We need another 9/11, but not the kind you’re proposing Mr. Bykofsky

Stu Bykofsky

Stu Bykofsky’s, “To save America, we need another 9/11” is a classic example of the dumbing down of America.

In the most illogical exercise of pseudo problem solving since Senator Obama’s claim that he would withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq and then attack Afghanistan, Bykofsky opines that another 9/11 would unify the country again just like the days immediately following the infamous terrorist attack on America, but this fallacious fantasizing and selective memory is typical of what is wrong with this country.

Bykofsky says:

[I’m] sick of how splintered we are politically - thanks mainly to our ineptitude in Iraq - that we have forgotten who the enemy is.

Mr. Bykofsky way before 9/11 we were a politically splintered Nation you remember the Red state, Blue state divide that was being reported on during the 2000 elections? Enemy lines in America were drawn then much before the events of 9/11 or the war in Iraq!

This country had just gone through one of the most divisive elections in recent history. Al Gore reneged on his election night concession to George W. Bush thereby unleashing a partisan war in this country the likes which only differs from the American Civil War in that the bodies that were spewed across the American landscape were political bodies not the actual physical bodies of the original war that divided this Nation.

It is not the Iraq war which divides this nation it is the political partisan infighting that divides this nation and changed forever the way we do and view politics today. Gore and Democrats took this country on the most politically destructive course imaginable and along the way they made it their business to cast doubt upon the American election process by declaring that process fraudulent. As well some on the left, by association or by direct accusation declared an American President illegitimate.

We have had almost 12 years of this kind of political drama that is why we don’t know who the enemy is if you are a Democrat your party tells you that your enemy is a Republican. That is what started this divided nation!

What Bykofsky over looks is that 9/11 was just a brief respite in the middle of political anarchy that American partisan politics had just begun to evolve into not some mystical healing occasion for the Nation.

As proof of that, not days after that most tragic event Democrats where back at it blaming the President for not reacting and responding with appropriate command at the terrorist threat.

Bykofsk’s simplistic analysis misses that point all together. No disaster, political or natural, will bring America together again after the trauma of Al Gore’s Chadgate and the subsequent Supreme Court intervention that Chadgate caused.

An intervention, by the way, that derailed the Left’s attempt to force the Democrat Party on the people of the United States, as so many other leftist causes had previously been put upon the people. The left has forced every other one of their causes ranging from the illegitimate claim of separation of church and state to the “homosexual agenda” for constitutional rights to human caused global warming, the left has forced its agenda on the America people through the very courts a.

Another disaster will not fix this divide Mr. Bykofsky. Katrina didn’t, Rita didn’t, the felled bridge in Minneapolis didn’t, and another 9/11 won’t. The only thing that will bring this country together again is rejection of those who practice the partisan politics of personal destruction.

And just who is practicing such politics? Just listen to the debates and when you hear Bush bashing or the pronouncement that the war is lost or failed or wrong, you will more than likely find at the end of those politically charged statements a partisan that is the reason that this country is so divided.

You what to be like Europe? France and Italy recently elected Conservatives rejecting the Liberal ideology that had dominated those countries for years.

You what another 9/11 Mr. Bykofsky then let the country reject the partisan liberals that are in Congress and then let them elect a strong Conservative majority in the Senate and House, you want another 9/11, then reject the liberals who are campaigning for the Democratic nomination for President and lets all vote for a Republican for President.

I can see it now Republicans take control and both the House and Senate and a Republican President, and all liberals on the ground all across the blue states in the fetal position crying, “What happen another 9/11?”

Just drop the liberalism, you don't have to drop another bomb!

Partisan Nation

Republican vs. Democrat Protestors

Whose side are you on? You’re either with us or you’re with the terrorists. Terrorists in this case would be the Democrats or the Republicans depending upon which party you are affiliated with.

If you are a Democrat the Republicans are the terrorist and if you are a Republican the Democrats are the terrorist. Why? Because you are an Ultra-Partisan and this is a Partisan Nation. It doesn’t matter who’s to blame for it the reality of it is we are at war with ourselves. A very acrimonious “Uncivil” war if you will.

We are in the midst of a partisan war in our nation’s capitol but unlike the war in Iraq Democrats have no intentions of cutting and running, no, Democrats have launched this war and they are in it to win it!

Leaders are instructing Democratic lawmakers to blitz their states with anti-Bush messages as the Senate gears up for an all-night debate on Iraq withdrawal, according to an internal memo provided to The Politico by a Democratic official.—Mike Allen, The politico

You remember the all night Senate debates which were designed to draw attention to the fact that Democrats wanted troops to withdrawal from Iraq don’t you? Of course you do.

Would it surprise you if I told you that it was a staged political partisan event meant to weaken Republican support for the war in Iraq? Naw you wouldn’t be surprised.

According to the Politico Senator Harry Reid’s office issued the following, “We need every Senator’s help throughout the next two days to amplify our message and highlight Republican obstructionism,” says the memo from the Senate Democratic Communications Center, part of the office of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (Nev.). “This is a caucus-wide effort and your help is needed.”

It’s not like the Democrats didn’t employee the same obstructionist methods for twelve years when they were in the minority. In fact they are so successful at it that the 109th Congress was named the “Do nothing Congress.” And guess who named them that? That’s right the Democrats did!

But according to a George Washington University Battleground Poll the American people are tired of all of this partisan wrangling and are growing cynical about government and politicians of both Parties.

U.S. voters are growing cynical about politics as the newly Democratic Congress has been unable to fulfill promises made. Promise which got Democrats elected into the majority of both houses of Congress.

A new direction was promised by Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. But with their highly charged brand of partisan and divisive politics they have not been able to deliver on their promises sadly it has been more of the same strident and off-putting polarization with nothing being accomplished.

In the Battleground Poll 71 percent of those surveyed saying their member of Congress put partisan politics ahead of voters' actual concerns.

93 percent of voters' surveyed said members of Congress put partisan politics first.

A record 70 percent said the country was on the wrong track and the bipartisan poll found that 52 percent of the 1,000 likely voters surveyed disapproved of the job Democrats were doing in Congress this year.

Republicans measured a 61 percent disapproval rating. The same number said they disapproved of President George W. Bush's job performance, though 57 percent said they approved of him as a person.

In electoral matchups Democrats were only supported by 49 percent saying they would vote for the Democratic candidate for president if the election were held today, while 38 percent said they would vote for the Republican candidate.

In congressional races, 47 percent said they would vote for the Democrat, while 40 percent said they would vote for the Republican.

But respondents preferred leading Republican candidate Rudy Giuliani over leading Democrat Hillary Clinton 49 percent to 44 percent. Clinton tied with likely Republican candidate Fred Thompson at 46 percent each.

Democrat Barack Obama fared better against Republicans, beating Giuliani 52 percent to 42 percent and beating Thompson 56 percent to 35 percent.
The survey had a margin of error of 3 percent.

Partisan politics has divided this nation into two polar opposes and depending on which side you vote from determines who you blame for the worst Congressional relations in American history.

This perhaps is the worst Congress ever it is not what the Democrats promised but ironically it is a different direction, a direction that only worsens with every partisan fight.

If only we could replace our troops in Iraq with the representatives in Congress who want to fight Partisan wars.

You think we’d be winning in Iraq then? Pelosi, Reid, Clinton and Murtha want to command the troops from Washington D.C. why don’t they take their fighting acumen to the front lines?

We’d surely win the war then wouldn’t we? Clinton did say she was in it to win it. Just think if that attitude was used deployed when thinking about our troops in Iraq.
Not only would we be able to bring our service people home, we would be able to bring them home victorious!

To bad the furious fighting that has engulfed D.C. can not be transferred to the battle grounds of Iraq along with the slogan, “The United States of America is in it to win it!”

And after we’ve won we bring the boys home victorious!
One thing’s for certain there should be a lot of incumbent Senators and Congresspersons looking for work after 2008 because Americans are tried of nothing but partisanship all of the time.

We didn’t vote anyone into office to make fellow Americans the enemy. And when you target the President and your colleagues from across the aisle that is exactly what you’ve done.

If fighting is what you do best do it on your own time or enlist. We need people who will stop at nothing to win this war. Sounds like a job for our Congressional leaders and a few of the Presidential candidates.
