Why confront a clear and present danger, one fraught with danger and sacrifices, when there are impossible dreams to dream, quests to undertake, or windmills in desperate need of a tilt?
What do the causes of the left have in common? They offer the opportunity to join in and be a part of something cool and important, and build a utopian world of justice and equality. Unfortunately, none of these crusades are directed at solvable problems. But, it’s so much easier to pretend than to confront.
And, when one of the front-runners of the liberal party doubts even the existence of of the enemy, you begin to understand that the rank-and-file democrat truly has bought in to the rhetoric. As the other candidates race to stake out positions even farther to the left, it becomes for the rest of us, a case of whom to believe, the utopians, or our own lying eyes.
So let me be clear. What is our aim in confronting the scourge of islamic fascism?
“I can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs – Victory in spite of all terrors – Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival.“
And without victory, there can be no peace.
The other day, Blue Star Chronicles went dumpster diving over at a leftist stronghold, and produced a startling list of lunacy, lies, and utopian cynicism that cannot be explained by merely describing it as Bush Derangement Syndrome, or even Iraq Fatigue. These are people who simply would rather tilt at their own windmills than to confront the clear and present danger of our times. What they seem incapable of comprehending is not only the nature of the evil that we fight, but indeed the stakes at hand. Further, their lack of respect for the men and women who provide the very shelter for their squalid, soap-box cynicism, as well as their lack of understanding for whom their allies in the Republic truly are, manifests itself in the form of ungrateful and pampered screed-merchants who substitute rhetorical arson for political criticism, and rejection of debate in pursuit of their own self-indulgent nirvana.
No words can persuade them, no prose can inspire them, and nothing short of another event on the scale of September 11, 2001 can even get their attention. A recent poll showing, IIRC some 40% of mainstream democrats believe the 911 conspiracy theories makes me shudder to think of what it will actually take to wake them up. How many innocent lives will be lost?
The most recent arrest of the Ft Dix six should serve as yet another wake-up call, but it is already being rationalized and explained away as islamophobia, xenophobia, racism, yada yada yada.
Nothing to see here. Back to sleep, America.

All I need do is remind you of Joan Swirsky’s excellent piece, The Pathology of Liberalism.
They are stuck in a phase of socio-political development, much like being stuck in their childhood. There is nothing you, I, or we can do to help them get the needle unstuck from the groove in the disk they are playing in their heads. Much of it is, they are still trying to piss-off Mom and Dad, so they select a philosophy, lifestyle, and *cough*friends, that will cause the most consternation.
Speaking of leftard blogs, came across a post at Gateway Pundit, where someone went into the leftard septic tank, and found a very interesting post.
I’ve seldom experienced any leftard being right about very much, but certainly wish this screeching post is true.
dumpster diving…exactly !!!
If all the evidence from around the world as to the nature of Islamic jihad has not convinced them, I can see nothing that can.
Thanks for the linkie luv
I believe they don’t see because they are afraid. I believe that they are in denial and that they think if they avoid the conflict the unavoidable conflict that looms on the horizon will somehow not materialize.
Not to mention they are have been trapped in the 1960s and in their own adolescence all these years.
Nuke – the previous comment was from me. I forgot to log out of my daughter’s acct
Sorry about that!
An excellent poem for this post, from The American Thinker.
Heh. How appropriate. Perhaps instead of spending lots and lots of time contemplating poetry and gazing at navels, these “timid, gentle souls” would have been better prepared for life by by taking a self-defense course.
Now I’ve read/heard over talk radio a lot of people discussing that this is what happens when you have a generation of women reared by women in which men are largely absent, but that is not true.
Hmmmmm. I meant “generation of men reared by women”, but I suppose the meaning is the same, at least according to the talk radio pundits.
Bugaboo fire races into Columbia county, hundreds more evacuated in the middle of the night, and I-10 threatened.
It is evil of me to feel relieved that that bad boy is traveling away from me, yet I do.
