Fascinating Analysis of Leftist Goals, August 13, 2006

Reviewer: N. Sincerity - See all my reviews

A former 1960s radical, Horowitz is well-acquainted with the Leftist mindset. In this book, he strives to explain the modern alliance between left wing progressivists and radical Islamofascists. He argues that this alliance is based on a common desire to destroy Western capitalism. Leftist sympathy with Islamofascist ideas makes no sense from an intellectual point of view, given that countries ruled by radical Islamists are among the most racist, sexist, theocratic states in the world today. However, Leftists have recognized that they can benefit politically from destructive terrorist attacks on the Western world. A West under attack can be made to turn on its leaders in fear and desperation (as they did in Spain after the Madrid train bombings). Only once people reject current government structures can the Left execute its anti-capitalist revolution and build a new reality that mirrors the Leftist view of utopia.

The complete and utter idealogical hypocrisy of the Islamofascist-Leftist alliance is distressing, but as Horowitz reminds us,

Leftists radicals truly believe the ends justify the means.

Just as Rush said the Democrats OWN DEFEAT!

The Democrats hope for our loss in Iraq.

A vote for a Democrat is a vote for the end of our Country and our way of life.

Maybe Dirty Harry should go over to Afghanistan, find Bin Laden, and then formally surrender to him. I'm sure his moonbat constituents would love him for doing that, and would elect him to a lifetime Senate seat.

If the American people are as averse to taking casualties in war as this generation seems to be, there is no hope for ever defeating militant Islam on it's march to world domination.

Better start looking for good buys on burkhas and Fezes folks, because we're gonna need them after the Democrats surrender unconditionally and the Mullahs take over.

Very profound words.

In Nov. we will have 'GOP is no different from the Democrats' group yapping how it is better to vote third party and send a 'message' to the GOP.

We lost alot of close elections last Nov. because of the constant whining on how 'bad' the GOP was and now this is what we got instead.

If the GOP doesn’t react properly to this, Reid’s words won’t only be words.

I think I have admired McCain since he sang “Bomb, Bomb Iran” on the Beach Boy famous song.

If Bush could sing either, could be great !!!

BOMB, BOMB IRAN

Gee harry....do you think maybe that the enemy might be encouraged by your words and step up their terrorist activities...and kill more American’s....do you think maybe you can get some TV time on the terrorist networks in the middle east. Ever hear the saying in WWII “Loose lips, sink ships”??

You need to come with me this morning out to DFW and look those young and not so young American troopers climbing off the airplane for a two week R & R and tell them the “war is lost”!! They would correctly label you as a “traitor” and shun you as the despicable piece of human garbage you are.

harry, my contempt for you and your ilk is immeasurable as you are directly responsible for spilling brave young Americans blood and the American people should hold you to account.

Will trumps wealth every time... The Democrats seek short term political gain at the expense of national security... Any attack on the U.S. from this moment forward will be a result of Reid’s action in showing the terrorists that they can break us without a real military fight... the casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan are significant in that they show our will and now, for the Democrats at least, our breaking point..

In the 2006 elections the 5th column Muslim community in America turned out for the democraps. Reid is living proof of what a pandering dirty bastard politician will do on behalf of terrorists as long as they are there with the money and the votes.

"....triggering an angry backlash by Republicans ...."

Where?? WHAT " Angry Backlash " ??

Just where the French-Trench has BEEN the Republicans' " Angry Backlash " over all past, negative Demo-Rats Attacks for the last Weeks; MONTHS!

Sometimes I think I am madder at CARL ROVE & the GOP for their Silence and Their not placing in line our own RINOS, then I am over any of Harry Reid's or Pelosi's statements! (IF we had someone on our side with Reid's & Peoplsi's DRIVE-"WE'd" be the ones with all the Press Coverage and all the Sound bites!! or do we have Republicans presently fighting out there ? and the media is not just covering it?!)

Reid & Company are ONLY going to get as much Traction & Attention as the Conservative/Republicans in Office ALLOW them to get!

P.S.- If I hear any other future Conservative candidate even mutter the phrase, " New Tone..." I will take a vacation til after 08' and let the rabble have their way.
