Lefty Foolishness

Though the title could refer to Mickelson's Meltdown on Sunday, I think a better term would be idiot.

No, what I'm really referring to this clown (need proof? his blog has a "Draft Gore 2008" banner), who for the past year has been the brains (lobotomy?) behind what has become known as "Operation Yellow Elephant." The cutesy name refers to plans to protest College Republicans, calling on them to "volunteer to fight in the war they demanded." Smells like Vietnam, doesn't it?

It's more insidious than that, it is in truth a vitriolic attack on College Republicans for all of their activities. Yes they supported the war in Iraq - as did the majority of Americans prior to the conflict. If they've failed to enlist in large numbers, perhaps it's because they're in college! The Left, since Vietnam, has had a problem with educational deferrments whether they be implicit or explicit; thus that attack. But while CRs may not been enlisting in droves, conservative youth are. Clown-boy brings up the manpower shortage and suggests that CRs might help solve it. On a most basic level, there's not enough of them (and from personal experience I can say many will serve after graduation). The real solution is enlisting more liberals, the children of the 1960s generation where cause and event are ignored and belittled, moral relativism runs rampant, and an absolute inability to take responsibility for the consequences of one's actions are par for the course. Their kids could learn a little something from USMC drill sergeants.

His attacks then turn to spittle-flecked blathering - College Republicans should also serve because of their other heinous acts such as immigrant hunts and affirmative action bake sales, to say nothing of underwriting and bringing to campus Malkin, Coulter, Horowitz, etc. With the exception of Horowitz, who the left dreads merely because he's often so damn good, the rest of his charges are specious. Such speakers and events might be taken seriously by a minority of attendees, but for most they really only serve to elevate the level of debate and provoke lefty students and universities into saying and doing stupid things. CR brings in someone like Coulter who they might find amusing but don't take seriously, and local Democrats and liberals take her all too seriously and go on the warpath. Every time they open their mouth they look more foolish and justify our provocative tactics. No more perfect example exists than this clown.
