A liberal nut has gone to court in Minneapolis to ask that President George Bush be arrested for war crimes when he comes to Minnesota for the Republican convention later this year.

What really makes this story particularly interesting is one of the claims that the petitioner makes. The liberal, Ed Felien, makes the following claims about the President:

(President Bush) has fraudulently represented a war against Iraq as essential for our national interests when in reality the war only benefits his private interests. With his Saudi friends he has cornered the supply of oil and raised prices. And through his longtime family contacts with the CIA and the Mafia he has arranged for the transporting of heroin into Hennepin County.

You read it right. This liberal who believes that Bush lied and is guilty of war crimes believes that the President is responsible for transporting heroin into Minnesota.

What bothers me is not just the fact that this liberal is wasting court time and taxpayer money on his absurd claim of war crimes (and other offenses like the heroin thing), but that this guy is representative of the thinking of liberals everywhere. No logic, no basis in reality, but very typical of liberal thought.

Why should anyone give any credibility to what liberals say when they think like this?

Story

It looks like the days are numbered for that murderer Ted Kennedy.

Kennedy, a Democratic Party Senator from Massachusetts, killed a young woman in 1969. He was driving drunk when his car went off a bridge. Kennedy, a typical liberal, was only concerned for his own well-being and left his passenger Mary Jo Kopechne to die. I’ll never understand why Kennedy wasn’t charged and put in prison where he belonged.

Ted Kennedy was one of the most liberal Senators. And as is typical of liberals, he was a total and complete fraud.

Kennedy lived a life of wealth and privilege. He lived off his daddy’s money. His father, Joseph Kennedy, amassed a fortune as the result of criminal enterprise. The elder Kennedy was a liquor bootlegger and stock market manipulator. Ted Kennedy always spoke out on behalf of the poor, but never hesitated to enjoy the luxuries that his dirty money could provide him.

Teddy had a couple of seizures last week. Today it was reported that he has a malignant (cancerous) brain tumor, with a poor prognosis. He’s 76-years-old, so it isn’t as if he hasn’t lived a full life, because he has. He is at the end of his life expectancy, anyway, unlike Mary Jo Kopechne, who died at the youthful age of 28 at the hand of Ted Kennedy.

Ted Kennedy: you rot in hell you murdering hypocrite pig.

Do you think Ted Kennedy will apologize for murdering that woman? Or does he lack a conscience like most liberals?

Political journalists and Democratic Party bigwigs have been ratcheting up the pressure on Hillary Clinton to quit the race so their favored candidate, Barack Obama, can become the nominee. After this week’s votes in Indiana and North Carolina, Hillary trails Obama by 156 delegates, making it pretty much impossible for her to catch up without significant support from super delegates, which is becoming less likely with each passing day.

But why should Hillary quit? This has been her dream for years and the entire reason she put up with her husband’s cheating ways the past three decades. She’s been drawing a majority of the white vote. Given that whites still make up almost 70% of the population, that is definitely an advantage that her opponent does not have and something that will be critical come November.

Even hardened Conservatives like me who dislike Hillary with a passion feel that her desire to fight on makes her more worthy of respect than she otherwise would have been. We don’t like people who give up easily. We like people who struggle to overcome the obstacles, even if they fail in the process, and we give them credit for trying. Those are basic values that Conservatives appreciate, unlike Democrats who love it when people spend their entire lives on welfare.

Does that mean Conservatives will vote for Hillary? No. But, a lot of swing voters may come to her side because of the way she fights for what she believes in. Many may feel that a President who will be a fighter for “change” (a hollow concept) is just what this country needs. And she is clearly demonstrating that she is a fighter. Nobody can argue that.

Hillary definitely needs to draw more distinctions between herself and Obama. She should attack his character. Things like William Ayers, his wife’s $200,000 raise and the $1 million earmark Obama requested for her employer, his real estate deal with Tony Rezko, his $8,000 a month payments from Robert Blackwell Jr. for whom Obama wrote a letter requesting a grant, etcetera.

Obama is a highly flawed candidate. His character can easily be attacked, and it should be, for it is concrete proof of who he is as a person and who he will be as a leader. He is not a uniter. Nor is he an agent for change in Washington. He is another corrupt political hack on the take who has demonstrated that he is for sale to anyone willing to send some cash his way.

Keep fighting, Hillary. I won’t vote for you, but I do have more respect for you than I ever did. Quitters never win, and winners never quit.
