I have the same problem- there's a disconnect in perception so vast that I won't even bother to point out the error in such thinking. I read over "Ready to rumble? Village Voice Author, Rick Perlstein, Here to Debate the Freeper Horde" and while Perlstein seems a lot more rational and generally decent than the average Avatar from the left side, there is an unbreachable gulf fixed between us.
There is NO defense for Liberalism; however, I refuse to debate with him because I don't want to take advantage of the mentally ill. LOL!
Rick Perlstein,
Finally, in what I see as the errors of the Iraq campaign, I recognize the worst aspects of arrogant left-wing utopianism: the idea that you can remake a whole society and region through sheer force of will. I think Iraq is a tragic disaster (though for the time being the country is probably better off than it was when Saddam was around--but only, I fear, for the time being).
What I find flagrantly irresponsible and even dangerous in a time of war, is the arrogant demagoguery of the Left. They don't mind spreading and perpetuating the same factual errors that they claim this war was based on.
The Left's contention that the war in Iraq was fought because of GW's Saudi connections and his desire for oil are not only a lie, but a premeditated and well orchestrated campaign to derail the war efforts, weaken the Bush presidency, and defeat him in the next election.
The Saudis were totally against the war as most of the Middle Eastern dictators were, since a neighboring democracy is the last thing they want to see.
Thanks for the ping, dead.
