"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."--C.S. Lewis

"The problem with Lamont and his ilk is that they are unable to wrap their minds around the fact that Islamic Fascsim is a deeply real and pervasive phenomenon with hundreds of millions of adherents and fellow travelers. Surely, these soi-disant liberals think, these people can be reasoned with. But it couldn't be more obvious that they can't . They are imbued with a fanatical religious culture vastly different from and in complete opposition to ours. However, for these "liberals" to face this uncomfortable reality would vastly disrupt their weltanschauung and cost them power, money, position, prestige, etc. It might even cause personality disintegration. This is the Culture of Narcissism gone berserk."
-Roger L. Simon
My take is that guys like "Lamont and his ilk" know their naive followers have fully secumbed to Bush Derangement Syndrome and they're an easily leveraged mob. It doesn't take a particularly intellectual argument or refined policy statement to whip-up these "soi-disant" liberals. Just bare your teeth and utter the latest anti-Bush rant and you have starry-eyed followers going door-to-door with your yard signs. I find it hard to believe Mr. Lamont is as stupid and uninformed as his followers appear to be but I suppose I could be wrong. Maybe he truly does believe that if you simply "dump Bush" and his BushCo neoconservative posse, Osama bin Laden and his Islamofascist bretheren will cease blowing up jetliners, put down their RPGs and return quietly to tend their olive groves. Were it so.
