Double Standard

Liberals tend to want one set of rules for you and me, and an entirely different set of rules for themselves. They feel that their actions are reasonable and justified, but actions of conservatives are not. Take this quote by Joseph Wilson: ``It is in the DNA of the people in (the Bush) administration to go after anyone who questions them..."

How about I re-phrase this statement? It is in the DNA of liberals to go after any conservative in higher office. If Bush is "questioned" (a liberal term for criticized), why doesn't Bush have the same rights Wilson affords himself? Why should Bush roll over and take it? Why does Wilson assume he is above being 'questioned'? Wilson has tried to spin a little tale of woe about his wife's career being compromised. The issue at hand is nepitism. Wilson questions Bush's reasons for going to war, the Bush administration questions Wilson's reasons for going to Niger. It's as simple as that, provided you're not liberal.

Wilson, being a Kerry campaigner and unashamed liberal, can't grasp the concept that the Bush administration has the same rights that he does, and that is to openly question motives and reasons and to make public the facts of a given situation. Instead of the press hammering the Bush administration, they should be questioning why the Bush administration doesn't have the right to openly question someone that is openly "questioning" them.
