The poor old Leftists. They haven't got a clue. In Sawicky's abuse-filled attack on Intapundit, he tries to say that mainstream Leftists are really decent guys not at all like the fruitcakes we are always hearing about on the American Left. But to prove his point he says that Michael Moore and Chomsky are geat men and ends his own post by saying that if he had had his way Saddam would still be in power! If that's the moderate Left, they all have a bit missing. Scott Campbell comments more extensively on Sawicky than I think he deserves.

What a dilemma for the Left! "During America's commemoration of Black History Month, some pro-life activists are charging that legalized abortion has led to a "black genocide" of more than 14 million unborn African-American babies. They condemn, in particular, the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, whose president Gloria Feldt announced last week that she's resigning. "For every five African-American women who get pregnant, three have an abortion," Clenard Childress Jr., director of the Northeast Chapter of the Life Education And Resource Network, told the Cybercast News Service. "This is a horrific injustice to women, and it's decimating our communities.""

More good news from Iraq: "With a hero who gave his life for the elections, a revived national anthem blaring from car stereos and a greater willingness to help police, the public mood appears to be moving more clearly against the insurgency in Iraq, political and security officials said. In the week since national elections, police officers and Iraqi National Guardsmen said they have received more tips from the public, resulting in more arrests and greater effectiveness in their efforts to weaken the violent insurgency rocking the country".

There is a most interesting site here showing what real patriots were the Hollywood stars of yesteryear. Most of them were WW2 veterans. A great contrast with the utter lack of experience among the empty vessels of today.

One of the more laughable claims of the MSM is that they do fact-checking whereas bloggers do not. "Powerline" has recently given two powerful examples of just who it is that does the fact-checking. See here and here. If something suits MSM biases, it immediately needs no fact-checking, apparently.

My latest posting on MarxWords notes how Marx admitted to being deliberately ambiguous in what he said. My latest posting on "A scripture blog" says Jesus was a conservative insofar as he was political at all.

That power only, not principles, is what matters to Leftists is perfectly shown by the 2004 Kerry campaign. They put up a man whose policies seemed to be 99% the same as George Bush's even though the Left have previously disagreed violently with those policies. "Whatever it takes" is their rule.

Leftists are phonies. For most of them all that they want is to sound good. They don't care about doing good. That's why they do so much harm. They don't really care what the results of their policies are as long as they are seen as having good intentions.

The Big Lie of the late 20th century was that Nazism was Rightist. It was in fact typical of the Leftism of its day. It was only to the Right of Stalin's Communism. The very word "Nazi" is a German abbreviation for "National Socialist"
