Saturday Morning Confusion! Or, damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!

I had done a whole expose' on the Right Wing, and was now flailing away at the Left when it seems I got sidetracked and somehow started picking on the Right Wing again!

I think part of this has to do with the fact that I subconsciously realize that the Far Left is silly and stupid and misguided, but the Far Right is actually dangerous!

You see, it doesn't matter what the Democrats do or say, the Republicans are against it!

What the Democrats suggest could make a lot of sense!

Could be good for the country!

Could even have been a Republican idea that the Democrats adopted!

Doesn't matter bunky!

As soon as the Democrats say something, the Republicans will say the opposite!

Hell, they even said some stuff recently that was completely nonesensical and idiotic, but they said it anyway because it was the opposite of what the democrats proposed!

Really!

Just a knee jerk reaction: "If they're for it........we're agin it!"

The latest thing to set me off on a rant was Republican chairman Michael Steele when he tried to link Obama to the war in Afghanistan!

That's right, he got himself into such a state of denial that he said the first thing that came to mind no matter what the truth was!

Seems Steel was talking about how bad the war in Afghanistan was so it just seemed to be a natural to say it was Obama's fault! And if it was Obama's fault..... he must have been the one to start it!!!!!!

"If he's such a student of history, has he not understood that, you know, that's the one thing you don't do is engage in a land war in Afghanistan?

All right?

Because everyone who's tried, over a thousand years of history, has failed," Steele said.

"And there are reasons for that. There are other ways to engage in Afghanistan."

"This was a war of Obama's choosing," Steele said. "This is not something the United States has actively prosecuted or wanted to engage in."

(How's that for spouting off without thinking?)

As criticism swelled, Steele issued a statement stressing his support for U.S. troops, but he did not acknowledge his factual error about a war launched by former President George W. Bush in response for the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

Conservative Bill Kristol, writing for The Weekly Standard, was among the first to say Steele should resign.

"There are, of course, those who think we should pull out of Afghanistan, and they're certainly entitled to make their case," wrote Kristol, a consistent supporter of the Afghanistan war. "But one of them shouldn't be the chairman of the Republican Party."

Republican officials confirmed Steele made the comments at a Connecticut fundraiser, which was closed to the news media. The remarks, at odds with members of the Republican Party, were caught on camera and posted on the Internet.
