President Bush will be in Salt Lake City this week to coincide with the American Legion’s annual convention and the Bush-haters, led by Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson, will be there to spew their hatred along with other assorted nuggets of nonsense.
In a state that voted overwhelmingly to re-elect Bush and has a reputation for conservative politics, Anderson is more than just a fly in the ointment. He is a true-blue leftist activist and is a harbinger of the leftward shift within the Democrat Party and the growing polarization of American politics.
Consider that Anderson’s guest of honor is that queen of leftist hyperbole, Cindy Sheehan. While most Democrat politicians who value their futures have distanced themselves from Sheehan’s hate-America road show, Anderson is bringing her in with the specific goal of taunting Utah’s conservative majority.
By hosting Sheehan, whether he wishes to or not, Anderson is tying himself to Sheehan’s filthy bagage. Sheehan includes among her friends and sponsors, the ANSWER coalition and various Islamic terrorist groups including Hamas and the PLO who all have the stated goal of America’s destruction. How can you claim with a straight face, as Anderson does, to represent the values that America was built upon while at the same time, embracing radical foreign organizations who have vowed the destruction of America.
Rocky Anderson is a registered Democrat. Nothing at all the Utah Dems can do about that, but, saying that rocky speaks for the DNC or the State or County Democratic Patties, is like saying that Robert Breeze, who is holding the “Death to Isreal” Rally today, is a spokesman for the Republican Party.
Well, actually, I’m almost comfortable with that.
Dear GOP, your new spokesman is a freak.
I guess you are there. Hey, no hard feelings. Corrupt politicians of both parties are to be held in contempt. Leaders too. However, absolute power corrupts absolutely, so I really like divided government. I do not just accept all Dems all the time.
