Put every gun to them sir...

Last week that laughing young senescence, Jeff Jacoby, put forth the entirely Trotskyite notion that George Bush is a “revolutionary candidate”. With one critical difference, instead of Lev Bronstein’s concept of permanent global revolution, Bush favors permanent global military pre-emption. This is of course, entirely true…Bush IS a revolutionary candidate and that also the big problem with him. He may start all sorts of pleasing wars abroad, but he is also hell bent on resurrecting the dear dead days of William B. McKinley.
As far as Jeff Jacoby was concerned, this made John Kerry the candidate of “reaction” espousing a foreign policy based on bourgeois facts and precedents. For now in our newspeak political lexicon “reaction” is somehow equated with that heretical “reality based community” that the President so ardently disparages.
Poor Jeff…he barks he snarls and makes all sorts of threatening yawlps…but he’ll never scare anyone no matter how much noise he makes.
I can’t quite figure out why…he is completely in tune with the GOP’s reactionary-socialist economic program and a proud screamer of poor mouth platitudes on the cultural front. When he isn’t whining about taxes he is crying out for his own conservative victimhood. This is pretty much the same bilge as all the rightical chic columnistas out there…but for some reason it just doesn’t come off when Jeff does it.
He is lacking somewhere…like a celebrated high school science nerd who tries on a leather jacket and tries to come on like James Dean.
He has tried calling John Kerry a reactionary kulak, a foulmouthed guttersnipe, a elitist and yesterday Jeff was reduced to calling him “indecisive”.
Whenever one of these conservative junkers starts up with that “indecisive” crap you can be sure that they’ve run out of invective since they’ve been dumping that epithet on every democrat in the running since Alton B. Parker.

I think Jeff needs to go on a long vacation soonest. He looks silly in that leather bomber jacket waving the red flag of revolution.
