I worry occasionally that the American people will quickly forget how disastrous and stupid conservative governance was. Fortunately, there's CPAC.

Ponder this, the Islamist War of Terror is at least sixteen years old, dating from the first attack on the World Trade Center. The treat is real.

On the other hand, Al Gore's theory of anthropogenic global warming is an over-hyped fraud.

Yet for reasons which defy logic, the Obama administration wants to ignore the very real Islamist threat but fight Gore's mythical climate crisis. Go figure.

Seriously, if the mad moolahs of Iran did nuke Chicago, I'd expect the Obama administration to apologize to Iran.

This is the kind of thing that goes over well with a CPAC audience. The rest of the country, not so much.

The Obama administration doesn't seem to care one way or the other if the mad moolahs of Iran go nuclear. The fate of Israel, a mere democracy, doesn't seem to bother the Obamaites. Maybe, just maybe, but I don't it, a hypothetical to the bomb the Peoples Republic of Chicago might get their attention, but I doubt it.

When the left complains about irrational fear-mongering, this is what they are talking about. Bolton has been discredited for a long time, though, so there's little point in getting worked up about his stupidity anymore.

"The Bush policy to stop Iran and North Korea didn't work, so instead of learning from mistakes the right wants to insight fear of a new strategy, probably because it will show how archaic their own policy is if it succeeds."

I seem to recall a similar discussion about Menken. Think on the implications of that for just a moment.

But, for a red meat speech aimed at a mostly young crowd of enthusiasts, this was pretty unobjectionable.

Ah yes, the silent bigotry of low expectations.

The new GOP motto.
