“Give the Modern Liberal the choice between Saddam Hussein and the United States, and he will not only side with Saddam Hussein; he will slander America and Americans in order to do so.”

Truth!

can I get a witness?!

Putting 2 + 2 together, the Hollywood Left he illuminates as leading America down the moral and ethical rathole is the same Hollywood that was controlled by Communists and their sympathizers in the 40s and 50s.

Lenin and Stalin after him recognized that film was the most effective way to manipulate thought.

Today the Hollywood Left blindly continues their mission of destroying all that's good and moral - even long after their masters have gone.

Thanks for this post. Especially meaningful is the (liberal) reality that once you subscribe to indiscriminateness, anything other than indiscriminateness is the evil of having discriminated.

Theodore Roosevelt
There is no more unhealthy being, no man less worthy of respect, than he who either really holds, or feigns to hold, an attitude of sneering disbelief toward all that is great and lofty, whether in achievement or in that noble effort which, even if it fails, comes to second achievement. A cynical habit of thought and speech, a readiness to criticise work which the critic himself never tries to perform, an intellectual aloofness which will not accept contact with life's realities - all these are marks, not as the possessor would fain to think, of superiority but of weakness. They mark the men unfit to bear their part painfully in the stern strife of living, who seek, in the affection of contempt for the achievements of others, to hide from others and from themselves in their own weakness. The rôle is easy; there is none easier, save only the rôle of the man who sneers alike at both criticism and performance.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds . . .

Very good, and I appreciate it that he says they are 100% wrong on every single thing, because they are.
