Double Standards

Funny, I don't remember any mass protests of "hundreds of thousands" of people against Hamas and Hezbollah firing rockets indiscriminately at civilian targets in Israel.

The phrase "anti-semitism" springs to mind.

The great Red-Blue gulf in America is beginning to become apparent elsewhere in the world as the divide grows between those who would confront evil and those who prefer to appease it.

It's sad that in this day and age of so-called acceptance and tolerance that those on the Left who shout so loudly for anti-discrimination are the same people so so rabidly expouse the ideals of anti-semitism. They cannot dare condemn Islamic terrorists who have no qualms about deliberately murdering women and children time and again, who think nothing of indiscriminately bombing innocent people as they go about their daily business- yet when Jewsih Israel dares to defend itself against terrorist attack, these are the people demanding "peace" and "ceasefire".

Where were they when the Islamic terrorists blew up Israelis who were out shopping or having a meal? Where were the mass protests against the abhorrent murder of eight months pregnant Tali Hatuel and her young daughters? Why then did they not rush to the streets en masse to demand that Hamas stop the terror? Where were they when nearly two hundred children were murdered by Islamic terrorists at Beslan? Where were they when hostages were having their heads sawed off on video camera to cries of "Allah Ackbar"?

I'm sick to death of the double standards- coming out to protest the actions of America and Israel while failing to condemn a single barbaric act committed in the name of Islam. If they really want peace then they have to be prepared to condemn all the violence- the fact that they do not, tells me that peace is not what they want at all.

Jay Mac, you have in a nutshell summed up what takes most of us reams of paragraphs to express. The liberal/conservative divide has gone from two sides with different ways of getting the same result (how to better our country and help our allies) to having different end goals, one pro-American, and one which tries at every turn to hurt my country. Like you, a lot of us are getting spitting mad at the brazenness of the anti-Americans, both foreign-born and native son leftists.

When the U.S. got into World War II, the Bund (pro Nazi organization in the U.S.) and the isolationists shut the heck up. In World War I, it was illegal in places to even speak German, which was overboard, but I'm sure if people went in the street with signs supporting the Kaiser, they'd be rounded up. But these pigs, the forces that blew up our Marines, people sent into Beruit FOR PEACE, get multi-city international support this weekend in pro-Hezbollah rallies. When I raised my right hand in the MEPS center many years ago, I swore to defend My Country against all enemies, foreign and domestic. And while I've long ago been discharged, and am too darn old to meet the age requirement anymore, I still have that oath in my heart, and bristle when I remember that members of the communist party were rightly banned from service, but Hizbollah (sp? who cares) gets love from the masses, and members can probably enlist. And when I see so many in the new generation, gen Y, whizz on their American birthright, it makes me sick.

The peace activists never saw a war they didn't like in the 1990's. They didn't make a peep during the bombing of civilian Belgrade. But they raise a ruckus about Israel's bombing of Hezbollah's lair. I see Hez got a flag of its own - a yellow one (how appropriate, for a force that does its fighting while hiding in civilian communities and behind women and children...) with a hand holding a machine gun. I wonder if I get one, whizz on it, and put it on an art gallery's floor, would the "free speech activists" support my brave statement as they did for people putting my Old Glory in the commode, or on the floor in front of a sign-in book?

The worst thing is that the healthiest thing for a working democracy IS a functioning "loyal opposition" that questions authority, has a plan B to propose, and always checks to see that government's decisions are for the better of the nation. Nothing keeps office holders from becoming tyrants like knowing they're judged on their performance. The rotting of that, and having a national version of machine politics, can be our unmaking.
