Does anyone wonder where the Tom Hayden-Jane Fonda SDS radicals went? The ones who chanted “Hey, hey LBJ how many kids did you kill today?” and cheered on the Communists in Vietnam, and went into the streets to demand America’s withdrawal from Vietnam and became suddenly silent when our troops were pulled and the Communists proceeded to slaughter two-and-a half million Cambodians and Vietnamese? Well today they are the heart and soul of the Democratic Party, calling for a capitulation in the war in Iraq and referring to George Bush as Hitler, or perhaps merely suggesting that his mentality is fascist, while insisting and that America’s war in Iraq is a mask for conquest and imperial goals.
These aging New Lefties are also busy digging graves for the Jews in the Middle East by pretending that the genocidal Muslims in the Palestinian territories are really victims and that they only express genocidal desires because they’re frustrated and reduced to desperation by American and Israeli power. The lefties I’m referring to are grouped around magazines like the Nation and the American Prospect and websites like Daily Kos and Common Dreams; their organizations are among the netroots and Democratic Party caucuses like the “Campaign for America’s Future,” which are mandatory stations on the road to the White House for the current crop of Democratic presidential candidates.
These observations are provoked by an email I received from one of their number, a political piranha with intellectual pretensions named Rick Perlstein. His email read: “Couldn't find your jihad vid on YouTube as promised in your email today. What's the YouTube URL? – RP” Of course I knew who Rick Perlstein was, and the lack of a hello in his email or any modicum of civility, which even a political opponent could be expected to muster, might have caused a less generous fellow than I can sometimes be to ignore the communication or just tell him to get lost. After all, on past occasions he had attacked me pretty viciously, and this email was not a response to anything I had actually written but to an e-newsletter that my staff had put out which bore my signature.
But that is not the way I deal with people. Instead of treating him according to his deserts, I did what I usually do in such cases and let the insulting style float by me while responding thus: ......................................................
In other words, it’s hysteria to regard as dangerous the jihadists who have carried out 9,000 terrorist attacks since 9/11, who have sworn our destruction, who could very well possess biological, chemical and nuclear weapons, who want to die so they can get to heaven, who believe in the mass slaughter of innocents, and who have active allies across this country.
Whatever the fight..........
They want the US of A to LOSE.
Period.
Silly question. Of course they do: It's America. More precise question: Do the left love Muslims and Islam? Answer: No. They love no one. But they hate America and embrace the idea that "The enemy of my enemy is my friend".
Yes... and they don't care. The Padilla crime
I’ll be waiting at my door, and I won’t offer them free housing, food stamps or health cars.
Does the left know who the enemy is?
Of course, it’s Christianity.
The Padilla crime..... and Bush gets the blame
Poor pathetic Padilla ??????? ... WTF
From the article...
...”He’s pathetic, actually. Yet because of someone like this, the Bush administration was willing to junk the Constitution and redefine the legal system as it saw fit. That’s the real crime”.....
Perlstein is still a member of FreeRepublic, I believe.
The left wing traitors think their aid and comfort to the enemy is not going to hunt them and that is why they are so damn open about it. It is not only going to hunt them but it is going to destroy them for generations to come. They are stupid and delusional beyond belief. They think that the majority of Americans support their treason, lunacy, and defeatism because these left wing lunatics believe their own biased polls. They are going to face political annihilation in the next few years.
The idiots do they think they will have their Gay Marriages—Abortion on Demand — Drugs —Alcohol—Hollywood Porno Movies —Scantily Glad Women etc etc under the muslims
What fools they are the ones in the Cross Hairs of Islam
Bump for Horowitz!
Looks like a Rat Party (formerly the traditional, patriotic Democratic Party) site. Vote left, this is what you get today.
Select Padilla:guilty to see how moderates like Mr. Perlstein feeeeeeeeeeeeeeel about the conviction: "Please read Lew Koch's coverage of the proceedings in Miami and tell me this wasn't a kangaroo court. A black mark on our nation. The most recent of many."
I guess he's saying, "Let my people go!"
At this time there were no replies on the thread. Why don't one of the chicken hawks jump in and offer to finish Mr. Padilla's mission, whatever it was. He was over there for a reason. What was he suppose to do when he returned to the U.S.?
I was remiss in not letting Mr. Perlstein know that his efforts are being discussed.
Does anyone wonder where the Tom Hayden-Jane Fonda SDS radicals went?
Yeah. They're all tenured professors at major universities now.
(not sarcasm)
The Left sees only what fits its political template and will even rewrite or distort history to justify their position.
The enemy is us.
My VERY “liberal” mother in law is on the edge of cognitive dissonance lately over Chavez’ recent actions.
I’m not doing her mental state any favors when I state that there was no other possible outcome when a country allows socialism to run rampant. There is no other way that socialism “works” other than under a dictator.
However, she did stick with the standard Bush Derangement Syndrome of saying that Chavez is rigging the elections like Bush did.
