An Instructive Peek Inside the Leftist Mind

Almost unbelievably, leftists in Israel are rallying against the military strikes, and calling for negotiations with Hezbollah and Hamas.

It really is telling -- their country is being attacked by deadly enemies and the ansewr is to try to talk to the same people who have completely disregarded Israel's good faith in withdrawing from both Gaza and the buffer zone in Lebanon.

The leftist mind seems to be the same across the world . . . there's nothing worth fighting for, ever. Indeed, if Israeli leftists can't agree that fighting is warrnated now, when would it ever be?

Please go fight, Carol, or pony up the money to pay for someone else to do it for you.

When you actually have a financial and/or physical contribution to the war effort, your bellicose rhetoric regarding the worthwhile costs -- lives, equipment, dollars and credibility -- of these various struggles will ring less hollow. In the meantime, it's just a bunch of 'as-long-as-my-hands-don't-get-dirty' bluster emanating from your coccoon high above it all.

Ayatollah, your flimsy attempts to put words in my mouth will always fail.

("...look at the pathetic bastards." Carol, I thought this kind of language and verbal abuse had to end. Or does it apply to Ayatollah?)

Ayatollah...a link for you. It's part 3, but contains links to parts 1 and 2.

Someone on talk radio the other day suggested that we convince the Jews to leave Israel, and we give them land along the Mexican border. I know...ridiculous, but appealing. We know that they can deal with the desert, we know that they know how to defend a border, and we know they know how to build a fence. They get land that isn't constantly under fire - except for the Mexican incursions, which will be a cake walk after Hezbollah and Hamas - and we get border security. Win-win.
We could wish!

suek, I don't think you'll find many people on this blog who think that suggestion is very appealing. In fact, it's kind of insulting.

Did I understand correctly that you grew up in Germany?

Ditto, I'm afraid we have might have ourselves a premillennial dispensationalist for a president, and if so, he has no intention of doing anything but watching this war go down. This all fits in with what many in his base have been fantasizing about in the 'Left Behind' Book of the Month Club. They see it as an inevitable fulfillment of an end-times prophecy.

Another good reason to keep in check the political agendas of evangelicals. Otherwise, it's foreign policy according to the Bible.

Once you decide to rubber stamp everything the Village Idiot does you have heralded the end of the American Century.

The world is not the peace, love and understanding that the left-wing ideology preaches. Yeah, it would be fabulous if we didn't have 6000 years of inconvenient truths about man's sinful nature. But HEY, let's ignore it now. Maybe it'll go away. dheads in the sand.

I've pretty much decided to ignore the dhimmis here. Sort of a self imposed killfile. I've come to the conclusion that their only purpose here is to disrupt discussion.

Somehow, those who support the extreme left and the proliferation of islam assume whatever cover is convenient to further their agenda. They don't discuss, they preach. They goad. Like hizbollah, they lob missiles of name calling and insults at those who might have differing opinions.

It seems to me is that the only choice is to ignore them or let them drive me away. That may be the ultimate outcome, but at the moment, as far as I'm concerned, they no longer exist.

No thanks, suek. I do not care to take part in "discussions" like this one...

"Someone on talk radio the other day suggested that we convince the Jews to leave Israel, and we give them land along the Mexican border. I know...ridiculous, but appealing. We know that they can deal with the desert, we know that they know how to defend a border, and we know they know how to build a fence.

We could wish!"

But I'm just PC like that.

Not a problem. Carry on with your discussion, then, regarding the characteristics of the Israelis that make them perfectly suited to living in the desert Southwest. It should be an interesting reich-wing discussion.

Suek:

I haven't heard the radio comments you referred to. But I'm sure it was a tongue-in-cheek attempt at humor.

Also, I continue to enjoy reading the articles you link to. I don't get to read them all. But the ones I do get to read are very instructive.



Dodger:

Cliff:

"Ayatolla and Suek, if enough of us on Carol's blog remain in unity, we might be able to freeze them out. They can be a
cult unto themselves, only satisfying each other."

That's all they are already.


Actually, I don't want to freeze anyone out. Let everyone comment all they want. Carol can decide if anything crosses the line and needs to be deleted.

But by all means, Suek, DON'T LET THEM DRIVE YOU AWAY. That may be what some of them are trying to do.

I have to agree with Rush, who says that we need some libs to remind us of how dangerous they are lest some of us drift to their myopic and irrational way to thinking. It is funny, in a sad pathetic way, how they trumpet all of these dangers as a result of Bush and his actions, but they can't seem to have the same level of emotion toward a large group of people that would love to hack off their heads. Our resident libs here are proof of that. I just wish I could get the same quality weed they get. Then maybe I'll understand what they think is reality. Plus I'll have a great buzz.
