Marxists for Mohammad

(from Libertas)

"...They want us out of Iraq. They believe America is an immoral country with imperialist oil-driven goals. They believe our military tortures prisoners. They use car bombings to undermine our resolve. They dwell on, highlight, and proclaim bad news from Iraq and Afghanistan to further their agenda. They want the actions of a few idiots at Abu Ghraib thrown in our face at every opportunity. They want the atrocities committed by al Queda ignored. And they count on weak-willed politicians to achieve their goals. Question: Am I describing some (not all) ["]pro-freedom,["] ["]pro-American,["] ["pro-military["] "progressives," or the terrorists..."

My answer (as the Libertas site's author and the circumstance of reality suggest);

It makes no difference. The most strident (and phony) among the "anti-war" crowd are largely comprised of the usual clowns who bitterly oppose everything about the United States, from it's cultural pastimes to it's economic dynamism. Marxists, Trotskyites, garden variety socialists, and Muslim terrorists -- not a whole lot of difference, in sympathies or hopes for the future.

The left has always been about "planned" society. They have never been about "peace," "justice," or "progress" in spite of their PR soundbites to that effect. In the end they are only about power; the power of the state and ideology over the individual and private creativity. In this regard, they are the perfect compliment to the Islamo-fascists. Their identical sympathies should be a surprise to no one.
