Speaking of verbatim quotes, I was just checking out some of the posts on their forum, when this one stopped me cold. It is such a perfect amalgam of the smugness mixed with idiocy which constitute the liberal mind. I had to share:

What is wrong with humanism? What is wrong with the Christian philosophy of being thy brother’s keeper? We should try to understand what makes a HUMAN BEING do evil. F-ing conservatives classify the other as subhuman and then destroy them; to say nothing of the children/innocents who get caught in the crossfire. Killing people is not right. The reason the world is the place that it is, is because of people like Wolfowitz, et al. How do we know peace and friendship can’t work? How do we know that all this money that we waste on our military ($600 billion or so per year) couldn’t be better spent fighting world poverty, disease, digging fresh water wells, etc.? How do we know? I mean who ever liked the biggest richest bully? No one did or does. I do not understand how people who claim to be Christians and actually understand what that means, can be so blood thirsty. Would Jesus have invaded Iraq? Now don’t be confused I am a devote agnostic, but I spent time in Catholic prison (school).

Good grief. Talk about a naive liberal.

- The ancient Jews wanted to live in peace, but the Romans wanted to conquer them. Anyone remember Masada? (I don't need to be Jewish to know my history).

- The medieval Russians wanted peace, but the Mongols wanted to conquer them. The Russians were decades (or was it centuries?) throwing them off.

- The Chinese wanted peace...and the Japanese *really* wanted to expand. How many times did they fight?

- The Anglo-Saxons wanted peace, but a guy named William had something to say about that. In case you're wondering, he has a lot to do with the fact that we say "houses" instead of "housen".

- Most of eastern Europe wanted peace, but the Ottoman Turks wanted to expand. What's four hundred years of Turkish rule between friends?

- The Poles wanted to live in peace...but the Prussians, Austro-Hungarians, and Russians wanted their land. Poland ACTUALLY DISAPPEARED for a while.

- Ever heard of Napoleon? Need I say any more?

- Ever heard of ADOLF HITLER? Do any liberals think any flavor of "humanism" would have worked on him? Go ahead, you liberals, take a whack at it. Make any argument you want regarding this guy: I triple-dog dare you. Think you could have found a soft spot in Hitler's heart before September 1, 1939?

It's real simple. People are broken. Humanism doesn't work because there will always be some greedy SOB who doesn't give a rat's behind what you think or how much it hurts when he hacks off the favorite part of your body to get what he wants. That's why humanism doesn't work: some people aren't human, never were human, and never will be human.

I live by the following quote:

"The naive, wishing for peace, is the surest possible way to encourage an aggressor."
