What liberals—who hate manhood, police, soldiers, and fathers—call “courage”

In his article, “Obama Still in Bed with Racist Wright,” Don Feder writes:

After being caught in bed with a live racist-cum-America-hater, Senator Barack Obama did rhetorical hand-stands to explain away the liaison.

Obama delivered his 5,000-word rationalization (“A More Perfect Union”) in Philadelphia on Tuesday. The New York Times was positively pre-orgasmic, headlining its editorial hosanna “Mr. Obama’s Profile in Courage.”

Oh, please. The Senator finally confronted his Wright problem out of necessity, not courage.

Liberals also call it “courage” when a presidential candidate, in order to justify his 20-year alliance with an America-hating black racist, goes on national television and describes his own white grandmother, who raised him, as a racial bigot whose bigotry made him “cringe.” That’s liberals’ idea of a real man.

I have had some tenuous connections to “the arts” in my past and one bizarre manifestation of the liberal false use of the term “courage” is applying it to those in the arts.

For example, you will hear that so-and-so gave a courageous performance in that movie or play, or that singer showed amazing courage in performing that song. All I can say is that as a conservative all along, I just sat behind my drumset and tried as hard as I could not to smirk as the preening peacocks tried to convince themselves that it took the same courage to get on a stage and play act or make music as it would to enter a battlefield or work in an ER or be a cop.

I’ve heard others try to play this off and say, “Oh no, they don’t mean that kind of courage,” but in truth I think that’s exactly what they mean.
