You know what just struck me?

I’m sure it has already crossed your mind, but it just really sank in with me today, that the far-left is going to go to even greater extremes to get Barack Hussein Obama elected into the Oval Office, than they did when they ran “General Betrayus” ads and accosted Condi Rice with bloody hands and all of that Code Pink bullcrap to try and mess with the Petraeus/Crocker testimony on Iraq up on The Hill last year.

It probably is just starting to sink in with me because now it seems crystal clear who the Democratic nominee will be now.

And with “friends” like William Ayers, who wields a considerable insurgency-minded influence amongst impressionable rebellious college-aged kids who populate groups like the RNC Welcoming Committee and Recreate ’68 planning big things for the DNC in August and the RNC in September, and many many left wing liberal newspaper editors/bloggers slinging like what you are about to read below….all I can say is…

Get ready for the wildest 6 months in American History…

This from Bruce Ramsey, the editor of the Seattle Times:

Democrats are rebuking President Bush for saying in his speech to the Knesset, here, that to “negotiate with terrorists and radicals” is “appeasement.” The Democrats took it as a slap at Barack Obama. What bothers me is the continual reference to Hitler and his National Socialists, particularly the British and French accommodation at the Munich Conference of 1938.

What Hitler was demanding was not unreasonable.

STOP!

What the did he just say?

What Hitler was demanding was not unreasonable.

That’s what I thought he said…I’ll let him continue, I need to go put my fist through something.

What Hitler was demanding was not unreasonable. He wanted the German-speaking areas of Europe under German authority. He had just annexed Austria, which was German-speaking, without bloodshed. There were two more small pieces of Germanic territory: the free city of Danzig and the Sudetenland, a border area of what is now the Czech Republic.

We live in an era when you do not change national borders for these sorts of reasons. But in 1938 it was different. Germany’s eastern and western borders had been redrawn 19 years before—and not to its benefit. In the democracies there was some sense of guilt with how Germany had been treated after World War I. Certainly there was a memory of the “Great War.” In 2008, we have entirely forgotten World War I, and how utterly unlike any conception of “The Good War” it was. When the British let Hitler have a slice of Czechoslovakia, they were following their historical wisdom: avoid war. War produces results far more horrible than you expected. War is a bad investment. It is not glorious. Don’t give anyone an excuse to start one.
