THE EMERGING LIBERAL & ISLAMO-FASCIST CONSENSUS
Iconoclast ^ | Stephen Rittenberg

In a liberal therapeutic culture, "feelings" supersede rational thought as a measure of authenticity. In Oprahworld, the land of arrested development, feelings are the great equalizer. In the American world of grownups, feelings are valued less -- skills, knowledge, individual motivation play a larger role in success and help differentiate people from one another. In the real world we're not all equal. In the realm of feelings, we all have an equal claim on the world's empathy.

Were it not so serious, the letter to the President from Iran's President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, would be a laugh out loud funny appropriation of the Western therapeutic mode of thought. At one point it reads like a letter from the President of the American Psychiatric Association, rather than the President of Iran................

Well, ever since the commies went out with a whimper, and the Green/enviro movement went and gought a second home in the country and drove there in their SUV's, there's been no place with the left. Islam might be the trick. The soul brothers already have taken the style lead and found a home in the ROP, upper income trust fund whites and non temple Jews should follow.

"In a liberal therapeutic culture, "feelings" supersede rational thought as a measure of authenticity."

Then they reduce those feelings to buzzwords, like "xenophobic", "hate" and "racist" and then they all repeat them like parrots. Awwrrrk! Whistle! Pelosiwannacracker!

This reminds me of someone's tag line I saw on another lib-infested board: "When the power of love becomes stronger than the love of power we will finally have world peace!" (insert pink animated heart gif and peace sign here)

It's just amazing that this grade school sentiment, bereft of any logic, actually passes for profound thought on the left.

The commies are still there, prouder than ever. Communist countries still exist too. Only the USSR went out.

I've heard leftists speak out against "Zionism" but I've never heard them ever speak out against Wahhabism..

"When the power of love becomes stronger than the love of power we will finally have world peace!"

The "Head Shops" used to sell posters with that on it to us collage kids back in the late 60s.
