When you don't have a plan of your own, there's not much else one can do.

A potential tag line for you?

I don't think left=pacifist.

Castro, Che, Stalin, Mao, etc. were leftists but hardly pacifists.

When discussing the various leftist delusions, always make a distinction between the followers and the leaders, because there are differences.

If you are a follower pacifism is a "viable" option, and will gain you the moral high ground, plaudits for your nobility, yada, yada, yada.

If you have a lust for power, pacifism is a non-starter, and precludes you from maintaining power, in the unlikely possibility you should ever gain it.

Although the leaders will often mouth pacifistic cant, that is just agitprop.

The Left hates Israel, that's it.

Ironic isn't it, since many of the early leaders of the Jewish state were hard-core leftists, and Israeli society is probably more socialist than any of the Arab states.

It just shows there are no consistent principles in liberalism.

I wouldn't call the political philosophy of these folks liberalism. At one time liberals were staunch defenders of human rights around the world. But these bloggers won't even discuss Israel's right to exist because the issues "are too complicated", and "spark vicious comments".

These people are afraid to even post comments on the frigin' internet. A far cry from those of a generation ago that gave their lives in defense of freedom.

But we're talking about today's liberal. A liberal 40 years ago is a radical right winger today.

Bingo, Johnny. Come on down and pick up yer prize...

I have to disagree on #8. If the Israelis really felt that way there would be no Palestinians.

Two good questions to ask any liberal:

1. If the Palestinians laid down their weapons, what would happen?

2. Now, if the Israelis laid down their weapons, what would happen?

Works on any but the most brain-dead leftist.

Okay. So if yesterday's liberal is today's conservative, where the f did today's liberal come from? And what will today's liberal be in 40 years?

God help us.

[Vision]

Don't forget we are where we are because of the power and corruption of the media for the last 40 years. That is over and the power is returning back to the people. No worries.

Today's liberal will become extinct or forced underground again.

”True, but the left in the US and western europe today, the press left, the pundit left, is pacifist. They are useful idiots for the murdering kind.”

There are different types of leftarded people. Many are pacifists others want the destruction of capitalism by any means necessary.
