Just judging from all the De Nile, looks like I can rest my case ("onward Christian Soldiers"….LOL)!

Most people on the left believe in the goodness of the human heart and in true love, just like the Hollywood movies preach. But the human heart is not good and true love does not conquer all, certainly not the way that they want to believe that it does. And the Terror War being waged on us by these Islamic radicals proves it. This whole War on Terror thing is very upsetting and very confusing to people on the left for this particular reason.

It is all about the War on Terror.

Many on the left want to focus on building their socialist "eutopia," but these pesky national security issues and the War on Terror keep getting in the way. Not just financially, but ideologically. How can this be happening if the human heart is good and love conquers all? They have no answer, so they just keep insisting that no such problem exists.

The left also wants to defund our military to a substantial degree and resents the focus on military solutions to problems around the globe. Apparently they believe if we insist that there is no problem that requires military action, then we will not have to bother with any of that. But reality keeps on rearing its ugly head and contradicting them on this, even on Barack Obama's watch.

And what is the number one problem from a global national security perspective? Is there any doubt? It is Islamic radicalism and the War on Terror, which is being waged almost entirely by Islamic radicals. The answer by many on the left appears to be to insist this is not a problem or that it is just not happening to any noteworthy degree. To maintain this defense, they have to defend the Islamic radicals, with all of their killing, and all of their routine, many times daily, human rights abuses.

Which explains why Obama did not show up in Paris to the March last week.

Their ideology around this is bankrupt and false. They do not know how to reconcile the War on Terror with their beliefs about the goodness of the human heart and love conquering all. It is a fairy tale they believe in, I know. But they are not ready to let it go, because that would mean accepting that they are not as good as they want to think they are either. And that is a stumbling block to them.

So, they are in a profound, self-absorbed state of denial. And they continue to defend what for all the world appears to be pure evil in order to maintain this cocoon of denial. It is all very sad and very dangerous, to say the least.

Well, that was hilarious. It's great to know you consider yourself an psychoanalytic expert on liberals.

1. It's a religion of minorities and they (the political left) hates whites, loves minorities

and

2. They're a bunch of spineless, gutless cowards that don't have the stones to mock that cult. Not even Bill Maher will take it as far as he really wants to take it.

Obama's top priority - closing Guantanamo (letting more terrorist free)
Obama's top priority - Open borders (easy to let come to the U.S.)

Isn't that like saying we shouldn't confuse Christians with Christianity? Those who practice Islam are called Muslims.

Really? Can you substantiate that?

"Westernized Muslim" is an oxymoron. Muslims are opposed to Western civilization, and wish to wipe it out. They believe Western civilization is evil, and they call the U.S. "The Great Satan."

Muslims do not assimilate in other countries where they choose to live. They have not assimilated in the U.S. either. Boston Bombers, for example? Their Mosque is where they were taught Jihad against America.

Whatever your problems with your brand of Christianity (Roman Catholicism) are not representative of all of Christianity. Roman Catholicism is the least Christian of all, which was the reason we had a Reformation. Sadly, the mainline Protestant churches have become apostate as well, which is why so many Christians have left the mainline denominations and attend "community churches" not affiliated with any of them.

Those you ridicule as "Jesus freaks" are those Christians that choose Biblical Christianity over the counterfeit, and they read and study the Bible seriously. They are not "freaks" but they are the true believers, who believe in the true Gospel of salvation by Faith alone, through Christ's blood shed on the cross. "For it is by Grace you have been saved, through Faith, and this not of yourselves; it is the Gift of God, not by works, so that no one may boast"

This is baloney too. We can see by what happened in France that this is not true, and again, I cite the Boston Bombers, as well as the Fort Hood massacre, and the Oklahoma City beheading of a woman. The latter are not "workplace violence" as Obama claims, but they are examples of Islamic Jihad against Americans.

And, Hillary couldn't be more wrong when she called for "empathy," as though that will somehow change there evil hearts. You cannot cure evil with kindness and empathy. Evil is only evil.

Right. And soon after Hilary's idiotic "empathy" speech the Taliban slaughtered a bunch of school kids in Pakistan. I guess that was just another example of "workplace violence".

The Muslim community here in Canada votes overwhelmingly for the Conservatives!!!! The people are actually very conservative socially. Absolutely anti abortion, pro family values and fiscally restrained.

I think it's the same reason why they claim they are not racist but then vote for a man just because of his skin color or they claim they are for equality of the sexes and then vote for a woman just because she is one. Or, they claim they are for diversity but when it comes to diversity of ideas, not so much. Or, they claim they are for freedom of speech but then they try to drown out that speech or cut it off in of all places, college campuses. Or, they say they are pro-science but won't look at a sonogram image.

They'll stand up for the rights of radical Islam right up to the point where the blade slices through their neck. They're blind. They refuse to believe their multicultural lying eyes. If it's not that, then somewhere in their brain, where they process what they see, is very badly damaged.
