re: #483 MandyManners

As I noted above, that’s another chink in the liberal belief that terrorism is caused by poverty and ignorance.

This is typically what happens when either side, right or left, takes a cavalier attitude towards reality. Eventually all comes full circle. The terrorist are poor meme, which mainly came from the left, is being disproved over and over as the years go on, and we are finding out these people come from a multitude of social and financial backgrounds.

We saw this up thread. Darthstar claims that this man is no more Muslim than McViegh was Christian. But that argument doesn’t fly. Over and over we heard from the left the meme that McVeigh was a Christian terrorist and that there is not much different from the radical Christian right than the radical branch of Islam. But suddenly Darthstar forgets the popular perception that the left pushed, because it no longer supports the current thesis.

And closer to home, Suchislife trashing you, Mandy, for your avatar, and then having to twist and spin in the wind, forgetting that the very left that colors Suchislife’s thinking is the same left that supported “piss christ” and other such images. Once again a leftist meme comes full circle and and they can’t help but trip over it.

It’s catching up with the left (and the right)… and it’s quite funny to watch.
