And the strange thing is that, although the left certainly loved Stalin, and wanted to live in the perfect Communist state of the future, they obviously don't love Islamic fundamentalists and wouldn't want to live under Islamic law. The only possible explanation for their blind irrationality in this instance is that they hate Jews and Americans so much that they prefer to back a bunch of crazy religious fanatics and woman haters--the kind of people they would normally deplore.

If it was down to jews, americans and the taliban, the left would take the taliban. The communists and the fundamentalist islamists are our enemies. Fine. Clear enough. The left are our traitors, and I hate them the worse.

I think it is a little simpler than that, and a little more desperate. The left invested their entire intellectual currency in the superiority of Socialism and Communism, and the evil of Capitalism and America. To admit that capitalism and America are superior leaves them intellectually bankrupt. The one thing they can not do is admit that they were wrong. To admit that would be to admit that their entire life was a sham and a disgrace, and that they have lied and cheated and stolen for nothing. It would be to admit the truth, that they are morally bankrupt.

They cannot do this, so they grab at any little thing, any little straw adrift on the tide to try to show that America is evil. It is their ownly way to avoid total meltdown of their philosophy of existance, the only way for them to lie to themselves that they were "doing the right thing".

Don't be so sure about this. The further to the left you get, the less true this is. Check into what Ramsey Clark is into and what he says about Islam nowadays, for example.

What a strange alliance, the Left who would hate their neighbors and acquaintances (I hesitate to make any assertion that they might form a friendship with anybody) to the degree they would surrender their own freedom or look away willfully as others were trapped in intolerable situations. And the radical Islamic fundamentalists, who have foresworn any concept of mercy, or compassion, or simple human civility, to pursue their own warped concept of justice and religious transfiguration.

Two bunches of crazies who have found each other. The Left will continue to enable the plunderers of this world, and the plunderers will continue to make the Left into their first victims. Does this speak of some strange imbalance of brain chemistry? And could we ever find an antidote for these poisonous notions?

More and more, I sense that leftist views -- socialism, feminism, multi-culturism, etc. -- are really nothing more than the facade for a deeper seated anti-Americanism.

As much as the left might love socialism, they hate America (and its success) even more.

I do not restrict this view as applying only to Eurotrash. The American left is animated by anti-Americanism, as well.
