It may seem that I'm hard on liberals

But I'm a lot easier on them than they deserve.

Look, the situation in Iraq is a prime example.  Obama pulls out, and now he's talking about going back in.  If he isn't, then he isn't ending the talk about it.  Now, try to imagine the incongruity of Obama sending in ground troops to Iraq.  It is hard to imagine even now.  But eight years ago, if anyone told you that he would be considering such a move, you'd say it was a crazy idea.

This leads me to believe that everything, everything that the left does is mired in insincerity and outright falsehood.  Obama would only oppose Iraq because it was a political advantage for him to do so.  He would only approve a return to Iraq because it poses an advantage over not going back.  It is politics, not truth.

That also leads me to the thought that the world isn't governed by virtue, but by vice.  All the more reason to keep the government as small as possible.  The left thinks government is a virtue, but you should never trust anyone who says any such thing.

What about the Middle East then?  The peace process?  Hah.  This is only given as a way to capitulate to Israel's destruction.  The left sees Israel as a problem.  They would never support Israel unequivocally.  Never.  To them, it would be better to see Israel destroyed provided that they could get away with letting it happen.  As Billy Carter, the former President brother once said, there's a lot more Arabs than Jews.  For the liberals, support for the Israelis is a necessary political fact, but not a desired value.  It is necessary for they Jewish vote.  If only they could get off that hook...  Believe me, they are always looking for a way to get off that hook.  They support the Israelis, but they don't love 'em at all.  The Israelis are always The Problem.

By the way, I think that is true in general.  Whoever they support, they support out of a necessity.  They do not serve but seek to be served.  Therefore, anybody and everybody is expendable.  That's what Benghazi meant.  That's what Vietnam meant.  That's what Iraq and Afghanistan meant.  They are all expendable and so are YOU.  Once they don't need you anymore, look out.

Why doesn't anybody point that out?  Perhaps because in their own hearts, they are no different from the liberals.  Unless they say something, then they can be said to have agreed.
