The strange delusional world of the Bush/Blair hating anti-warriors

What is it that makes me despise these people so much?

Is it plain, simple ignorance?

Is it a choice of historical narrative that is so selective and omits so much evidence that it can provoke audible laughter?

Is it the strength of emotion which seems to be in reverse correlation to the depth of understanding?

Is it the disgusting moral equivalences that are made between religions, institutions and people which are so far from equivalent that educated people are left speechless by them?

Is it the absolute refusal to ever consider themselves part of 'us', only as part of 'them'?

Is it the grotesque caricatures which they seem to genuinely believe are matter-of-fact truth?

Is it the tiny range of their analytical reach?

Is it the dependence on key phrases and forms of wording that are used like magical incantations to hide the vacuum of original thought?

Is it the parochial worldview which sees the world outside America and Britain as merely cyphers in a bitter war between 'progressives' and 'neanderthal conservative/Christians'?

Is it the widespread acceptance of personal ad hominem abuse which substitutes for cogent reasoning?

Is it the expectation that the world at large will naturally see the virtue of their position despite their complete inability to justify it using words and logic? (see also the Global Warming Fanatics)

Is it that there is no disgusting foulness or unspeakable brutality that a Muslim can commit which will elicit any condemnation from them, while all Christians have to do is raise a tiny squeak of protest and they are deemed fanatics and fundamentalists?


All these and more. I'm sure there are lots of other things that contribute to my loathing, but these are the ones currently broiling around my mind.
