The Ignorance of the Left Of All Things Military

Sphere: Related Content

An inane PuffHo blog post (but I'm being repetitive) by some guy named Steve Young who is a Hollywood writer for shows I've never heard of:

In attempting to provide trivial business as usual cover, Lucianne's son, looking more and more like mom, said that the U.S. has developed plans to attack Canada. Amazingly, it was not meant as a joke, as he said he reiterated that he "knew they have plans." That host Howard Kurtz let that one fly by without an intercepting followup deserves a followup itself.

Perhaps it was a White House or Pentagon-inspired leak meant as a first salvo to warn Canada to keep Universal Healthcare north of the border. Maybe Canada has looked into purchasing back-bacon yellowcake or their Zamboni-delivery systems are ready to release "Hockey Night in Canada" onto ESPN.

Does this guy have even a lick of sense in him? Of course the US has plans to invade Canada. It would be a major mistake to not have plans for every contingency, that's what the military must do. Will we ever attack Canada? No. But what if Canada is attacked by another nation?

I'll let the slam at Lucianne Goldberg go as it doesn't warrant a response other than to say these people will never forgive her for her part in getting Slick Willy impeached. I'm sure the excellent Mrs. Goldberg couldn't care less.

He continues:

Goldberg has run his lineage and National Review connection into some sort of right-wing opinion legitimacy that far left venues like the LA Times print weekly. I still believe that the Times prints Goldberg for the same devious reason they printed David Gelertner -- not as balance but to offer right-wing inanity to prove right-wing inanity.

I propose a debate between Young and Goldberg on US foreign policy. Any bets on who would win?
