The Road To Hell is Paved With Meaning Well...

AN EDITORIAL BY
REMULAK MOXARGON
OVERLORD OF THE KNOWN UNIVERSE


Former sitcom writer turned political and moral philosopher Peter Mehlman took time off from writing about 'nothing' to showing the world that he knows nothing. He popped down to the internet's one-stop shop for fashionable leftism and occasional Antisemitism, AKA HuffPo, to let the world know that he understands the Bush administration and its motivations.

Apparently, it's pure evil.

You can read the piece here, or if it's been yanked, as is HuffPo policy when contributors endorse fascism, you can read the complete text here.

You see, Mehlman is the classic leftist. He claims to understand the world, he claims to understand the motivations of p
eople, especially Republicans. Yet that claim to understanding is based upon a fundamental hypocrisy.

Allow me to step on Xran's turf and explain.

Leftists claim to be open minded and against discrimination, but often show themselves to be the most closed minded and discriminating Earthlings I have ever encountered.

When a conservative pundit claims to un
derstand the actions and motivations of someone like Iranian prez Mahmoud Ahmadinejad they base these things on the stuff he says and does. I have no problem with calling someone "evil" if they spend their country's resources on nuclear weapons during massive unemployment and threaten a democratic country with being "wiped off the map."

However, when a Leftist brain-box like Mehlman claims to understand the actions and motivations of George W. Bush it's based on a conglomeration of personal prejudices that manifests itsel
f as "Bush Derangement Syndrome" rather than anything Bush actually says or does.

Bush says he's trying to bring democracy to Iraq and Afghanistan, and America's best and brightest are fighting to bring it about. Contracts have been signed giving the Iraqis control of their own oil resources and who they sell it to. Halliburton does not own it, y
et Mehlman still clings to the myth of blood, oil, and Halliburton.

You see Mehlman believes in what post-modern thinkers call the "meta-narrative" whether he knows it or not. This concept says that certain facets of society will do things in certain ways for certain reasons.

According the meta-narrative of the Iraq War, the fighting has nothing to do with bringing democracy to a country tormented by decades of dictatorships. Instead it's all a big evil conspiracy to kill people for the sake of killing people so they can drill for oil under the puddles of blood and spattered brains. Sure, a functioning democratic nation would solve a lot problems in the Middle East, but that doesn't fit the meta-narrative.

Mike Nifong, the Duke lacrosse persecutor, believed in the leftist meta-narrative that all evil rich white boy
s do is go around raping poor black women. He believed it so strongly he sacrificed investigative procedure, constitutional rights of the accused, the good name of his office, and in the end, his own legal license to fulfill it.

Even I have fallen victim to the rabid Inquisitors of High Church of Our Lady of the Over-Arching Meta-Narrative.

If you look at our Culture Corner post and scroll down to the comments you'll see a lot of lefty trolls accusing me of being racist and using the term "dirty brown people."


Okay, my memory may be failing me, but I don't recall ever using the term "dirty brown people" when describing Islamist terrorists. I believe that Islamist terrorists are found all over
Earth's ethnic/genetic spectrum and that Islam has very strict sanitary codes so their most ardent fundamentalists can't be described as "dirty."

When I attack Islamist Terrorists I try to make a point to attack their actions and their public statements, not their ethnicity or cleanliness.

Yet I'm attacked as if I did.


Why?

Because the Leftist meta-narrative declares that since I support the ouster of Saddam Hussein, the bringing of democracy to the Middle East, the smiting of terrorists wherever they're found, and the frequent nut-punching of hippies, I must be some sort of racist who must have, at some time, called Muslims "dirty brown people" whether I actually did or not.

So here's what it boils down to.

Meta-narrative is no different than the old-time Jim Crow era beliefs about African Americans, but since it is aimed at Republicans, Christians, and pro-Israeli Jews it's dressed in the slightly tattered, but socially acceptable, robes of liberal academia.


Now it's perfectly okay to downplay the atrocities of Hitler, Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot, and now Saddam Hussein, because the Meta-Narrative says it's okay because they're the sort of people Republicans opposed.

Much the same way the Ku Klux Klan thought lynching blacks was okay, because it fit their meta-narrative.

So the next time Mehlman opens his mouth
, show him this picture:

And ask Mehlman if Saddam meant well.

Then tell him to ask the Kurds if Saddam meant well.

Then call him an asshole.

Which is your right as an American.

What the fudge?

I can't even read all of that.

I think this person's visited before, if I'm not mistaken with the same sort of rant, if not the exact same rant.

I am so sick of the author of this blog making excuses for the monumental failure of GWB’s decision to go to war with Iraq. Let’s just try and be sensible about this:
The Iraq War is an ongoing conflict which began with a United States-led 20 March 2003 invasion of Iraq. The main rationale for the Iraq War offered by U.S. President George W. Bush, British Prime Minister Tony Blair was that Iraq was developing weapons of mass destruction. These weapons, it was argued, posed a threat to the United States, its allies and interests. In George W. Bush's 2003 State of the Union Address, he claimed that the U.S. could not wait until the threat from Saddam Hussein became imminent. After the invasion, however, no evidence was found of such weapons. To support the war, other U.S. officials cited claims of Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda connection. Yet others pointed to human rights abuse in Saddam Hussein's Iraq and the need to establish democracy in Iraq as reason for the war. They have also claimed that the economic importance of Iraq's oil supply limited non-military options. Many critics of the war have alleged that this was a primary reason for the invasion.
The war began in March 2003, when a largely British and American force supported by small contingents from Australia, Denmark and Poland attacked Iraq. The invasion soon led to the defeat and flight of Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein. The U.S.-led coalition occupied Iraq and attempted to establish a new democratic government; however it failed to restore order in Iraq. The unrest led to asymmetric warfare with the Iraqi insurgency, civil war between Sunni and Shia Iraqis and al-Qaeda operations in Iraq. As a result of this failure to restore order, a growing number of coalition nations have withdrawn troops from Iraq. The causes and consequences of the war remain extremely controversial. Critics have assailed the U.S. and its allies for not devoting enough troops to the mission, not adequately planning for post-invasion Iraq, and for permitting and perpetrating widespread human rights abuses. As the war has progressed, critics have also railed against the high human and financial costs.
Some academics see such costs as inevitable until US foreign policy turns away from expanding U.S. hegemony. Professor Chip Pitts accepts that an American empire exists, but argues that it is profoundly at odds with better instincts of U.S. citizens and policymakers, and that rejecting neo-colonialism by military means such as those employed in the Iraq War, is a prerequisite to restoring domestic civil liberties and human rights that have been infringed upon by an imperial presidency -- while being crucial, as well, to promoting peace and stability in the Middle East and other places of vital U.S. interest. For Iraqi citizens, it seems that can't happen soon enough. When asked directly, 82–87% of the Iraqi populace is opposed to US occupation and want US troops to leave. 47% of Iraqis support attacking US troops. More Americans understand this now, as shown in the documentary film The Ground Truth which interviews American soldiers returning from Iraq and their families.
No matter what the controversial reasons for the Iraq War, we are still there and Iraq and the US are no more safe than when we started. In fact, we are less safe and Iraq is more unstable.
The rest of the shit you posted (Mehlman, generalizations of what constitutes a leftist’s paradigm, etc…) is just bullshit.

We invaded Iraq, captured Sadamm and killed him. We won the war. Now let's get the fuck out!

I believe the "dirty brown people" comment was just a generalization of how some people (not necessarily you) see all middle easterners. Usually it is ignorant Southern Male Republicans that want to just nuke the entire Middle East because it is just full of "dirty brown people". Trust me this is true. I hear it every day of my life here in MS.

As a Southern Male Republican (well, FORMER, I couldn't take any more of the party called me racist over the illegal alien act), I find your comment divisive AND racist. I don't know what part of MS you happen to be in, but I'll guaran-damn-tee you the so-called "ignorants" you refer to are in the minority. If that's not the case, you'd better fucking move!

And, just satisfy some personal curiosity, since you can't share your name, or even a nick...How much time have you spent in the Middle East? How many times have you had to stop or swerve your vehicle to avoid what might possibly be an IED? Ah, never mind, I know the answer...

And Saddam declared war against the coalition of countries when he continually violated the multiple sanctions placed against him as part of the cease-fire from the first Gulf War. The war didn't start in 2003, it started in 1992 when he fired on the coalition aircraft patrolling the no fly zones established by that bastion of truth and honor, the UN. If you think it all started in 2003, all you're doing is spouting the same old meme's the left has been using since than and conveniently ignoring the facts.

My thoughts exactly vulcanrider! I would love to get the hell out of MS!

I come from a military family. I've had two family members die in Iraq. One of them blown up by an IED. So screw you for being so pompous.

You are correct that if you dig deeper the "war" mentality has been front and center in US and British political realm since 1991. The aim has been the destruction of Iraqi society enabling the US and Britain to gain control of Iraq's huge oil reserves (with an extra bonus of making money off the billion dollar contracts to "reconstruct" Iraq).

Why does my name matter? I am the voice of millions.

All you did here was answer my question, I didn't ask about family members serving, I have the utmost respect for them, but you, since you can't be bothered, are an ass. I have many friends and relatives buried in Arlington, and have stood in flag lines for the fallen here at home. C'mon, find a leftist talking point for that.

Trotting out the "war for oil" meme ain't gonna cut it either. You think that's the case? Get down to the local gas station and check the price.

Why does my name matter? I am the voice of millions.

And you call ME pompous?

Ok, Vulcanrider you are right. I'm a pompous ass and we are not in Iraq for the oil.
