Israel's war separates the decent Left from the indecent Left
Jewish World Review ^ | 07/27/2006 | Dennis Prager

I believe the Left has been wrong on virtually every great moral issue in the last 30 years.

During that period, it was wrong on the Cold War — it devoted far more energy to fighting anti-communism than to fighting communism.

It was wrong for attacking Israel for its destruction of Saddam Hussein's nuclear reactor.

It was wrong on welfare.

It was wrong in its demanding less morally and intellectually from black Americans than from all other Americans.

It was wrong in advocating bilingual education for children of immigrants.

It was wrong in generally holding American society rather than violent criminals responsible for violent crime.

It was wrong in imposing its view on abortion on America through the courts rather than through the democratic process.

It was wrong in teaching a generation of men and women that men and women differ because of socialization not because of innate sex differences.

It was wrong in reducing sex to a purely biological and health issue for a generation of young Americans.

It was wrong in identifying "flag waving" with fascism.

It was wrong in supporting the teachers' unions rather than students and educational reform.

It was wrong in allying itself with trial lawyers and blocking tort reform.

It was wrong in blocking the military from recruiting on campuses and teaching a generation of young Americans that "war is not the answer" when war is at times the one moral answer.

It was wrong in arguing that America is not based on Judeo-Christian values, but on secular ones like Western Europe.

It was wrong in advancing multiculturalism, which is an extreme form of moral relativism that holds all cultures morally identical and which is a doctrine designed to undermine American national identity.

And when it comes down to it, there are very few decent Left left. If you never thought you'd see the Left in America go all-out in favor of Jew killing, just stroll on over to DU or Kos.

I agree.A "descent Left" politician was defeated tonight: Joe Lieberman. Even though he was a Libbie in most all issues he stands with the President concerning Iraq and Israel. Because he recognizes that there is evil in the world and it needs to be stomped out.

The same article that has been posted previously. I will leave it up to you whether you want to delete the thread.

The decent Left is the one who creates a mess and then recognizes the mess they created until the Right cleans up after them when they forget all the damage they had caused and start anew creating other messes.

The indecent Left attempts to prevent the Right from any cleanup at all.

The only Jews still posting at Islamofascist-cheering DU and Daily Kos are self-loathing Jews.

Sadly, there are plenty of those.
