Plan B, WMD, and the Roswell Connection
I recently received one of those e-mails that preach to the Left’s paranoid choir. Apparently a new BBC documentary has proven that Islamic terrorism and Soviet Socialist authoritarianism are actually myths conjured by the evil ideology of profit (capitalism) and its American puppet masters. Like many blogging type folks, I was tempted to address the absurdity of each cliché accusation point by point, but why waste the time? I choose instead to type an abridged proclamation of my take on this stale leftist diatribe:
Amazing! The compulsory funded state media of Britain once again "proves" that threats from Islamo-fascism are conjured by the evil demons of capitalism. As a bonus we find also (hardly a new claim) that the former Soviet Union was really a benign and harmless system that we should have just, "left alone."
Of course the real culprit in all human tyranny is the profit motive -- and perhaps Aliens from sector 12. I knew it had to have something to do with that guy who combs his hair with his own spit [Wolfman-witz] (sure sign of fascism).
Amazingly, a constitutional republic of diverse and contending interests comes up the villain every time when its "imagined enemies" are mere religious extremists or totalitarian, one-party states.
Sounds like the BBC is still going for the "sexed-up" document concept.
I'm still puzzled as to why the "progressives" consistently default to greater sympathy for the totalitarian position (another game in the post-modern hall of mirrors perhaps?).
Elvis Lives!
