Wouldn’t it be nice to be fair? Isn’t that what we all want as we go through life and meet its ebbs and flows, rights and wrongs, years of plenty and years of famine? At least that is what Janet Napolitano, our alleged Director of Homeland Security, would like. Just be fair. When her Director of Intelligence (not assistant, or adviser, but director, mind you) was clueless about terror arrests that had been made in London HOURS earlier, she pleaded for us to be fair and realized that all who needed to know, knew. Hmmm. So the Director of Intelligence doesn’t need to know which begs the questions, what does he need to know and when does he need to know it?
Fast forward in reverse to Sept. 11, 2001. Pres. Bush is reading to an elementary class and first hears about the assault on the twin towers and the potential for it being a terrorist attack. He takes a few minutes to finish with the kids so as not to create panic and then proceeds to the task at hand. Yet for these few minutes, he has been ridiculed and put down as incompetent. Really? Hey, what happened to being fair? What happened the proposition that things are defensible and there is a chance to have a do over?
Or what about the proposition that George W. Bush was behind the twin towers coming down. Either this man is the greatest nefarious planner of all time or the whole idea is simply ludicrous on its own lack of merit. How fair are all of these charges against him on this matter? Now even Cindy Sheehan is aboard as a 9-11 Truther. That settles it for me. Her hatred of George Bush while he was in office got her nowhere and now she has found new way to regain the spotlight and continue that hatred. The sad part is that Pres. Bush was fair to her in light of her losing her son in Iraq- he met with her and she said she understood why he died and what it meant for the nation. Fair. Soon after, she is berating the President, demanding another meeting, and this time was not going to be so understanding. What would her son think of her? What would he think of her using him as a political wedge between herself and reality?
The truth is that there is no desire to be fair. The Obamites see the cup ¼ full and stress the heck out of this. There is no way to hold these people accountable; if this was a member of the Bush Administration not knowing, Harry Reid would be out front stating how this President was a loser and how this was just another example of the blatant incompetency of the Bush Administration. No understanding or being fair here. It happened time and time again and so Bush was not only dealing with Al-Qaeda but also the Harry Reids of the world who think nothing of being unfair.
Without accountability, there will be no responsibility taken by this group of jokers. Lose an election? Not my fault. Obviously the people are still angry from the Bush era. Economy down the tubes? Not my stimulus’ fault- just imagine how bad things would get if we didn’t pass it! How do you reason with people like this? There is no reasoning and that is why I have no fairness for people whose only goal in life is to excuse everything they do. Weren’t these guys the ones who were supposed to save us?
