“You totally misread me, David Thompson.”
You are indulging in wishful thinking. Why is that? What is the motivation behind such a bizarre belief that Democratic Party “elites” are not self-hating Americans? The consensus opinion of these people is that America is responsible for the rage of the radical Muslim world—and military action is almost always a mistake. In their heart of hearts, the Democratic Party mainstream contends that Western imperialism and militarism is the cause of the world’s problems. We will only get Osama and his buddies angrier by continuing our “aggressive actions.”
Democrats are also totally whacked out of shape by their inability to honestly deal with racial issues. A dark skinned individual is inherently a victim of unjust society. No, the Democrats will not even begin to respond adequately to the challenge of Islamic militancy. They are both psychologically and existentially incapable of doing so. Once again, I strongly recommend reading James Piereson’s “Camelot and the Cultural Revolution: How the Assassination of John F. Kennedy Shattered American Liberalism.”
