What Liberals Do
By Demosthenes | January 13, 2009
I was reading a novel last night and came across what I considered a great depiction of liberals when it comes to any sort of warfare:
“They buy into the theory that opposing the use of force–for whatever reason–is inherently ‘noble’ and not a gutless renunciation of the will–and ability–to resist aggression or any other sort of organized evil. As long as someone else gets on with fighting the war, they can enjoy the luxury of continuing to oppose it to prove their moral superiority.”
From: Field of Dishonor, by David Weber, Bean Publishing, 1994.

It’s a lazy approach–both mentally and pysically.
Mentally, because they do not have to analyze the conflict and determine who is right and who is wrong. (Or most right and most wrong.)
Physically, becasue it takes effort to resist aggression.
