Why do Republicans think we should all have short term memory?

This implies that there is no middle ground between “doing nothing” and absolute all out invasion of a foreign country on false pretenses. The is of course a huge middle ground in our foreign policy responses to various crisis. I suppose around here you’re either W (invading Iraq on false pretenses) or you are Chamberlain?

Or, you are Dave, and incapable of following a thread.

I followed the thread (and its creeping) just fine. It starts with a rant about Republicans, migrates through their dis-satisfaction with Obama’s response to Iran, and quickly moves to Chamberlain and “Do nothing” as if we are suddenly now blundering badly in our foreign policy that evil will spread throughout the world because of our inaction. I followed the thread, but the link from A to B was so weak it needed to be pointed out.

Back to the subject of the thread. Our current President has so many messes to clean up, its hardly the place of the party that created most of those messes to chirp about how poorly he’s doing in cleaning them all up, or how fast. They really do expect us to have a short term memory. We’ll see if we really are better off in four years… after six months we’re still feeling the Bush hangover, while some folks are chanting “have another beer”. Unless its war or a tax cut for the rich, it really has become the party of no.

[quote=luchabee]Liberal policies are predicated on the idea that American businesses are what they once were, but with globalism, we really don’t have much anymore. So, like GM and California, liberals have killed our competitiveness and the nation as a whole is next. In sum, globalism would have turn us into England inevitably (no significant manufacturing base, etc.), but liberalism helped to get us there a whole lot quicker.[/quote]

Laff.

Clinton left his knee pads in the White House along with specific instructions on how the Chinese like it best. Bush strapped ’em on and went to work. U.S. Corporate interests provided the music and breath mints, as always. Obama has already sent half (seemingly) of his cabinet to China, and I don’t think they were there to see the Great Wall. If you need help connecting the dots, look at the historical trade deficit numbers and which U.S. corporations profit from a cheap labor pool.

There is no discernable difference between the world trade policies of the Clinton, Bush, and Obama administrations–“conservative” vs. “liberal” just doesn’t enter into it. Follow the money.

[quote=Casca]Or as that fellow Burke said some time ago, “For evil to triumph only requires that good men do nothing.”

Our wealth as a nation, coupled with a relativist zeitgeist has allowed the elevation of muddle-headed emoting to pass for actual thought. Add to this an ersatz edutocracy, and we have far too many citizens incapable of discerning the difference.[/quote]

Congratulations on the new thesaurus.

I think you’re trying to say anyone who doesn’t see things your way isn’t very bright.

Am I close?
