The Obama administration is in defensive denial as a result of Dick Cheney having had the temerity to openly state a plain hard truth, and Democrat politicians, liberals, and their gaggle of academic and media supporters are in full cry over the former vice president's offensive utterances.
The fact that Mr. Cheney had the nerve to point out is that the policies the administration is pursuing remove disincentives and difficulties for, and obstacles to new and further attacks against America, its people, and its interests. Thus such policies will encourage and facilitate attacks with possibly horrendous consequences.
Instead of addressing the message that he has put before the public and made part of an important national political discourse, the gang of enforcers for our teleprompter in chief are concentrating on attacking the messenger, upbraiding Mr. Cheney personally.
In evaluating the merits of the respective positions, rational citizens will note that Mr. Cheney's detractors are careerists, politicians, and time servers on the make.
Mr. Cheney on the other hand is in the same position he was when he undertook to serve as vice president. He then had, and now has nothing to gain by his actions, and no need to do or say anything. Through decades of hard work and achievements he long ago earned the right to sit back and relax, to retire to a private life of ease, comfort, and tranquility. Instead, he is speaking out and remaining an active force, as are his equally effective, honest and plain spoken wife and daughter. In contrast to his detractors, concern and love for the country is Mr. Cheney's only possible motive.
He deserves our admiration, gratitude, and respect.
