The problem with leftist thought is the perpetual fawning over victims, aligning with every form of victimhood and/or grievance. This is the leftist's declaration of mutual solidarity with the suffering minorities of every brand, cause, shape and size. It is based on YES to everything -- the leftist's arrogance in presuming to to understand the victim. Anything goes. But leftists don't really actually believe this. They just say YES. And there's a reason for this. Victims are tools for leftists. A gaggle of victims is a toolbox. They don't care about rape or the myth of a college rape culture. And they don't care about the Earth's climate, either. They are intoxicated with phony empathy, a painfully sincere connection with every marginal cause in a relentless search for power. Their true brand is this juvenile underdog-ism, and once they become the top dog, the tolerance vanishes, the brutality emerges and you are left with no choices. Every time. The orgy of tolerance we see the left proclaiming and living out is a sickening display of non-distinction. It is purely immoral, as it is purely materialist... it simply lusts for power, propelled by the veneer of sentimental grandiosity. They get the luxury of never having to choose, never having to say no, never actually having to stand for anything, save their precious slogan: tolerance. <br /><br />Grandiosity and naked opportunism... that's why we get reflexive calls for gun control (unilateral disarmament... I love that one) before the blood of over 30 true victims of Islamist violence has stopped flowing. Do they not see how deceitful this all is? The GUN did it, not the operator and his (and her) lunatic worldview. If Obama's right and "the Islamists are on the wrong side of history," then let's go WRITE that history so they come to understand. But the deceit and smashmouth politics has got to stop. Kind of like rationale for ObamaCare: cover the uninsured and bring healthcare to all Americans. How's that going? Like those skyrocketing healthcare premiums with hardly a dent in the number of uninsured Americans? How can anyone trust this president? He is aloof, cagey and duplicitous. His ideological theories create one disaster after another, with no end in sight. He speaks from a podium in his own office.<br /><br />We have to start looking at the world as it is, not as we wish it to be. The Norwegians and Swedes think they can play nice and get out of this immigrant tide... that assimilation will just happen when (presto!) the invaders eat Norwegian pancakes or drink Absolut. That's not going to happen. Tolerance with no platform for, or expectation of, joining the common culture of their adoptive country is a recipe for sectarian tribalism. Saying the Muslims can have a different justice system under some Sharia license is a disaster. Rapists don't stop raping, they seek more targets, and as their resentment of their new country grows, the immigrant rapists find they prefer blondes. Rape isn't about sex, it's about power.<br /><br />Finally, when (oh when!) are we going to have serious reportage on Valerie Jarrett? The lefties slurped up every bit of the demonic Karl Rove action figure caricature, that sinister presence controlling the mind of George W. Bush. They even had a 2-hour PBS Frontline episode on Rove. We know next to nothing about Jarrett. Where is that intrepid investigative reporting? Why do so few journalists come forward to test this president and his advisors? To hold him and his minions accountable? The best reporting has been from British newspapers... atmittedly left themselves, but at least they're doing their job.<br /><br />IAC (from an undisclosed location)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-73847203193585185962015-12-06T08:21:54.557-08:002015-12-06T08:21:54.557-08:00When this is our elite culture, whaddya expect?
