…through what appears to be a transvestite Code Pink operative with an “impeach Bush” t-shirt at the Valerie Plame hearing.

Of course I’m speaking facetiously here, but its still pretty damn funny; the kind of thing you would see on South Park or something.

But this brings me to a more serious note. Yesterday, legions upon legions of Iraq war protesters descended upon Washington to coincide with the 5th year anniversary of the invasion. Like maggots rushing toward a succulent carcass, thousands of these hopelessly simple-minded post-materialist slugs marched through the bitter global warming induced cold to whine about the war. But I only have two questions for these clowns:

Who are you protesting for? Certainly not the troops, because the indisputable vast majority of them have spines (an appendage you poor half-wits are desperately in need of) and want to complete their mission. And certainly not the Iraqi people, as the majoritarian consensus here as well demonstrates actual Iraqis, not spoiled progressive jackasses, prefer Iraq under Maliki over your good buddy Saddam. Plus the majority of them believe that the new security implementations will be successful, and that if the US were to withdraw it would bring only further bloodshed, all sentiments you revile. But what do they know, they’re only, pfft, Iraqis. You’ve got Cindy Sheehan and Michael Moore, true paragons of the intellectual community.

But there is a second, more revealing and penetrating question we must ask of these protesters, who are you protesting against? Yes, yes, we know, you’re protesting against George “Satan Incarnate” Bush. But what about that other, more eminent enemy…you know, al-Qaida? Hizbollah? Global Jihad? You never seem to protest against their crimes against humanity, their willfull and coordinated mass-murders, their perpetual desire for the annihilation of all of America, a state which allows progressives like you to fester? Aren’t you just a bit disingenouus?

We look at these snarling, ravenous banner-wielding squealing people parading through the streets, but what are we really seeing? We see the pinnacle of human cynicism and petulence, we see the result of the Hemingway philosophy, a human plague, a group of socially alienated and obtusely thinking creatures attempting to prove to the world that they’re important, that they’re making a difference. When in the end once their little circus subsides, the world keeps turning, and no one cared. And no one should.

By definition liberal progressivism is characterized by a social movement against the injustice of the state. When no such injustice exists, when the only evil and terror is resonating from abroad, supposed domestic injustice must be manufactured. Truth is an inconvenient afterthought.

Thus ultimately that transexual protester at the Libby trial is an adequate representation of ultra-progressivism, lonely rejects attempting to masquerade rancor and rudeness as benign dissent.

But we can’t be fooled.
