BISHOP IS A SCARY SIGN OF THE TIMES
In Gordon Bishop’s column on the Atlantic Highlands Herald [www.ahherald.com] on JUNE 20 “To Destroy, Bush, Liberal Media Lies About Iraq War” the man goes too far as usual.
Mr. Bishop said, “The rise and fall of the United States of America can be traced directly to liberalism and the liberal media undermining our once great Constitutional Republic.”
I find that hard to believe since Liberals haven’t been in charge of the government since Clinton, and he had a Republican house. So, where have Liberals had their hands on the wheel? And when they were in charge this country had a surplus and not a deficit.
Bishop talks about Iraq and said America’s taxpayers and voters have been brainwashed about the global War on Terror, specifically the war on Iraq. I don’t see how that is possible, since the government pretty much controls the media today.
He said, “What the liberal media purposely forgets to report is that the United Nations was responsible for the disappearance of the so-called ‘Weapons of Mass Destruction.’” Are you for real? The United Nations hid weapons of mass destruction. No sir, I think that’s a lot of nonsense.
“Hundreds of trucks and trains were sighted by satellites leaving Iraq before President Bush could declare war on Iraq because of the UN’s policy regarding dictators. Guess what was in those trucks and trains?” That’s what Mr. Bishop said. But I am more than confident that if Mr. Bush had that piece of information it would have been all over Fox. It hasn’t because it didn’t happen. Pundits under George Bush have taken to more than exaggeration, they’re down to lying.
He said that “Cleaning up the mess in Iraq with suicidal terrorists willing to blow themselves up, along with their own mosques and innocent children, women and men, has been difficult because America and its allies are forced to mass-murdering terrorists under the “rules of war” in the Geneva Convention.” The Geneva Convention was established to help countries by making war crimes illegal. It’s because of war crimes that nations stay in war for centuries. This pact helps to be able to keep a peace after a war is over.
He said that “the rules of war don’t apply to blood-thirsty terrorists.” Well, if the U.S. is fighting a war in another country then our service people must be fighting someone. If they take them prisoner, and the other side can only expect to be killed or tortured then what’s the use of anyone surrendering at all?
He said, “They are fighting a religious war in civilian clothes: Kill all those who won’t convert to Islam and the Koran, including all Americans who they consider ‘infidels.’” Well, actually, according to most polls over in Iraq, people don’t want us there. So, if some people take it to an extreme and start shooting people it’s terrible but Iraqis aren’t “good Americans.” They’re Iraqi and there’s this great big army that’s over there. And, to tell you the truth, I don’t know if that was a good idea in the first place.
The U.S. didn’t help France during the Revolution because we didn’t have the money to do it. Most early founders believed that foreign wars were a bad idea and that we should conserve our resources and strength. Those people called themselves conservatives. I’m not really sure what Mr. Bishop is.
He said, “Liberals better change their anti-religious attitude toward “God, Jesus, prayer, Christmas and anything connected with the Judeo-Christian ethical-moral code of behavior” before they find themselves as the “enemy” of a free society committed to the “rule of law.”
Well, that’s an interesting point. So, everyone better listen to George and not make a ripple on the water because then they’ll become enemies of the state…is that it? That doesn’t sound like a great idea. I’ve heard Hitler talked a lot like that. Only instead of talking about Germans, Bishop is naming presidents that didn’t believe in the nonsense he’s talking about.
He said “Liberals have become the enemy of “rule of law” contained in our Constitution. The Greek philosopher Plato was right: Democracy (liberalism) leads to anarchy, which is “Mob Rule.” And that’s where America is headed if liberalism prevails in our socio-economic-political system.”
Well, Plato wasn’t American and his ideas weren’t incorporated into our country. Guys like John Locke and Thomas Payne said a lot of good things, though, and maybe Mr. Bishop should look them up.
He said: “America became infected with liberalism in the 20th Century, led by President Franklin Roosevelt and his Marxist “New Deal,” which violated the U.S. Constitution and created a society of illegal “entitlements” that have made the people more and more dependent on bigger and bigger government for their survival.”
Franklin Roosevelt won the Second World War. Under his terms of office, this country went from a depression to the greatest power in the world. I don’t see the problem.
“Bush believes in freedom, liberty and opportunity for everyone, with a work ethic, can be the best they can be by not becoming a helpless ward of the State.”
Does he mean “helpless,” like hopelessly in debt, caught up in so many wars around the planet that if a country like North Korea or Iran did want to fight then there’d be a lot of good questions about how we’re going to do it? That kind of helpless?
He said, “Conservatism breeds independent individuals with a work ethic and strong motivational aspirations.” Well, that’s strange because the only people getting a living out of this war are Bush’s old companies and their affiliates. He sent all of our jobs overseas and now he wants to let every immigrant in the world into the country to finish off the economy.
I don’t care how many awards Mr. Bishop has won. He is entitled to his opinions. But in his ideal world, and the world of his right wing friends, my ideas would be banned and outlawed. I would probably be in a camp somewhere for writing this column, being tortured until I started to spout the garbage he’s saying or I’d be dead in a hole someplace after digging my own grave. Yeah, I can do without that kind of freedom and without Mr. Bush’s.
The founders didn’t believe in the nonsense he’s talking about. No one with their head screwed on straight does.
