Applesauce
Pat Cunningham offers an unabashedly liberal perspective on national politics. A note of caution: The language gets a litttle salty on some of the sites to which this blog links. So, don’t say you weren’t warned. By the way, this blog’s name is inspired by the Will Rogers quote, “All politics is applesauce.”

One of John McCain’s blunders in this campaign has been to allow Barack Obama to OUTFLANK him on the right on the question of pursuing Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda.

    I believe the proper avian reference term should be “Ostrich-ish” (although flightless) .

    The idea that the Ostrich buries it’s head in the sand, however, is a myth (it would suffocate). When an ostrich senses danger and cannot run away, it flops to the ground and remains still, with its head and neck flat on the ground in front of it. Because the head and neck are lightly colored, they blend in with the color of the soil. From a distance, it just looks like the ostrich has buried its head in the sand, because only the body is visible.

    I think that describes what we’ll see from Obama, as President, fairly accurately.

    Who said: “Congressmen who willfully take actions during wartime that damages morale and undermine the military are saboteurs and should be arrested, quickly tried and hanged”

    Anyone? Who? You..sir, in the back…..I’m sorry, could you please speak up? I can’t hear……yes. Yes, sir, that is correct. President Abraham Lincoln did. And, Clement Vallandigham found Lincoln meant it, the hard way.

    That was a long time ago, though, back when America had this silly notion to support her troops. We don’t teach those outdated insensitive ideals like that in our schools anymore. Thank God for people like William Ayers and Dr. Khalid al-Mansour teaching in our colleges, and giving our students the gift of their anti-America rhetoric and responsibility-free base in what they call free thought.

    I always wondered, though……..if they hate America so much, why live here? They have the means to leave………
