John Brennan and the Aging Radicals They return to the repression they favored as youth.

[American Spectator] The former CIA director John Brennan is the classic illiberal liberal, an aging radical who openly favors in America the repressiveness he once excused in the Soviet Union. Recall that at the height of the Cold War he was rooting for the Reds. He has admitted that in 1976 he voted for Gus Hall, the American Communist Party’s presidential candidate. That radicalism never left Brennan’s system. He continues to nurse the dream of left-wing autocracy. In his recent pronouncements, he has sounded like a smug Soviet commissar. He recently enthused over the prospect of the Biden administration targeting its political opponents:

We are now looking forward that the members of the Biden team who have been nominated or have been appointed, are now moving in laser like fashion to try to uncover as much as they can about what looks very similar to insurgency movements that we’ve seen overseas, where they germinate in different parts of the country and they gain strength and it brings together an unholy alliance frequently of religious extremists, authoritarians, fascists, bigots, racists, Nativists, even libertarians.

This, of course, is the same John Brennan who overlooked the spread of Islamic insurgency during his time at the CIA. After excusing the evil empire of the Soviets, he played the same role in his avuncular treatment of the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamic groups. Brennan famously sanitized the definition of jihad, saying that the term actually means self-improvement and harmless community organizing.

#2 Doubt he would return to his old post, but maybe as "Senior Global Political Advisor to the President"

His orientation vis-à-vis Islam ....

#4 I believe Comrade Brennan just accused us Libertarians of being Left-Right Deviationists!

Ah, well. You can judge a man by the quality of his enemies.

#5 Salmson, it's no good contacting Diane Feinstein. I've tried. Unless you have a couple hundred thousand to contribute to her, er, campaign, you might as well talk to a rock.
