I admit it, I don't like Karl Rove and almost everything that comes out of his cynical little mouth. If he is the brains behind the Republican party operation they're headed off of a steep political cliff. With that being said, I do admire his chutzpah, unapologetically saying things as inane as he does,

'Conservatives saw the savagery of 9/11
in the attacks and prepared for war;
liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks
and wanted to prepare indictments and offer
therapy and understanding for our attackers.'


Let me first say that this liberal, if I was so inclined, could slap Rove so hard his therapy needing head would spin around his little pencil neck. I would never do such a thing, not because I realize that it wouldn't get me anywhere or make me feel any better but the crisis of our President being advised by a moron would not be radically improved. On the contrary, the slap would probably damage many of the few precious brain cells that Karl needs to desperately hold on to.

But Karl's strategy of not apologizing for uttering statements that are not based in reality is a good one.

Let's look at the situation through the lens of logic. Karl makes a statement that is so asinine that only the most loyal of right wing talking heads would consider it profound. It's so outrageously simple minded and contradictory to reality that it begs for 'outrage' from liberals like myself. But I won't entertain such garbage and I beg of you my liberal brethren, do not fall for this distractionary tactic.

You see Karl has advised his buddy George to get the American people into a war based on false pretenses, that was never winnable and that has inspired an entirely new generation of Muslim people, that now have legitimate grievances, to radicalize for the sake of their perceived self-defense. Lately these truths have been making their way to the American public's ears and eyes. We saw glimmers of it in the Downing Street Memos and reports of an illegal and secret air campaign taking place before congress authorized war.

Karl's behavior is perfectly understandable under the circumstances. He's scared to death that the American people are going to wake up to the news that George W. Bush lied this country into a war that has caused the deaths, maimings and injuries of thousands and thousands of people without reason. And this is what really gives him cold sweats at night, he's worried that the American people are going to ask why we attacked a country that had no connections to Al-Queda, no WMD, didn't threaten us and had nothing to do with 9-11, when we had unfinished business with those that DID attack us.

So don't fall for the distraction by engaging the stupidity of the argument. Stand tall and unapologetically speak loudly and truthfully and feel comforted that if Karl won't apologize for speaking lies, we shouldn't apologize for speaking the truth. And the truth should be spoken whenever there's an opportunity, like when a chickenhawk squawks.

SOPA protestor

It's official. Nobody likes SOPA, at least not outside of Hollywood and the recording industry.

Each of the leading presidential candidates has come out against the controversial Stop Online Piracy Act and its companion Protect IP Act in recent days, including President Barack Obama and his administration.

Obama and the field of Republican presidential hopefuls, in varying degrees, say the legislation would infringe on freedom of expression and undermine a free Internet. Their opposition signaled a substantial erosion of support for PIPA and SOPA, which have since been shelved.
