There's a friend of FR here in town who helped me organize the Rally for America back in March. But he won't come out with me on anti-appeasenik freeps. He just gets too mad. He has a great sense of humor, but he gets so worked up about the atrocities dictators do that he can't stand anyone who would stand up for Saddam or the concept of Marxism. I am every bit as sad about the evil that goes on, but I start and finish with the thought that the Americans who stand up for this sort of crud are "useful idiots," just as Lenin said they were. And they really, really, hate being made fun of, because they are all so self-righteous. That applies to the gay rights nuts too.
