Liberals Against Democracy: Lurking at the D.U.

Despite the attacks of suicide bombers, Iraq's first free elections in decades seem to be a success. Somewhere around 60% of eligible Iraqi voters risked their lives to cast more than eight million votes. Video from Iraq shows poll workers, voters, and the police guarding them dancing in the streets. Among certain factions in America, however, the elections were met with rather less enthusiasm.

"Yea, this is going to be a great representative government with a third of the country not voting." opined Dark on the Democratic Underground message boards. Apparently he was too stoned to realize that their turnout was equal to or better than the turnout in our last national election, even though we didn't have to risk our lives when going to the polls.

"Just more crap from US-appointed Iraqi puppets," added DU poster leftchick. Yes, leftchick, the American GOP appointed all eight million Iraqi voters. Gotta love that "reality-based" intelligence.

This pathetic crying from DU-poster patsified was wildly celebrated in the forum as the most eloquent of sentiments of the American far left:

"Even if all the Iraqis in the world are jumping up and down and clapping and dancing and crying for joy; even if there were really and truly 100% turnout for this election; even if the winner of this election were truly the choice to represent the majority of all Iraqis:

Was this worth destroying the United States of America? Was this worth sending our nation tumbling into the toilet? Was this worth destroying our reputation and the worth of our word in the world? Were the lies worth it? Was this worth the billions and billions of dollars emptied from our nation's treasury? Was the enrichment of Halliburton and the Carlyle Group worth it? Was this worth the bloodshed of soldiers and of innocents? Was it worth losing your arms, little Ali? Was there NO OTHER WAY to have achieved this? Am I supposed to jump up and down and clap and dance and cry for joy that MY nation has been turned into a shitpile and everyone in the world hates MY nation now? There is no democracy here in America, but I am supposed to be overwhelmed with good cheer that it exists for the Iraqis?

I can't think of a single cause outside of the borders of my country that would be worth destroying my country for. And that's what has happened, I don't care how happy the Iraqis are. I mourn what my country has become, and I am bitter because I know what she could have been. So I'm sorry if I can't join in the joy today."

When America is spreading freedom in the midst of tyranny, it is not destroying our country, but making it stronger, and safer. If our reputation is faltering in the world, it is among those despots who chose to believe we were weak and ideologically spineless, and unwilling to fight for what is right.

No, the best the left has to offer is a spasmodic, reflexive gushing forth of vitriol against Halliburton and the freedom of fifty million newly free people in Iraq and Afghanistan. Liberalism hates all that most Americans identify as the very soul of America. They apparently believe in liberty on their terms, or not at all.

Liberalism rejoices when our soldiers and the civilians they are trying to protect are murdered by the terrorists that liberals sympathize with, because they feel each death is one more strike against Bush. Sickening.

America is watching liberalism, and notes each poison phrase they utter. Liberalism is killing itself in America.

No one will be sorry to see it go.
