Deja Vu All Over Again
The old time baseball player Yogi Berra used to talk about things feeling like "Deja Vu All Over Again." Well that's how I feel right now like we're experiencing Deja Vu All Over Again in other words reliving the past.
The past being the late 1990s, remember that era when the public was obsessed with the John Benet Ramsey Case and other sensational crimes, we're obsessed with that all over again. Or when the chattering classes were obsessed with the blunders and shortcomings of a lovable but fallable president? It seems that way again only the president was Bill Clinton and not George W. Bush. Then as now political extremists are demanding the impeachment of a president they dislike, the difference being that the extremists are leftists and the president a Republican. Although, the rantings and ravings of the Far Left against Bush sound exactly like the bile directed against Clinton ten years ago from the right.
Finally there's the monstrous evil we're ignoring again as we ignored ten years ago Islamic terrorism. We spent the nineties pretending that Islamic terrorism didn't exist or didn't affect us even if it did. Even though Islamic terrorists had carried out a deadly attack on the World Trade Center in 1993. No matter what the Islamic terrorists did over seas or at home we ignored them.
We all know how that ended, it ended in the horror of Sept. 11 and 2,000 Americans slaughtered on American soil by Islamic terrorists. I wonder when will we or our leaders wake up and see what's going on. My guess is that we'll we wake up when Bin Ladin and his ilk perpetuate something worse than Sept. 11.
