This is a follow up to yesterday’s blog entry.
Despite what the likes of Democrat Senator and campaign lightweight Barrack Obama and failed 2004 Democrat Vice Presidential nominee, former Senator, rich socialist and ambulance chaser John Edwards thinks about America’s international role, that being one that has been diminished, the facts state otherwise.
Since the onset of the Iraq War, the American Left has enjoyed reminding anyone and everyone who will listen to them that America has lost in the international community, how President Bush is an embarrassment and other countries are laughing at us. How we have screwed up so badly that it will take decades to repair international relations. Just like everything that is hurled from the Left’s side of the aisle, these assertions are exaggerated and your author dare states that in many cases they are outright lies. Truth and consequence is not priority for the Left, imagery, intent and fluff rule the day.
Reader here is a rundown of several foreign presidents and prime ministers that either support President Bush, admire his tenure in office or still hold America in high regard. The American Left, the ever tolerant intolerant confused gaggle of misfits, has yet to label these figures as neo cons. Here is the list representing much of the world or the regions of world, where according to the American Left and the big media machine America has lost face.
* Canadian Conservative Party member Stephen Harper became Prime Minister after his party swooped a major victory in 2006. Harper is described as a no nonsense type of a guy, intolerant towards terrorists, favors tax cuts and is a Bush ally, of course that infuriates the American Left.
* Australia’s beloved Prime Minister John Howard who has stated that if the Democrats take back the entire Congress and the White House that the terrorists will win, which is something we in America need to hear from our own.. The Liberal Party member, which is the country’s conservative party as opposed to the left leaning Labor Party, joined America as a member of the Allied Forces in the Iraq War. Currently Australia is more American than America! In 2004 Howard led a Liberal Party victory and in a historical move began his third term as Prime Minister. He opposes gay marriage and supports capitalism and has no problem speaking his mind.
* Angela Merkel, Chancellor of Germany and member of the conservative Christian Democratic Union Party. Mrs. Merkel is pro free economy, pro deregulation and pro business owner’s rights. She shares a similar vision with that of President Bush and others that will be listed. In 2005 she produced a crushing defeat against anti-Bush chancellor Gerhard Schroeder. She is often compared to the UK’s former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
* The UK’s Tony Blair, who will be retiring soon following a decade long tenure, was praised in the media machine during the Clinton Administration yet is now more likely to be referred to as a Bush lapdog. He has steadfastly maintained his allegiance with Bush. His likely replacement will be Gordon Brown, who has vowed to maintain good relations with the US and President Bush.
* Japan’s previous prime minister Junricho Koizumi (2001-06) and the current Shinzo Abe are pro Bush, pro American, pro free economy, pro deregulation and proactive against radical Islamic terrorists. Time and time again the New York Times predicted defeat for Koizumi and his Liberal Democrat Party, yet they were proven wrong every time.
* President Alvaro Uribe Velez of Colombia has been pro Bush, pro America and pro free markets since his ascension in 2002. He took on the guerilla groups that are funded by drug cartels and watched as crime statistics dropped to historical lows. Currently several pro Uribe lawmakers are embroiled in a domestic scandal. Senator Patrick Leahy, Democrat from Vermont, is threatening to hold up $52 million in foreign aide that would be directed towards Colombia’s army. If Leahy and others manage to stop the funding, America will lose their only ally in South America.
And now France, oh yes the country of civility and their city of lights! The country that was held up by the American Left for their tolerance, unwillingness to become involved in combating radical Muslim terrorists while riots popped up around them and celebration over their universal healthcare-the model of successful socialism. This example of nirvana and anti Bush, anti America culture has gone and elected a center to right man named Nicolas Sarkozy. More importantly they chose him over a female candidate! Using the American Left’s logic (think Senator Clinton) ‘France isn’t ready for a woman leader’.
After compiling this list of international leaders and having proven the American Left is wrong with their ‘saving face’ claims, your author began to think of leaders that fit the Left’s criteria. The criteria being a leader that has been clear about their thoughts on the Bush Administration, those thoughts being that Bush is a fool, wreckless and incompetent. He came up with three that would be considered vocal enough with their objections. The list contains Kim Jong Il of North Korea, communist leader Hugo Chavez of Venezuela and Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Need your author continue?
