"Everyone but the left seems to understand this. I've never seen a bigger group of people who are so sensitive to the rights of the jihadists and America's enemies."

This is because many of these liberals are also enemies of the United States, in that they are working to change the traditional way we live and govern ourselves. So what you have before you are different enemies joining forces for a common goal, the destruction of America as we know it.

The Leftists, in their blind drive for power, probably do not understand that even a mighty nation like the U.S. can eventually be brought down or heavily damaged by an enemy like al Quaida if we don't fight back with vigor. Hence, what they hope to see is the islamofascists do just enough damage to our country that a power shift will occur within, to their favor of course.

Exactly right....see this:

I had long wondered why people on the Left had the propensity to speak more positively about people who would slit their throats than they do about their own country, which affords them more freedom and opportunity than anywhere else. David Horowitz has answered that question thoroughly and convincingly in his Unholy Alliance. Where I felt bewildered and confused, I now feel crystal clear. Unholy Alliance is such a great book.

It begins with the leftist movements at the beginning of the 20th Century, and works its way up to the present day, exploring the anti-American attitude of these movements in detail. Horowitz shows that the enemies of the US back then are largely the same group today, operating under the same misperceptions, making the same mistakes, and pursuing the same impossible utopia.

Individual chapters are included on the Patriot Act (I was persuaded that it is a GOOD thing); the democratic flip-flop on Iraq once G.W. Bush implemented what they agreed with Clinton needed to be done; the driving components of the current anti-war movement; as well as chapters on individual personalities who are major spokespeople of the Left. Horowitz covers a lot of ground, and he covers it concisely and clearly. Unholy Alliance is richly informative without ever being boring or plodding.

This book is so illuminating that I simply cannot do justice to it here. I love people who reason so clearly that they help me get my own reasoning clear. Horowitz is just that type of person! In the terrain of mindless clichés (no-blood-for-oil, etc.), he is a breath of real fresh air.
