Democracy is actually being created in the Middle East. It's truly a great time in the history of freedom! Sure, the Sunni and Shiite's might keep at it for a few more years but, the inevitable democratic resolution is as clear as water.
The Lefties aren't racist as this article contends (although it is a nice jab). The lefties are pure a simply jealous. They are jealous that the right has the guts and the determination to get difficult things done. They are jealous the right has the courage, the patience, and the 'balls' to offend European snobs, big media elites, rich Arab dictators and religious fanatics.
The left can put together a nice 'Freedom Concert,' write a moving stories, and make a poignant movies. But, when it comes to the real hard 'Blue Collar' work, they can't do s#$t!
One would be wise to remember the "dawdling" (actually, intense wrangling, squabbling, and compromising) that attended the birth of our own Constitution.
Such "dawdling" is a sign of health and vigor in a democracy. It is when a constitution is ramrodded through whole and unchanged that one should be most concerned. For it is then that there is a greater risk that antidemocratic and autocratic forces have engineered an artfully camouflaged putsch, not a democratic Constitution.
I have not encountered -- but I have not searched diligently -- any leftist who was active during the Viet Nam war who now feeeeeeeeeels s/he was wrong back then.
Some have "converted" and now say that as conservatives today they were wrong back then, Michael Medved for example.
But even today's leftist supporters of the war to defend against radical Islam like Christopher Hitchens still feeeeeeeeeel that the Viet Nam war was "unjust" and their Ho in Hanoi was right.
Without researching and to the best of my memory "anti-war," pro-Ho activist Joan Baez was the only leftist who expressed any concern for the millions who lost life, liberty, and limb to the Communists. Clearly the other "anti-war," pro-Ho activist knew "the way it is" and were not surprised / disappointed by the carnage or have converted to the right side.
I am befuddled by virtually all claims made by leftist (often mere echoes of our criticism of them, a Leninist stupid trick, I suppose) but one claim can clearly be destroyed by reading post-war accounts by the Communist themselves.
To this day leftist in and out of the MSM proudly claim that "anti-war" activist shortened the war in Viet Nam. Clearly, without doubt, no question -- it encouraged the enemy and prolonged the war for years. The same is happening today.
WTF is that?
LOL:)
“Patience” is the key word. The left seems well hooked on the need for instant gratification, even more than the average American.
Not quite, they don't believe anyone is fit for freedom. Not even us.
No one is fit for freedom and Euro-derived humanity is not fit to live, except those enlightened ones who graduated from Harvard with the right worldview or who take their line from those graduates.
This is an idiotic argument that only demonstrates the complete control liberal ideas have over national debate and the servile, cringing nature of collaborationist "conservatives". Taken to its logical conclusion it implies America, and white people in general, have some sort of moral obligation, the new white man's burden, to sacrifice themselves wherever non-whites aren't living la dolce vita. It is a blank check for unending liberal imperialism, rooted in the virulent, genocidal racism that believes white people are born wicked and the cause of all that's wrong with the world. The author of this article is an individual who is devoid of ideas and cannot defend his position on Iraq so he falls back on the institutionalized white-hating racism of the ruling establishment. This isn't just a bad and stupid argument it is an evil argument.
For a long time, I've been trying to think of a way to get this into a catchy slogan, a la PatriotWarrior. Because the logical extrapolation of leftist behavior is that they WANT to see millions of people slaughtered and millions more deprived of freedom and living in abject poverty.
Excellent argument. Thanks for posting.
I just threw up a little in my mouth.
A very thought provoking post. BTTT
Especially love the scene where the "heroic" reporter blames "A billion dollars worth of US bombing" for the Killing fields of Cambodia. Could not even admit their error in a MOVIE script.
The anti-war people are made up of old hippies who have seen their lifestyle made fun of for 30 years. Trying to stop this war is "seems like old times" to them. It's like a mid-life crisis for hippies. The second component of these people is made up of new hippies - the young brainwashed kids who know very little of Vietnam. To them, Vietnam was a war where we butchered little children for pleasure. Their version of "Vietnam" is in the same vain as "Woodstock". They have no clue what the war was about, the Chinese and Russian elements OR what happened when our leaders decided not to win the war.
If you asked them who murdered 3 million people in the 70's in East Asia, they would tell you American Troops did. They have no clue - this is a game to them. This is a game to the hippies. They say things that sound good to them. They say hateful things to our troops. They actually do not get the fact that each time their words are broadcast on our television, another terrorist thinks his cause is just. There will come a time when the people of this country will wake up and those who aid and abet the enemy (even if they don't realize they're doing it) will be arrested and stripped of their US Citizenship, and sent to live with Hugo Chavez and Castro (since Jesse thinks its a model for the world - he can stay there).
