Liberal Lingo: Appalling Attack

Understanding liberals is not easy - mostly because they relegate debate to the emotional aspects of the topic. In order to get closer to an understanding of the liberal mind, you must be able to decipher the language of liberalism.

Take “appalling attack” for example. Liberals often talk about how something someone said is an “appalling attack”. Senator Barak Obama said that President Bush’s statement to the Knesset was an appalling attack on the good Senator.

What President Bush said was:

“Some seem to believe that we should negotiate with the terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along.

“We have heard this foolish delusion before. As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared: ‘Lord, if I could only have talked to Hitler, all this might have been avoided.’ We have an obligation to call this what it is—the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history.”

Now, unless Senator Obama has been engaged in appeasement politics with Hamas - or plans to work with terrorists in the future - he should have no issue with the President’s shoe of “Some”. then again, if the shoe fits, wear it.

So, “appalling attack” really means: You’re right, but I am pissed you’d say that.

The liberals want to talk with those who have pledged holy war against us because:

• They think this whole mess of Islamists wanting a worldwide caliphate is America’s fault
• Their elitist tendencies make them believe they can just talk Islamists out of their unreasonable notions, if someone smart enough would just try.
• They are immersed in victimization and identity politics to the point of not being capable of leading anything more than a moral retreat.

Once you grasp these things, it is relatively easy to understand a liberal. Understanding them is the first step to marginalizing and defeating their crazy ideals.
