#1 harboring as much hatred for our heritage of freedom and chaotic way of life as Sayyid Qtub and his intellectual heir, the late Osama bin Laden

Not necessarily correct. Our guys/gals interviewed hundreds of AQ and Taliban...and they would state to us that they hated what could be paraphrased as our hollywood perversion...drug dealers...deviancy...that they saw in the movies.

And I am familiar with the writings (Milestones) of Sayyid Qtub and of his travels in the US. Qtub most closely related to the Southern Baptists...didn't hate them...rather enjoyed the Southern Baptist's joy in worship and especially enjoyed the Black Baptist Churches.

They hated the deviant lifestyle the US fronts to the world via TV and movies...and hated our support of Israel.

That said...only Bin Laden, amongst the AQ leadership, was interested in attacking the US in our own backyard...Zawahiri cautioned against it and has left us alone for the past 10 years...9/11 was the brainchild of one man, not a larger movement...initially...not sure now after the most recent disasters.

#3 moslems hate everything that isn't islam, and then if it isn't the correct kind of islam, they hate that.

everything else follows from that

#5 The reductive, totalizing ideology of the left has seeped into nearly every institution of American life, and dominates our culture and our politics.

The author inadvertently poses a provocative question...do conservatives have more in common with the left that hates us or the fundamentalist extremist Sunni?


#4 ^Correction "Moslems hate everything".

And what a load of bull this statement lays on the table. While g has a certain perspective...and I understand how g formed that perspective...I have found that I have more in common with the main line Shia (that does not hate me) than I do with the pagan left or the radical leftist NY Jew that absolutely hates me as a Southern Christian. Funny how that works...Israel has no greater friend than the conservative US Christian, yet Israel's cowardly cousins in NY city and Hollywood are our greatest foe.

I guess I concur with the article...our enemies are the ISIS ideologues that infiltrate the Sunni mosques with the literature of Wahab and Taymiyyah and the left that infiltrates the media with their deviancy and hatred of conservatives. It is a strange dangerous world that we live in.

#6  IIRC, the USA put up some kind of a fight against the 9/11 attackers and backers overseas. The significance of the Totalitarian Left (TL) is becoming clearer to Americans, at least those who aren't the TL's.
One response to the "Death to America" crowd could be "Mors hostibus"

#7 So now that we've formally lost can we do away with the TSA?

#8 Glenn Greenwald a few hours ago:
Liberals swooned emotionally all day yesterday for George W. Bush because they crave his War on Terror, but just want it unleashed domestically at their political opponents. Hearing Bush link 9/11 with 1/6, and compare his War on Terror with their new one, was ecstasy for them.
