Is there any better evidence of the immature mentality of the Left that they believe there is something honorable about defending William Ayers? As is typical of their thinking, they believe that since traditional society rejects Ayers for his terrorist past, their willingness to embrace him somehow shows the world what great humanitarians they are.
Of course, if you study the Left carefully you’ll soon understand that their misplaced compassion is inevitably self-serving. Never are they willing to look past the “mistakes” of those that don’t tow the line of their left-wing ideology. In fact, the same self-styled angels of mercy who are willing to forgive and forget, nay even glorify, a leftwing terrorist like William Ayers will not give a second thought to viciously ruining the lives and reputations of those who don’t fall into step with the program of the Left.
And so we have the strange enigma that exposes the true motivations of the Left and frankly makes them look psychotic. They rally around terrorist William Ayers, but they have an all-consuming hatred of Joe McCarthy, whose great crime was his attempt to call the nation’s attention to communist infiltration in our government. They plead for mercy for Stanley Tookie Williams III (convicted murderer and founder of the Crips gang), but they venomously despise Sara Palin because she’s pro-life. The contradictions go on and on.
The real tragedy is that this blatant hypocrisy and manipulation by the Left goes largely unchallenged by the general public, even though we tend to hold traditional, conservative values. Because conservatism is founded in sound principles and common sense, it does not need to rely on phony humanitarianism and stealth manipulation to advance its cause. But the fact that we don’t subscribe to their methodology sometimes makes us blind to it until it’s too late. In other words we don’t think like the Left does. We don’t anticipate, for instance, the Left’s concerted effort to control our educational systems because our own ideology does not require the brainwashing of the young.
And so now we are faced with a very scary reality: 3,000 entrenched ‘educators’ who think it’s cool to support a despicable anti-American terrorist and who are undoubtedly passing their misguided lunacy on to our kids – their students.
