Liberal Dilemma

The Governor of South Carolina intends to reject bailout funding – at least partly – comparing the endless deficit spending spree to Zimbabwe-style lunacy.

Upon his public stamen, the usual howls of excoriation began from Democrats, labeling his position as “racist” since, apparently, Zimbabwe remains mostly black.

Concerning Zimbabwe, reluctant as we may be to compliment a dictator who prefers to be addressed as "Comrade," we are compelled to do so in the case of Robert Mugabe. He officially refers to homosexuals as "perverts who do not deserve civil rights."

In his words, "Let the Americans keep their sodomy, bestiality, stupid and foolish ways to themselves. Let the gays be - gay - in the United States and Europe, but they shall be sad people here."

How about that? What an interesting proposition – the left needs to defend someone on the basis of one protected quality while they proceed to deny others their protectedness.

What a dilemma for a committed liberal…
