Entry: A Few More Thoughts Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/a_few_more_thoughts1#4034 Post contents: Mr. Gottfried, I too have wondered why the political left doesn't ally with the paleocon right, and then it occurrs to me. The left are not as seriously anti-war as the right. They are too busy trying to paint the war as a creation of religion and to condemn it only in those terms. They also like all the things that go along with the state of war at home; bigger government, more control of the unwashed masses for ambitious social engineering, etc. Their anti-war stance is more a perceived fashion neccessity than it is a feeling with any conviction. They prefer to remain blissfully ignorant of the pattern that gets us into war in the first place. Sent at: 2008 09 07
