When United in Hate: The Left's Romance with Tyranny, Terror, and Hamas first appeared, the Obama era was only beginning, Obama’s ‘New Middle East’ was still far on the horizon, and the ‘Iran Deal’ had yet to be dealt. What made Jamie Glazov's magnum opus so remarkable was how thoroughly it not only recapitulated the ugly history of communism, but anticipated what was only an emerging alliance between two terrible ideologies united by their hateful mutual ambition to destroy civilization as we know it and love it.
Even as it connected the dots between the two totalitarian ideologies, United in Hate also helped conservatives bridge the Cold War era and the 9/11 period. Many conservatives were struggling to understand the nature of the new Jihadist enemy and how it differed from the old communist foe. The Carter and Reagan era flirtations with the Afghan ‘Mujahadeen’ was only one manifestation of deeper links that had been built with the Saudis, the Pakistanis, and other players in Al Qaeda during the Cold War, and some conservatives continued to defend Islam.
Even though the Obama era is in the rearview mirror, the situation today is not so different.
Some conservatives view Islamists as ‘natural allies’ against ‘woke’ leftists the way that some foolishly believed that Islam was a natural opponent, rather than a partner, of communism. In doing so, they ignore much of history, including the vital role communists played in spreading and supporting Islamic terrorism, and the Marxist-Islamist riots taking place in major cities now.
Including in Minneapolis.
That is why the return of United in Hate is badly needed. The book’s vital dive into the bloody murk of communist brutality and evil, and the ideological underpinnings of Islamic mass murder, is supplemented by a new section of Oct 7 which chillingly

The way of the Lord is a refuge for the righteous, but it is the ruin of those who do evil. – Proverbs 10:29
In the book 1984, they were constantly at war so they always had someone to hate. The Left depends on that.
America is everything they resent and are jealous of. Its perfect imperfection must be shattered and torn apart so that everyone can see once and for all that their way is the only right one.
This is an excellent article from one of conservatives best writers. Well worth your time to finish at the link!

I hear Second Amendment fanatics insisting that Alex Pretti had every right to be carrying a weapon in Minneapolis. The most determined Second Amendment advocate I have known, the late retired Marine Captain Bob Thornton, told me, “Don’t ever carry a weapon where you think there might be trouble. In fact,” he went on, “don’t even go anywhere you think there might be trouble.”
[Boy, how I miss him.] I can’t imagine how any sane person would think the United States Constitution entitles them to carry a weapon into a fight with armed law enforcement officers, and not expect bad consequences. Like Bob said, just don’t ever do it.

Thought I heard something about the United States Congress sending $40 million taxpayer dollars to the Taliban every month, so, outraged, I looked it up. That is not correct. The United States Congress has been sending $40 million dollars to the Taliban EVERY WEEK, according to NEWSWEEK.
That was certainly news to me. Apparently it’s a holdover from the Biden Administration, when Sock Puppet Joe surrendered to the Taliban $85,000,000,000 [that’s billion] in top-of-the-line American military equipment, vehicles, aircraft and weapons. Just turned around and abandoned it, on the advice of Chairman Mark [“I need to understand why I have white rage”] Milley of the Joint Chiefs.
Evidently that wasn’t enough for the Democrats, so they wrote into the law that the Taliban continue to get $40 million each week. That’s in appreciation for killing so many of our American and allied troops.

Forbes reports that Ilhan Omar and her husband have acquired $30 million by operating an investment firm that has no clients, no investments, no money management, no deals and no work. Forbes says it is an illegal international money laundering enterprise.
Surprised?

Info I picked up from Jeff Childers in Coffee & Covid is that Alex Pretti was fired from the Veterans Administration for cause six months ago, is unemployable as a nurse, and has had no income for six months besides his pay as a professional agitator. Haven’t seen confirmation of this in Big News Media yet, and probably never will.

For those expressing astonishment at Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard showing up at the FBI raid on Fulton County election records facility: Primary intelligence agencies under the DNI umbrella of 17 Intelligence Community are FBI, CIA, NSA and DIA. Note I list first the bureau.

Greenfield is without question one of the leading writers of our time. His prose has stiffened a bit since Oct 7, although that’s not necessarily obvious in this piece. He’s pissed, though. I can tell.
As Glazov writes in United in Hate, radicals “gravitate toward genocide because believers consider themselves higher life forms, their inferiors become not only expendable but necessary waste... this is where the Western Left and militant Islam (like the western Left and Communism) intersect: human life must be sacrificed for the sake of the idea.”
The pursuit of the ‘idea’ killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. Just as it licensed the murder of thousands in Tehran..........
