A Liberal Slogan Conservatives Can Adopt for Al-Qaeda Leader Dr. Zawahiri: Healthcare Not Warfare

     I saw a typical Left-wing slogan today, an example of the usual simplistic thinking on the Left.  It read “Healthcare not Warfare.” 

     As is often the case whenever I see slogans intended to oppose the War on Terrorism, such as “Make Peace, Not War,” I would agree literally with the message of the slogan, as long it were intended strictly for the Islamist enemy that has been making war upon us for many years. 

     Alas, Leftists do not mean it that way.  Just as many liberals advocated for unilateral disarmament during the Cold War, by “war,” in this case, they mean not the unjustifiable terrorist and other militant attacks by Islamists, but our own measures of self-defense.  It is the latter that angers them much more than the former, which leads to such foolish slogans. 

     But there was another reason for my post, in addition to refuting liberalism.  Because of the irony that the leader of al-Qaeda, the terrorist organization with the most American and Western blood on its hands, Ayman al-Zawahiri, is a doctor, I could not pass up the opportunity to post my thought that this particular Left-wing slogan ought to be turned to good use against the Islamist enemy: Dr. Zawahiri, practice healthcare, not warfare!
