“The left is gambling that it can take America past its tipping point into radical leftism before Islam becomes too great a threat…”

When I was young and naive (give or take a decade ago), thinking Marxists could somehow still be persuaded by reason, I thought it might help to point out their double standards to them, to wedge them out of their hypocrisy. I used to say, “You justify suicide-terrorism against Israel on the grounds that it was born in the Original Sin of stealing land. Since you believe this about the United States of America also, why is it you don’t support American Indian suicide-terrorists?” I got the usual evasions and no real answers, let alone working a change in my adversaries’–ahem–thinking.

Over the years I realized that was the wrong question, even without the motives I’d had for asking it. The answer is they don’t support American Indian suicide-terrorists because there aren’t any. The proper question is whether they’d support them in theory, and here the answer is not only a clear “Yes,” it’s a “Yes” verified by facts not theory: The Muslim suicide-terrorists fill the role the Marxists would love to see American Indians take but which the latter don’t (because suicide-terrorism is an Islamic speciality, and the American Indians in the U.S. of A. don’t see a hope in taking upon the country by themselves again). Fake-Indian Ward Churchill was the most forthright in his evocation of the view that the Muslims are the proxy avengers for Whitey’s “Original Sin,” but all Progressive Leftists believe so even if they aren’t as honest about it.

Yes, yes, I know: It’s all a pretext, and when a Marxist state like the old U.S.S.R. trampled upon native peoples’ rights in a gargantuan feast of expansionism and settlement, the Hard Left didn’t and still doesn’t have a word to say about that. Still, even a hypocritical aggressor needs a justification, if only to himself, for his attacks on the designated enemy, and this is how it works. While it is clear the Muslims will devour their useful idiot allies once successful, the Marxist Left cannot do without them as the generators of the violence they need to serve as their platform for grabbing more power, and so this unholy alliance is sealed even if the moth knows it’s dealing with a flame. For their part, the Muslims need the Left’s rhetoric in which to couch their imperialist aggression, which in raw form would set the entire infidel world against them.

“I think we need to start teaching classes on recognizing propaganda”

There is a very good case study available to us right now: Consider the way Hillary Clinton bent over backwards to conceal the fact that Benghazi involved terrorism ( per Clinton, it was a “spontaneous reaction” to that “despicable video which we had NOTHING to with!”). Now compare that to her repeated and emphatically characterizing the Algerian kidnapping incident this week as TERRORISM!

Question for Rose’s “Propaganda 101” class: What accounts for the difference in Ms. Clinton’s statements?

Evil alliances have always needed cannonfodder for their own purposes. If they find themselves with a bomb strapped on em and sent out to die for the cause, with the trigger held by the guy miles away who sent him…. well that’s their own fault.

It’s not possible to have evil without human agents doing most of the work.

Partially, the reason why the Left allies itself with Islamic terrorists isn’t political but ideological. The Left believes women and other minorities should be kept controlled, same with blacks, Jews, and white gun armed Republicans. The Islamic terrorists believe the same, except their groups are a bit different in terms and how they control them, different as well. They stone homosexuals, whereas the Left makes homosexuals afraid, while on the other hand, building up a black contingency in the urban cities.

They used to teach that in schools as logical fallacies. I think because of the Nazis and commies American schools taught about propaganda and logical fallacies in the post war period.

“I think we need to start teaching classes on recognizing propaganda”

Good idea.

Children aren’t being taught today. They’re being indoctrinated. They’re being fed the kool-aid in elementary school and even kindergarten. Six yr old boys, playing cowboys and indians or cops and robbers with fingers pointed as if holding a gun are being suspended.
