Contradictions.
It’s ironic how these things develop.
The media of the world hates America, especially despising our country’s strength. Yet, without America’s victories in World War II and the Cold War, the media would not have freedom; and unless America defeats radical Islam, the media of the world will lose its freedom.
Liberals, left-wingers, and multiculturalists are worried about the tens of millions of newcomer immigrants who have arrived on America’s shores since 1965, when the doors of immigration were temporarily re-opened. They say the immigrants, many of them from Third World countries, are victims in American society. Once they get to America, they are discriminated against. Yet, liberals, left-wingers, and multiculturalists want immigration to America to continue indefinitely at its present extremely high rate.
Opponents of the War on Terrorism oppose going on the offensive by liberating Iraq, and oppose going on the defensive by implementing terrorism-preventing legislation like the Patriot Act. Yet, they are not taking crash courses in Arabic.
Feminist multiculturalists want women’s rights here and abroad. Yet, they uncritically embrace traditional cultures, especially the ones that treat women as property.
Blue state people criticize Christianity for the excesses of some of its faithful, and call Islam “a religion of peace.” Yet, I don’t see many of them converting to the religion of Mohammed Atta.
Hard-core Democrats hate George W. Bush, calling him moronic and stupid, comparing him to a chimpanzee. Yet, their man Howard Dean is at about the same intellectual level.
The establishment Left and the paleoliberals criticize the independent Left and the real liberals for supporting the Iraq war, which killed 10,000 civilians. Yet, they don’t talk about the over 270 mass graves found since Saddam was kicked out.
The anti-Zionist, dhimmi Left strongly supports full civil rights for the terrorists detained at Guantanamo. Yet, they say the one sovereign state in the Middle East that provides civil rights to its citizens, Israel, should cease to exist.
The antiwar crusaders are against Israel’s terrorism-prevention wall, and were very upset with Ronald Reagan for saying in West Berlin, “Mr Gorbachev, tear down this wall.” Yet, they take pride in defending humanity’s freedom.
