Protesting Lefty

I'll be going out with my PW Chapter again tomorrow. The humping moonbats will be having a little march again complete with lame chants and interpretive dance. If we are very fortunate, they will have hired some former hippies to assault our eardrums with the maudlin, self-righteous caterwauling they call music.

Which brings me to something I read today by Charles Krauthammer, (Hat tip: Powerline) who is one of my favorite columnists and commentators. He is frequently on Fox News with Brit Hume and he has a way of making his point so quietly and thoroughly that there is never anything left to say afterwords.

He wrote an article today about the fallicies and hypocricies of the Euro-moron-Left that, true to form, leaves not a whole lot more to be said (except for gratuitious insults which, although petty and most likely unhelpful, are great fun).

Concerning the left's faux-concern for human rights, he says:

"It is not just that the ramparts of Euro-snobbery have been breached. Iraq
and, more broadly, the Bush doctrine were always more than a purely intellectual
matter. The left's patronizing, quasi-colonialist view of the benighted Arabs
was not just analytically incorrect. It was morally bankrupt, too.

After all, going back at least to the Spanish Civil War, the left has
always prided itself on being the great international champion of freedom and
human rights. And yet, when America proposed to remove the man responsible for
torturing, gassing and killing tens of thousands of Iraqis, the left suddenly
turned into a champion of Westphalian sovereign inviolability.

A leftist judge in Spain orders the arrest of a pathetic, near-senile Gen. Augusto
Pinochet eight years after he's left office, and becomes a human rights hero --
a classic example of the left morally grandstanding in the name of victims of
dictatorships long gone. Yet for the victims of contemporary monsters still
actively killing and oppressing -- Khomeini and his successors, the Assads of
Syria and, until yesterday, Hussein and his sons -- nothing. No sympathy. No
action. Indeed, virulent hostility to America's courageous and dangerous attempt
at rescue...."

"...Until now. Now that the real Arab street has risen to claim rights that
the West takes for granted, the left takes note. It is forced to acknowledge
that those brutish Americans led by their simpleton cowboy might have been
right. It has no choice. It is shamed. A Lebanese, amid a sea of a million other
Lebanese, raises a placard reading "Thank you, George W. Bush," and all that
Euro-pretense, moral and intellectual, collapses. "
