Letter: Getting very old

Letter writer John Riccio is paying the price for his delusional “Bush lied” rants.

For all aging liberals, viewing old, anti-Vietnam war movies is the only thing left to bolster their emotional motors of hatred toward Bush.

Incapable of confronting his own uncertainties regarding WMDs, the ever pompous Riccio has entered into the liberal realm of perpetual incompetence with his predictable distortions of reality.

As a fan of Google searches, Riccio no doubt cringes when he reads pro-Bush administration quotes from political leaders around the world, including those from both Clintons, Gore, Kerry, Carter and the U.N. Security Council regarding Iraq and WMD.

Despite an overwhelming world consensus that Iraq possessed WMDs, liberals like Riccio still miss the “larger issues” of the justification for the war in Iraq.

So-called intellectuals on the left are incapable of defending their positions countering those “larger issues.” Like cockroaches after a nuclear holocaust, they keep coming back with their “he lied” mantra.

Of course, that strategy became fashionable around the same time killing babies became popular among liberals, so what else is new?

The smug satisfaction Riccio derives from character assassination is a warped reflection of his disturbing theme of envy, resentment and hate. Sooner or later, merit in what he espouses must play a role.
