Subj: Loyal Opposition

We have noted in recent months a tendency on your part to extend your opposition to the current administration until it becomes support for Islamofascist jihadis. This is not healthy, for you or for the country. In fact, it could get a lot of people killed if carried too far.

There is an old concept in politics known as "the loyal opposition." I respectfully suggest you familiarize yourselves with it. Please see the attached, which is a stirling example thereof.


The Moose asks for some perspective on the war against Jihadism.

The most reactionary force on the planet is Jihadist terrorism. While some liberals fear that the American religious right would return America to the 1950's, the Islamic fascists look to the seventh century as their model. All values, ideals and freedoms that are treasured by liberals would be repealed and eliminated.

Yet, it is the right that is usually identified as the most adamant opponents of the Jihadists. Indeed, the left has increasingly embraced an amoral realism that is more in the conservative tradition than that of liberal internationalism.

Opposition to the Iraq war has much to do with this role reversal. But, it is far from clear that the top priority of the left is the war against the Jihadists. The left even rejects the labeling them fascists even though they advance a totalitarian ideology that is animated by a nihilistic hatred of "the other". It is easy to rant and rail against the American religious right, but where is the sound and fury against the radical Islamists who once again attempted through their violence to intimidate reasoned debate in the West? . . .

America remains the great hope of liberalism in a world threatened by reactionaries who seek to repeal civilization and return us to the seventh century. For the sake of the soul of progressivism, it is time for liberals to speak these truths.

Anti-Bush animus is leading lefties to lose perspective and adopt the old "Blame America First" mentality. The enemy is not us.

#1  This is absolutely correct. Islamos would kill the weakest first. Of course, most liberals would immediately convert, being the gutless, useless shitbags they are. Their wimmin folk may feel betrayed at that point, but it would be too late. They would become instant chattel in a bag. Their loud, shrill voices would be silenced immediately. Their world of luxury would dissolve. Their "rights", including any right of dissent would be gone forever. All this makes it so laughable to watch these fools perform the Kabuki dance in front of the world.
