US - The liberal betrayal of Ayaan Hirsi Ali

Liberals have betrayed more than just Ali, they've betrayed most of what they used to stand for.

Atlas Shrugged has a most read post on how liberals treated Ali and how well Ali responded.

Read the whole thing but I liked this bit.

“My criticism of the West, especially of liberals, is that they do take freedom for granted,” Ms. Ali responded. She noted that Western Europeans born after World War II are unused to conflict. “They have lost the instinct to recognize that there can be such a thing as an enemy or a threat to freedom, and that’s what I’m witnessing in Europe now,” she stated. “[There is] a pacifist ideology that violence should never be used in any circumstances, and so we should talk and talk and talk. Even when your opponent tells you, ‘I don’t want to talk to you, I want to destroy you,’ the reaction is, ‘Please, let’s talk about the fact that you want to destroy me!’” [That sums up the American left - Atlas]


Most of the Left actually.
