Iraq: the Election

an audiovisual montage

Adam Keiper has set images of the Iraq election to Aaron Copland’s “Fanfare for the Common Man” in two resolutions, one for dialup and one for broadband, here.

Just go download it. Watch it. Again. If you aren’t moved, you have no heart at all. Just check right on in to your local mortuary.

Now, the next time some LLM or MMP starts whining about “disinfranchisement” in an American election because some cheat had their ID checked to eliminate fraud, think on this and try to refrain from bloodying their nose.

Just give them the Iraqi election finger.

The LLMB and MMPA’s psychotic break with reality

A Charitable Explanation for the Words/Deeds of the Loony Left Moonbat Brigade and the Mass Media Podpeople’s Army

OK, here’s the deal. Understanding the LLMB and the MMPA entails twisting your mind around one singloe solitary fact: nothing, absolutely nothing, is true, factual or in any way connected with reality in their minds or words or deeds if it contradicts their preconcieved, deliberately chosen delusions.

It’s why they could field Joh nKerry as a “serious” presidential candidate. Since nothing he said was connected to facts, truth or committment to any course of action save for personal “validation,” his changing positions from one day to the next, from one minute to the next, from one portion of a sentence to the next convoluted portion of the same sentence, he was entirely consistent as viewed through the warped lenses of the LLMB and the MMPA.

Listing other disconnects from reality such as Barbara Boxer’s delusions, Ted Kennedy’s well, existence, would serve little to expand the case for my assertion. Little could expand beyond the example of Jean Fraud sKerry.

But one example from current events might serve to illustrate the model. The LLMB and MMPA statements leading up to and even continuing beyond the Iraq elections are a perfect illustration of this complete disconnect from fact, honesty, or, indeed, any semblance of actual events.

(This is the charitable construction. Any other explanation for the LLMB and MMPA involves a discussion of Scott Peck’s book, People of the Lie, an interesting exploration of the phenomenon of human evil.)

Witness this fair paraphrase of the progression of positions taken by the LLMB and MMPA leading up to and continuing through and beyond the election:

1.) The U.S. is embarking on empire and will not allow self-government by the Iraqis.
(Demonstrably false)
2.) The promised elections are not/will not be possible. (Demonstrably false)
3.) The promised election will not take place on time.(Demonstrably false)
4.) The elections will be a failure, a bloodbath. (Demonstrably false)
5.) The election will be illegitimate (because of non-participation). (Demonstrably false)

Now, the LLMB and MMPA voices still clinging to the hope that the adventure to build a free and democratic Iraq will fail and the Iraqi people will be worse off than ever are arguing that the election (which they have formerly insiste would not happen, could not happen, woulf be an utter failure, etc.) was the easy part, that the dangers still posed by the reactionary mass murderers the LLMB and MMPA still insist are “insurgents” will topple this fragile nascent democracy.

Dissing the Mockumentarian Moore-on

Michael Moore who?

In a move that by now is a big yawn, the Directors Guild averted their eyes from Michael Moore yesterday when handing out pre-Oscar awards. Clint Eastwood garnered a Best Director for “Million Dollar Baby” but Moore was, well, let’s let the irony of *Reuters* reporting the event sweeten the pot:

In the DGA’s other major film award for the evening, the prize for best documentary went to Byambasuren Davaa and Luigi Falorni for their tale of nomadic life in Gobi desert, “The Story of the Weeping Camel.” Among the documentaries it beat for the award was Michael Moore’s controversial anti-Iraq (news – web sites) war film “Fahrenheit 9/11,” which has fared poorly this awards season. It received no Oscar nominations.

What was that? Moore-on’s Fake-umentary was spurned in favor of “The Story of the Weeping Camel”? How sweet. Sweeter still that *Reuters*—al-Jazeera west—swallowed the bitter pill of reporting this slap in the face to its partner-in-lies.
