Self-delusion of Left and Liberals

The Left is shocked SHOCKED at the election of Hamas. As a followup of the previous post, here's the LA Times

Most Palestinians (sic), like most Israelis, want peace.
How the FUCK do they know that?

That's not fact. That's not even a supportable assertion. That is wishful thinking based on FEELINGS. They feel that bad things don't come from bad values (internal) but from bad [fill in external raison du jour].

Liberals, in a nutshell.

What it comes down to is this; there’ll be no enduring peace in the Middle East until the people living there accept the spirit of democracy as it is practiced in the West. They must (at a minimum)

(1) accept the idea of ordered liberty under law
(2) accept the idea of the separation of church and state and
(3) they must give up the idea of destroying Israel.

So far, they’ve shown that they will not abide by these requirements.

It's an illusion (like Rep Murtha said) that we can impose democracy at the point of a bayonet, if those living in teh Middle East do not accept Western concepts of democracy.

The L.A. Times has been boo-hooing over the Palestinians for decades, and fretting about the fact that they might not get their precious state.

Well, they've got a state now, and they've got Hamas! And the Times boo-hoos, and wrings its collective hands.

I just love watching that paper go downhill. . .
