The Left has MS

Did you ever have an elderly relative who kept telling you about the way it was when he was a boy? He had it tough, walked ten miles to school every day, uphill, barefoot, in a blinding blizzard. The Left is like that, caught in a time warp. At the drop of a hat (or at a graduation) he will natter on about the heady days of the 1960s, when the Evil Empire (that’s the US for the Lefties) was brought to its knees.

I had a friend who died recently of MS. One of the effects of this disease, in its later stages, is on memory. Short term memory goes while long term memories keep coming back. The Left is afflicted with a version of MS, incapable of remembering the recent past; it casts its mind back to the long ago.

Wretchard, at the Belmont Club, summarized their state when he said:

The really interesting thing about reading the Jihadis is how they seem far more intelligent, strategically savvy and determined than the Left. The days of Lenin and Trotsky are long over. Today's poor relicts can't see beyond gender issues, global warming and sexual politics. If the end of the West comes, its last conscious thoughts will not be of defiance but of genuine and pathetic surprise.
