Lileks takes on Cindy

Not one of his best pieces, but there is one graf that struck me because it resonates with my own thinking. I have been accused of being a conservative, but am not. What I am, though, is a moderate who has been thoroughly repulsed by left-wing cant and the moral imbecility that emanates from that end of the political spectrum.

The hard left in America needs to realize a bald, cruel fact: Anyone who sees no moral distinction between Israel and the mullahs of Iran, or sees the U.S. attempt to set up a constitutional republic in Iraq as equivalent to the Syrian occupation of Lebanon, suffers from incurable moral cretinism. The more the fervent anti-war base embraces these ideas, the more they ensure that no one will trust the left with national security. Ever.

Exactly!
