I will admit to being amazed at the rage I sense out of DragonRay8, and perhaps such rage is just as evident, if not more so, among other segments of the American left. An analysis of certain protests conducted against George Walker Bush by the likes of Cindy Sheehan may likely be appropriate in order to estimate the level of hatred leveled against him and his advisors – most notably D
ick Cheney, Condoleezza Rice, and Donald Rumsfeld – during the past eight years. In Ms. Sheehan’s case, her son died in Operation Iraqi Freedom, fighting to take down any jihadists still ravaging that country after Saddam Hussein was overthrown. Indeed, the Right Brothers cited her in that song of theirs as being wrong alongside Ted Kennedy and France. How wrong could one female protester be about the freedom agenda? She apparently visited Egypt to march in solidarity with… an organization that personifies international jihadism itself.:
YouTube: American Islamic Forum for Democracy: Zuhdi Jasser’s February 14, 2008, discussion with Glenn Beck of the Muslim Brotherhood
Glenn Beck said that since the Muslim Brotherhood stands against almost everything Sheehan professes to stand for, Sheehan is “either shockingly naïve, dangerously crazy – or more likely, both”, and Zuhdi Jasser called it “the central nervous system of political Islam around the world”. The Muslim Brotherhood would assemble Sharia experts, including Yusuf Al-Qaradawi, in order to impose submission to Allah into Egypt’s system of law if it were to overrun that country, similar to Iran’s ayatollahs in certain ways. The similarities couldn’t be more striking nowadays, at least to yours truly, and incredibly, Sheehan and others are more willing to express hatred of Bush and end up siding with America’s enemies. Jasser pointed out that feminists and others with whom Sheehan isn’t protesting have stood against Hosni Mubarak, and he (Jasser) called this a case of “cultural relativism”, the notion – as embraced by Sheehan – that Americans want democracy and Muslims and Arabs want theocracy. Such a way of thinking may be more dangerous than we think, going all the way back to 2003.:
Townhall.com: Charles Krauthammer: Bush Derangement Syndrome
Charles Krauthammer was not only the first columnist I remember to alert the American public to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s belief in the imminent emergence of the Hidden Imam, but also the columnist who coined “Bush Derangement Syndrome”, defined as “the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the presidency – nay – the very existence of George W. Bush”. Mr. Krauthammer cited Howard Dean’s reference to a theory that the Saudis warned Bush before the Twin Towers were hit, and this was at a time when Dean was seeking the 2004 Democratic presidential nomination. Krauthammer recalled that the last politician to embrace this idea – one Cynthia McKinney – lost her job in the 2002 primaries, but this syndrome had originally prevailed in Hollywood, as in the case of Barbra Streisand, who complained that Bush was dragging the United States into Iraq to satisfy such corporate sponsors such as the logging industry. One can only wonder how far Bush Derangement Syndrome raged across the United States over the past eight years, even leading up to the election of Barack Obama.
