That 's quite a mouthful from a guy who 's been known as dishonest, an underhanded sneak, and a backstabber since he was a teenager. And, since I haven 't read anywhere about Der Karl having a wife or raising any kinder of his own, who is he to spout this message to Americans and the World?
In reading this passage, I am reminded of the National Socialist message as the political landscape was realigned in Germany during the 1930s. Albert Speer, Heinrich Himmler and the others were all about inseminating the existing institutions families, schools, communities, churches, neighborhood and private groups with Party values. These values were meant to instill virtues, shape character, and provide the young with moral education as deemed proper by and estimable to the Party.
The National Socialists of 1930s Germany were also ultra right-wing Conservatives.
Rove: " ...President Bush supports the protection of traditional marriage against activist judges ...insists on testing, high standards, and accountability in our schools ...has fostered a culture of service and citizenship. "
The German Fascists took over the courts, stacking them with their own judges. They lashed out against homosexuals. Only students who reached certain levels of academic excellence were treated as suitable; everyone was expected to honor the state by some form of personal sacrifice.
"President Bush supports these things because he believes they will lead to a society that is more compassionate and decent, stronger and better. We are attempting to spread liberty abroad and we must show that we are worthy of liberty at home. "
First, I sincerely doubt Dubya could have come up with these constructs on his own. Oh, maybe the overly simplistic spreading liberty all over hell and back. These last two sentences provide me with the vision of a crowd being spurred into a frenzy of imperialistic superiority. This is definitely exclusionary rhetoric tinged with tyrannical overtones.
Now, Herr Rove is ready to tell us about the state of Liberalism.
"Liberalism is at greater risk now than at any other time in recent American history. The risk is of political marginality, even irrelevance. Liberalism risks getting defined, as conservatism once was, entirely in negative terms. "
Herr Rove quotes this passage of Paul Starr, co-editor of the liberal publication The American Prospect. He fails to explain the obvious Mr. Starr is taking the position that the Rove 's and such are taking anything and everything Liberal and demonizing it. Unfortunately, they have the money, the seats of power, and the ministers of Jesus behind them, so people buy their bull.
Then Herr Rove goes on to make a series of wholly inane comparisons between Conservatives and Liberals, all of which are broadly-drawn generalities and none of which are backed by any type of specific example. This is exactly the type of lame non-committal information we 've been hearing since Bush started running for President in 2000; it accuses but says nothing. All these non-statements do are sow seeds of disruption.
"Conservatives believe in lower taxes; Liberals believe in higher taxes. We want fewer regulations; they want more. " Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
Each and every one of his comparisons was exclusionary and inflammatory, not to mention as wrong as a fox in a henhouse.
Then Herr Rove went on to the remarks that made all the news outlets around the world, wherein Liberals don 't care about National Security. What a pompous ass!
Where in the hell does Herr Karl Rove, Architect of the Destruction of the United States of America and all it stands for, get off telling anybody they aren 't concerned with America 's safety and security?
He said that after 9/11, "Conservatives ...prepared for war (while) Liberals ...wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding ... " Der Karl also stated that " ...Conservatives believed it was time to unleash the might and power of the United States military against the Taliban ...Liberals believed it was time to submit a petition ... "
