George W. Bush, John McCain and Kevin James are on the Wrong Side of History.

I want to spend a second day discussing President Bush's remarks yesterday in Israel criticizing Obama and other like minded people who want to return to the time proven tool of diplomacy.

First of all, I find it ironic that President, "I don't know history" Bush disparaged talking with one's enemies while traveling through Israel when Israel has done just that--successfully talked with foes on several occasions. Israel engaged in diplomacy with their long-time enemy Egypt and negotiated a peace treaty as well as with Jordan, another former enemy. In addition, currently Israel is talking with Syria to negotiate some kind of settlement as well. So not only were his remarks a slap in the face to Barack Obama, logical Americans but they were also a slap in the face to his hosts, the Israeli's themselves!! And on their Independence Day no less!!! He's such a parasite.

And what's with McBush agreeing with the Boy King's remarks? So much for the argument that McCain isn't another Bush. On the major, most pressing issues of this election such as foreign policy and the economy they are conjoined twins.

This brings us to that pesky little thing called history which numerous Republicans apparently think is optional to understanding the world. President Abject Failure and his organ grinding monkey John McSame are confusing talking to our enemies with appeasement. Engaging in talks with our enemies is about negotiating a settlement where both parties concede points to over-come a conflict. It's about give and take, whereas appeasement is a policy of conceding (giving in) to the other party, giving without getting something in return. So the Bush-McCain attempt to compare Barack Obama and those who agree with him with the WWII appeaser, Britain's Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain is totally absurd.

Neville Chamberlain's mistake wasn't in talking with Hitler and his people but was instead appeasing them in hopes that if they just gave Hitler what he wanted, (The Sudetenland-which is basically the western part of the Czech Republic) that he'd be satisfied and end his military ambitions.

So there are many, many Republicans who don't know their history and prefer the "ignorance is bliss" policy. Thus, it was so sweet to see Chris Matthews last night challenge one of these ignoramuses about the facts on his show, "Hardball." Take a look:I think that finally most Americans have woken up to the fact that the Republican Party doesn't know what the hell it's talking about anymore. They've been bullshitting their way through politics for at least 8 years now that even some of the most ardent apologists have run out of excuses to explain away the McCain-Bush led Republican Party.

They are a "Wizard of Oz" party, once you peel back the curtain you see that they are just making shit up as they go along. They are no longer the party of Teddy Roosevelt or Eisenhower who at least understood his history--military and otherwise. They better reinvent themselves or they are going the way of the Federalist Party.
