Hitler was given Poland, Austria, the Cheks, the Norwegians, the Sudetenland before he launched the London Blitz and the Battle of Britain, and yet the libs at the time were still willing to open negotiations with him.

God only knows how far our libs would be willing to go today with Bin Laden if left to their own devices....

If history repeats itself, it will be only after San Francisco, Hollywood, or NY City are attacked that our Libs will demand a war against radical Islam.

Of course, Hillary is making sounds that are somewhat militant, but that's only for show... and acquiring the presidency.

As if to illustrate Orwell’s point, a pacifist poet named D.S. Savage wrote a reply in which he explained why he “would never fight and kill for such a phantasm” as “Britain’s ‘democracy.’” Savage saw no difference between Britain and its enemies because under the demands of war both were imposing totalitarianism: “Germans call it National Socialism. We call it democracy. The result is the same.”

Savage naively wondered, “Who is to say that a British victory will be less disastrous than a German one?” Savage thought the real problem was that Britain had lost “her meaning, her soul,” but “the unloading of a billion tons of bombs on Germany won’t help this forward an inch.” “Personally,” he added, with hilarious understatement, “I do not care for Hitler.” But he thought the way to resist Hitler was by not resisting him: “Whereas the rest of the nation is content with calling down obloquy on Hitler’s head, we regard this as superficial. Hitler requires, not condemnation, but understanding.”

I swear, I work with these same people...
