The average protester in the streets is a useful idiot. But the other, more pressing problem for the country is the class of liberal politicians who take advantage of the discord to advance their own personal agendas and assent to power.

The useful idiot on the street is in denial of reality that good and evil actually exist in the world, and they are trying to go retro to a time when they didn't have to worry about terror threats, their personal security, or the security of the country. The useful idiot is in denial because threats to personal and national security are constants throughout history, like during the Cold War, or during the period of rising nationalism in the early 20th C. These people blame America first because it is easier to label the strongest and wealthiest country in the world as the problem than it is to actually identify the complexities of good and evil manifest in the relations between different peoples of the world. These people believe essentially in the false concept of an over-riding humanism that links all people's of the world together. The question is this the success of the socialist/communist agenda/indoctrination, or the failure of our own educational system? Could this world view be the product of the nacent narcissism related to American material success in the last half of the 20th C.?

The average protester in the street is wholly misinformed, and literally prefers an ostrich-with-head-in the-sand approach to the problems currently facing our country. These idiots just want the problems (i.e., impending war with Iraq and the war on terror generally) to go away so they can feel safe again - even if such safety is a figment of their imagination or the product of their own wishful thinking.

Totally in line with you...excellent post. Even with all this, George W. Bush takes the high road by reminding the useful idiots that their ability to protest in such a fashion showcases the degree of FREEDOM Americans have, and highlights that essence of our god blessed constitution. What a guy.

INteresting post, Thanks. I have also found members of this group to be almost pathologically conflict averse. Any sign of conflict is taken as a sign that they are bad. "Good People" or "Good countries" do not have conflicts with other people or countries. Therefore we are at fault. Couple confict aversion with the denial of evil and you have the useful idiot.
