Random Nuclear Strikes

There’s blaming the opposing politcal party for the nation’s problems in a logical and sane way.

And then there’s the leftosphere

With unemployment now at 9.4 percent and still rising, it’s understandable that both the White House and voters would be concerned about how effective and rapid the stimulus will be. People are hurting and they need help, especially jobs, now.

But the Times article proceeds to quote disingenuous Republican criticism of the stimulus’ progress without mentioning their party’s destructive role.

Yes, you read those aspersions correctly: The reason The Stimulus isn’t working is because the Republicans opposed it.

According to the report published last February by the Congressional Budget Office, we’d be in the beginning of a slow recovery today without The Stimulus. But thanks to the Pelosi/Reid Congress, we’re sinking faster.

Do try to not punch the next Keynesian you see in the face. Like Liberalism, it is a mental disease.

I’m guessing that since deserters can’t complete their sworn duties, the sinestra of Bellingham don’t expect them to be able to complete the whole journey to Canada either.

The Bellingham City Council announced that they will hold a community meeting on Monday night to discuss the possibility of the city becoming a “sanctuary city” for soldiers who have gone absent without leave, or AWOL.

According to the Bellingham Herald: “Members of the G.I. Sanctuary City Movement, a group started by Western Washington University students, has offered up a resolution that would order city law enforcement not to detain military members who are absent without leave.”

In a live interview on the Dave Ross show Whatcom County Republican Party chairwoman, Luanne Van Werven, said she will be attending the meeting in opposition to the student group, “The patriotic citizens of Bellingham are making no such call for legal protection for AWOL soldiers. It’s just a small group of college students, and that is certainly not a gauge of citizen support.”

Van Werven said that local governments should not be undermining federal law, noting that, “We have a volunteer army and there are ways that a person can get out of the military without deserting.”

This is a purely Western Washington University (aka: Evergreen of the North) student driven idea and was only accepted as an idea to appease their relentless requests for a hearing.

I would put money down that, if asked, only a small fraction of these moonbats would personally house the deserters for fear of losing their educational grants and loans that allow them to waste the city’s time with this pap.
