Infantilism Of the Left

Submitted by Robert L. (USMC, ret.), Jan 5, 2008 11:04

John T, apparently, you're trying to tell us you've been to war and have seen combat? Well, "assuming" you have, so have i. (3 tours in Viet Nam) Your message, typical of the left, is one of surrender and defeatism. You are obviously part of that "war is not the answer" crowd. Well, what is the answer? What is the answer to aggression and terrorism, to suicide bombers and child killers? What is your idea of the "proper" response to those who say, "live as i say or die"? Negotiate? Hold hands? Or, is it simply to surrender and hope they like you enough not to behead you. It's pretty difficult to hold a seminar with someone who's wearing an explosive vest, and who's only goal in life is to kill you!

Remember something, whenever a radical force or oppressive power takes control of a country, (or a people) the first one's "put against the wall and blindfolded", are those of you on the left, because it's well-known that you are easily duped, and can't be trusted by anyone. Those of you who have anointed yourselves as "intellectuals, enlightened ones, and knowers of all that is right".
