Lenin called them "useful idiots," those people living in liberal democracies who by giving moral and material support to a totalitarian ideology in effect were braiding the rope that would hang them. Why people who enjoyed freedom and prosperity worked passionately to destroy both is a fascinating question, one still with us today. Now the useful idiots can be found in the chorus of appeasement, reflexive anti-Americanism, and sentimental idealism trying to inhibit the necessary responses to another freedom-hating ideology, radical Islam.
Throughout Andy Rooney's three decades on 60 Minutes, he has served as a useful idiot on behalf of nearly every enemy of freedom and anti-American idea that has come around the bend. Brilliantly, too. One minute he's waxing romantic on the smell of old books recently found in the attic, and the next minute he's making a seemingly reasonable statement about climate change.
I admire Andy Rooney's ability to make frightening statements of a dangerous and deadly ideology sound like an innocuous offhand comment that all should find agreeable. He did so once again last night, this time during his monologue on Memorial Day.

Lefties love Bill Dupray: "If you are unfamiliar with this guy, he's the kind of moron who shouldn't be allowed out in public without and [sic] escort and a special helmet. Everything on Patriot Room is either 1)wrong or 2) news to exactly nobody." - Daily Kos
Now back to Bill Dupray he's a rising star amongst the right-wing misinformers . . .. As stated in the opening he operates the republican gin-mill called the Patriot Room and uses it as his platform for disseminating his rabid anti-democratic, anti-liberal propaganda and judging by the traffic to his site and google hits he dispenses a lot of neo-con kool-aide. - Barack Obama's Organizing for America community blog
"I really thought that the last [post] Dupray wrote was one of the most brilliant things I’ve read this whole debate." - Dan Perrin, RedState
