While I usually talk about solving problems in America on this blog, I have to make a comment about a segment I saw on the Hannity & Colmes show on the Fox New Network. Appearing on the show was Phil Donahue touting his new movie, "Body of War". I just have to comment on his total lack of personal integrity about his stance on the war, or any war as he likes to say. However, the only war he seems to take exception with is the Iraqi War which he calls "Bush's War".
He seems to forget that most if not all of the big wars of the 20th century were started by his fellow Democrats (WWI: Wilson, WWII: FDR, Vietnam: JFK), but he fails to mention that little fact. It is so obvious that he is not a liberal since liberals are interested in personal freedoms of all kinds except when they go against what they want or believe. Mr. Donahue is showing the main problem with liberals today: hypocrisy. They are for abortion but then against the death penalty. They are for personal freedom but against any attempt to secure the freedoms they enjoy for others. They are for women's rights (Mr. Donahue's personal favorite), but then forget about the fact that the Islamic governments around the world are the most intolerant of women's rights. Where was Mr. Donahue when women were being beheaded in the soccer stadium at half time in Tehran for adultery!
SUCH HYPOCRISY!!
This is also the same level of hypocrisy that Ellen DeGeneres shows when she rails against the Bush administration, but fails to protest against the murderous actions of the Islamic Republics against gays/lesbians. Where was Ms. D. when the current president of Iran said at Columbia University that his country does not have a problem with homosexuals! Of course not, homosexuals are killed in his country!
Remember, folks, the world ignored the problem of fascism in the late 1930's and WWII (started by FDR by Mr. Donahue's standards) was the result. If we don't stand up to these atrocities, we will like repeat the results of the 1940's. Britian's Chamberlain thought that if he just talked with the Nazi's he would have "peace in our time". Well, the results of that naiveté was quite evident: over 60 million people killed.
Why do liberals rant about one war/conflict because they hate the current administration, and completely ignore worse situations currently going on in Iran, Darfur, Africa, etc? The answer: simple hypocrisy. It is the reason that they look so silly when they speak their mind. Mr. Colmes also falls into this category as well. Please remember folks that all your statements are being kept on video and the Internet for posterity, and your hypocrisy is and will be evident for all to see and understand.
If you really care about human life and liberties: be consistent, that's all; just be consistent! Care for the Kurds gassed by Suddam as you do about the dolphins and baby seals; care for the subjugated women in the Islamic world as your do for the whales and spotted-owls. Be consistent with your indignation. Your ideology is showing, Mr. Donahue.
