With the news today that the individual we currently have as president is pushing for us to get involved helping out the rebellion in Syria (link at bottom), we see yet again (as in Libya) W Bush-like neo-conservatism rearing its ugly head. And I thunk that under Obama, at least, those days of getting involved in other countries' affairs and trying to effect regime change were over when W the assclown retired to his ranch in Texas at the end of 2008?!? How completely naive of me.But also as with Libya, what really gets my goat is the absolute hypocrisy of the American leftist 20 percenters on this issue. If the neo-con president has an "R" next to his name, those loony freaks will take to the streets in droves to protest foreign involvements. But if a slimeball president instead has a "D" next to his name, they will not only remain silent (hear the crickets chirping from the leftists and their "mainstream" media on this Syria story today), but they will also actually try to defend that so-called president's neo-con course of action to the end (just wait for that the rest of this week)!
The deranged right-winger gop-ers, of course, are little different -- defended W on all his half-ass foreign incursions, but then look to find fault with all of Obama's. I often ask myself: How do these leftists and right-wingers sleep? But I guess they sleep just fine the same way as any garden variety inmate down at the loony bin: A dash of simple-mindedness, combined with a punch of brainwashedness, topped off with a heavy dose of just being plain demented.
