Your Absence Is Revealing

Though it has been expected, it is no less revealing that the silence from those on the left over our involvement in Libya and the double standard on issues that are raging in this country. While it may be true that a few on the left are now starting to voice their opposition to President Obama’s decision to use military force in Libya, we have yet to hear the same rhetoric that prevailed when President Bush decided to take action in Afghanistan and Iraq. President Bush was accused of entering into an illegal war even though he went to Congress to gain approval by vote to not only authorize force , but to fund the military involvement. President Obama on the other hand has done neither of these steps and yet the absence of the left addressing this is more proof of the double standard that we are exposed to in this country.

President Bush was castigated to no end from politicians and the main stream media to the teacher talking to their students. An aura of perceived evil was developed about him and those in his administration by the left in this country. We have a generation of “youthâ€

Their absence is revealing - and their silence is deafening. Im still waiting for that ugly bug-eyed beyotch Susan Sarandon to condemn this action. Where's Hanoi Jane when you need her?!?!

I'm not holding my breath.
