Interesting Post about Moral Equivalence

This is a great post about how moral equivalence is not a new invention of the loony left. The anti-war loons have been practicing for a long time and in this post they mention a little bit of it from WWII.

The funny thing about these pacifists is trying to figure out what it would take for them to fight and kill for something. I guess it wasn't the threat of death on himself and family because the Blitz had been going on for some time when D.S. Savage wrote this screed in 1942.

What would it take to get these guys to fight back. I guess bombing from the air and the threat of invasion is not enough. Would this guy pick up a rifle if the Germans were actually landing the boats? Or would he stay a pacifist to the very end when he is put up against the wall and shot?

The same goes for the anti-war crowd today. Do we wait until they start chopping off peoples heads and daily bombing starts in the US like it was Israel? Or do we acquiesce to Al-Quida and wrap our women up like mummies and stone them if they drive a car? I guess these pacifists will just continue to say "not in my name" until a true totalitarian theocracy (they will say one is already in place) takes over. And then they can march in front of that black Ali Akbar banner with their principals to protect their necks from the sword.
