Freedom, Orwell would be proud of the way they keep repeating that “F” word in their Dilbert-esque”mission statements”, seeking to convince the masses that if they aren’t with them, then they are against “freedom”(just as anybody opposing “progressives” must be against progress.)

The Activist Left is every bit as deluded and ignorant as the craziest religious types. They actually believe that Shiite style public self-flagellation and bloodletting will somehow prevent another 9-11,in the same way a demented Hillbilly thinks that his faith will protect him from snake bite.

At least the snake handler only endangers himself.

Another thing that occurred to me is that his ground has nothing whatsoever to do with current events, you know, like Bush turning America into a jackbooted police state–that kind of thing. A visitor arriving 50 or 100 years from now wouldn’t have the slightest idea why the man who spread democracy to the Middle East and freed 50 million people from tyrannical regimes was being portrayed as Erich Honecker–at least I hope not.

This memorial is to be a historical record of what happened. When you see the battlefield of Vicksburg, you aren’t thinking, “Boy the Southerners, they were bad people who deserved to die.” You think, “What awful carnage. We can’t ever let this happen again.”

This is a blood-boiling outrage. These people have truly slipped their masks: they are the enemy. They don’t support the troops, and they never have. They are a bunch of self-loathing sixties greybeards who can’t get over themselves and their exquisite sensitivity to the feelings of tyrants. (Soros is a self-loathing freak of a different order altogether.)

There has been a great deal of commentary on this already, but this piece of crap must not be allowed anywhere near the place where those poor bastards were burned alive or crushed to death or went splat on the pavement.

Mr. Bernstein should climb off his imaginary high horse for a moment and ask himself this: Do you think the people murdered would want to know their memory was being kept alive with a lecture about America’s supposed sins–the alleged reversal of human rights? (Such as what Tom: Subpeonaing library records? Taking your shoes off at the airport? Asshat–ed.) Or would they rather be remembered for the sheer injustice done to them by evil foreigners for the base sin of getting up and going to work one fine September morning.
