Ever so often, the America-hating depravity of liberals is exposed with breathtaking clarity. Normally, they try to hide their embarrassment at being an American. Or they’ll get angrily defensive. “Are you questioning my patriotism?” they’ll intimidatingly ask. To which the answer is: “I would if you had any patriotism to question.”
They fudge and smudge over the fact that they are always on the side of America’s enemies. They always blame America for any problem in the world, and root for America to lose in any conflict.
What they hide best is their secret admiration for Osama Bin Laden. They know how many Americans would like to tar and feather them if they admitted they were thrilled that a guy in a beard and turban living in an Afghan cave destroyed the world’s tallest buildings in America’s greatest city, killed thousands on American soil, and humbled the Great Superpower in the eyes of the world.
So liberals keep this to themselves. Once in a while, though, one of them exposes himself and reveals the ugliness of his soul.
Like a fellow named Richard Marshall did in an email to me this week.
He (of course) is not a To The Point subscriber, yet he saw last week’s emailed TTP Weekly Report which led with the first line of No Moslems Go To Heaven:
“The single greatest achievement of George W. Bush’s presidency, which makes up for all its defects, is that there has not been one repeat – much less several – of the Moslem terrorist attack on America of September 11, 2001.”
So up pops this smart aleck email in my To The Point inbox:
“Hey Jack: Clinton must have been a greater president he did not have any terrorist attacks. Richard Marshall”
I am in permanent email overwhelm. I very much appreciate the emails I get from TTP subscribers and wish I could respond to them all but I just can’t. This one bugged me though. Without checking to see if Marshall was a subscriber (which I should have done first), I quickly sent him a refutation-list:
World Trade Center bombing by Al Qaeda, February 26, 1993: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Trade_Center_bombing
Khobar Towers bombing by Al Qaeda, June 25, 1996: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khobar_Towers_bombing
USS Cole bombing by Al Qaeda, October 12, 2000: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Cole_bombing
Here is his response:
“Those were revenge for the many many many attacks US has carried out, NOT terror, there is a difference.”
Nothing could epitomize the liberal hatred of America more than this. A terrorist attack upon America is, by liberal definition, not terrorism but justifiable revenge. This is the morality of a suicide bomber.
Which is appropriate, because liberals are suicidal. They root for the destruction of their country, they root for the destruction of Western Civilization. They really are on the other side. We should always keep this in mind and never be surprised to find them there. Thanks for reminding me, Richard.

Rod is one of our nation’s leading minds. He’s smart, original, and very committed—a combination that one rarely finds.
Rod Martin and [former Howard Dean campaign manager] Joe Trippi are America’s two foremost experts on online politics.
Rod Martin is a Reaganite-Thatcherite conservative…[and] a man who has spent much of his life ministering to and working for the benefit of others. I know Rod as an advocate for freedom, a leader who understands the real changes we need in Washington, and who has the drive and ability to make those changes happen.
Rod Martin is the kind of dynamic leader who has the knowledge, ability and experience to lead us successfully into the 21st Century. His vision for America is compelling.
Rod Martin literally wrote the book on excellence. Humble yet brilliant, a man of love and compassion, with penetrating clarity he illuminates the world around us, and we are both stirred and enlightened.
Rod Martin is a born leader and an outstanding political mind. Anyone who takes him on is going to have a serious fight on their hands.
Rod Martin is a man of uncommon vision and character. Ever since I first worked alongside Rod in the early days of PayPal, I’ve been struck by his powerful vision for the future. Rod understands the intersection of technology, politics and culture in a way that few others do.
Rod Martin wears with uncommon grace an uncanny ability to link his vigorous faith to the practical challenges of both the business world and the political arena. Yet the respect he shows for others carries a warmth and modesty that are both too rare among those who are strong advocates of feisty positions.
America badly needs more leaders who really get the future. We need more Rod Martins.
Rod Martin is a modern day philosopher-statesman. He is a capitalist intellectual, a conservative iconoclast, a gentle adversary and a kind prophet. He inspires us towards a fresh national vision built upon the original founding principles.
Rod Martin is not only effective and efficient, but he is also perceptive, wise and gracious. He gets things done. He is a great friend and a great ally.
Rod is one of the sharpest, most gracious men I know, and one of the most gifted political thinkers today. His ability to analyze issues and communicate thoughtful insights on them have earned him the respect of people across the political spectrum.
I am proud to have been Rod Martin’s friend for a quarter century, and I can tell you that he is one of the finest men and most outstanding leaders in our church and in our country today. He has a knack for turning everything he touches to success.
Rod Martin is a cornucopian entrepreneur and eutropic thinker whose influence radiates through an array of companies, institutions, movements and churches. A renaissance American, he is also a prolific friend of freedom and faith around the globe.
If Rod Martin represents the next generation of leaders, America has nothing to worry about.
A leader and a servant, in public life and in private, Rod Martin strides at the top of his profession, and has nowhere to go but up. He is in the truest sense of the word ‘outstanding’.
Rod Martin is undoubtedly one of the most accomplished thought leaders today. He is a wonderful mentor, a humble role model, and a deep inspiration for the next generation of scientific innovators and entrepreneurs.
Rod’s achievements pale beside his character and his brilliance. He sees what others can’t. He leads when others won’t.
Rod Martin is one of America’s finest young minds.
