The Ponderosa: MSNBC's Dem Lickspittle Matthews: Insurgents "not bad guys"

Death before Dhimmitude

Energy Independence

Above this race of men stands an immense and tutelary power, which takes upon itself alone to secure their gratifications and to watch over their fate. That power is absolute, minute, regular, provident, and mild. It would be like the authority of a parent if, like that authority, its object was to prepare men for manhood; but it seeks, on the contrary, to keep them in perpetual childhood: it is well content that the people should rejoice, provided they think of nothing but rejoicing. For their happiness such a government willingly labors, but it chooses to be the sole agent and the only arbiter of that happiness; it provides for their security, foresees and supplies their necessities, facilitates their pleasures, manages their principal concerns, directs their industry, regulates the descent of property, and subdivides their inheritances: what remains, but to spare them all the care of thinking and all the trouble of living?

MSNBC's Dem Lickspittle Matthews: Insurgents "not bad guys"

'Hardball with Chris Matthews' for Nov. 15

...

MATTHEWS: Well, let me ask you about this. If this were the other side, and we were watching an enemy soldier, a rival-I mean, they're not bad guys, especially-just people that disagree with it. They're in fact the insurgents fighting us in their country.

...
-more-

Nah, they're not bad guys. One might even say they're mere "nuisances" ...

And, Chris, they are not "insurgents", they are "terrorists", whose cause is preventing liberal democracy from taking root in that region. Hardly modern day "Minutemen", as one portly propagandist once characterized them.

Oh, and "their country" is on OUR side.

Pinheads.

Folks, these people really think they're smarter than us!
