Memo to the Left: How About Redirecting the Rage and Scorn?
Actually, “progressive” thought on this subject goes something like this;
1. The Iranian government, like that in Zimbabwe, is the result of the noble striving against injustice of Jimmy Carter (a progressive icon).
2. Carter’s UN ambassador, Andrew Young (another idol) referred to the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini as a “saintly man”; therefore, his hand-picked successors are completely beyond any conceivable reproach. (Could such a man be bad, or wrong?)
3. Iran’s government is a needed “counterbalance” to U.S. power and Israel’s “continued crimes” (the latter defined as “continued existence”). Thus, it must be nurtured so as to remain so…until the progressives decide they no longer need it, at least.
4. As for those being beaten and killed by the regime’s thugs- if they are so stupid that they don’t realize they are living in a progressive Paradise, they deserve no better.
Figuring out why “progressives” behave as they do is easy. Once you realize you are dealing with shallow, pretentious, self-absorbed children who nevertheless believe they are the smartest people who have ever lived. And that anyone who holds an opinion different from theirs, on any subject, is too stupid to even take notice of.
