Just wait. Like Al Jolson said long ago, "you ain't seen nothin' yet." Once we pull out of Iraq the blood lust crazies are going to make what happened in Cambodia and Viet Nam look like a Sunday picnic. Naive left wing schmucks. The place is going to run red with blood as they slaughter each other. Which is what they really want, que no?

"the key of high petulance." Gerard, I once believed nothing could ever meet the standard set by P.J. O'Rourke when he called some homeless protesters "the perpetually indignant." But you have done it here.

Hats off to the master.

You are a masochist. I used to read the Observer, when I first came to New York, but its general tone of smarmy superiority eventually turned me off. I always read Brookhiser (is he still writing for the paper?). Back in those days Conaston wrote frequently about abortion. He's Catholic and liberal, but he always managed to come down on the liberal side.

This is beautiful...

After all, like all petulant children throughout the world and time, you will have, at last, have gotten your way. And that's what really counts, isn't it? Not being right. Not being just. Not being fair. Neither morality nor honor. But just getting your way.

I think that's the best description of the loony left I've ever read. It explains all of their bizarre bahaviour. Petulant children that never grew up.
