a little bit.
Fun stuff. What follows is a full transcript of this segment.
KASICH: In the "personal story" segment tonight, Danny Bonaduce of "The Partridge Family" and reality TV fame is smack in the middle of a very serious situation.
The actor said he and his family have been receiving death threats after this confrontation on the streets of Hollywood was posted on Youtube. The 9/11 conspiracy guy approaches him, wants Danny's reaction to his theory that the Bush administration purposely killed 3,000 people. Well, Mr. Bonaduce didn't like that very much.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
DANNY BONADUCE: Who the (bleep) are you to come up to me on the street and criticize my government? I voted for President Bush. I believe in what we're doing in the Middle East. I don't (bleep) know you. I don't want to know you. I don't give a (bleep) about your opinions. We're losing the hearts and minds around the world. And you want to help make us the enemy. (Bleep) off.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: President Bush is a lying criminal, member of skull and bones and the bohemian grove, where they do mock human sacrifices every year.
BONADUCE: He's also the president of the United States of America, you disrespectful little (bleep).
(END VIDEO CLIP)
KASICH: Joining us now from Chicago is Danny Bonaduce.
Well, Danny, I'm not sure I'm going to have lunch with you soon. Danny, what -- how did this happen? Who was this guy that just comes...
BONADUCE: First of all, I'd like to make it perfectly clear that I have other words at my disposal besides those few that I use quite so often in that little tape.
I tell you what happened was I think I was eating dinner -- or lunch, rather, at an outdoor cafe. And I think this guy who -- I don't know if he believes in what he's doing or thinks he's helping, but I think, my belief was what he was saying was blatantly anti-American.
If you make the sitting president a murderer, you make my little brother-in-law who I've known since he was 6 a murderer, because he's on the ground in Iraq for his second tour and he's been shot.
And I think he thought he was going to get another celebrity like Tim Robbins or Sean Penn, who are going to stand up and dis their own country that made them rich beyond belief, and he picked the wrong guy. I'm a patriot, born and raised. I could not be more proud to be an American. And I would have none of it.
KASICH: You know, Danny, we look at that tape. Here you are sitting, having dinner, right? Does this happen to you all the time, people just come stick a microphone in your face? I mean, they don't know that you have rights, do they? It's just unbelievable that he would do that.
BONADUCE: It's not all the time. And I'll tell you, that wouldn't even bother me. I was in an outdoor cafe on Hollywood Boulevard. I'm a recognizable celebrity.
I enjoy -- I didn't work so hard to be famous to then hide. You'll never catch me wearing a hat and sunglasses. You know, I like it. I think it's a lot of fun to be famous. I think it's neat.
That guy came up and what happened was he thought he was going to get some other spineless coward to dis his own president.
KASICH: No, you're going to get some left-winger. I got you.
Now, Danny, here's the thing that's amazing. In this latest poll, one third of the public buys in to this conspiracy theory that somehow the U.S. either participated or the government either participated or they let it happen. I'm astounded to read those kind of numbers. How do you explain that?
BONADUCE: When I first heard those numbers because I'm not a political figure at all. I'm here in Chicago doing comedy gigs at a club called Zany's. There's not one political joke in my whole act.
If you listen to my radio show, no politics at all, because I'm not really informed.
KASICH: Right.
BONADUCE: I was thrust into this spotlight. And when I first heard that a full third of Americans believe that our own government had something to do with the killing of innocent men, women and children, it was astounding to me. And in a way hurtful.
I mean, you live in the only remaining superpower and a true democracy. You don't get to say you believe the government is bad. In almost any of the countries we're having a problem with, they'll put you to death for it.
KASICH: I can promise you, you resonate with a lot of people.
Danny, let's finish this up, though. People that have threatened your family. Tell us about this.
BONADUCE: Well, I'll tell you what happened. That little clip -- and that's not even all the clip. I've got to tell you the things I said to that man are gentle compared to what is not shown on that tape.
I got -- you know, at one point I told him, I said, "As far as I'm concerned you now stepped over the line into treason, the punishment for which is death. And I'm really busy, so I may have to kill you right here." I didn't mean it, but I just wanted to shock him a little bit.
KASICH: They've come to your family. We've just got a few seconds remaining.
BONADUCE: They came to my family. They came to my family. Then the FBI contacted me and wanted their server names. And I wrote them all back and said, "Don't you understand, I'm a real American. I'm fighting for your right to be able to say what you want to say."
KASICH: All right. Danny, we've got to leave it there.
BONADUCE: And they did.
KASICH: We've got to leave it there. Thanks for speaking up. Thank you.
BONADUCE: Enjoy it (ph).

December 30, 2006 - 10:03 ET by Guy Arthur ThomasMy prediction is that Barbara Walters, whose true colors are showing most vividly now, but were quite obvious even in the 70's, will continue on with her campaign of hate via "The View Klux Klan" and will attack Bonaduce with a string of misandric bombs vomited from her attack dogs, O'D and Behar.

He went on to say that Baba Wawa doesn't like Rosie ..........
How sweet if it were true. I wish the Newsbuster Gods have a clip of the interview because either The Donald isn't telling the truth or he just made this a whole lot interesting.
Barbara Walters talks out of both sides of her mouth...
December 30, 2006 - 10:38 ET by Guy Arthur ThomasEven "The Donald" is subject to his own vanity and sales pitch. Barbara Walters talks out of both sides of her mouth and the truth is that if she had any integrity and conscience which would produce genuine dislike and rejection of a racist, sexist hatemonger like O'D then she would have never hired O'D in the first place and if guilty of an oversight like that Walters would have let Rosie go already. No, Barbara does like Rosie and does support the hate she promotes because the truth is Barbara Walters is this way too, she has just made it her career choice to mask it with a great deal of passive-aggressive behavior. She might whisper in "The Donald's" ear sweet musing about hating "The O'D" but this is simply to keep Donald half-way touchable. In reality Walters hates Trump but Trump's vanity can't bring himself to admit or see that. At least that is my take.
If you claim to be a conservative, please don't disgrace yourself and conservatism by thinking and arguing like a liberal.
Walters
December 30, 2006 - 10:59 ET by iveseenitallWalters is a money-grabing liberal. She should have retired years ago but it is too easy to just be an ass and make millions doing it. We need more alternative media and more stations like Fox on the T.V. The liberals are ruining this nation--have been for 30+years. Fight back or your children and grandchildren will suffer for it.

“Fun stuff.”
Yes, nothing like an obscenity-laden, open-air smack down to raise the level of public discourse. Did you notice in the video where Bonaduce turned to a dining patron at a table next to his and apparently apologized for his behavior before he launched his sputum? Nice touch. Sure, the moon bat with the microphone had it coming to him, but why would you celebrate such foul discourse?
I think what we really saw here is the dark drug and alcohol addicted personality of a faded celebrity come exploding through the surface, ruining the dining pleasure of a half-dozen unwitting bystanders (or bysitters, as the case may be). Other than that it was fun stuff, indeed.

Danny was quiety eating his lunch when a moonbat jerk thrusts a mike in his face. Said jerk then posted the resultant video on the internet.
Why exactly is it the job of DB to "raise the level of public discourse" of an event he neither initiated nor asked for?
Personally I'd have decked the moron.

No what we saw was a guy trying to eat his lunch taking a fairly mild offense at an evil, disgusting liar. He was remarkably self-restrained. And I think we all know what your game is here.
So lets get to you.
You sound like a pompous sanctimonious jerk who pretends to take offense at Danny rightly answering an equally pompous jerk spewing moonbat paranoia and hate.
How's that for raising the level of public discourse?
Though I admit it doesn't quite reach your level of your amateur psychiatry in "diagnosing" a drug and alcohol adicted personality. Now that really raises the level of public discourse.
Anyone who uses good old Anglo Saxon expletives is clearly on drugs.

An “obscenity-laden, open-air smackdown” is the only way to raise the level of public discourse from the shallow, simplistic, hateful spew that these “theorists” generate.
I am by no means a “…dark, drug and alcohol addicted personality…” but, had I been accosted in such fashion I would have carefuly moved the disscussion to the curb, delivered my obscenity-laden response and pushed the a$$hole into the path of the next bus.

December 30, 2006 - 14:15 ET by Noel SheppardDave,
Greetings. So, when did liberals become so opposed to vulgarity? Isn't it your ilk that praises Rap music, and advocates the supposed first amendment rights of libraries to allow access to pornographic websites by patrons? Are you really suggesting that a number of bleeped-out f-bombs should diminish the point being made by the speaker, especially given the fact that the individual in question was minding his own business at a restaurant when he was accosted by this nut? After all, Dave, it wasn't like Danny stepped onto a table and started shouting expletives for no apparent reason. Or, does this seem unimportant to you?
Furthermore, wouldn't you have been just as joyful as us NBers if Sean Pean had smacked down Sean Hannity during such a man on the street segment, and have told us all to lighten up and grow a sense of humor if we were at all offended?
As for the bystanders, that really isn't your concern, is it? After all, this is an outdoor cafe on Hollywood Blvd. likely charging $30 a plate for lunch. As such, it's unlikely that the sensibilities of those present were at all displeased by what transpired, especially given the fame involved with one of the parties in question. Wouldn't you imagine -- and certainly judging from the smiles on the faces of patrons we could see -- that all those present quite appreciated what Danny said given the inanities of the interviewer and the lack of decorum in bothering a fellow diner with such tripe? Please bear in mind that regardless of the 30 percent of this nation -- largely all liberals, I might add -- who believe the 9/11 conspiracies, it seems quite unlikely that such folk were present at the cafe and on the side of Conner.
Given this, it seems quite improbable that your concern is for the patrons, or for the vulgarity, but, instead, your displeasure that so many conservatives were made happy by this event. After all, in the end, what makes liberals the most unhappy is the thought of a happy conservative. Wouldn't you agree? :-) ns
Noel:First, please calm down
December 30, 2006 - 15:32 ET by Dave HighNoel:
First, please calm down a little bit. You are on vacation! By the way, I am jealous. I am at home for the week with my three teenage sons. My wife has spent the week shopping and at luncheons. TMT; To Much Testosterone for her, I know. Me, too.
To the meat of the matter: I really don’t give a hoot what Danny Bonaduce did or said. The whole thing looks a little staged to me. He sits there eating for a long time, allowing the moon bat to ask him questions, and then after a while he asks the lady next to him if he can use foul language, and off he goes. What matters to me is that you and other conservatives have elevated this guy, despite his bad behavior. The guy literally slit his wrists on National TV, for God’s sake. Doesn’t that matter? How can you possibly build him up for smacking down a nutcase? Shouldn’t he go to jail for slitting his wrists on TV? I think so! Isn’t failing to kill yourself on national TV worthy of some penalty? It is obscene, if you ask me.
To your second point, Sean Hannity allows no smack downs. I am sure he is constantly surrounded by security people and for good reason. He has intentionally inflamed the political discourse in this country beyond the point of meltdown. I am sure when Sean goes to Ruth’s Christ Steak House, he is rushed in and quickly ushered to a private room to avoid any embarrassment around the controversy he has inflamed. He chose the life of abusing others, so he is responsible for his own penalties. I hope he has a nice boat, or something.
As for the bystanders, I am sure they had a great show. Perhaps this was nothing more than two nutcases trying to raise their own ships. Why did you bother with it? I thought you were about raising the level of political discourse.
I think I will close with that. It was my main starting point, so I shall finish with it.
Noel, don’t bust an artery over this one. It isn’t worth it. Have a Tequila Sunrise, or whatever your poison, on me!
Happy New Year,
Dave High
Dave
December 30, 2006 - 15:56 ET by Noel SheppardDave,
Actually, my arteries are fine, thank you very much. I'm not taking this as seriously as the prose might suggest. As you stated, I'm on vacation. The only reason I'm anywhere near a computer at this minute is because my daughter isn't feeling well, and I'm sitting with her while she sleeps. Kids are so cute when they sleep! :-)
However, I've taken your advice, opened my first cold one of the evening, and am about to head to the beach to watch the dusk surfers. Been a tradition on this part of the island for years that the best surfers wait until the amateurs have all left to attack the waves as the sun sets. Even though it's the east coast, and the sun is going down behind us so to speak, it still is a glorious sight -- especially with a Heineken!
I'm really not familiar with Danny's trials and tribulations. However, as embarrassed as I am to admit, I was a Partridge Family fan, and Danny was my favorite character because he was my age. As such, seeing him smack this nutbag around was joyous on a number of levels, conceivably including the vulgarity due to the differing decency standards on television 35 years ago. Make sense?
Off to the beach. ns

Unfortunately, a lot of us agree and know exactly how Bonaduce feels, the msm and all the leftists in all venues have pushed us to this point.
Anybody watch the Washington Journal this morning on C-Span...it was infuriating with one of the heads of CAIR on...believe me I tried desperately to get in to that show for two hours almost.....and they wonder why Americans on the right are furious, what a day to have one of the enemy within on, plus he was wearing the Palestinians colors and design on his tie, so in your face....I still am furious four hours later almost. ((There was some good calls though, but I sure wanted to get my two cents in)....but my goodness to have this guest on instead of say someone like Danielle Pletka or such....and they wonder why they have no conservatives that call in anymore....geeesh...get a clue!

Bonaduce is a train wreck, trying to salvage his faded career. Did you know he literally slashed his wrists while taping a television show about hisself? Apparently his second wife asked him for a divorce during the taping schedule. The TV series, Breaking Bonaduce, actually aired his suicide attempt. I wonder what that did for his ratings. Apparently not enough as he continues to beg for the spotlight.

Hey, but just like The Donald, I am all about giving second and even thirds chances. Rush “Viagra” Limbaugh has had three wives and look what it’s done for him! To jump start his love life and career, my suggestion is that FoulMouth Danny ought to marry FoulMouth Annie. What a combo! They could get their own show on Faux to counter The Daily Show. They could call it “The FoulMouth Danny and Annie SmackDown Special!”
I see two potential problems with this, though: They may kill each other before the first taping. Also, I am not sure if Coulter likes boys. She certainly has the Conservative anti-gay obsession thing going. FoulMouth Annie has called every leading Democrat I know a fag. And we all know that with conservatives, it is usually a telltale sign that an extreme anti-gay bias means there are some hidden gender issues lurking below the surface. Best of luck to both of them, though!

Perhaps you have read this book, or others, and can perhaps back up your assertion that she is a "foul mouth"? Or do you, like all Leftists, have such overwhelming fear of them that it causes you to try to attack their behaviors and alleged patterns of speech, rather than the substance of what they argue?

I'm interested in how you define "continually." The reason I ask is because I did a LexisNexis search for "Ann Coulter and fag". This was an all-time search of all the major television networks including cable news channels. I uncovered only one time when Ann Coulter used the word fag when she wasn't quoting someone else, and this was on the July 27, 2006 "Hardball" right after her new book was released. Here is the relevant section:
Now, I can't find the transcript of the Donny Deutsch interview. They must not transcribe his program. However, we know that in this interview, she stated her opinion that based upon Clnton's womanizing and aggressions towards women, he demonstrated homosexual tendencies. But, I can't identify if she called the former president a fag, or just said that he could be gay.
The only other time I can find her using the word "fag" was when she referenced a misstatement by Dick Armey on the November 2, 2006 "Hannity & Colmes": " But, yes, of course, people can misspeak, and I can give you some other examples, when Dick Armey said 'Representative Barney Fag.' I don't remember, you know, liberals saying, 'Oh, well, of course, he meant to say Frank.'"
With that in mind, as this women is regularly on Fox and other cable networks, there appear to be two instances of her referring to Democrats as gay. Does this constitute "continually," and therefore warrant her monicker "Foul Mouth Annie?" ns
Rush was misusing medication
December 30, 2006 - 22:52 ET by CaliosRush was misusing medication not an illegal substance like herion. He also uses actual statements from liberals more times than I care for (but understand why) to make his points. He, himself rather than his callers, is rarely vulgar and disgraceful, but I'm still trying to decide if his nicknames for Senators Reid and Edwards are offensive or not. I don't think they are, but you may find them so.
True Ann is abrasive and rather direct, but if she was otherwise she probably would not get the attention she gets.
It's always painful to watch from the sidelines others handle their task differently than how you would.

Sir, it may be hard to believe, but I do try to be pure. I try to be honest and fair in all my dealings with all people. That does not remove my right to be angry or upset with things that I believe to be wrong, especially morally wrong. Therefore sir, forgive me for being anti-abortion, anti-illegal immigration, pro-Bush, ant-rap,anti-drug and pro-military.
Each morning I ask God's help to guide me in my daily interfaces and dealings. I do not always live up to these standards, but I try.

PS I am also opposed to people who do not put America first and love her and are willing to fight for all she provides. Everyone should carry his or her share of supporting all they receive in America..
Misterbill:Why would you ask
December 30, 2006 - 14:20 ET by Dave HighMisterbill:
Why would you ask my forgiveness for all of the things that you hold dear to your heart? I certainly don't condemn you or others for your social and political beliefs. I too am a patriot. I too go to church. I too put America first. I too support the men and women who are fighting on our nation's behalf. We may disagree on a lot of things, but not these.
I suspect that a lot of who you may assume I am has been distorted by right-wing talk shows and other right-wing media content. Whenever Rush talks about the innate nature and character of "liberals" for example, I have no idea who is talking about. Really, I don’t. None of it rings true. He has helped create an intentional, distorted reality of “us vs. them” in my opinion. In his world view, all liberals are evil, they only want power for their own purposes, and they control minorities for their own enrichment. May I tell you? This is all utter hogwash. Now you may not listen to Rush, but the tone he has helped create is pervasive. It is for this reason that I "strike back" at this culture of distortion.
Have a Happy New Year, Dave High

So, you think the picture of liberals depicted by Rush is a false one? Do you think the picture of Republicans as depicted by the Democrats and the media is an accurate one? Which picture do you think is more accurate, and which is having a more harmful impact on our society?
Let me give you a couple of good examples to assist you in formulating your answers. In October 2003, and in the months subsequent, the media -- prodded by folks like Ted Kennedy, Hillary Clinton, and Nancy Pelosi -- made the case to the American people that George Bush and the Republicans were trying to harm seniors by giving them a prescription drug benefit under Medicare. This was all a big payoff for the pharmaceutical companies that, in the end, was going to hurt retirees. Remember?
At the time, my liberal retired parents, and all their liberal retired friends, had totally bought into the Dem/media hyperbole on this issue, and were convinced that this was going to cost them a HUGE amount of money.
Well, here we are virtually 12 months after the program officially went into effect, and over 75 percent of seniors are extremely pleased with the program. Furthermore, it has ended up costing the government less than initially projected. And, my liberal parents, along with all their liberal friends, are totally thrilled by this program. In fact, one of their friends volunteers at a senior center in their area to instruct retirees how to get and apply for this benefit. As a sidebar, this woman voted for Gore, Kerry, and hates George Bush as if he's the devil incarnate.
As such, was the media and the Democrats depiction of Republican motives correct in this regard, or as wrong as it could possibly be?
More recently, the Democrats and the media blamed George Bush for a natural disaster in New Orleans while diverting all possible criticism away from the Democrat mayor of that city and the Democrat governor. Furthermore, although there is ample evidence that Mary Landrieu -- and her Dad before her -- had been corruptly diverting federal funds earmarked for the Army Corps of Engineers to do levee work in the area for many decades, the media totally ignored this.
Think this was an accurate depiction of the president by Democrats and the media? Think this was a fair accounting of what really happened in New Orleans in the decades prior to the disaster and the weeks that followed it?
The reality is, Dave, that in a given week, Rush might have as many as 25 million listeners. However, regardless of what he is saying, that which is regularly spewed by the Democrats and their media accomplices about Republicans and Republican voters is far more damaging to the population and the society than anything Rush is doing. Failure to see this represents a level of myopia that no optometrist or opthalmologist has ever been witness to. :-) ns

December 30, 2006 - 19:42 ET by Andrew H.I don't believe you. I know it matters not whether I believe you--you know the truth and I'll leave it at that. I have seen liberals carrying signs that say such things as, "I support our troops when they shoot their officers." You can say what you want to and how you arrive at your views... but a liberal is typically a cretin with his/her head buried so far up an ass, they can't see the light and know no truth.

As opposed to the Clinton administration which was documented to instigate the murder of dozens of women and children in Waco? Add Ruby Ridge. And let's not forget how Clinton/Reno terrorized Hispanics-one of the Dem's precious minority voting blocs-in Miami while "recovering" Elian Gonzalez. Now which president should I believe is the murderer?

December 31, 2006 - 00:33 ET byI saw Danny boy in circuit city hollywood about 4 years ago, he looked really bad in a hungover sort of way, kinda had the swagger and gait of Popeye the sailor. When i was leaving past the customer service/returns desk he was berating the manager calling him a moron and such. I wanted to stay to see the outcome of this but was late for a meeting and couldn't. i thought he was a violent nut that day and after watching a couple of his shows that is now confirmed, IMO. I think the idiot who interupted his lunch was lucky to walk away from that situation without a broken bone. . NEVER, NEVER trust a drive by president.
I wonder if anyone remembers
December 31, 2006 - 00:55 ET byI wonder if anyone remembers when he took a sucker punch at Donny Osmond, at what was supposed to be a mock fight. I am impressed with him defending the president, but I did not like that he landed Donny. And please don't get me wrong, though I was a fan of Donny when I was a kid, I am no longer. (I cannot respect a man who holds such anti-Christ faith beliefs and thinks he is going to be a god some day.)
Maybe you will be kind enough
December 31, 2006 - 02:10 ET by UnsaneMaybe you will be kind enough to explain what a "drive by president" is. I need something else to shoot down. What, are you angry that Bush isn't personally spoon-feeding, changing and wiping you three times daily?

December 31, 2006 - 02:48 ET byDrove by Katrina, drove by Bin Laden, drove by his generals, drove by the UN, drove by science, drove by Iraq, drove by children left behind, drove by reason and common sense, drove by truth, drove by me you and dupree.
the drive by 7MS just got pulled over by Officer Unsane
December 31, 2006 - 03:25 ET by UnsaneKatrina: interesting how no one will blame the Governor or Mayor for mishandling that situation. Interestingly, I know several people who went through it in MS, and they don't bitch about it nearly as much as people in NO. Why is that, I wonder? Could it be that people and state government in MS just rolled up the sleeves and got to work, instead of doing what you most like to do: that is, sitting on the ground and crying about how government OWES you a full nursing bottle? Also, if you wish to blame Bush 100% for Katrina, he clearly MUST deserve 100% of the credit for emptying out America's fourth largest city due to approach on Rita a month later, yes? (Well, no: I put that on Governor Perry, TxDOT, and the common sense of Texans like myself who invest much time and effort in hurricane preparedness. Galveston 1900, see, was MUCH worse that New Orleans 2005. History can be a bitch, can't it?)
bin Laden: My favorite: So Bush has driven by OBL? I'll be sure to tell some friends of mine currently deployed to Bagram, Kandahar, and Bishkek all about that. They sure would be surprised to hear this.
Second point: what specifically will finding OBL SOLVE beyond bloodlust? You DO realize that someone else who hates America as much as he does WILL take his place, correct? No, you don't. You want OBL caught so that you and your Leftist fellow travelers can loudly declare "WORLD PEACE! Rose gardens are spontaneously bloming EVERYWHERE! I guess we don't need a military now! Let's build the biggest, nicest Nanny State the world has ever known!!!"
Third point: Where were all you Leftists in the 1980s when Abu Nidal was out and about? Were you guys all demanding we stop the Cold War, withdraw from Europe, and invade the Middle East to find Abu Nidal? (Nah. But you WERE demanding we unilaterally withdraw from Europe to show the Soviets just how super-nice we were in the United States.)
It's kind of hard to drive by the generals. Consider the fact that they CAN be fired.
Actually, the UN drove by us. Remember the 16 UN Resolutions? Of course you don't; you and all Leftists find them a tad inconvenient. You should be aware that we could have legally re-commenced hostilities the moment one of our jets patrolling the no-fly zone was "painted" by Iraqi SAM radar. That wouldn't be the first time the UN let the U.S. down? Remember Eldorado Canyon? If you are too young to remember - and I'll bet you are - perhaps you can look it up.
Drove by science? Nah. It was a GREAT thing he removed the U.S. signature from the Kyoto Protocol, if that is what you are referring to. None of you guilt-ridden Leftists can handle the fact that China was exempt from it (why? Have you been there? Do you know how polluted that place is, and that it will be the #1 producer of greenhouse gases in 2015?), along with many other countries, and that all "global warming" seems to be is a extortion/shakedown of the United States. Why aren't those that are so concerned about global warming fully back the increased use of nuclear power, for instance?
Drove by children left behind? Now you are just crying in bumper-sticker Leftist style. I must say though, if the federal government truly cared about children, they would pull the plug on the Department of Education. Less, not more, money (and having people fight over what's left) will make education better. If you don't believe me, then look at our world-beating university system.
Reason and common sense? You mean, like NOT babysitting the American population (Because that is NOT how winning societies get anywhere)? You mean, like following the reasonable, logical, commonsensical Laffer Curve? (I gripe about the spending, but I hang that on everyone inside the Beltway, and on that, I don't give a crap about what party did what; they are all equally to blame.)
Drove by...what truth? Speaking in bumper-stickers again...but again, that's all Leftists seem to be good for in debate.
