The resurgence of left-wing extremism

Well, DHS isn’t going to be issuing alerts about it any time soon. But it’s here: the resurgence of left-wing extremism.

* Data point - MoveOn.org wailing about torture and indulging in Cheney Derangement Syndrome:

* Data point - Hillary cackles at serious questions about the effectiveness of enhanced interrogation.

* Data point - House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ups pressure for ‘truth’ panel on torture

* Data point - Soros acolyte Rosa Brooks, al Qaeda apologist and military-basher, now ensconced at the Pentagon.

* Data point - Radical Yale Law School Dean Harold Koh’s Senate confirmation hearing for a key State Department legal adviser slot set for next Tuesday.

* Data point - Department of Haplessness and Stupidity Secretary Janet Napolitano — fresh from pooh-poohing terrorism and illegal border-crossings, botching 9/11 history and issuing hit jobs on limited government conservatives and veterans — is now pushing for repeal of Real ID Act:

We have lost our war footing. Welcome back to the Sesame Street school of national security. Feel safer? Me neither.

Bad judgement chickens come home to roost. Feel free to expand on her date points -- there is a lot of material out there.

the media has been actively radicalizing liberals.

the radicalization process used to be slow, haphazard.

Now there is an industry set up purely to radicalize liberals into activist leftists.

BDS was a fully intentional radicalization process.

You think the anger & outrage on the media faces is real? Not at all. It's has the single aim of radicalization. There is a Christian video which shows a secret video of a marylyn manson concert where the act was to shout seething hatred of christian conservatives, and it was all about radicalization of the audience.

the same thing is going on right now in the media

Now there is an industry set up purely to radicalize liberals into activist leftists.

During the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln suspended habeas corpus and sent Gen. Ambrose Burnside to arrest and detain Northern congressmen and newspapermen that had Confederate sympathies.

Yet history treats Lincoln kindly: the detainees were freed and basic liberties were restored after the war.

During WW2, FDR rounded up and hundreds of thousands of Americans of Japanese descent and held them in internment camps for the duration of the war.

Yet history treats FDR kindly: basic liberties were restored after the war and reparations were eventually paid to the internees.

After 9/11, George W. Bush did NOTHING to stop the American Left from subverting and undermining our war effort against the world-wide Islamonazi threat.

He agreed when Democrat hack Joe Wilson published a lying op-ed in the NYT about the 'nonexistent' Iraqi uranium connection in Niger.
He did nothing to punish leakers of highly classified national security information and newspaper editors that splashed such info on their front page.
He did nothing to silence leftist liars like Michael Moore who made phony 'documentaries' that spewed enemy propaganda and portrayed our troops as baby killers.

And his leftist successor is seeing to it that his reputation will remain forever tarnished, and the progress that he made in keeping America safe is reversed.

My biggest fear is that it will take a major American city being vaporized in a nuclear explosion in order for us to re-learn the lesson that internal enemies need to be dealt with as seriously as external ones. For this reason, history will not treat GWB kindly.

“his leftist successor is seeing to it that his reputation will remain forever tarnished, and the progress that he made in keeping America safe is reversed”

.. and keeping America safe will forever be associated with illegality, even for future presidents, who might fear doing the right thing. This administration is genuinely against America.
