Ladies and Gentlemen: The "Regressive Left"

[stevenleser]

26. Lets expand on your expansion a bit. Since the end of World War 2 how many other countries

have engaged in human rights violations and how many times has the US attempted to intervene in those situations?

Even in the cases where I think all DUers agree that the US was ultimately wrong to act, in the vast majority of cases those countries and their leaders were brutal. Who else was interested in doing something about it?

Is the group to whom the OP and various of the rest of us is referring fair in those cases or are they always looking for reasons to blame the US and the west with some of those reasons sounding more and more ridiculous as time goes on?

Are you familiar with the term negative nationalism as coined by Orwell? If not, I think you should give it a read. The counterpunch portion of the left seems dripping with negative nationalism with the US as their chosen antagonist. http://orwell.ru/library/essays/nationalism/english/e_nat

We can't even consider doing something about groups like ISIS, Al Qaeda and Boko Haram without this group trotting out the same tired memes.

It goes further than the US or the West. The same silly behavior is in evidence against the Democratic party and Democratic leaders like Obama and the Clintons.
