As a fierce liberal, it pains me to continually have to acknowledge how right Mr. Jackson is, but truth is truth.
A while back I wrote on my own blog that one of the bases of my political beliefs is the idea that government should be the servant of the people and do all in its power to improve their lives. Exctly how the South Korean left (many of whose leaders were victims of tyranny) believe that supporting (or at least coddling) a regime far worse than any the South has suffered under makes no sense to me. Perhaps we should begin referring to the North as a monarchy in the hope that it will stir revolutionary passions.

Why communism and sympathy for it didn’t go extinct with the exposure of it’s multiple failures and massive accompanying piles of corpses is beyond me. It seems that a general hatred of capitalism leads many to embrace dubious political and economic systems.

Baduk, I agree.

Those people are not pro-all-Korean, but pro-Kim Jong Il. The same sort of people who are suggesting that the Uri Party abandone the current platform and become more like Min No Dang. Min No Dang. Ha, ha ha. Why don’t they just call themselves No Dong Dang?

There’s a lot of these idiots to be found on ohmynews.com. Scary thing is, I’m guessing they have at least 15% support from the general population.

The irony is you, yourself, had been beaten before by your boyfriends(Park, Chun and Rho) and you vowed yourself never be subjected to that tyranny again.

Yet, you are helping Mr.Kim to beat his wife. And, pseudo-intellectual in you justifies the action thinking that this is necessary to open up North Korea. And, you agree with China for sending NK escapees back to NK for horrible torture and death.

What pompous hypocrites you are!

You have a wife-beater, Mr. Kim, living in your neighborhood. You used to tell him about his evil deeds and told him to stop.

However, now you have a customer(China) who buys a lot of your product. China is Mr. Kim’s father and tells you to get along with his son. Or, else.

So, you invite Kim. And, wine and dine him. Mr. Kim, once drunk, goes home and beats his wife even more. You know this will happen but you are afraid of losing China’s patronage. You actually helped Mr. Kim to beat his wife.

One day, you met his black-and-blue wife in the market. She tells you that, after she kills her husband, she will kill China and you for helping her husband to continue his reign of terror.

You lie. You tell her that you did not know she was being beaten by Mr. Kim. You act surprised. But, in the heart of hearts, you know. You contributed to her being messed up. You helped the evil man. You are evil.

Pro-North politicians are evil.

Rho and his cronies are afraid of the truth. They are afraid of the fact that they are helping KJI to oppress these North Koreans.

They do not want to know about the consequences when KJI regime folds and these “repressed” people rise up to take revenge. Not only on KJI’s military officers, but also on pro-KJI South Korean politicians who helped KJI to hold on to power.

Pro-North politicians have a lot of reason to fear for their lives. If their side,the Chinese and KJI, take over South Korea, they are the first ones to be executed. They do not understand the real situation. KJI is being hated in the North Korea and will be detested once they find out about the world outside NK.

And, that day is approaching sooner than they think.
