Bill Roggio says in 0 for 6:
There was a time when liberals would cheer at the prospect of freedom and democracy in places long under the stench of oppression. Today, any attempts to right past wrongs and free men from tyranny are looked on with scorn. Yesterday’s idealistic liberals are today’s realists; preferring the ‘stability’ of dictators to the spread of democracy. They are fearful of asserting themselves on the world stage without the approval of the United Nations. They refuse to judge other cultures but are quick to judge American actions as immoral.This has become increasingly obvious to many of us as we watch Senators Kerry and Kennedy talk about a "quagmire", while at the same time hearing stories from those we know in serving in Iraq about how much the US military is appreciated by the Iraqis and how much good we are doing there. Every prediction of doom and gloom has proved false, going all the way back to our entry into Afghanistan. The latest round has proved the point even more: 8 million Iraqis voting and telling the terrorists to go home. When it becomes difficult to distinguish between the rantings of the American Left's most prominent Senators and Iraq's most prominent terrorist, you know something isn't right. Losing has brought the worst out in the American Left. Their hatred of anything remotely Republican has driven them to conspiratorial thinking and knee-jerk opposition to any and every policy put forth by their 'enemies'. They have been reduced to shilling for tyrants, defending terrorists and opposing freedom. Labels: politics |
