Deliberate delusion born of self-interest; ignoring reality out of self-importance; the inability of relics “in the know” to renounce what is no longer true; selfishness over love of country: All of these are reprehensible character traits. When practiced by too many, a civilization dies.

This is an outstanding article which I have bookmarked. The last paragraph especially caught my eye because it mirrors narcissism, a growing epidemic among those so-aptly described in other parts of this fantastic piece.

*sigh*...wonder what the definite number for 'too many' is...I am fearful, and very disheartened... almost half our country's population is already there.

Some of this crowd are, by nature, cowards and appeasers, brazen only when taking on people and institutions they know will never harm them, such as Bible-believing Christians, President Bush, and the American military.

Great sentence, one of my biggest pet peeves about the DUmmmie types.

Liberals NEVER EVER place any blame on the terrorists themselves. They ALWAYS blame the US and Israel for driving the peaceful muslims into terrorizing:

The US, Britain, Israel, India, Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Lebanon, Russia, Australia, Canada, Italy, Singapore, the Philippines, Indonesia, Nigeria, Kenya, Thailand, Spain, Macedonia, Bangladesh, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, France, Germany, Uzbekistan, Gaza, Tunisia, Kosovo, Bosnia, Somalia, Algeria, Tanzania, Sri Lanka, Denmark, Sudan, Jordan, Holland, Greece...etc

Excellent article. He sums up the current state of liberalism, very well.

This long article could have been greatly shortened to: Liberals do not believe in the existence of evil. They believe that anyone who does bad things is simply not in touch with their inner self and that inner self is fundamentally good. Therefore, to state that Islamofascists are evil is to ignore the 'fact' that all people are good and the only reason some people do bad things is because they have not been given enough love and if all of us love enough and reach out to the people who do bad things then the people who do bad things will get in touch with their inner selves and stop doing bad things.

Excellent article. However, I think the modern Left's attachment to the idea of "multiculturalism" is also largely to blame.

The Left position on multiculturalism dismisses the possibility that one culture can be inherently superior to another and insists that all cultures are compatible. This is obviously nonsense, but the Left's belief in multiculturalism blinds its adherents to reality.

Another reason liberals refuse to see the danger of Islamofascism is that they would have to deal with the first part of that word: Islam. The idea that a group of people takes their religion seriously is absurd to a liberal. It can't be possible! And thus to a liberal, it must not be so. It must be true that the Islamofascists are simply another aggrieved group seeking recompense for America's imperialistic misdeeds.

The same is true when they look at "right-wing Christians" at home. It simply can't be possible that they take their religion seriously. It must be true that they have some other nefarious motivation for the policies they seek; or they're merely "simple". (A charge that the racially sensitive liberal cannot bring against non-White Muslims!) The liberals' hostility toward religious people blinds them to the idea that religion really can motivate people and guide their actions. And since this is, at its heart, a religious war, the obvious end to such a conflict is anything but obvious to a liberal.

"their whole social milieu is dependent on maintaining the artificial and cocooned world they have created for themselves."

This is the central truth about liberals. Examine the Left's hatred for those who embrace the Greco-Judeo-Christian heritage of Western Civilization. And examine their purpose. Is it not to institute a new faith; a new religion of moral relativity with the Cult of the State as its Übermenschen? Such relieves them of the complex duty of sorting out the morality of human behavior. Do not judge is their first commandment. Instead, they confer that function to the state while life for them is a world of fantasy and make believe--and narcissistic hate.

The Mother ship to Armageddon is boarding at the end of the Santa Monica Pier. The Liberals are lining up like lemmings with their long sleeve shirts, lip balm, spiral notebooks and $5.75 in case they need to make a phone call or catch a taxi in their Utopian world through the looking glass. They are on a course of self-destruction that may take an entire nation down with them. They embark on a course to a Brave New World where the state provides the means for pleasure as a substitute for freedom.

The author has nailed them, and; they will not reply. The only replies I ever got from any Lib were- we hate so and so. Then I ask them about their plan? Well I hate this and I blame X for this. Let me tell you how our party was hijacked. OK, now, please tell me your plan and how your party was hijacked? Well,I hate X,Y,and Z. Well we know you hate X.Y. and Z, so please what is your plan? I hate. Well I seem to get it now. Did ya miss anger management 101? Oh, and; I am a real victim. Please tell me your real problems-I mean how much cash do you need? Please tell me what I owe you? Well that welfare check did not help me, and; I got a loan from my mom's neocon hubbie. He does not like us. You said loan? Did you get a loan? What loan. That SOB owes us. He can take my mom to Vegas, buy her anything. but; he will not buy us a trailor.

To acknowledge the true face of Islamofascism and its aims would mean having to concede the necessity of phone surveillance, tough interrogation, common sense profiling, a reliance on the CIA and a strong military -- all things they were taught to disdain.

Liberals will point to the detection and apprehension of the perps and say that demonstrates that a law enforcement approach, not a military approach, is needed for terrorism.

And then they will turn around and seek to take away the most vital tools for law enforcement in detecting terrorist plots. So they're simply not serious. But that's hardly a surprise.

The left is wrong about the essential nature of people and the world and they can't admit that because to do so would mean abandonment of their status, which is all the author is basically saying. He's quite right.
