The True State Of The Left
AcademicElephant observes that an organization called World Can't Wait has run a full page ad in the New York Times that calls for mass demonstrations during and after the President's State of the Union address. These demonstrations are intended to "deliver the people's [sic] verdict on Bush’s criminal regime". Here are some of the highlights of the ad. (Please hold your laughter till the end.)
Your government, on the basis of outrageous lies, is waging a murderous and utterly illegitimate war in Iraq, with other countries in their sights.Your government is openly torturing people, and justifying it. [...]
Your government is moving each day closer to a theocracy, where a narrow and hateful brand of Christian fundamentalism will rule.[...]
Your government enforces a culture of greed, bigotry, intolerance and ignorance.
People look at all this and think of Hitler — and they are right to do so. [...]
Millions and millions are deeply disturbed and outraged by this. They recognize the need for a vehicle to express this outrage, yet they cannot find it; politics as usual cannot meet the enormity of the challenge, and people sense this.
There is not going to be some magical "pendulum swing." People who steal elections and believe they're on a "mission from God" will not go without a fight.
There is not going to be some savior from the Democratic Party. [...]
But silence and paralysis are NOT acceptable. [...]There is no escaping it: the whole disastrous course of this Bush regime must be STOPPED. [...]
We must, and can, aim to create a political situation where the Bush regime's program is repudiated, where Bush himself is driven from office, and where the whole direction he has been taking society is reversed. We, in our millions, must and can take responsibility to change the course of history.[...]
But we speak for the majority, here and around the world, and as we get this going we are going to reach out to the people who have been so badly fooled by Bush and we are NOT going to stop.
The World Can't Wait! Drive Out the Bush Regime!
Pardon my snickering, but I can't wait to check back with them and their "millions" (they're a "majority", remember?) after they've "driven Bush from office". As AE points out, there are some major issues hidden behind the petulant foot-stamping: they are actively promoting the abandonment of our electoral process. And they have equal scorn for any Democrats who would work within the system. These people have actually deluded themselves into thinking that a majority of the people in this country would join with them in overthrowing the government.
Dr. Sanity highlights similar example of "progressive" compassion and concern:
In a comment on this post, we can see revealed the true feelings that the Left have toward the professsionals in the U.S. Military services, who have taken on the responsibility of defending freedom for all of us. [...] In response to a comment that suggested that military personnel were proud to serve and that it dishonored them to suggest that their sacrifices were useless or meaningless, this diatribe was posted:
Dishonor the soldiers? [...]Sorry to disillusion you chumps, but striving to be a drone among thousands of other drones doesn't, by any logic, seem honorable does it? It seems like the the sort of endeavor that would appeal to the insecure and incompetent--Not able to go it on their own in life. Need the group identity and all that... I've known plenty of dedicated soldiers and they do have a tendency toward imbecility.
I was just reminding you that your moronic sentimments about the laughable undertaking in Iraq, and 'supporting our troops,' is actually supporting the sacrificing of these revered (by you) young people for a highly questionable cause.
For myself, I see it as a handy sort of Darwinism. [...] But the army is undermanned--I'm sure everyone who responded could come to such terms with local recruitment officers that you all could ship out within a few months and go help spread freedom. What's keeping you? Are you homosexuals? Or just dispensers of bullshit and cowards?
Besides displaying a profound lack of understanding about the military [...] this is pure, unadulterated and unvarnished prejudice and bias--with obvious overtones of hate and bile. [...]Without making any diagnosis, however, I can say with absolute certainty that this individual certainly captures the spirit of projection, paranoia and denial that is so pervasive in today's Left and clearly demonstrates the Left's true colors.
Projection, paranoia and denial. Each is bad enough on its own; combine them and you can throw constructive debate right out the window. But as I've said many times, debate, constructive or otherwise, is not the goal of the Left.

I still like the part about their "cacophony of sound" that's going to drown out the SotU speech. I can't wait. I live in such a blue area I'm hoping to take photos of them "raising their voices" in unison.

I think the cacophony is playing inside their own heads.
