Moral Bankruptcy of the Left
I have noted before that the comfortable marriage between the political Left and the Islamists is one of convenience. The Left has purged itself of the capacity for violence so they are hoping the terrorists will do their dirty work but leave them in power.
Dr. Sanity doesn't quite expand on that theme but spends a great deal of energy exposing the frail underpinnings of Modern Liberalism. I like what she said a lot better.
Someday, it will occur to someone that the Left has not had a single new idea for over half a century and that none of the "great" programs they have created have actually worked. Yet they guard those programs jealously, afraid of any new ideas or approaches that might make them have doubts in their precious ideology.Instead of reducing poverty, they have created a class of people dependent on the government for their survival and thus they ensure continuing poverty--even through the generations. Motivation is destroyed. Self-respect is trashed. Victimhood and passivity become a way of life whose worse aspects are glorified in the music and culture of the newly created welfare class.
Read. It. All.
Thanks to Malkin again.
