The article may have been a bit overdone, but the underlying thesis is sound.

By the way, Pat’s point regarding the late arrival of American conservatives to this party- dead on. The intelligence community has communicated this message as clearly as we could to the political class for many years, but as we all know they hear what they want to hear based upon their own agendas.

Yes.

And I’m not sure what “hive” I hang out in? I hang around fitsnews, a giant right-wing circle jerk. You on the other hand hang around sinlituplands.com. I bet there is wide variety of opinions there. Do you know the word irony?

Are you referring to my “total and incomplete inability to use or acknowledge facts” as they relate to your posts?

Are you kidding me? I skim most of your posts unless you are specifically talking to me.

One blogger refers to the Left as being “hive minded.”

I am definitely not in your hive!!!

Glad the orderlies let you use the computer today.

PS: If you rearranged the article you cited and replaced the word “Space Alien” with “Islamic” it would be far better. At least funny.

You are ignoring all the required reading material I previously assigned you upon your request for me to do so. Like this article — which expounds upon “the bizarre and singular marriage between the Left and Islamism.”

Pay specific attention to these paragraphs, almost half-way down the page:

“In an article, “The United Hates of America,” David Solway comments on “…the long and destabilizing campaign of the American Left against the political interests of its own country and its rush to embrace the dictatorial agendas of America’s most resolute enemies…’the unholy alliance’ between the radical Left and the Islamic Right.” Solway also comments on a new book by Jamie Glazov, “United in Hate”:

“Glazov’s “analysis,” Solway continues, “seems the only conceivable means of making sense of the leftist orgy of national treason, betrayal of genuine liberal principles, and passionate support of tyrants and demagogues. It also clarifies the bizarre and singular marriage between the Left and Islamism…”

Democratic politicians, left advocacy groups – including every feminist group, Amnesty International and dozens of other left-leaning human rights groups and individuals – have been assailing these practices with a universal voice for decades. Even the laziest search on the internet would have provided more than ample evidence that Herzog was intentionally and overwhelmingly full of shit.

So when did conservatives become concerned with these issues? Nixon, Ford Reagan and H.W. Bush said it was none of our concern. Right-wing activist groups didn’t care as long as it didn’t bother with cheap oil and the Cold War. They even condemned liberals for inserting themselves in the internal affairs of other countries. On the other side, Carter condemned these practices. So did Bill Clinton and Madeline Albright. Hillary Clinton had a speech in March 1999 where she said:

“There probably is no more egregious and systematic trampling of fundamental rights of women today than what is happening in Afghanistan under the iron rule of the Taliban…We have heard all of us the stories of women being flogged with metal cables because a bit of ankle would be showing. We have heard of women being taken to hospital after hospital and finally dying … because there were no women doctors and no male doctor could be permitted to treat the women,” she continued…It is no longer acceptable to say that the abuse and mistreatment of women is cultural. It should be called what it is — criminal.”

So nice try, Ashley, but the facts suggest a reality altogether different.
