Shock: Majority Of Democrats Finally Admit To Wanting An American DefeatThe shock isn't that they feel this way; we've long known. The shock is that the media has been so sympathetic to this position that liberals finally feel comfortable enough to admit it. Fox asked, “Regardless of how you voted in the presidential election, would you say you want President Bush to succeed or not?” 51% of Democrats answered “No” to that question. 40% answered yes, and 9%, who are still apparently trying to determine just how deranged they are by their Bush hatred, answered “I don’t know.” Let me quote again Gary Kamiya, writing in Salon, after the Fall of Baghdad, ca. April 9, 2003. He titles, or teases, the second page of this hateful screed with the words Those of us who opposed the war have been driven to moral schizophrenia. Schizophrenia or psychopathy? I have a confession: I have at times, as the war has unfolded, secretly wished for things to go wrong. Wished for the Iraqis to be more nationalistic, to resist longer. Wished for the Arab world to rise up in rage. Wished for all the things we feared would happen. I'm not alone: A number of serious, intelligent, morally sensitive people who oppose the war have told me they have had identical feelings. Emphasis added. Well, when that disgusting, shameful confession was printed, there were two main sorts of respones by liberals: Honest responses by liberals, praising him for his "courage" in writing what many of them felt, and dishonest responses by liberals, claiming this is just One Lone Nut who doesn't speak for the majority of the Demcoratic Party. 51%. Fifty. Fucking. One. Percent. Are they going to still claim this is a "fringe" voice? How many of them secretly wished the mass bombing of planes had actually worked, and killed up to 3000 people, just to avoid the "greater moral negative" of Bush seeming to be successful in thwarting terrorism? Think that's crazy? Well, look back at the quote above. There's Kamiya admitting he'd hoped for greater American military casualties just to keep Bush from garnering too much political capital from the war.
He recommends the PETA episode. So do I. And the bottled water/health scare episode? Watch that too. PS: When I say "Dishonest liberals claim" that this is just "One Lone Nut," that's what I mean. I don't mean to imply that all liberals want the War on Terror to fail just so they can get a President in the White House. I've personally witnessed liberals -- even left-liberals -- arguing quite heatedly with fellow liberals on similar points. I suspect the heat there was partly due to how incredbily political damaging this sort of talk is for the left, but there was genuine revulsion over the sentiment itself. However: Those liberals who have for so longed claimed this was merely a "fringe" position, having nothing to do with mainstream liberals or the Democratic Party, only a phenomenon of the fringe anarchist ultraleft? You are liars. You always have been. You've heard your fellow liberals say just this sort of thing, frequently. 51% of Democrats -- not even just liberals! -- cop to believing this. It is simply not credible that you don't encounter such people frequently, or that you have somehow managed to be out of earshot when they were declaring these vile wishes. You are liars. Period. End of sentence, end of line, end of file.
Or take Jonathan Schell, writing in the Sept. 22 issue of the Nation: "[Democratic Senator Joe] Biden says we must win the war. This is precisely wrong. The United States must learn to lose this war a harder task, in many ways, than winning, for it requires admitting mistakes and relinquishing attractive fantasies. This is the true moral mission of our time." There's a book out now the liberals like called "The One Percent Doctrine," which is taken, I think, from Cheney's formulation that we must act vigorously against terrorism when there is even a one percent chance of it. (That's the gist, but I may have the details wrong.) Obviously the book isn't high on the One Percent Doctrine. That's why liberals love it so. Let me suggest a new doctrine: The Fifty One Percent Doctrine. We must not allow a party to regain power when fifty-one percent of its members admit to wishing for American defeat in battles and misery in economic recession simply to get their candidates in office. | Recent Comments
