From DailyKOS:


Since VD Hanson was kind enough to offer us Lefties some advice, I thought I'd
return the favor:

(1) Remember to continue to distort the truth - it is essential to your
continued success - like saying there was "multilateral inaction" in the
Balkans and Afghanistan.  Do ignore the fact that Bush has done nothing in
Darfur.  Be sure to gloss over Bush's promise not to send our military in an
exercise of "nation building" and to have a "humble" foreign policy.  And by
all means ignore the fact that it was Bush's disastrous decision to initiate
the Iraq Debacle that divided that global alliance in the War on Terror.  Never
remember that a substantial percentage of Bush voters believed that Saddam was
behind 9/11 - ONLY remember Atta in Prague when convenient.  As in all things,
Cheney shows the way.

(2) By all means demonize our European allies at every opportunity.  I mean, we
only won two world wars and the Cold War with them.  What have you done for me
lately right?  Of course, always remember to make fun of the French - freedom
fries are always a winner.

(3) Do continue to accuse the Left of "Blaming America First" - even when the
Left is blaming Republicans, not America.  Never retire the phrase "emboldening
the terrorists" - you make McCarthy proud.

(4) Do continue demonizing the UN - it's worked for more than half a century -
why stop now?

(5) Do continue calling Democrats "communists" and anti-American.  It is so in
keeping with the John Birch tradition of the Republican Party.  Do ignore the
racists and the haters the GOP does business with politically.  No need for any
actual soul searching as to hypocrisy. Never purge one bigot from your ranks
ever.  Remember two words - politically correct. Shuts the critics up every
time.

(6) Do argue that the Pentagon budget is actually a form of foreign aid,
proving the US is the most generous nation in history.  It ain't cheap being
the world's policemen, and the US gets NOTHING out of it at all.  Remember that
the Pentagon budget will outstrip all foreign aid given by anybody for the last
decade.  Case closed.

And by all means, deliver unintentional irony like this:

Action and results, not rhetoric and intentions, are what matter. Cease blaming
others for declining popularity.

Ignore the fact that Bush has taken us from record surplus to record deficit,
has a disaster in Iraq, and has made the US the most detested nation on Earth.
 Do blame the Left and the Media for not covering the "good news" as the cause
of this decline in American popularity.

No need to thank me.

P.S. Never forget it is always Clinton's fault and remember Poland. (Hat tip,
Carnacki and DH)

Rather appropriate, eh chaps?
