Now, it has been revealed...thanks to the New Yorker article in that edition with that disgraceful cover that projects liberal racism onto conservatives. From our friends at Stop the ACLU, who have done the legwork to actually read the bile of that liberal cesspool:We must also engage, however, in the more difficult task of understanding the sources of such madness. The essence of this tragedy, it seems to me, derives from a fundamental absence of empathy on the part of the attackers: an inability to imagine, or connect with, the humanity and suffering of others. Such a failure of empathy, such numbness to the pain of a child or the desperation of a parent, is not innate; nor, history tells us, is it unique to a particular culture, religion, or ethnicity. It may find expression in a particular brand of violence, and may be channeled by particular demagogues or fanatics. Most often, though, it grows out of a climate of poverty and ignorance, helplessness and despair.
We will have to make sure, despite our rage, that any U.S. military action takes into account the lives of innocent civilians abroad. We will have to be unwavering in opposing bigotry or discrimination directed against neighbors and friends of Middle Eastern descent. Finally, we will have to devote far more attention to the monumental task of raising the hopes and prospects of embittered children across the globe—children not just in the Middle East, but also in Africa, Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe and within our own shores.
Tim Blair over at the Daily Telegraph has more.
Yes, we must empathize with them because they were poor...Uh, no. The pilot of Flight 93 was a well to do Muslim living in Germany. He came from a wealthy family, as did most of the hijackers. So, once again, Barry misses the ball.
I thought this guy was supposed to be different. However, how is this any different from the nonsense of let's love them into submission that almost led us to ruins in the 1970s? Come on now.
