What Do You Get

When you cross a bulldog with a ballet dancer?

A mismatch, or a biatch slap ... perhaps.

Look for the video h/t The Political Teen.

Now wait a second, Dan. This is Christopher Hitchens. He may be on our side in this particular issue but he is BY NO MEANS a conservative now. Look at these awful remarks made in an essay about President Ronald Reagan just last year. Not only was it snide criticism of the best president America has ever had, they came while his family was still mourning!!!

I don't care if Christopher HItchens can win an argument by interrupting a homosexual ballet dancer. He is NOT someone I as a conservative ever want to be identified with.

Thank you, Wilson. I'm well aware of Christopher's past ad politics ... but he's always more right on the terrorism issue than are some conservatives IMO.

Well, it proves that our policy in Iraq is the correct one when a Reagan hater who still won't completely repudiate Marxism (he always sidesteps where he stands economically when asked "are you conservative now?" in interviews.

But this essay about President Reagan was written LAST YEAR, Dan!!! What a nasty character assassination of a great man who had JUST DIED!

Nobody is going to convince me to like Hitchens.

I understand Wilson. I admire his grit given what he is ... though I disagree with him on much, I always respect someone for saying what they believe. And on the Terrorism issue, he is incredibly well informed.

Not many outside of America really ever really understood Reagan, in part because he was so "American."

OK folks. I'm as left as it gets on most things, in fact I'm a genuine socialist, with a very conservative outlook on foreign policy, terrorism, immigration and crime and punishment issues.

Don't get hung up on Christopher Hitchens. More than anything else he and his brother (who is as conservative as Chris is left) both are miserable alcoholics who come from a wealthy English family where the main political tendency is emotional abusiveness more than any sincere commitment to political ideals.

They're like a low-rent Mitfords, without any of the looks or charm.

The single best thing Chris Hitchens did in his life is to help popularize the term "islamofascist."

The Nation has always had a penchant for hiring annoying upper class twits who have the luxury of deciding which class they want to side with.

Natalee case: One of the supermarket tabloids is stating that one of the cell phone conversations had a voice saying "Are you phoning home?"

I have missed the info on Lorenzo. Recent postings refer to him once again as having been implicated by someone in the Natalee case. Can someone tell me who Lorenzo is?

I don't know what the big deal is. Chris Hitchens and Ron Reagan Jr? Give me a break. If Ron Reagan Jr. weren't such an intellectual lightweight he could have destroyed Hitchens in that argument. I know that it's hard to reason with a rambling, interrupting British leftist, but still....

Saddam Hussein's regime, evil and leftist and atheist that it was, was still not responsible for the 9/11 attacks. Anyone who tries to claim otherwise is lying to himself. Hitchens mentioned that Iraq harbored Abu Nidal, the mastermind terrorist of the Achile Lauro boatjacking. Abu Nidal was a secularist, Arafatist, not an Islamic Jihadist.

Did Saddam's Iraq periodically harbor, aid, and make contact with Islamic fascists? I don't doubt it at all. But that doesn't mean that Saddam was responsible for the terror attacks in the US. If you make that tenuous connection, then you can just as easily point to the aid the US gave the Afghani and Arab jihadists in the guerrilla war vs. the USSR, the switch back-and-forth help the US gave both Iraq and Iran between '80 and '88, and even whip out the photo of Rumsfeld shaking Saddam's hand. And don't forget that the CIA and Pentagon were pro-Taliban back in 1997 because they were fighting against the pro-Iran Hektmatyar faction. There are many weird alliances between strange bedfellows in the bizarre world of Middle Eastern affairs, but this doesn't mean that temporary allies are responsible for the actions of those who they briefly hitch their wagons to.

9/11 happened because:

- The US stayed in Saudi Arabia after the first Persian Gulf war
- The US continues to prop up that corrupt-beyond-rotten regime

Anyone who claims anything else is lying to themselves. Now, of course, the Islamic fascists have a whole new set of reaasons to hate the west, thanks to the neo-liberal adventures of this administration which were supported by John Kerry, John McCain and other leftists. Are you going to keep lying to yourselves and watch our war expenditures hit $200 billion before too long and keep watching fine young American lads come home dead or disfigured?

Christopher Hitchens. Sheesh.

When you cross a bulldog with a ballet dancer? My guess is you get George W. Bush's foreign "policy". See, the bulldog part is reserved for a country like Iraq that Bush thought he could get away with invading and raping that (he thought) wouldn't fight back.
The ballet dancer personality is for countries like North Korea and Iran that Bush knows could stomp the U.S. "military" in a heartbeat. So he puts on his dainty little tutu and ballet slippers and pirouettes away in shame and cowardice. So thanks for giving me a great idea to sum up the Bush regime foreign "policy", a cross between a bulldog and a ballet dancer, excellent. Sort of like saying that in regards to North Korea and Iran, the Bush regime does NOT let its alligator mouth override its hummingbird ass, instead curtsies like a ballet dancer and dances off the stage.
