Dennis Prager on the "inability to identify the religious beliefs of Islamic terrorists"
I post this with a sigh. Who is not blue in the face at this point? But it's worth reading because Prager has such a gift for clarity and conciseness. Excerpt:
The Left's inability to identify the religious beliefs of Islamic terrorists and instead ascribe their murders of Americans to the terrorists' psychological tensions and economic problems―while at the same time utterly certain that conservative white Americans have only the most vile motives―is an expression of the Left's failure to recognize and confront real evil.
Just remember this: If Shahzad had not been identified as the would-be bomber, the mainstream (i.e., liberal) news media and leading Democrats would have told us repeatedly that a white male―surely a conservative white male―was the Times Square terrorist, and that we should therefore be looking suspiciously at our fellow Americans on the Right, especially those attending tea parties. For while liberals claim not to know the motives of Muslim terrorists, they are always certain of conservatives' motives: racism, sexism, homophobia and xenophobia.
This whole situation has me blue in the face, too. It's one reason that politics is just too frustrating for me to deal with anymore. I'm tired of seeing decent Americans being slandered while violent Muslims and leftists get a pass on everything.
ReplyDeleteI mean, a bunch of male leftists beat up a female aide to Gov. Bobby Jindal outside a New Orleans restaurant. (She was leaving a fundraiser.) They called her a "little blond bitch" and they beat her up so badly that her leg was broken. They also beat up her boyfriend and called him a "faggot". The media totally ignored this. (The police in New Orleans are useless as usual as well.)
Could you imagine the media coverage if the politics were reversed and if the conservatives had simply yelled non-profanities at the aide and her boyfriend?
