These people are not anti-war. They’re on the other side.

Ask yourself honestly, how solid is the Patriotism of the average Liberal, the War on Terror and Bush-Hatred notwithstanding?

Honestly it’s not that solid I’m afraid.

Now don’t take that the wrong way. I’m not calling names, or judging, or slandering, or anything like that – but let’s be perfectly honest. When it gets right down to it most Liberals consider Nationalism (along with other traditional social institutions like organized religion) to be a primitive ideology. They consider it to be an archaic method of social organization that we ought to have the “Good Sense” to evolve beyond. Most Liberals see a supreme United Nations (or some sort of Global Federal government) to be the inescapable evolutionary destination of humanity.

As a conservative, while I agree that’s not a totally crazy assumption, I don’t agree at all that it is something that can be achieved while tyranny still runs rampant over half the globe in the form of Middle Eastern Islamism, and Chinese Communism. Nor do I believe that those threats can be appeased, reasoned with, mitigated, or dealt with in any other way than military conflict (or the threat thereof). Beyond that, even if those threats are dealt with one way or the other there still remain huge questions as to whether or not a “One World Government” would even work – just look at the EU for instance.

So in response I would say this:

I trust a Liberal’s love of Freedom and willingness to defend it in their own backyard. But do I trust a Liberal’s patriotism in regards to their own particular Nation, and do I trust them to the see the long-term interest in maintaining the strength of their nation for the purposes of expanding freedom in the face of global tyranny? No, generally speaking for most Liberals I don’t.

Conservatives see the big picture – Liberals don’t.

Put it this way, what do Neo-Nazis have to do with the Ku Klux Klan? Well, according to modern Liberal logic nothing at all. They are two totally separate organizations. But a person who sees the big picture would know better.

What do Al Qaeda, Hezbollah, Hamas, Abu Sayef, Egyptian Islamic Jihad, Saddam Hussein, and Amedinijhad etc. etc. all have in common? Well according to most Liberals they are all disparate regional groups and individuals who seek their own particular demands and can be dealt with separately.

After 40 years of terrorist attacks from every corner of the Muslim world Liberals ought to know better.

What’s more I would argue that the so-called “Moderate Muslim” is a myth. In my mind a “Moderate Muslim” is no better than the “Good People of the South” who wished not to be involved in all the conflict that erupted in the wake of the Civil Rights movement. You’re either for freedom or you’re not in my book.

Apart from Gay Marriage and Abortion as birth control – Liberals are not for freedom, and they sure as hell aren’t patriotic!

I think that Americans should beg ‘conscientious insiders’ of the MSM to leak their sources names. Heck, if goBernment had the stones they would pass a law forcing the vetting of all sources. That would definitely be in the public interest.

I don’t mean to advance this theory, I’m just airing it out. But has anyone ever seen Greenwald and Ellsberg in the same room?

Perhaps one day the United States will return to more responsible freedoms, such as existed in times of national crisis during WWII, where sedition and treason were considered offenses to be punished.

Of course the United States has contingency plans to engage Iran in anything from Nuclear War to mild proxy conflict. Of course they update those plans by the hour, and of course those plans are secret. Would you expect anything less from a world class superpower than can win any war they put their mind to?

Did someone drop an acid tab in my rootbeer? What the heck is going on here? Conspiracy, sure, sedition, yes, treason, yes… Lock this madman up!

Silly me.
