VERY WELL SAID....
some good stuff there. witness:
The inability of secular progressives to solve all the world’s problems is a direct challenge to their core beliefs. To acknowledge their inability to achieve utopia on earth would invalidate a lifetime of passionately held beliefs. Hence the desperate effort to place blame on someone human. Someone other than themselves.
Enter George Bush. The greatest threat of all to the worldview of secular progressives.
No wonder they hate him. He exemplifies personal responsibility over moral relativism. He bases his opinions on reason, not emotion. He is a man of God and stands for all the traditional values the SP’s have worked so hard to replace. His rejection of the Kyoto Treaty was a direct affront to the secular progressive’s new religion of environmentalism. The mere mention of George Bush in liberal circles is akin to pushing a puppy’s nose in his own mess.
“Why (Some) Liberals Hate America”
I think this should be changed to read:
“Why ALL “Liberals” And “Democrats” Hate America And Love Commies, Islamofascists And Traitors”
“Based on trendy liberal reasoning, only those with power can oppress.” Yet (morally superior in their own minds)liberals are the worst oppressors of all (gun control,freedom of speech on college campuses, abortion, the MSM) in the tradition of Marx, Lenin,& Stalin.
Reid said, when asked what he will do if there is good news out of Iraq, "I will choose not to believe it."
I think there are two types of liberals right now. One is the “Bush haters”. The other, which also hates Bush, is just philosophicaly a liberal. They cannot see the consequences of their actions. They are well intentioned people who are “dreamers” that think that everyone is somehow going to love each other and everything will be allright. They are the direct result of the hippie movement of the sixties. They are completely unaware of the danger that this attitude can put us in. Try to reason with one of them and see they appear to be “brainwashed” and unable to reason and understand the results of liberalism.
I never understood this. Liberals love thinking of themselves as THE intellectuals of the U.S. In the mean time, they did NO research on slavery as carried out in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Slavery is the most inhumane of mans’ sins against man. but it was NOT unique to the US colonials. It was thousands of years old by the time that N. America became populated. Slaves were provided to slave traders by other Africans throughout that continent. Africa was the dark and almost completely unexplored continent until well into the 20th century, so no white man could get into the interior because of the very logistics involved, because of language barriers, because of disease, bad maps (or NO maps), because of the ferocity of the native people to keep all others (including other natives of Africa) out of their territory..., etc. Along the coasts, African leaders and groups became very wealthy bringing people from the interior to sell to white slavers.
Guilt exclusively for Americans is ludicrous. A reading of most history authors will even say that from the time of the Romans and long before, slaves represented a valuable form of currency. There was not enough gold or silver around at that time for the valuation of commodities traded in the ancient world. Laying blame exclusively on the U.S. does not acknowledge the basic fact that ALL people are stained with this.. all people in all ages in all cultures.
Headline = Who Cares...LEAVE!
Democrats appear to be rooting for defeat in Iraq as a way to defeat George Bush.

That isnt an appearance Hoss, thats a fact.
“Why (some) Liberals Hate America”
...and the deadly result of this hatred (sorry to piggyback on your good article, but thought this relevant).
Since 9/11 I’ve been amused at the sad irony and hypocrisy of the Left as they searched for the reasons to why the rest of the world hates America (especially our Islamic brothers). Excuses immediately began pouring out of the woodwork; it’s our foreign policy, it’s our support for Israel, it’s our consumption and wealth...blah, blah, blah. Conspicuously missing from all these “excuses” was the Left’s own contribution to this hatred, which is perhaps the most damaging and dangerous to this country.
A great illustration of this ocurred while I was listening to Charlie Rangel’s (D-NY) news conference several months ago in which he objected to the rhetoric of Hugo Chavez berating our President before the UN. I couldn’t help but be amused by this hypocrisy; for years the Democrats have attacked Bush—just as they do every Republican president, maligning and marginalizing them for the rest of the world to see and hear.
This hypocrisy became even more evident as I watched Hugo Chavez (from the podium at the U.N.) endorse a book written by one of the leading, liberal American authors/professors (Noam Chomsky) whose only work has been that of attacking his own country for years on-end. This MIT professor’s anti-American diatribes have made him a favorite among the American-hating Left in this country...and now as we see, with other world leaders who take these screeds as facts to justify and excuse their own anti-American hatred.
From liberal professors in academia, to Democrat politicians to Hollywood actors and their movies and the media—American liberals have ingrained a hatred in the mind of others for this country that goes well beyond Bush, the Iraq War and this administration. They’ve been building this resentment for decades—in our classrooms, TV/movies, the news media and certainly in our politics.
In the last couple years alone, both the media and leaders within the Democrat Party have spoon-fed our enemies the very excuses and reasons to hate us. From Dick Durbin accusing US troops at Gitmo of committing heinous atrocities to John Kerry claiming US soldiers were terrorizing innocent Iraqis, these elected Democrats have fed this hatred. When you have the leading Democrat in the Senate (Harry Reid) before a classroom of children referring to president Bush as a “loser,” just what kind of message do they think this is sending to others around the world. Do they honestly expect a dictator like Chavez to treat or respect our president any better than they do?
From 50+ front page news stories by the NY Times on the “torture” at Abu Ghraib (and Ted Kennedy agreeing, claiming it is open under new management), to Newsweek’s lying article about US soldiers flushing a koran down a toilet, the liberal media in alliance with their Democrat counterparts have willingly become the instigators of this very hatred. This same media that chastises the US government for daring to display photos of Saddam and his two dead sons...and ANY captured prisoners (sighting Geneva Accords) had no problem demanding that even more photos of Abu Ghraib be released, almost a year after the event, just so they could further inflame Muslim emotions “against” the USA.
Whether it’s the vitriolic rhetoric of Democratic politicians accusing Bush of being a liar or the deliberate misrepresentations made by liberal film makers such as Michael Moore, the bombardment of hatred towards this country, by people in this country, is inescapable. People from around the world could pick up any Hollywood movie and see (from the Left’s perspective) how the USA is nothing but a racist and degenerate society, as we assassinate our own leaders...or hear how many honorable soldiers who served in Vietnam were nothing more than baby-killers and savages.
Is it really any wonder why the rest of the world may hate America when you see how the media, Democrat politicians, liberal Hollywood and the entertainment industry (including music) has defined this country? Whether it’s the conspiracy theories emminating from the minds and mouths of people like Rosie O’Donnell or Sean Penn, the Left’s fringe has become part of their mainstream. As a result, their words are carried from the TV and “net” to all places around the globe—including in the foreign press, that picks these screeds up as fact and actual news events. These Liberals haven’t just emboldened our enemies, they’ve enabled them; they’ve given Muslims around the world the very excuses and reasons to hate us, and thus, further attack us.
Perhaps most ironic and just as dangerous is the “domestic” terrorism that liberalism inspires. From people like John Walker Lind to the Korean student at VT (Cho), liberalism is indoctrinating American students with a vapid hatred for this country. Liberal professors who engage in wild conspiracy theories and anti-American rhetoric are creating a new generation of young adults who are being bred to despise their own country. And while most won’t go join the Jihad, you can see the result of this brainwashing and hatred anytime a conservative speaker appears on a college campus. This is the nature of liberalism, which does nothing more than prey on the youth or disenfranchised through fear and discontent, as it creates perpetual conflicts.
Through their own words and deeds, Liberals have endangered every one of us and our families. Whether it’s our enemies abroad...or our own people within, liberals have professed and ingrained a hatred through their politics into the minds and souls of people around the world for America and Her way of life. If Liberals really want to know why America is hated, they don’t have to look any further than the nearest mirror and see how they are directly responsible for this hatred; a hatred that is creating enemies who now wish us ill-will. If there is another attack on our soil, we can thank people like Noam Chomsky, Michael Moore, Rosie O’Donnell, the media and sadly, even several elected Democrats. These people are truly, the enemy within.
