The Left's Love Affair with Europe

Certain people of the leftist persuasion are always trying to convince the rest of us that Europe is superior to America and, quite frankly, I'm getting sick and tired of it. We even hear that certain Supreme Court justices are less interested in what the Constitution says, or common sense would dictate, than in how their decisions will be viewed on the other side of the Atlantic.

Whenever the Europeans do something, no matter how cowardly or corrupt, their champions in our country can be counted on to put the best possible face on it. With one Socialistic country after another perched on the brink of bankruptcy, our yahoos continue to ballyhoo their failed policies as if they were all paid flacks.

What's particularly peculiar is that these are the very same people who dislike white American males of European descent, but who can't stop gushing about white European males. Go figure.

These numbskulls insisted that Bush was a puppet of the Saudis, but ignored the fact that they begged him not to invade Iraq. That's the kind of puppet that only Stephen King could dream up. Without missing a step, they claimed that we were only invading Iraq in order to capture its oil fields. While they no longer repeat that lie, they also never admitted they were mistaken. Odd, though, that they didn't seem to notice that we didn't confiscate Kuwait's oil fields after driving out Saddam Hussein in '91. Instead, they hailed France and Russia for refusing to depose Hussein, ignoring the sweetheart deals both countries had with the oil broker of Baghdad.

One of the favorite lies the leftists like to parrot is that the United States is an imperialistic power. Wouldn't even the dumbest of them have figured out that if we were, we'd have far-flung colonies to show for it? At the very least, wouldn't we have invaded Cuba by this time and sent Castro packing, the way that America's cigar smokers have long demanded?

The truth is, Europe is a hodgepodge of second-rate powers who don't trust each other, and with good reason. A few of them are so fearful of their own Muslim populations that they actually feel they have to line up with Hezbollah and Al-Qaeda against Israel. Of course, being as anti-Semitic as so many Europeans are, they'd probably swing that way in any case....

Of course these American leftists never get upset about suicide bombings in Israel or the anti-Semitic ravings of Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. It's only when Israel defends itself against the lunatics who have sworn to exterminate the Jews that these moral midgets work themselves into a proper frenzy.

PLAN A

Below is an interesting email I received:

Okay, here's the plan:

* Back off and let those men who want to marry men, marry men.
* Allow those women who want to marry women, marry women.
* Allow those folks who want to abort their babies, to abort their babies.
* In three generations, there will be NO Democrats!!!

Damn, I love it when a plan like this comes together

There is a good video here about the rash of fraudulent photos coming out of Lebanon -- all of which have been run in the mainstream media in an attempt to discredit Israel.

Great! "UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan said overnight that the Security Council's failure to act more quickly to end the bloodshed in Lebanon had "badly shaken" the world's faith in the United Nations."

Lax security again: "British police have arrested seven anti-war activists after three of them boarded a US military transport plane at an airport in Scotland to check if it was carrying weapons to Israel, a peace group says. Anti-nuclear campaign group Trident Ploughshares said its activists had cut through a perimeter fence at Prestwick Airport, near Glasgow, on Monday and boarded a US plane to search for evidence of arms shipments to Israel. David Mackenzie, a spokesman for the group said 'security was lax' at the airport, making it easy for Trident Ploughshares' 'war crimes detectives' to board the aircraft in the early hours. The group said the airport has been used by chartered cargo planes to carry US-made bunker-busting bombs to Israel as the war in Lebanon continues."

Bandits with badges: "Society has no problem with law enforcement fighting crime or even confiscating property used in a criminal enterprise but, as with any law, the good intent for which the law was created, has been immensely abused to the point that innocent citizens are losing everything they ever worked for without even being charged or convicted of a crime. Clearly, states need to pass laws to safeguard the rights of the innocent from zealot law enforcement agencies run amuck from the smell of greed."

More European appeasement: "In an attempt to halt gang violence, Barcelona has taken the unusual step of legalising the Latin Kings, registering them as a cultural association that could receive state aid. The feared gang, which was born in 1940s Chicago and has recently spread to Spain, was this week granted the grand title of Asociacion Cultural de Reyes y Reinas Latinos de Cataluna (Cultural Association of Latin Kings and Queens of Catalonia), making it sound more like a medieval court than a band of street thugs. However, the city believes that the way to curb escalating violence is to involve the gang's teenage members in city life."

"All the worth which the human being possesses, all spiritual reality, he possesses only through the State." -- 19th century German philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. Hegel is the most influential philosopher of the Left -- inspiring Karl Marx, the American "Progressives" of the early 20th century and university socialists to this day.

The Big Lie of the late 20th century was that Nazism was Rightist. It was in fact typical of the Leftism of its day. It was only to the Right of Stalin's Communism. The very word "Nazi" is a German abbreviation for "National Socialist" (Nationalsozialistisch)
