On the Right Side of History ... Take Two
Rational Exuberance - Bull Moose
Another validation of what one would think to be a more predominant view ...
If progressives do not make it unambiguously clear that they support victory over the fascist terrorists in Iraq and elsewhere, history will not be kind to us - nor should it. Progressives should never mute their dissent to the plutocratic policies of the Bushies. They should never silence their opposition to the Administration's arrogant and irresponsible alienation of allies. However, the democratic left should never cede its tradition of supporting democrats against tyrants that was bequeathed to them by FDR, Truman, JFK, Carter and Clinton.The Moose feels quite strongly about this because seared into his memory is the despicable partisan opposition of Tom DeLay and his gang to Bill Clinton's intervention to stop genocide in Kosovo. Progressives should now not fall victim to Left-wing DeLayism.
The democratic left should follow the example of Tony Blair, not Michael Moore.
As the Moose has stated before, the justified fervent opposition to the Bushies should never allow those on the left to surrender their own principles. Then, our political adversaries have truly triumphed and we have betrayed our ideals.
