Just look at their comments on Huffington Post, tripping over themselves to praise Rep. Murtha’s evil call for military slavery. Take note of their reverence for past wars that were grander and more smoothly run than Shrub’s. This is too disgusting for words.
If I had to choose between a welfare-state-worshipping, envirowacko, micromanagement party like the Democrats and a full-blown imperial warfare state party like the Republicans, I’d choose the former.
But if the Dems are the ones who finally bring back slavery, they will again be the more evil party, as they were under Wilson, FDR, Truman and LBJ.
This should be no surprise. Nothing is theoretically more egalitarian than military slavery, where all the slaves become equally dispensible cogs in the war machine. Who would clamor for such equality more than progressives? Nevermind that, in practice, the elite will still get their kids out of service. For these wannabe Communists, just like the originals, it’s the common man who most needs the democratizing and equalizing effects of the dictatorship.
As for Murtha, I never liked him. Never trust a critic of war whose main virtue is his own past experience in such mass criminality and unbridled inhumanity.
Thanks to Lew Rockwell for the link.
