p> BRING IT ON br> Re: Jed Babbin's Make Our Day : /p> p>Great overview of the Dems' problems with Judge Alito. My question to the N.Y. Times and the Dems is, if Sam Alito is such a conservative nut and he is against everything that America stands for, why weren't they screaming about him which he was on the Court of Appeals? Why weren't they calling for his impeachment from the bench? Why wait until he is ready to be put onto the Supreme Court? We all know the answer. br> -- Tom Corry br> Ridgefield, Connecticut /p>

I understand the necessity of responding to the often times faulty, mostly ridiculous, positions taken by the left. And nobody does it better than Mr. Babbin. But I fear that our intellectuals aren't following these arguments far enough. It is not enough to parse the arguments and point out the inconsistencies and lies. To stop an analysis at this point is to leave the consumer of information with the idea that the left is just a bunch of stupid or loony people who are just "wrong." Obviously this is not the case. So the question must be asked and commented on, "Why does the left expound these arguments that are so easily dealt with?"

p>The answer is that they are steeped in socialism, Communism or anarchism and invested in the defeat of capitalism. They will say or do almost anything to win this political war that has been going on since the Civil War. The first expressions of this war were unionism and utopianism against industrialization and working conditions. In modern life it is a fight for government benefits against private competition in a rich society. Deep down the left knows it has some weak even false arguments, but that won't stop them from wiggling to try to gain an advantage with voters.
