Cheney calls democratism critics “racist”
Bush and Rice have repeatedly said that anyone who doubts that Muslims are willing, ready, and able to create and maintain democratic forms of government has a “condescending” attitude. This is not, needless to say, a statement designed to encourage thoughtful discussion about the most ambitious foreign policy ever proposed by a U.S. president. Well, our homosexual-marriage-supporting, “conservative,” “hard-line,” “right-wing” vice president has just done Bush and Rice one better. On the Rush Limbaugh show today, Cheney told Rush that anyone who doubts that Muslims are capable of democracy is showing a “racist” attitude. Rush did not protest this stunningly PC comment. He did not ask, for example: “Mr. Vice President, if people notice that the entire Muslim world lives under tyrannies and has always done so, how is seeing that fact, and drawing reasonable conclusions about it, ‘racist’? And if people note that Muslim societies are based on clan and tribe, so that when a person gets into a government position, his aim is not to serve the public good, but to advance his clan, how is noticing that fact about Muslim societies, ‘racist’? And if people see that under various forms of Islam, people simply vote the way their Imam tells them to, because they are not supposed to think for themselves, how is it ‘racist’ to remark on that fact? And if people learn that Islam requires Muslims to live under the totalitarian sharia law, and to impose it on the whole world, how is it ‘racist’ to discuss this important fact about Islam? Are we to stop thinking about the world and just conform ourselves to whatever President Bush says, since the alternative is to be called a racist?”
Needless to say, El Slowbo, Scourge of the PC Left, did not ask such questions of the “conservative” vice president. Email entry |
