The peace and love and flower power of the old left was dead and gone

I had been saying that there were a lot of hippies that might ought to grow up. But on thinking this through… I think that misses the point. Yes, old hippies still need to grow up. But that is not the ultimate problem. The ultimate problem is the far left are like viruses in that they hijack and consume legitimate movements and bastardize them to their own illegitimate ends. For example the environmental movement, fair housing, health care… and the list goes on. It is like the far left sucks all the life and energy from these legitimate movements and focuses it onto the larger goal of societal and world change that is not necessarily consistent with these original movements and that for the most part, nobody save for a few in the far left really wants.

My local greeting card store sold very flattering cards about Obama, insulting ones about Hillary, and a Hillary “nutcracker.” When I complained, the young male manager literally laughed in my face.

Actress Sarah Bernhardt hoped a gang of black males would rape her. When Palin’s church was torched with children inside, the press was missing in action (somehow I imagine the press would have been all over this if Obama’s church were torched). Not only was the misogyny disgusting, but the classism was abhorrent. The Democrats, by ridiculing Palin’s voice and her education, were acting like arrogant snobs. The party had changed, I had changed, and the differences looked irreconcilable.

Suddenly a light went on. The peace and love and flower power of the old left was dead and gone (if it even existed to begin with except in my imagination). The Democrats had morphed into a power hungry Thought Police, and I was done with them. My new motto in life: don’t PC on me.

This disgusts and angers me! I had no idea someone torched Palin’s church with CHILDREN INSIDE!! Where the hell was the MSM? This is what Democrats wanted? Innocent children to be killed?

There are many of these stories. There are also many that came to this realization. Thank you for the link.

“I would speculate that he was missing because he was such an embarrassment to the Bush administration,” said Tom Malinowski, the head of the Washington office of Human Rights Watch. “He was Exhibit A in the narrative that tortured confessions contributed to the massive intelligence failure that preceded the Iraq war.”

The first independent confirmation of Libi’s whereabouts came two weeks ago. Heba Morayef, a researcher for Human Rights Watch, said she and a colleague met him briefly in a courtyard at the Abu Salim prison on April 27. The two were there to examine the treatment of prisoners in Libya, including other detainees once held by the United States.”

Cracking me up – I can just see this Tazmanian Devil racing through the house cleaning…Is that close?

SO tragic, so horrifying, so unnecessary…

The importance of music like McKennitt’s is not to mask the horrible tragedies in this world, or wat our leadership is doing to this country, but to help us cope with them. Thank heavens for that…

Thank you RRRA, yes, we do need a break from what these radical Dem’s are doing.

The people in this world can be divided into two fundamenal sorts, one of which is responsible for virtually all of the human-made misery in the world.

The division isn’t about gender, race, religious, or political affiliations.

But sadly, so do the poor Afghans that are being blown up.

Becoming What We Seek to Destroy

Posted on May 10, 2009
By Chris Hedges

The bodies of dozens, perhaps well over a hundred, women, children and men, their corpses blown into bits of human flesh by iron fragmentation bombs dropped by U.S. warplanes in a village in the western province of Farah, illustrates the futility of the Afghan war. We are not delivering democracy or liberation or development. We are delivering massive, sophisticated forms of industrial slaughter. And because we have employed the blunt and horrible instrument of war in a land we know little about and are incapable of reading, we embody the barbarism we claim to be seeking to defeat.

We are morally no different from the psychopaths within the Taliban, who Afghans remember we empowered, funded and armed during the 10-year war with the Soviet Union. Acid thrown into a girl’s face or beheadings? Death delivered from the air or fields of shiny cluster bombs? This is the language of war. It is what we speak. It is what those we fight speak.

Afghan survivors carted some two dozen corpses from their villages to the provincial capital in trucks this week to publicly denounce the carnage. Some 2,000 angry Afghans in the streets of the capital chanted “Death to America!” But the grief, fear and finally rage of the bereaved do not touch those who use high-minded virtues to justify slaughter. The death of innocents, they assure us, is the tragic cost of war. It is regrettable, but it happens. It is the price that must be paid. And so, guided by a president who once again has no experience of war and defers to the bull-necked generals and militarists whose careers, power and profits depend on expanded war, we are transformed into monsters.

INDEED!

But, sadly, as we’ve learned from over the pond, the body count from Tuesdays’ bombing on innocent Afghans is up to 147, including children and women.

OH! And of course, many more injured.

Look at this little girl, burned by bombs dropped.
