NANCY PELOSI'S MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR IS DYING TO TAKE YOU AWAY

"...Defying the White House's Middle East policy by meeting with Syrian President Bashar Assad, Pelosi said, "The road to Damascus is a road to peace..."

        Contemporary liberals constantly remind the rest of us how much more intelligent they are. I personally heard a retarded man express disbelief that anyone could have voted for President Bush because “he’s so stupid.” Calling someone like the President ‘stupid’ is an indirect way of asserting one’s own superior intelligence. Long ago, Liberalism devolved into a psychotherapeutic stance, a set of attitudes, rather than a coherent body of ideas. Horsefeathers regards Liberalism as the therapeutic religion of the playground. Its aim is to assuage hurt feelings, to reassure true believers that they really are better, smarter and more empathic creatures whose exquisite sensibilities entitle them to decide what’s best for the rest of us. After all, they care, they ‘understand the other’, they're "in touch" with their inner child. They know that war is foolish and misguided as well as bad for children, that Amerika is the greatest problem, and that victim status trumps everything. They were the good little girls and boys who told the teacher about those dreadful boys in the playground who just wanted to win the stickball game and didn’t care that the losers felt bad.
        Enter Nancy Pelosi, a creature stuffed full of platitudinous, politically correct beliefs and possessed of fatuous self regard, based on no actual real world accomplishment. Her plastic surgeon’s multiple efforts to sustain her denial of biological reality have, instead, made her into a bizarre looking caricature of the human condition, female variety. In a way, she is the perfect physical representation of Liberal fantasies about human nature: utopian fantasies trump reality. It's possible to remain, in the words of a Bob Dylan song, "forever young".
        This would all be laughable, were it not that Nancy Pelosi is number three in line for the Presidency, and as such she encourages the belief in followers of totalitarian Islam that the United States is too decadent, too in love with its comforts, too feminized to actually fight against our enemies. While she hasn’t literally proclaimed “Peace in our time”, her smiling photo session with Basher Assad is filled with obvious self-satisfaction. She will return to Washington convinced that she is a better person than the President. She would be eager to remind us that Neville Chamberlain was a "good" man, a man who just needed more time to talk things out with Hitler. How sad that Chamberlain never got the chance for one more meeting, one more opportunity to bond with Hitler and acknowledge the validity of his grievances. Meanwhile, American marines are dying while Damascus Nancy gazes into the eyes of Basher Assad and shows respect for our enemies by donning their garb of female enslavement. But of course, she's so, so intelligent. Just like Neville Chamberlain.
