The Foolish Weakness of the Left

"The United Nations and European Union have reached agreement to issue a joint statement condemning cartoon "insults to Islam" that were first published in a Danish newspaper and have been widely reprinted recently, resulting in a rash of violence throughout the Muslim world."

Pity!

Why can't rational people see that pardoning perps and condemning victims is a lose/lose situation? Rational people can see that. The problem lies with irrational leftists who almost always cater to the perps, wrongdoers and the enemies of this country. Why? Ostensibly, because the left doesn't want to further offend these unstable nutters who may riot, bomb, kidnap, decapitate or drive airplanes into buildings at the drop of a burka. And of course, when the extremists perpetrate their violence, it's never their fault; it's always our fault! Go figure.

This is radical egalitarianism and political correctness taken to the logical conclusion. These ideologies are a failure and all but the elitists realize it. The leftist social engineers will never acquiesce or admit defeat. They only become more insistent that their failed policies be instituted ever more enthusiastically and universally.

Yesterday, Economics Professor Walter E. Williams wrote a brilliant piece titled, Bogus rights. If you missed it, you ought to check it out. We are daily being bombarded by people demanding non-existing rights. Equally as bad are those who demand that our existing rights be diminished or be taken away completely.

It seems the national and international crime du jour is that of offending someone or some group. What is the crime in offending someone? Where is it written that we have a right to not be offended?

Everyone is offended by something. A huge danger exists when we are tempted to outlaw "offensive" speech. But, we're already there. You've heard of "hate-speech" and "hate-crimes" right? Who determines the hate and who will determine the "offensive" speech? The U.N.? Congress? The ACLU? NAMBLA? International Courts? Who or what will be the determining factor in all this "feel good" falderal? Let's hope it won't be those who most often side with our enemies.
