Thursday, March 25, 2004 | The Demonization of the Moderates
Do you even know what one is? In recent years, the US has shifted so far to the right that true moderates are regularly called extremists, far left fringe, and a variety of other labels intended to smear, to discredit, to dismiss.
An argument can be made that before any real adjustment can take place, it will be necessary to first splash a little cold water of reality on the situation.
Unqualified and categorical opposition to imperialism, to colonialism, to feudalism, by whatever name is not extremist.
Equal protection under the law is not extremist.
Requiring that ALL nations abide by international laws and conventions is not extremist.
The principle that a day's labor should be at the very least, worth a day's survival is not extremist.
That a nation should provide health care to all its citizens, without qualifiers or profiteering or exceptions is not extremist.
The recognition that a nation where only a small percentage of the population participate in the political process is not a democracy, nor is its government legitimately elected is not extremist.
Demanding the application and enforcement of a single universal standard of human rights is not extremist.
These are all moderate postitions, yet expression of support for any one of them will trigger a storm of invective, even by self-proclaimed "leftists," who with an extraordinary feat of ledgerdemain, manage to twirl their ideology into a gnarled teratoid that would frighten the Gipper himself, and send Barry Goldwater screaming into the desert night.
It is time to de-program, time to call things by their real names, to reclaim the lost art of independent thought, and put that first muddy foot on the step that leads out of the pit, and from there, possibly to civilization.
Actions like Sep 11 do not happen in a vaccuum.
Long before those hijackers ever stepped foot on the planes the damage
had been done. They were brainwashed with the same type of garbage
propaganda that is spewed from Fatwa's weblog.

I always thought that "The Enemy Within" was just a metaphore for liberalism, that is, until I encountered Ductape Fatwa. He should be in an orange jumpsuit for sure.
