Intellectuals?

How is it that liberal “intellectuals” fail to see the irony of their simplistic view of “Red-State” America?

Arafat Summed Up

Charles Krauthammer notes Arafat’s legacy.

An Evil Man

Yasir Arafat was an evil man. He ordered American diplomats, held hostage by his terrorists, killed. He condoned child suicide bombers and attacks on elementary schools. His terrorist organization, Black September, murdered athletes in the Munich Olympic games. He was an enemy to humanity.

Yet world leaders still have a difficult time calling evil for what it is.

The President of France called Arafat "a man of courage"; proving again the word must not mean the same thing in French. Former President Jimmy Carter, lacking courage, can only euphemistically describe Arafat as a "Powerful human symbol and a forceful advocate"; one can't get more "forceful" than cold-blooded murder. Even President Bush asked God to "Bless his soul", having more faith in the redemption of the unrepentant soul then I do.

The truth is, Arafat was simply a murderer.

Francis Peak Endorses Bush

There never was a time during this election cycle that I considered voting for anyone other than George Bush. President Bush's values closely match mine. I wish I could say the same for any of the Democrats who tried their hand for the nomination.

Key values:

President Bush is not afraid to publicly oppose abortion
President Bush is not afraid to make a stand for the sanctity of marriage
President Bush understands the war against terrorism is a war
- He is the first president to attack head-on states that sponsor terrorism
President Bush stands firm on his convictions
