Same old tired lies from the Hysteric Isolationists of the Hard Right. ONCE again, here is the the vital quote from 2003 State of the Union address that the Hard Right and the Hysteric Left continues to willingly lie about.

Many pundits like to dismiss the Hard Right by comparing their views to the Hysteric Left in an ironically hysterical smear attempt. The only thing they agree on is that Bush is going about this the wrong way.

As I see it, the Neoconservative obsession with "democra-ceeeeeeeey!!!!!!!!!" runs somewhat counter to what a Conservative should stand for. I also think that Bush's political correctness ("a religion of peace"), coupled with the U.S.'s unwillingness to stand up to the devil that is the House of Saud and the gateway to hell that is Mecca, have caused us to underestimate what we're dealing with. The Wahabi strain of Islam--seeing the political Arab kingdoms as equal to the religious dominion of Allah--is nothing new; it goes right back to the Prophet. In their view, Islam cannot fail, and thus pieces of the Islamic Empire that were taken away--namely, Spain and Israel, are destined to fall.

The Hysteric Left is even MORE out there than Bush. At least Bush is flexing, even if he's flexing the wrong muscle. The Hysteric Left would have us open up our borders, pander to the Islamists, and "just try to get along" with people who hold 500-year-old grudges against our civilization.

I must disagree. You are insinuating that freedom and the rights of Man are on some level contradictive to the principles of conservatism.

Almost, but not quite. I think this is affecting our actions, not our perceptions. Which is an equally large problem, considering the risk and threat that the House of Saud and their entire rotten theocratic principles represent.

Not to mention, of course, their unfortunate stranglehold on a large portion of an essential strategic resource.

True enough. The Left espouses cultural suicide. Which is unsurprising, considering that cultural identity has been the largest stumbling block to the global implementation of Marxism.
