"The best we can do is to pray for you."
That from an exchange with a leftist deacon in the Catholic church, aimed at yours truly, for my opining that the Islamist attacks being perpetrated against Christians in foreign countries will one day soon be seen here in the U.S.
You can see the dialog here.
What's interesting is how quickly this man (and another leftist "desperate preacher" who joins him) see Jihadists to be on a par with those who commit rare and isolated attacks perpetrated against abortion clinics and churches. They actually see these loners and these mentally deranged perpetrators in the same manner they see the millions who take the Koran and its precepts seriously enough to murder and cause mayhem.
This sort of juxtaposition can only make sense in the mind of the progressive. And that mindset is more prevalent than you might think. Bill Warner at American Thinker has more:
You can sort the written and spoken words about Islam into two categories -- negative and apologist. Closer observation shows that the negative camp and the apologist camp use different logic, as well as come to different conclusions.
An easy way to see this is to go to a reporting source on the web, such as a newspaper, that has an article about Islam. Read the comments. The negative comments tend to be more based on ideas taken from the Islamic source material from the Koran and Mohammed. Or they quote a jihadi, a poll, or a historical fact.
The apologist comments tend to quote a Muslim friend or establishment expert and attack those who criticize Islam. Critics are called bigots, neo-Nazis, Islamophobes, or some other cruel name. In essence, having negative comments or judgments about Islam is labeled evil. The term "hate speech" is even bandied about. The critic of Islam is a failed sinner who is shamed and morally condemned. It is all very personal and very much about feelings.
Warner's entire piece has helped me make sense of this recent exchange with clueless Religious Leftists and helped me to understand that they've become in essence defacto aopologists for a system of belief purposed in vanquishing Western power.
All the more reason to passionately engage their twisted perspective.

Rick, the hilarious thing i... (Below threshold)1. Posted by John F Not Kerry | December 26, 2010 2:06 PM | Score: 10 (10 votes cast)
Rick, the hilarious thing is that those who rail against "hate" are some of its biggest practitioners. Maybe you should ask those same people how they feel about Sarah Palin. Their hatred will manifest quickly. There's always room on the liberal (political and/or theological) bus for one more hypocrite.

You're one sick puppy, Rick. You really do need help. Your hate is out of control, and putting it on daily display so that you can find fellow sick fucks isn't really "therapy" - you're just digging your hole to hell deeper and deeper.
Bottom line, get help. You're mentally ill.
Quit making excuses for your sick, twisted hatred of your fellow man. Get help.

Standard lefty islamic-murder apologist: "Quit making excuses for your sick, twisted hatred of your fellow man. Get help."
Eric Holder:

"The threat is real. The threat is different. The threat is constant," U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder told ABC's "Good Morning America." "The terrorists only have to be successful once."
Since last year's failed Christmas Day underwear bombing aboard a U.S.-bound flight, homegrown-terrorism arrests have been on the rise, reflecting varied approaches to killing Americans.
"You didn't worry about this even two years ago - about individuals, about Americans - to the extent that we now do. And that is of great concern," Holder said.
Standard lefty islamic-murder apologist: "Eric Holder is a sick twisted hater of poor innocent muslims who only want to be able to kill Christians in peace, and how can that be so wrong?"

So... you spent your Christmas Eve... trolling somebody else's blog... looking for a fight... about how Islam is eeevil... while showing them... as you are being shown now... how ridiculous it looks... when ellipses are used incorrectly? And the funniest part... is when you plug a book... you HAVEN'T READ.
That's twice in the last month, by my count, that you've linked to an argument you've already lost because you think you won. Happy holidays, Rick!

Well,this Rick's inner voice person proves the point that Rick and Bill Warner were making.
Not surprising.

Carol, at 6, shines a light on the basic fact of 'inner ear's' substance. He is the basic protein of the genius of leftist 'tolerance for the intolerant'. The protein is good for growth but there are no vitamins, minerals or other sustaining nurients to allow Dr Frankenstein to exalt with...'It's alive! It's alive! Only an effing ugly, demented monster.

I can't prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that "rick's inner voice" is woop, but I'm 99.9% certain that it is.
Woop, constantly changing identities is grounds for getting your ass banned. And you're already on thin ice on the general, undefined "pain in the ass without any redeeming social value" category for banning.
