One challenged me to provide a single example of a leftist who opposed Muslim democracy.

So why does the left hate democracy in the Muslim world? The reason is simple. Muslims are socially conservative and generally want a greater role for Islam in their private and public lives. Consequently Muslim democracies are likely to be more conservative socially than they are when secular despots rule them. The left fears Muslim democracy because it is terrified of Muslim values, especially sharia or Muslim holy law. Feminists and gays are not likely to fare very well under Muslim holy law.

I don’t disagree with D'Souza as it regards the relatively “big thinkers” of the left, but there’s only about three of those.

Most liberals simply hate democracy because they equate democracy with global US dominance. They recognize that freedom is an American export, and they don’t want others to buy any American concepts.

They would never give up their own democratic rights, of course, but they have no imperative to share it with the various little brownish people of the world. Those non-ivyleague educated people will do better under the wise forced liberal tutelage in the inevitable global marxist state.

In addition, every liberal agrees that bad news for America is good news for their cause.

It’s actually fairly simple...

The left does not believe in self-government. They believe we are all stupid hayseeds and not NEARLY as refined, insightful, educated or as good as they are. They truly believe that THEY are totally entitled to be in charge because they are so much better than the rest of us.

Yup. Rulership by the elite and the rest of us bowing to their greater knowledge of what is “right”.

I can guarantee this- IF we ever allow them to gain what they are after, we will NEVER hear about global warming or the “chillll-DRUN” again. And those who imagine that, as loyal demonRATs, they will have it better than the rest of us? Think again...(or maybe for the first time).

Over the years the Left has made progress towards their totalitarian agenda, but yet to have success in toppling our system as planned.

The Clinton’s were the start of their “surge”, but as often happens with the Left, they themselves blew their own plans out the window. They cannot get it through their heads this is a Republic in which the people (self rule) are in charge no matter how inept the Left regards the people. Actually the inept are the Left.

It’s tiring to have those people around. It isn’t entertaining anymore.
