Liberalism meets its Waterloo (ISIS)
American Thinker ^ | Greg Richards

Posted on 11/29/2015 4:55:36 AM PST by RoosterRedux

The standing joke about a liberal is...

"A liberal is somebody who is so open-minded that he won't take his own side in a fight."

And so it is proving. The only problem with Obama being unable to take his own side in a fight is that it is our side as well. And the rest of us are not ready to go gentle--and take our families--into that beheading good night.

What's going on? Liberalism is the philosophy of giving away that which has been built by its forebears. To liberals, defending themselves, their society, their institutions, their customs, their culture is anathema because that would offend the attacker! And they can't have that! Not giving offense is liberalism's highest value.

The people who built and/or are a part of what is being attacked don't count. Their sacrifice, their achievement in having created what is being attacked make them privileged in the liberal mind and therefore their opinion, their very existence, is invalid.

If Obama were to stand in front of Congress and call for unconditional surrender of our enemy--ISIS--he would be validating all that he hates: the history of America as run by dead white men. Where would that leave him as the avatar of retribution on America for her sins, the very reason he is president?

Obama sees Islam as a culture superior to our Judeo--Christian one--that is to say to the one that he is leading and is sworn to defend. He cannot bring himself to see jihadi Islam--ISIS--as an enemy, even though there has perhaps never been one so stark.

Baraq Hussein is truly taking his own side in the fight. His side is truly not our side. His side is ISIS and and True Islam. He means to set in motion those events he thinks will destroy the Shia heresy and the Jews and disable the primary roadblock to Sunni Moslem domination of the West, America.

or, he is a pacifist that tolerates no warlike aggression and doesn’t really tolerate defense if there can be lawyers and negotiations

Vietnam ended war

If there are islamic reasons for his action, they are secondary

Peace at any price is the primary motivation

Obama sees Islam as a culture superior to our Judeo--Christian one----the culture he is leading and is sworn to defend. He cannot bring himself to see jihadi Islam--ISIS--as an enemy, even though there has perhaps never been one so stark.

Islam is also the Obamas ticket to easy street....the way he and Michelle plan to get-rich-quick.

NO WONDER MRS O WAS DANCING HER FOOL *** OFF IN THE WH Just a few months ago, Michelle was compassionately telling Brits we have to teach our girls.....an idea she stole from the teen Nobel winner who was disfigured by Islamacists for saying the same thing.

Fast forward----last week Obama gave Michelle $73 million tax dollars to teach Muslim girls in fabulously wealthy Qatar...like they need $73 million US dollars. No wonder Michelle was dancing her fool *** off. She's got $73 million tax dollars stashed away in the Mid-east.

=====================================

The Obamas got two Clintonesque foundations (two that we know of) by which they plan to rake in zillions.

All these entities control billions of dollars---and Obama is lying-in-wait for his share: foreign donations, lucrative insider trade deals from untapped resources, energy deals, telecom deals, arms sales, consultancies, million dollar honorarium...and so on and so forth. ....ad infinitum, ad nauseaum.

===================================================

US TAXPAYERS PAY NOW---Obama collects later.

Obama's federal outlays (that we know of).:

<><> $150 billion to Muslim Iran in the nuclear deal,

<><> $2 billion outright funding to brother Malik's organization---the Muslim Brotherhood,

<><> $50 million to Malik/Barack's tax-exempt foundation in the form of a grant to Kenya.

<><> While the Muslim Brotherhood was in charge in Egypt, Obama (and Hillary) showered them w/ praise.....and billions of US dollars in aid, arms, tanks and planes.

<><> Obama gave $90 million US tax dollars to wealthy oil-rich Muslim African Muslim countries.

<><> the billions missing from the Obamacare scam.

Right. He’s passing himself off as a Leftie, but he’s actually a jihadi.

A liberal is somebody who is so open-minded that he won’t take his own side in a fight.

John McCain immediately comes to mind, cheering on his opponent, Barack Obama, in the 2008 Presidential Election.

That sums up the problem.

Some of his supporters agree with him. Some of them refuse to admit what the problem is. Some of them are too stupid to understand the problem.

It is easier for the pious liberal to point the islamaphobe finger at those who sound the alarm than to heed the alarm.

They get to act superior and believe they will die in peace before the reality of jihad swamps their children in blood.

They are gutless pricks.

Not giving offense is liberalism’s highest value.

This is not quite true.

The fundamental tenet of liberalism is that justice is the highest moral value, higher than truth, and that everything and anything, including truth, must be subordinated to justice. However, the fundamental flaw of liberalism is the failure to understand that truth and justice are the same thing and cannot be separated and that the sacrifice of one is unavoidably the sacrifice of both.

Liberalism is the creed of the morally and intellectually lazy. What it wants is not justice at all; it's vengeance, or perhaps the settling of scores, which is probably the same thing.

In its quest for justice, liberalism divides all people into two groups: victims and predators. Not giving offense to designated victims is one of liberalism's highest values. Giving offense to designated predators is acceptable.

This reflects the profound moral confusion and failure of liberalism: scorn of truth, the mistaking of vengeance for justice, and the mistaking of iconoclasm for open-mindedness (liberalism).

Liberalism is profoundly untrue, unjust, and illiberal, but those caught in its trap, for varying reasons, do not understand this.

Pacifism or Liberalism or Communism or Incompetence; each is invoked to explain Hussein’s actions and words. Each could explain some of these things. One thing that explains ALL his actions and words, is adherence to Islam and determination to promote the Islamization of the world with all his ability and guile. I suspect someone else behind him is responsible for at least some of that ability and guile, his Vizier Jarrette, perhaps.

A society that brutally oppresses and murders Christian and Western culture is a liberal wet dream, not a “waterloo”. That is the dream they share.
