How the Left makes themselves feel better

I picked up these links from some Facebook Wall Posts from TSO and Blackfive this morning. But first Matty O’Blackfive posted a link from fucktard Paul Krugman, the most intellectually dishonest economist on the planet who tells us that the last ten years have been “The Years of Shame“;

What happened after 9/11 — and I think even people on the right know this, whether they admit it or not — was deeply shameful. Te [sic] atrocity should have been a unifying event, but instead it became a wedge issue. Fake heroes like Bernie Kerik, Rudy Giuliani, and, yes, George W. Bush raced to cash in on the horror. And then the attack was used to justify an unrelated war the neocons wanted to fight, for all the wrong reasons.

A lot of other people behaved badly. How many of our professional pundits — people who should have understood very well what was happening — took the easy way out, turning a blind eye to the corruption and lending their support to the hijacking of the atrocity?

The atrocity WAS a unifying event, until the Left realized that they were losing support when people began speculating how a Democrat president (namely Al Gore) would have reacted to the terrorist attack, which had been in the planning stages during the Clinton Administration. The Democrats tried everything…they even unanimously passed the PATRIOT Act in the Senate…to prove that they were good custodians of our National Security. But given their history, the American people weren’t buying it. So fucktards like the aforementioned fucktard, Paul Krugman, took up the mantle of the intellectually dishonest and did stupid shit like magnifying so-called atrocities, telling the American people that we were better than Guantanamo and taking the fight to the enemy.

Saddam Hussein issued copies of “Black hawk Down” to his commanders as an instructional tool to show them how to resist an American attack. The left called our wars “occupations” and even they knew it was an innaccurate portrayal of our operations, since we had never really occupied a foreign country. Besides China in the 19th century.

The link from TSO is to Truthdig’s Chris Hedges, who writes in “A Decade After 9/11: We Are What We Loathe“;

We have still not woken up to whom we have become, to the fatal erosion of domestic and international law and the senseless waste of lives, resources and trillions of dollars to wage wars that ultimately we can never win. We do not see that our own faces have become as contorted as the faces of the demented hijackers who seized the three commercial jetliners a decade ago. We do not grasp that Osama bin Laden’s twisted vision of a world of indiscriminate violence and terror has triumphed. The attacks turned us into monsters, grotesque ghouls, sadists and killers who drop bombs on village children and waterboard those we kidnap, strip of their rights and hold for years without due process. We acted before we were able to think. And it is the satanic lust of violence that has us locked in its grip.

Yeah, Chris, it wasn’t the Right or Osama bin Laden that made us that way, it was the Left who has perpetuated this war beyond it’s logical conclusion by giving the enemy moral support, from the moment the “human shields” were posted at Hussein’s critical war assets, from the time three congressmen stood on the roof of Hussein’s palace and declared that Hussein was more trustworthy than our own president. From the moment of the birth of the IVAW. From the first calls from the Veterans For Peace for the impeachment of President Bush. From the time James Webb, an elected Senator, snubbed President Bush in the White House.

From the first time intellectual midgets like Chris Hedges blamed those who demanded that those attacks never occur again on American soil for the way this war was waged against 10th century throwbacks who behead innocent journalists, throw acid in the faces of preteen girls, murder their own countrymen in droves to make a political point. What we really loathe are dhimmis who are perfectly content to allow Americans to die by the thousands in unanswered attacks.

Has anyone heard anyone from the Left present an alternative to the way we’ve waged war against Muslim extremists? Other than ending the war abruptly? It’s the left who has taken on the ugly face of revenge and bloodlust since they began calling for a declaration of victory now that bin Laden is dead. It wasn’t about revenge or pay back, the war against terror was about preventing the next attack on innocent Americans going about their daily lives, which it has so far accomplished.

The blood that is on the Left’s collective hands is that of the American fighting men and women who died because of the Left’s protected right to be vocal retards and undermine our troops’ valiant efforts. Chris Hedges, you are what we loathe.
