Too Lazy to Win the War on Terror
- By Justin Darr
The essence of modern liberalism is laziness. The idea of the American Dream is based on individualism and personal responsibility. If you work hard, play by the rules, and develop your God given talents to their fullest, you will be successful in life. However, Liberals do not hold to this ideal and would rather have you go through life sitting around passively waiting for something to be given to you by the government. Theirs is a principle where individualism is sublimated to the state and success defined as relative comfort rather than doing the best you can do.
This type of thinking is destructive enough in the domestic politics, but Liberals are trying to apply the same lazy "get something for doing nothing" mentality to the War on Terror.
The War on Terror has been advanced on many different fronts but the one constant has been the Left does not like it. While the Taliban were collapsing, the "New York Times" was calling Afghanistan a "quagmire." While the FBI was pulling terrorist sleeper cells out of suburban communities, the Left was demonizing the Patriot Act. And as our troops fight terrorist daily in Iraq, Liberals are calling the War a disaster, comparing our soldiers to Nazis, and demanding a time table for America to tuck its tail between its legs and run home. It is easy to sit and claim the Left is opposing the War in hopes of picking up a quick political gain, and to a degree this might be true, but the real reason the Left has given up on winning the War on Terror is that they are too lazy to do what it takes to win. So rather than digging deep and doing what it takes, the Left has decided to give up and drag the rest of us down in defeat with it .............
