I like this post on Random Jottings, especially this passage referring to the sniping and the backbiting and so forth engaged in by the "left" or whatever the anti-change, pro-status-quo contingent is to be called these days:
I've been totally disgusted by the way lefties have pounced on any mistake or hesitation by our forces, without even a pretense of making "constructive criticism," or a pretense of feeling joy and pride for the liberation of Iraq. But really the situation is like that optical illusion where you squint and the goblet turns into two faces. I should be feeling sorry for those poor pathetic goops. Their poverty is so patent. They are like hungry dogs under a banquet table, snapping at any crumbs that fall. They have no plans, no visions, no dreams, and not the least inclination to do anything positive or creative. All they can do is watch the magician perform, and hope that he drops the ball, or fails to find a rabbit in his hat.

Update: Example No. 1. Example No. 2.
Posted by Andrea Harris at April 26, 2003 01:58 AMHow utterly ironic that the "liberal" Left should come to be identified with the defense of the status quo and an institutionalized, reflexive hostility to change! Wasn't that the charge they always leveled at conservatives?
Posted by: Francis W. Porretto at April 26, 2003 at 07:31 AMThey are the status quo, they are the reactionaries, and all they can do is piss and carp and moan.
Because they don't stand for anything, don't believe in anything, except that the so-called "right" is evil.
