From J.R. at the Astute Bloggers:
Comment from Britain
Pity I was away last week. I must have missed the march through London against the Russian invasion of Georgia. What a magnificent sight it must have been - half a million protesters standing firm against tyranny and supporting freedom and democracy.
I'd have loved to have heard Red Ken denouncing the bloodthirsty gangster regime in Moscow, George Galloway comparing Vladimir Putin to Hitler and Tony Benn declaring it was all about oil.
What's that you say? There was no such rally? I suppose they must all have been too busy demonstrating against Chinese oppression in Tibet and demanding a boycott of the Beijing Olympics. Or perhaps not. Funny how the Not In My Name crowd always overlooks aggression by Communist or 'former' Communist regimes.
There's no such reticence when it comes to portraying George W. Bush as the new Hitler or daubing swastikas on the Israeli flag. Look at the protests against the wars in Iraq and Lebanon. The same people who can't wait to burn the American flag in Trafalgar Square are only too happy to ignore Russian, Chinese and Iraqi genocide.
And more on the subject from Reliapundit:
OUR CULTURE GOES BY ,ANY NAMES: THE WEST, JUDEO-CHRISTIAN CIVILIZATION, WESTERN CIVILIZATION... AND ALL HAVE BEEN LIBELED AND SLANDERED BY THE POSTMODERN LEFT.
THEY HAVE LONG PROPAGANDIZED THAT WESTERN CIVILIZATION HAS BEEN A SCOURGE ON THE EARTH - AS IF JUDEO-CHRISTIANITY, CAPITALISM, EUROCENTRISM/COLONIALIZATION AND INDUSTRIALIZATION WERE TERRIBLE THINGS FOR HUMANITY OR GLOBAL ECOLOGY.
THIS IS PURE BUNK.
AS INDUSTRIALIZATION EXPANDED SO DID LIFE SPANS AND LIVING STANDARDS - FOR BILLIONS. AND AGW IS HOGWASH.
THE BIGGEST BADDEST PERPS OF GENOCIDE IN THE WEST ( AND GLOBALLY) WERE FOLKS WHO OPPOSED WESTERN CIVILIZATION, "REVOLUTIONARIES" WHO WANTED TO UP-END SOCIETY AND REMAKE MAN AND THE WORLD.
EVEN THE INTERNECINE WARS IN EUROPE KILLED FEWER PEOPLE FROM 1 A.D. TO 1900 AD, THAN LEFTISTS DID FROM 1900 A.D. TO 1990 A.D. -- THAT'S RIGHT: THE WEST KILLED FEWER PEOPLE ON 19 CENTURIES THAN LEFTISTS DID IN THE TWENTIETH ALONE.
LEFTISM IS THE WORLD'S MOST DANGEROUS IDEOLOGY - ER UM EXCEPT FOR ISLAM.

I'm going to STrongly disagree with this Cold War Extreme 'right wing' ideology here,
because, ONE,
FACT, the leftism they are referring to was far more RIGHTISM than it ever was left,
Stalinism and Maoism WERE NATIONALIST FASCIST REGIMES, hardly LIBERAL,
Secondly, as for Industrialization, Depends on, whether you're one, man,
I don't think the masses of women living under brutal patriarchy and EUROCENTRIC 'CATHOLICISM' would concur with you that their living conditions have Improved, HARDLY,
if one thinks so, THEY ARE AS DELUDED AS THE RELATIVISTS WHO THINK ISLAMISM IS EMPOWERMENT FOR WOMEN,
if Industrialization had of gone on unchecked, we wouldn't be sitting here writing, we'd be instead in third world conditions with a few at top.
LEFTISM IS NOT THE WORLD'S MOST DANGEROUS IDEOLOGY, OTHER THAN ISLAM
FANATICISM IS.
be it Nazism or Theocracies [including Christianity] or extreme Patriarchal rule or RIGHT WING JUNTA RULE,
and it IS those kinds of generalizations and PREJUDICES that yes, do feed into the ability for those extremists on the Other side to feed their machinery.
As a WOMAN I don't give a FUCK if you are a Mullah or a Christian right wing BIGOT SEXIST or a LEFTIST COMMUNIST STALINIST,
IF YOU ARE TOTALITARIAN YOU SUCK.
IF YOU ARE CLASSIST AND RACIST YOU SUCK.
the most DANGEROUS THING IS WHEN WE BECOME NARROW--IN POLITICAL IDEOLOGY WHERE WE CAN'T SEE OUR OWN 'BENT TOWARDS FASCISM'
BE IT RIGHT OR LEFT,
and when we forget that, Thats what KILLS,
Right wing forces have killed too, kid yourself not, South America is a DAMN GOOD EXAMPLE,
thats not FREEDOM, torturing kids with a Bible in the room baby IS NOT FREEDOM NOR IS IT JUST,
but thats what they did--Death Squads and Pinoche types of regimes are Just as brutal, and god forbid if we prop those up...
and, FACT is, under so called 'applied communism' there was nothing communist about it, if ONE really knows the ideology--it was STATE IRON FISTED CAPITALISM, capitalism for those at top,
slavery for the masses, gulag style.
But it doesn't matter if its a dictator or a corporatist fascist, and, SIX MILLION JEWS KILLED BY A FASCIST DICTATOR IS
NOT SOMETHING TO CHALK AT,
and last I checked, HITLER WAS NO DAMN COMMUNIST.
Slaves don't give a damn Who's their master, its still SLAVERY,
one throws you bread the other throws you soup,
don't think it matters, no, whats dangerous is this Tendency to grab onto ANY TYPE OF FANATICISM THAT JUSTIFIES THE MEANS TO THE ENDS,
THAT PROPS UP ELITISM AND SLAVERY AND OPPRESSION,
whether its under the right wing nationalists patriarchs or the theocratic moonbats who think women are from Satan [and Islam ain't the only one guilty of that...Secularism, pushed back the other, for now],
or under some Pure Race or White Supremacy or SUPER MALE SUPREMACY,
or any other kind of Despotism.
Reject them all, or embrace having chains.
I detest totalitarianism, especially the LEFT kind,
but don't think for a Minute, I'll shut up and NOT confront the other extreme, Right wing Totalitarianism,
they Both as far as I'm concerned, are the Enemy to humanity. And damn sure, the Enemy to Freedom.

believe this sums it up way better than I could,
"Not far beneath the surface of all the above fiascos we find the causes for these travesties. Both our Legislative and Executive branches of government have placed special interests above the interests of the American people at large. Not long ago, it was fashionable to lay all this at the feet of the Republican party. But the myopic inaction of the recent Democratic Congress, followed by the travesty of the party's misconduct of our Presidential primaries, demonstrates irresponsibility on both sides of the aisle. No wonder we have an increasing number of "Independent" voters. Placing political gamesmanship over the needs of the American people has now led our country to a point of near collapse - on many fronts simultaneously."
what happened to the American Dream,
and Why so many are FED up with both the RIGHT AND THE LEFT
