The world is getting a taste of war. Not the lawyer kind the US Army is forced to fight, where combatants pretend to be civilians, where churches, mosques and schools are protected armories and our troops have to come under fire before locking and loading.

No, it’s the other kind of war, which our enemies fight. The one where tanks blow holes in homes and kill anything moving in front of them. So what if the tanks grind the bodies to burger as they punch forward for more blood.
This is the kind of war where the bombs are dropped on the towns, then the civilian deaths are blamed on the other side. Why not, the ACLU, Code Pink, the assorted other goofy lefties are not going to speak out on this carnage because the good guys are doing it!
An enormous lack of feck on the part of the anti-war crowd.

What have you heard from the MSM about this civilian slaughter? Yeah, they dropped some bombs. No screaming ledes like Women and children targeted, collateral damage extremely high from Russian attacks. Tanks shell homes as families flee. Where are those grabbers?

Is Obama looking back at a powerful USSR as the time of everything good? When this country was in a struggle with evil? We know the past eight years are not the time, for he has so said. He wasn’t around for the Great Depression so that era is out also.

Obama never has spoken to how well the Iron Curtain worked to keep the western people from rushing in to luxuriate in that splendid socialist state, the USSR. Recreation of those rosy years will contain the wonders like “The Ministry for State security” food shortages, gulags, Trabants, pollution, worthless money, internal passports, and state TV. Many more hearts desires too, I’m sure.

Solzhenitsyn can start spinning in his grave while he’s still fresh.

If Obama is a new kind of politician, you could have fooled me. With the polls tightening, he’s decided that a little bit of oil drilling might not be such a bad thing after all:

“If, in order to get that passed, we have to compromise in terms of a careful, well thought-out drilling strategy that was carefully circumscribed to avoid significant environmental damage - I don’t want to be so rigid that we can’t get something done.”

That, ladies and gentlemen, is exactly what Congressional Republicans have been arguing for, but when The One says it, the media treats it like it’s manna from heaven. Of course, the Times carefully avoids mentioning that Barack’s Party is stonewalling any compromise on drilling in Congress–including turning off the lights and cameras. Must have slipped their minds.

Plus, the Times says Obama’s “shift” is a sign of “political pragmatism” and not a flip-flop. Wonder how they’d call it were McCain on the other end of the issue?
