Trolling the lefty blogs in prep for tonight’s radion show I came accross this post in the #1 Left Blog the Daily Kos. I was searching for some posts on the main issues of the day (Bolton/UN, Lebannon/Israel conflict, Bloogers and Pork, and Iraq). The vast majority of the recent posts I found were almost exclusively anti-Lieberman and anti-Bush. The blog was eerily silent with regard to the conflict in the Middle East. More on that tonight. For now consider this post with all that is going on in the world. I think you can learn a lot about contemporary liberalism and the state of the Democrat Party from this post.
It begins:
Fallujah. Signing statements. Abu Ghraib.
Waterboarding. Stress positions. Free speech zones.
The theological and historical differences between Sunni and Shi’ite. How levees are constructed. Why levees fail.
These are things I knew nothing about until George W. Bush.
And gets even more strange:
Some nights I go to sleep under this administration and wonder: What new horror am I going to have cram into my head tomorrow morning? What new form of torture? What unfamiliar town or province?
My brain’s been hijacked and my eagerness to read news killed. I know too much now compared with how much I knew in the innocent 1990’s. And there seems no way to un-know it or bleach it clean of the flavor of its original acquisition. (I still see the infamous picture of the hooded prisoner standing on the box, arms outspread at Abu Ghraib, on a background of baby blue because I first encountered the photo and the terse, stunned narrative of horror over at Billmon’s Whiskey Bar.)
And there it is. Your mainstream liberal posting on the #1 Liberal Blog the Daily Kos. Waxing eloquent about the halcyon days when Slick Willy was getting beaners in the Oval Office, fondling women his daughter’s age, and turning down the opportunity to capture and kill Osama who orchestarted that little ole thing that is commonly referred to as 9-11.
Susan G from the Daily Kos is kept awake at night not by the thought of Islamic Jihadists blowing up Boston or worrying about how are soldiers are holding up in Iraq fighting the Jihaists. No, Susan is more worried about the fact that the throat cutting savages might have to endure waterboarding or loud Christine Aguillera music.
So those of you who say: “I’m going to vote for the challenger whatever party he may belong to b/c Republicans and Democrats are fundamentally the same” I challenge you to find a post on the blogosphere from a mainline conservative blog that is this utterly deranged. Remember, Susan is a major contributor to the Daily Kos where Democratic Politicians in the Congress suck up to and write for. She is not some anomolous commenter on the blog. Her post in my opinion is a major illustration of why modern day liberal thinking poses such an immense threat to our nation.
These people have lost it entirely.
