I think many of us who were born shortly after the war are, precisely because we were raised in families who had participated in the war and so we suffered the consequences. My father's service in the war was a part of my life. I had read Anne Frank's story in middle school but my son who is in grade 10 has yet to read it. I am going to put a copy of the book by his bedside with a strong recommendation to read it.<BR/><BR/>I can not abide the left any longer which is why I now call myself a conservative but in fact I really am a classic liberal. I simply find conservatism more classically liberal than liberal or left. My break with the left and liberals came after 911 when I realized how complicit we had been, and they still are, in hating western civilization and giving aid and comfort to our enemies, which they are still doing. <BR/><BR/>I am tired of hearing of their demands for justice, as if anyone actually knew what was just anymore. On this earth, there is only man-made justice, so justice for one is not justice for the other. This is how it has always been but the left seem to have forgotten that, if any of them ever knew it.<BR/><BR/>The world is in great danger and Israel is it's epicenter. Eric Hoffer wrote that he feared that if Israel fell, that the rest of us wouldn't be far behind. He was not a religious man or Jewish, and neither am I. But I believe it.<BR/><BR/>Hatred from the left for Western civilization and Israel in particular is being stoked from within by the left and Islamic activists. I see it where I live in Canada, the USA, and all over Europe. War within and war without is coming, if not already here.<BR/><BR/>sgiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009004.post-38646927621694378152008-03-23T09:00:00.000-07:002008-03-23T09:00:00.000-07:00Beautifully written and so true.Perusing various l...Beautifully written and so true.<BR/><BR/>Perusing various left of center discussion groups over the last several years has left me wondering "what happened to actual liberals?" Who took them all and replaced them with these dogmatic fundamentalist leftists who know how to repeat every de rigueur meme, but wouldn't know a liberal principle if it hit them over the head?<BR/><BR/> Good to see somebody who gets it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
