Halarious read from the Oregon
Halarious read from the Oregon Magazine. A snippet:Let us quickly turn to North Korea, which is both philosophically and politically quite similar to France. Little Dicky Gephardt said that President Bush screwed up that situation by criticizing the North Koreans for breaking The Treaty. This, Gephardt said, is why the North Koreans broke the treaty.No, you are not suffering a time warp. Yes, that was said by a candidate for president.
We'll set aside the fact that the Bush approach to North Korea is working beautifully. (China just let them know where they stand, which is alone. Two sets of Korean War American remains have suddenly been found and are being returned. It is a conciliatory gesture. Those things have meaning in Asian cultures.) Our immediate premise here is that Little Dicky Gephardt, obviously, has advanced Alzheimers. His alleged mind, assuming he had one to begin with, is gone. Here is why. You cannot cause a thing to happen after it has already happened. In other words, if you say something that hurts the feelings of a butchering dictator, and which causes him to go do something really awful, for you to be the cause of what he does, you have to say it before he does it.

Liberals, like all small children, do not recognize the laws of physics. They are all devotees of Jiminy Cricket science. Cause and effect, to them, can when necessary to the promotion of their plans and desires, become effect and cause.
