WWI led to WWII, just as Rocky I led to Rocky II-XXVII. Everybody knows we won Cold War I by tricking the Soviets into destabilizing their economy in a pointless arms race and colonial adventuring in Afghanistan. GHWButch took credit, but everyone knows St. Roland Reagan made Gorbachev mess his drawers when he told him to tear down that wall.
Folks never imagined we'd be in Cold War II, and most never imagined we'd lose. But who thought Rocky and Apollo Creed would fight to a draw in Rocky II?
Everybody is saying it's already over, like Newsbleak and Lush Rimblaugh, and they're acting like it's Obama's fault. But who lost Cold War II? Who over-extended the economy letting the Wall Street commissars do their own thing? Who over-extended the government by wiping out a surplus and running up an $8 trillion debt, saying all the time "deficits don't matter."? Who got us involved in colonial adventuring over dubious motives ("He tried to kill my daddy")? Who acted like free trade was the 12th commandment until we're down to our Dr. Denton's and a barrel?
If free trade is the 12th commandment, what's the 11th?
ReplyDeleteReagan brought down the tablet with the 11th commandment: Thou shalt not criticize Republicans in a primary.
ReplyDeleteOf course, while claiming the Reagan mantle, all the GOSPers are shoulding all over each other.
