Pass this article to all your friends that are moderates or reasonable Democrats. We need to marginalise the crazies.

This is what can happen when quite unintelligent writers are permitted to make unrestricted use of abstract terms.

That's all the "intelligentsia" ever did. It's incredible how many people have accepted their schizophrenic ramblings.

As I've said many times, "intellectuals" are like UFO's, and only exist if you believe they do.

Jane Fonda has announced that she’s rolling up her sleeves and hitting the road ( with the odious George Galloway as the opening act) to work for--surprise!—an immediate withdrawal of American troops from Iraq. Fonda, her ageless beauty disfigured and her resplendent talent tarnished by a lifelong advocacy of evil causes, lusts so passionately for America’s defeat that she is even willing to make a mockery of her iconic feminism to aid barbarians who view women as chattel. She is afflicted by a form of madness: the Madness of the Left.

How I despise this woman! If she were on fire, I wouldn't cross the street to urinate on her!

We continue giving them credit and encouraging them by continuing to use terms such as "intelligentsia" to describe them. Call them what they are: 'ignorant fools".

Well said. I always get a laugh at the looney-tunes leftists who parade around with the "I'm smarter and better-educated than the ignorant conservative rednecks" attitude. Our local newspaper recently published a letter from one of the few left-wing goofballs in the county. In his letter he said that being a liberal with a master's degree made him superior to all the uneducated conservative rednecks. The response on the opinion page was probably not what he expected. A large number of conservatives, me included, sent letters to the editor pointing out the fallacy of his statements, along with a listing of our academic accomplishments. His attempted rebuttal was weak, and not worthy of further response. We have seen no further letters from him.

So much for the "intelligentsia."

Thanks for the post. One of the best written and most comprehensive analysis of the left I have seen.

[SeaBiscuit]

Good read.

"How I despise this woman! If she were on fire, I wouldn't cross the street to urinate on her!"

I would, but just on her face, let the rest burn.

[JasonC]

Seconded. Spot on.

[I still care]

Ah, yes. BDD.

Bush Derangement Disorder.

A form of mental illness characterized by delusions, inability to process logical thought, disassociation with reality, anxiety, and the irresistible compulsion to occasionally scream out profanities attacking George Bush "and his evil cabal". Also to visit strange websites run by irrational people who band together in also suffering from the delusion.

A hallmark of this disorder is the irrational association of every negative event to George Bush, and the inability to constructively solve problems, except to "blame it on Bush". A robust economy is perceived as "poor" and is the fault of "George Bush". Crime is the fault of "George Bush", even hurricanes are the fault of "George Bush", as irrational as this sounds. Europeans are particularly susceptible to this symptom.

Even prominent citizens, such as editors of the NY Times, have fallen prey to this disorder. In fact, it has been observed that the higher up in the media hierarchy a patient is, the more susceptible they are to this illness.

When it is pointed out to the patient that in 2 or 3 years "George Bush" will no longer be president, the patient, is usually still unable to dissociate themselves from the obsession.
Prognosis: Unfortunately, not good. This disorder can be fatal, as it may result in the destruction of one's personal environment. The best cure we have lies in liberal applications of Free Republic, and Rush Limbaugh. A heavy dose of Fox news and withdrawal from CNN may also help.

That's why I put the word in quotes. They don't actually exist, therefore they have no power, at least not to me. The power they have over mindless animals, (re the Left) is something else again.

Remember, these people took the party of FDR and twisted it into the "anti-anything except what we do" party.

FDR looked at the world after the attack on Pearl Harbor (Hawaii was not even a state then) and recognized that simply attacking the attackers would be insufficient. FDR knew that defeat of all the major threats was required. Hitler made that easy by declaring war on us (something Sadaaam was not stupid enough to do, but did so implicity through continous shooting at our patrol jets).

FDR realized that before the enemy changes your world, you had better change the enemy's world.

W realized the same thing after 9-11. W knew that the enemy had tried a decapitation move on our nation with the intent of crippling us and making-over the world in the vein of Islamic Fundamentalism. So, W set out to change the world of the enemy.

The Middle East has been a cauldron of hate for decades. This region of the world was the subject of much fiction and realistic projection as the source of our next major war. The Middle East was also the breeding ground of those that attacked us.

So, W decided to present the American middle finger to Mr. Bin Laden and his followers --- you came here to change our world, now we are coming there to change yours.

FDR was remembered for his leadership in defeating the powers of tyranny. W will earn the same respect in time.

[Old Seadog]

THE PATHETIC THING IS THAT THESE PEOPLE REALLY BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE RIGHT.

[SolidRedState]

(Leftists are afraid to stop screaming—they might be forced to think.)

I wonder if that would fit in a tagline.

Jane Fonda is an attractive women even at near 70 years old. But what she did does ugly her up. What year was it that she was voted most hated woman in america

[Beth528]

Democrats have taken the votes of the urban poor for granted for decades, and look what it's gotten those people: high unemployment, high crime, and lousy schools. Yet these people keep voting Democrat, for fear of letting the "other guy" win.
The Commie like Fonda and anyone supporting this crazy woman need to be put in jail..they also feed on the poor,and uneducated..

[MACVSOG68]

Good post.

I hope so, but even in the midst of the chaos in New Orleans, the left is relentless in its pursuit of Bush. The Dem web sites are beyond the pale. Of course, Lincoln faced a lot of the same kinds of criticism, especially during the 1864 campaign, but nothing can match the hatred and lunacy of the left today.

Excellent




Excellent! How in the world did the U.S. Immigration Service allow Galloway in to the states to spew his venom? If he was here on official business that is one thing, but he is here as a private citizen with the full intent to do harm to our country. Perhaps some Immigration Service investigators could attend one of his tear down the United States talks at one of the left universities and arrest and deport him? Guess not, not PC, I hate PC. Again thank you for posting.

The Left's madness is well documented, proof that somewhat less than half of US is nuts.

[When do we get liberated?]

I am not sure I could resist the urge to urinate on her....
