The Honorable Edward Koch Explains it All For You.

Feature_Ed-Koch.jpg

Are you one of those people who can't quite understand this whole " war on terror" thing? Are you the type who just can't bear to hear another "neocon" rant about the so called "necessity of war"? Do you own way too many cats, drive a volvo but wish you had a prius? Are you one of the three remaining listeners to Air America? Do you think Dennis Kucinich is really smart, and if there was any sort of real democracy in America, he would be president instead of you-know-who?

Are you repulsed at all these "nasty people" on the right who make such a fetish of fighting the "so called enemy"?

Then sit down and take a seat, pour yourself a drink and read a little essay from the former mayor of New York. Not Guliani, But The Right Honorable Edward Koch - Democrat.

Snip...

"The enemies of the Western world in this war of civilizations are the Islamic fanatics. Those fanatics number hundreds of millions. They truly believe they have the right to kill all infidels. Sometimes, the fanatic warns us in his own words. Adolf Hitler wrote Mein Kampf (My Struggle) in 1925 in which he told the world of his plans. A recent leader of al-Qaeda, the late Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, spoke openly of his beliefs, “Killing the infidels is our religion, slaughtering them is our religion, until they convert to Islam or pay us tribute.”

"Take them at their word. Hitler meant what he said. So do the Islamic fanatics. Unlike the Western world, where we love life, the Islamic fanatics love death, what they refer to as martyrdom, killing the infidel—Christians, Jews, Hindus, Muslims of different sects—and being rewarded with 72 virgins and a prominent place in heaven."

"They believe that we Westerners do not have the inner strength to withstand them."

Read the whole thing.

See, there IS one Democrat I could vote for. Too bad hes not running, but if he was, I'm sure the New York Times would be against him.

After seeing The Left go so rabidly after Lieberman, and, in addition, seeing him stand on his principles despite the cost -- I'd have to say I'd think him worth considering, too.

We need more men with principles, nowadays, sirrah...
