A**easing the A**easers



We read:
"The politically correct Left has declared yet more of our natural language off limits to all except themselves. Conservatives, it appears, may no longer under any circumstances apply the terms appease or appeasement to members of the Democratic Party and especially not to presidential candidates or other leaders of that party.

When our president stood there resolute before the world and forthrightly declared that negotiating with those who publicly assert their dedication to Israel's annihilation is an exercise in appeasement comparable to Chamberlain's deadly pussyfooting with Adolph Hitler, it was enough to send the entire dumpster-diving media into a frothing fit.

How dare he call Obama an appeaser? How dare he imply that Democrats are the party of appeasement? Never mind that he didn't, the most important result of their rabid reaction is that it puts us on notice how quickly words and expressions are being removed from the general American lexicon by those champions of free speech, the Liberal Left.

What is interesting is that the media immediately jumped on the President for directing his comment at Obama, but it just as well could have been directed at Jimmy Carter for his recent disreguard of the State Departments warning to stay away from Hamas.

You know, I think I have to agree with Matthews on this (oh no I di-ent), appeasement means to acquiense. And until I hear any candidate say, "so long as they keep the kiling under X amount/year..." then I would say that appeasement. For an incoming head of state to attempt relations with another group is not an inherently bad thing. If nothing is resolved after talking, then that any action that does not include some sort of equal and opposite reaction, that would be appeasement.

a general rule never listen to politicians they are deceitful.
another general rule appeasement never works, it would make things worst.
