#1 "The result of this inversion of principles has been that liberals can't form alliances with the victims of al-Qaeda in Afghanistan or Iraq"

Talk about nail on the head. This is dead center. IMO, this describes a Leftist to the micron.

This just has me steaming. Just because the Leftist's can't find friends on the Right, they make friends with the enemy. All the more reason that there must be a total political defeat of the Left.

#2 This just has me steaming. Just because the Leftist's can't find friends on the Right

I think you mean "won't find friends on the Right". For most on the left of the spectrum, there's infinitely more in common between them and your average Republican. Heck, the number of religious conservatives who really want anything resembling a "theocracy" is small -- and almost all REJECTED from the conservative mainstream. Yet the left takes comfort when a for-real "stone the queers, keep the women in the home, pregnant and covered from head to toe" theocrat mouths their talking points.

Unfortunately, the left has internalized a great deal of what had been Soviet propaganda. For them to consider the possibility that the US isn't the villain would require questioning a great deal of their core beliefs, and doing that puts them at too high a risk of one of them coming up with the wrong answers and not being leftists anymore.
