SNAP!

"I mean, shouldn't this be the story for anti-war liberals? Here are a bunch of brave souls fighting a tyrannical regime through the old liberal favorite of massive protests. Here's the chance for them to get behind the cause of freedom without having to support war. Here's the chance for liberals to support the potentially most important win in the war against terrorism and they are hesitant to do it. Why? Because the "right wingers" (of which I am not one, by the way) were there first.

Which raises a number of questions: Why were they there first? And what does it say about liberals when differentiating and distancing themselves from conservatives becomes more important than the cause of human freedom? And why the hell is it that conservatives are having to explain to liberals that there are times when we must put our differences aside in the name of higher values? I mean, Jesus, since when did this become Bizzaro World?
...
Think back to the self-righteous kids who "bravely" protested the Iraq war and ask yourself: where are they now? Why aren't they taking to the streets by the hundreds of thousands to defend true heroes. The Iranians are making history and it seems no one gives a damn. Then again, why would they? After all, there's no way anyone could blame this on America."

I didn't abandon the left the left abandoned me, along with all the oppressed of the earth and their own morals, during the Clinton years.
