#2 What they truly need to realize is how far they are pushing the people on the right. They have sought to criminalize the conservative viewpoint. It's no longer that we simply disagree, but they've constantly portrayed us as evil.

Thanks to them, I will happily embrace that. Democrats are no longer human to me. They deserve no mercy, pity or compassion. I have taken their hatred so long that I will gladly return it to them. In spades.

They time will come that they will have to reap what they have sown, and I'm thinking that what happens to them will be beyond their wildest nightmares.

So I offer them my congratulations, they have replaced the Nazi's as the most evil people on this planet. The Nazi's were simply happy to kill everyone else. But for the Democrats, they have embraced and celebrated a culture of human sacrifice worse even than those from before. One that glories in the deaths of their own children while protecting adults that prey on children in the sickest ways imaginable.

So while it is a sad thing, to see so many voluntarily resign from the human race, I refuse to call it anything else anymore. We will not win the coming political struggles by turning the other cheek and being timid or refusing to fight back hard against them in the public arena of ideas.

A new Dark Age is coming. The only question left is do we cower in our homes or build fires against the dark?

#4 Is the surge solely responsible for the turnaround? Of course not. Al-Qaeda alienated the Sunni tribes; Moqtada al-Sadrs Mahdi Army decided to stand down; the United States assassinated key insurgent and militia leaders, all of which mattered as much if not more than the increase in U.S. troops.

Beinart is the quintessential CFR stooge. He and his fellows promote themselves as out of the box intellectuals yet they cant resist writing their version of history in the present. Theirs is an egocentric quest to define the problems for their pre-declared solutions. And their cynicism is satisfied from the ease at which they can sway the politically ambitious class. Of course, even a novice salesman could sell Nancy Pelosi with a simple narcissism close. But the irony is how these Big Picture academics unabashedly buttress their philosophies with the myopic. Look how Beinart defines the Surge. He declares it simply as an increase in U.S. troops - not an overall strategy. In other words, the Surge was just an event and therefore is independent of other events. As if the Sunni Awakening and Al-Sadrs actions almost happened in some sort of time vacuum. You see, this allows him the liberty of assigning his own values of those events. And predictably he puts those events on equal footing (and above) of one of the most remarkable military success stories of all times. As my Grandmother used to sarcastically sayAint he clever?

#6 Democrats. It must suck to realize you've spent your life cheering for the party consistently on the wrong side of history. But then, most of them are too ignorant to realize it. I suspect that many can't face that Lincoln was a Republican, that the Southern Democrats bitterly fought the civil rights movement and that "peace" in Vietnam resulted in massive genocide.

Well, at least this guy is willing to get on board once the war has already been won. Nothing says brilliant like a willingness to admit you were wrong.
