For the life of me, I just can not understand the genuine affection liberals seem to have with the lowest forms of human debris we have to deal with. It seems to me that liberals either have an enormous blind spot, a tragically misplaced sense of victimhood, or maybe, just a chronic mental disorder.
During the trial of John Cooey, here on the west coast of Florida, the local paper ran daily updates on the status of the guy’s defense strategies. The paper often wrote opinion columns trying to explain away this lunatic’s behavior as either: predictable, blamable, and even justifiable. They went on and on about the man’s family dysfunctions; about his alleged chemical dependencies; about his social problems and about how society may have created this monster. With liberals, it’s always our fault.
For those of you who don’t remember, this creep kidnapped and raped and bound a young girl in a closet for days and then, to top things off, he then buried her alive outside his singlewide. My newspaper and most of the other local media took it upon themselves to actually defend this guy. It was nauseating and I often averted my eyes at the headlines or turned the radio volume down when a breathless newscaster provided trial details. He deserved no such defense. He forfeited any right to draw a breath, I believe, the moment that young, terrified, helpless girl drew her last. As they used to say in the old Western movies:”give him a fair trial and then hang him.” We euthanize animals, don’t we?
A year or so ago, we all went through the enforcement of the Tookie Williams death sentence. Liberal do-gooders, without any encouragement from the defendant, took up the cause that would spare this animal’s life. To what end, I have no idea. Here was an unrepentant, cold blooded murderer who ignored the pleadings of one of his wounded victims, during an armed robbery, and calmly fired a shotgun shell into the young mans chest, point blank. Yeah, where do I sign up to speak on this guy’s behalf…charming fellow, this guy Tookie.
But in prison, this lunatic wrote a children’s book. I guess that was enough for many in Hollywood to come to his defense. I honestly can not recall any of his defenders showing even one ounce of compassion for this guy’s victims. All compassion went to poor Tookie. Liberals love victims so much that they will invent them, if none otherwise exist
And now I see the headlines in the world’s most revolting newspaper, The NY Times, trying to defend, in their own way- Khalid Sheik Muhammad. They`still try to argue that water boarding is torture, when our own special forces undergo the same treatment in their training. They argue loud music is torture for the little dears in Gitmo; yet it is manna for our teenie-boppers. They claim humiliation is torture, but Bob Herbert humiliates himself weekly in his predictable, insipid column. They point out that disrespect is torture, yet never show any respect for people like the “Gold Star” moms. Cindy Sheehan is their poster mom. They say serving pork is torture. I say reading Frank Rich and their editorials is torture. Liberals are amazingly predictable. The true victim is never to be sympathized with; the perpetrator always has their reasons. And I won’t even start on the abortion issue! Who is more vulnerable; a six month fetus or a thirty year old, married female executive?
I simply do not understand why anyone would argue for murderers or rapists or psychotic gang bangers. To what end or for what purpose does it serve, if I were to be persuaded to side with these animals. Why does anyone even attempt to explain away the unexplainable?
Liberals always say things like: “We must be above that.” Or: “We mustn’t judge.” Or: “We must set an example.” Or: “What will the world think of us?” Or “We are better than that.” Or they spout the one line that truly defines all liberals: “We must be fair.” Fairness trumps even common sense.
Sympathy for the devil? I’d say so. And this attitude may just get us all killed.
