Albert Einstein said: "You can't blame gravity for falling in love."
There is virtue in assigning blame to yourself when it is appropriate to do so. That seems like an obvious statement—and it is—but we live in such a self-centered society that selflessness is something quite rare. We are quick to pin the blame on anyone else but ourselves, so long as people will believe us. We've become a blame-centric culture because, if you're a good enough manipulator, you'll never feel the repercussions of being at fault.
A group of people specially designed for pinning blame is the Democrats. It's as if they were born for it. If any Democrat makes a bad judgement call or a poor decision, it is never their fault.
On the O'Reilly Factor, Bill O'Reilly interviewed Democrat pundit James Carville. O'Reilly makes a point that Americans are beginning to see Obama as incompetent because of the Syrian debacle:
O'Reilly: "...But the element here, Carville, is that many people think that Barack Obama is incompetent and he can't -- he can't do this."
Carville: "Well, I will definitely -- he's handled the Middle East pretty well so far. Bin Laden --"
O'Reilly: "Libya a mess. Iran is defiant...it doesn't seem to be any clear vision on the part of President Obama. He doesn't have -- 'here is what I want.' He doesn't have that."

Seriously though, if Bill Clinton had taken care of business while he was president, and I'm serious here, 9-11 wouldn't have happened and Iraq and Afghanistan wouldn't have happened. Terrorists blew the shit out of us during Clinton's term starting with the first WTC bombing right up through the East Africa embassy bombings, the Marine barracks bombings, the USS Cole bombing and the way he mishandled the battle of Mogadishu. The blame for what is occuring today is due to Bill Clinton allowing terrorists to embolden themselves because he failed to fight them.
ReplyDeleteJames Carville is a partisan hack of the first order.
Good history lesson. Thanks.
