help me spank this twisted GOPUSA columnist

Argh! This columnist spins the "bring 'em on" remark into a frenzy of Bush adulation. I spanked him, and I hope you will, too.


Bring It On, Mr. President!
By Doug Patton
July 7, 2003

"Bring 'em on!"

With that one little phrase, President George W. Bush has set liberals clucking their tongues like they haven't clucked since Ronald Reagan called the former Soviet Union an evil empire.

Was this really an appropriate remark for the leader of the free world? Didn't this amount to a taunt of America's enemies to attack our troops? One Democrat presidential candidate even said that it sounded more like a comment from a gang leader than the President of the United States.

Of course, the term "cowboy" is again being heard across the land. Well, cowboys are quintessentially American, and like most Americans, I love it when my president talks like that. It gives me confidence that he is not playing games with those who would do harm to my country. We know exactly where he stands, and so do our enemies, just as they did with Reagan. Also, like most Americans, I have not forgotten Sept. 11 of two years ago.

Let us consider the full text of the president's remarks. Facing an increasingly hostile media, all wanting to know why our personnel are still being killed in Iraq, Bush said:

"Anybody who wants to harm American troops will be found and brought to justice," Bush said. "There are some who feel like that if they attack us, that we may decide to leave prematurely. They don't understand what they're talking about, if that's the case. My answer is, 'Bring 'em on.' We've got the force necessary to deal with the security situation."

That sounds reasonable to me. But to the erudite snobs of the privileged left, who sip their cocktails at their east and west coast parties and lament the loss of civility toward America's enemies, I'm just a Midwestern male with more testosterone than brains. They, of course, long for the appeasement of Bill Clinton and the malaise of Jimmy Carter, so I leave it to you, the reader, to decide whose thinking is more rational.

Much more tripe at the link:

1. I wrote this to him

Sir:

I was most gratified to read of your enlistment in the U.S. Army to help George W. Bush "bring 'em on" in Iraq. I know that thousands of GIs will welcome your front-line assistance as you stand between them and the snipers and bomb-throwers.

I salute you for your courage and for putting your butt where your mouth is. Not everyone has the guts to back up bravado and swagger with real action.

Have a great tour of duty! Don't stay one day longer than necessary!

2. BTW, it wasn't just "liberals"

who thought Bush's remark was reckless.

3. Forget responding to that paper- write your local editor!!!

Why even bother with a paper only read by Pugs and political junkies- send your feelings to your LOCAL paper ans use your arguments to EDUCATE- not to debate people who will never change their minds...

4. Having more testosterone than brains

is nothing to be proud of. But it would appear to be a true statement, on the face of it.

Damn, I am sick of the "Bush makes my panties wet" crowd. Geez.

5. Wrong Words

Had a Democrat said this, the "liberal" media would have been all over them
On the other hand, no Democrat is so stupid as to say something like this.
