“The Left like to assert that terrorists are merely “insurgents” who offer “social services” to “the poor.”
This act is exactly the kind of “social services” that terrorists specialize in.”
So then they say “lone extremists, most of them aren’t like this etc. they give the rest a bad name”
It’s not about facts to the left any more. It’s just about winning the argument.
I would boil it down even further: it’s less about winning the argument and more about winning, period.
For the most part, the Left doesn’t debate as such any more. All of their positions have become undebatable either through pseudo-”science” (”Global warming is settled science. There can be no more debate”) or pseudo-”morality” (”Health care / entitlements / undocumented worker rights is a moral issue and is above politics.”). If forced to argue issues, they have nothing but ad-hominems (Bush is stupid” or “Rush is a racist”) or tautologies (Ann Coulter is bad because she’s evil). Total intellectual bankruptcy.
