Greek Leftists disrespect the Acropolis

This is an example of the Lefts view of Western Civilization. They hate it and disrespect it. Even Greek Leftists hate their own civilization

Greek youths hang protest banners from Acropolis

ATHENS, Greece – Protesters hung two giant banners off the Acropolis on Wednesday, with slogans calling for mass demonstrations across Europe and “resistance,” after days of violent protests sparked by the fatal police shooting of a teenager in Athens.

About a dozen protesters held the pink banners over the walls of the ancient citadel, Greece’s most famous monument, one bearing the word “Resistance” written in large black letters in four languages: Greek, English, Spanish and German. The other called for mass demonstrations across Europe on Thursday.

The banners were taken down after two hours.

“There can be no justification for this action. This hurts the image of our country abroad … it is unacceptable,” government spokesman Evangelos Antonaros said.

Resistance is a term use by Islam. So the Greeks after suffering at the hands of Muslims for 400 years use the term of their oppressor. The Left is self hating.

Boston Globe Op-Ed: ‘I Don’t Support the Troops’

Every once in a while a “progressive” gets tired of maintaining a false front, and comes right out and says what they really feel about the military and about America. Today’s self-unmasking is by Steve Almond, for the Boston Globe: Supporting our troops.

PERHAPS the most insidious byproduct of the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, has been a reflexive sanctification of the military. To put this in bumper stickerese: Support the Troops.

Well, I have an ugly confession to make: I don’t support the troops – at least not unconditionally. When somebody tells me they serve in the military, my first impulse isn’t to say, “Thank you for your service!” like those insufferable chickenhawks on talk radio.

My first impulse is to say, “I’m sorry to hear that.” Because I am. I’m sorry to know that the person I’m talking to might someday be maimed or killed on the job, or might someday kill someone else. Or refuel a plane that drops bombs on buildings.

I can’t see how anyone who calls himself or herself Christian – or human, for that matter – wouldn’t be sorry.

The fact that we have an army, that we need an army, is inherently tragic. It’s an admission that our species is still ruled by fear and aggression.
