Ain’t it funny? Cindy Sheehan was supposed to represent a watershed. She was supposed to tip the nation towards a Vietnam-style loss on the homefront. She was the next Rosa Parks.

Some liberals sure have a short memory. I got this flier while going to the Cindy Sheehan thing (which I walked out of) about a Baltimore school board protest, a nationwide strike day, and a national march, and whatnot. They got some funny bullet points, let me reproduce most of them:

• Don’t let them kidnap our youth for the military!
• Don’t die for the Pentagon & Big Oil!
• Turn our outrage over Katrina into a movement — On the 50th anniversary of the day that Rosa Parks sparked the modern civil rights movement — Dec 1 Nationwide Strike — teach-ins, marches, sit-ins — Saturday — Dec 3 mass marches Wall Street to DC
• Baltimore School Board — Honor Rosa Parks Day — No school!

Turn our outrage over Katrina into a movement? Just like the movement that Cindy Sheehan started?

And: Kidnap our youth for the military? These volunteers?

No wonder protesting doesn’t do anything anymore. These people have a very skewed view of reality.

I was talking to someone before the Cindy Sheehan thing and she said that she didn’t think we should have invaded Afghanistan. That shows you the mentality of those severely lacking an understanding of geopolitics.

One of the persons on stage did some type of rap about 9/11. He said 9/11 was justified. That really pissed me off.

They rattled on about Iraqi self-determination. They say we need to get out to let the Iraqis govern themselves, while they ignore that without the war Saddam would still be in power. They prattle on about the innocent Iraqis dying, ignoring the fact that the insurgents are the ones killing innocents.

They complain about propaganda from the right. They complain about our soundbite culture. Yet, their soundbite says, “The war is a lie.” They don’t understand that you can go to a war for multiple reasons: to establish democracy, to take out an evil dictator, to find weapons of mass destruction, oil, and more.

Go to a mass grave in Iraq and tell them that our American soldiers died for nothing. Tell it to an Iraqi mother who lost her child to Saddam. They say they care about human lives, but they’re hypocrites. Selfish hypocrites. Whither liberalism! These same people who say that we’re one global family say we should turn to isolationalism. They don’t care about their brothers and sisters suffering in Iraq! They don’t care about women being oppressed in foreign countries. All they can do is love their neighbor (and, for some of them, hate their country).

I don’t think this applies to liberalism in general. So, why are these whackjobs the spokespeople for the left?
