Sometimes we really have to wonder: are liberals un-seriously smirking about what they can get away with or are they just that stupid: Remember, HuffPo’s lament yesterday was that righty bloggers were supposedly practicing a double standard between …

Shouldn’t that be “…dhimmed if we do…”?

The Jerusalem Post reports that Secretary Rice has sought the advice of Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton ahead of her planned Middle East peace conference scheduled to take place soon in Annapolis. The White House called the meeting with Carter positive and “to the point.”

The Post also reports that Rice has recently conferred with Dennis Ross, James Baker, Henry Kissinger, and Madeleine Albright. Having died in 2002, Cyrus Vance was unfortunately unavailable. Secretary Rice means to do some serious damage before she leaves office.

And to think, I used to believe she would be a good president. Is there a brain-damaging virus at the Departmet of State?

for all the whining they do

You can pretty much stop there, since that is Liberalism in a nutshell.

the Islamic equivalent of a chastity belt

It’s not. A chastity belt is something far, far worse in practice. Though if you talk about symbolic meanings, the headscarf is worse.

If I had not been reading daily Greta’s Blog at Gretawire, I would probably be critical myself of our First Lady, Mrs. Laura Bush wearing a head scarf. (it was not worn in public) A picture was taken in a private home, after it being presented to her….

Wasn’t the head scarf a gift and didn’t our GREAT First Lady do what any would have done when presented with a gift?

You people who condemn Laura need to spend a few days in the South so you can learn manners.

Female Pakistani Minister Shot Dead for Refusing to Wear Veil

and this from last fall:

Sweden’s Muslim minister [Nyamko Sabuni, a woman] turns on veil

Ick.

What gets me is that they have no condemnation of the treatment of women by Islamic cultures but get outraged when the right jumps on western women for feeding the mysogeny of Islam.

I will take the blame for being harsh on western women who wear the hajib (almost called it the hajob) if the left admits that it is totally silent on the case of how Islam treats women

One of the things that bugs me about people on the left is how little they actually care for repressed people in other countries. Military action is always bad, no matter how much good comes of it. Foreign aid is always good, no matter how much of it goes into the pockets of the regime leaders or how little it does to ultimately solve the problem of why people need aid in the first place.

With Laura Bush, I imagine it was purely politeness that she wore it. Whether or not George W. wanted her to do so or not. Being polite in general is her nature.

With Pelosi, no telling why she wore it; politeness, wanting to show solidarity with / subservience to sharia, or whatever. I don’t care that she wore it, I only care that she was there to undermine America and hurt our efforts to stabilize the world. Treason is treason, and how you dress when committing treason is pretty much irrelevant.
