Liberalism: Why think when you can “feel”?

Night and Day, “Obama hates genocide” edition

The One of Alternating Stances last night:

Moderator Tom Brokaw asked the candidates what their “doctrine” would be “in situations where there’s a humanitarian crisis, but it does not affect our national security,” such as “the Congo, where 4.5 million people have died since 1998,” or Rwanda or Somalia.

In such cases, answered Obama, “we have moral issues at stake.” Of course the United States must act to stop genocide, he said. “When genocide is happening, when ethnic cleansing is happening . . . and we stand idly by, that diminishes us.“

L’hypocrite supreme last year:

“Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama said Thursday the United States cannot use its military to solve humanitarian problems and that preventing a potential genocide in Iraq isn’t a good enough reason to keep US forces there,” the AP reported on July 20, 2007 …

Translation: Genocide is awful, unless it’s happening to Iraqis,  in which case “Who cares?”  Got it?

What an awful human being!  As Jacoby asks, “What kind of candidate is it whose moral response to genocide – genocide – can reverse itself 180 degrees in a matter of months? Is that the kind of candidate who ought to be the leader of the free world?”  James 3:14 states that “But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, do not be arrogant and so lie against the truth.”  Proverbs 19:5 warns “A false witness will not go unpunished, And he who tells lies will not escape.”  Something tells me that The One isn’t sweating it, and he is a fool for it.

  1. I’ve been out searching the sites for any mention of what I thought should have been the final nail in Obama’s coffin. Alas, McCain didn’t call him out on it and nobody else seems to have noticed. When asked about Russia, The One said:

    “The other thing we have to do, though, is we’ve got to see around the corners. We’ve got to anticipate some of these problems ahead of time.”

    So, if I understand correctly, we must utilize a crystal ball to see that Russia will invade Georgia, and then plead to the UN to stop them before they act? What a bunch of crap! It took him three days to respond to it after it happened!

    Another golden opportunity that McCain tossed away was the final ridiculous question:

    “What don’t you know and how will you learn it?”

    McCain is too busy trying to be nice to say what needs to be said. My response would have been something like:

    “I don’t know how this moron sitting next to me can be this close to a presidential election. Worse, I don’t know the extent of damage his policies will do to our country. Frankly, I hope none of us will have to learn that.”

  2. Translation: Genocide is awful, unless it’s happening to Iraqis, in which case “Who cares?”

    Actually, I think the liberal translation is “only Democrat Presidents can stop genocide. Republican Presidents who try to stop genocide are war criminals.”

    McCain is too busy trying to be nice to say what needs to be said.

    McCain missed several opportunities to wipe the floor with Obama. As one commentator put it “Obama keeps fumbling the ball and McCain keep picking it up and handing it back to him, rather than running with it”.

    “I don’t know how this moron sitting next to me can be this close to a presidential election. Worse, I don’t know the extent of damage his policies will do to our country. Frankly, I hope none of us will have to learn that.”

    TB, I think the McCain camp could use you. I’m convinced he has Obama people on his advisory team.

  3. So now Ballsack intends to remove troops from Iraq where there is at least some semblence of a government to turn the place over to and send them into God forsaken areas of the world where we have NO INTERESTS, where there isnt ANYTHING that can even be called a governing body, and make everybody peacefull and hand it back to WHO. Give it to some warlord and decree him the govt? That worked soooo welll before. Somalia anyone? Ivory Coast maybe?
