WOW, looks like Choke Hold is off to a good start at Amazon!

Dig this . . . the book is ranked a strong #4 in the Men's Adventure genre (chew on that Bolan). Only the great Clive Cussler is giving it a run for it's money.

And overall, it's ranked in the 2,000s in sales . . . not shabby at all. (Especially when you compare this to the typical sales rankings of GE Destroyers.)

Nice.

(I'll buy my copy at the local Barnes & Noble today . . . but it will take me a while to read it. I like to savor my Destroyers . . . like a fine cognac.)

From the book:

"She accused him of being a bigger murderer than Hitler and George W. Bush combined."

Hilarious stuff, loved it. But it's true, 'Bush Derangement Syndrome' is real.

Years from now, leftists/progressives will look back on these eight years of Bush and wonder just what it is they were smoking to hate him so. All of mass media right now is focused around hatred of that man, it's uncanny. Bush hatred is visible in science fiction novels, newsweeklies, television shows, news broadcasts, movies. It permeates every form of culture we have today. Even a Simpsons rerun I saw last week was ranting about Bush.

When Bush is no longer president, whom will these people shriek their psychotic rage and hatred at? I imagine they'll feel hollow.

Oh well, it's good to see such lunacy acknowledged in our favorite adventure series.

They hate him because it's safer to hate him than deal with the real threats to our safety and our society. If Bush is a fascist and 9/11 was a government conspiracy then he's the only enemy.

They don't have to worry about Islamofascists, since it's Bush and his cronies who say they're a threat and of course, that's all part of the grand conspiracy to take away our rights and make the US a fascist regime.

They need Bush to be the enemy because he's a much safer enemy than the real threat. Cindy Sheehan hasn't disappeared mysteriously; MoveOn members haven't had their homes raided and their computers smashed; war protesters haven't been shot or beaten to death. Compare that to what happened to Theo Van Gogh, the attacks against Israel, or the legal threats that caused [i]Alms for Jihad[/i]'s publisher to recall and destroy all the copies they could.

They've seen what happens to those who stand up to Islamic extremists and it's too much for them to deal with. So they blame Bush for that too. If he wasn't provoking them, they'd leave us alone. If we hadn't invaded Iraq, and if we stopped supporting Israel, they'd leave us alone. In the face of overwhelming evidence that bullies only bully more when they're appeased, they continue with their delusion that what hasn't worked in the past would somehow work this time.

The next president, probably. And I bet even a Democrat will get the hate. Whatever Billery or Obama does won't be enough, won't be fast enough, won't be good enough.

They really are mentally ill. I can't believe they're [i]still[/i] calling for a Bush/Cheney impeachment. Even if they started the process next week, by the time they got through the proceedings, even if they were impeached, what amount of time are we talking about? Bush would lose his last three weeks in office?

In a nutshell.

I always point out to them that nothing of the sort has happened. In fact, it was liberal hero FDR who put over a hundred thousand American citizens in concentration camps because they were the wrong skin color during World War II. Nothing Bush has done even remotely approaches that abridgement of civil (and human) rights. They hate it to have the truth pointed out like that.

The Theo Van Goghs of the world need a Remo Williams to protect them. The enlightened, tolerant left will simply shrug as their heads are chopped off of their shoulders. Silly people.

[i]If we hadn't invaded Iraq, and if we stopped supporting Israel, they'd leave us alone.[/i]

This is what I don't understand about "compassionate" progressives. So it's okay if Islamic dictators are murdering and genociding their own people? That's their position, because their hatred of Bush is all-consuming.

Well, the Democratic party was pretty smooth in courting the anger and rage of their own electorate, just to regain power in 2006. Problem is, those saps on the left are just now realizing that they were snookered, they were fooled, by crass politicians only intent on power. Democrat politicians had no intention of impeaching Bush and Cheney, but they let their gullible voters think that to get their vote. If I were a Democrat progressive, I would feel cheated and lied to, by the Democratic party.

But then, we could have told them so, anyway.

Thanks for the thoughts.
