The anti-American, hate-filled Left is screaming into the wind--the very wind that blows against everything their malice begs for. Truth is against them, and the people of the world thirst for Truth.

Worthy of a sidebar? An informed Freeper is worthy advocate.

Thanks.

The anti-American, hate-filled Left is screaming into the wind--the very wind that blows against everything their malice begs for.

But to them hypocrisy is a virtue. They will quickly do as Hanson says and morph into this:

So when this is all over — and it will be more quickly than we imagine — there will be a viable constitutional government in Iraq. But the achievement will be considered either a natural organic process, or adopted as a success by former critics only at its safe, penultimate stage.

Iraq is Liberated now. Their future is democratic.
The terrorists are in a quagmire and will lose.
Thank you American military.

Marxist theory requires increasing social and political contradictions as a component of mass radicalization. The problem is, the contradictions should be increased among reactionary exploiters, not revolutionary heroes.

The left is a danger, but it is becoming laughable (please see DUFunnies for Thursday, South Park Katrina satire). The hard-core hatemongers of Democratic Undergraound are typical examples of hate gone mad on contemporary far-left liberal internal contradictions.
