I want to point out that I respect Dinesh D'Sousza as an author. I have read three of his prior books and they are first rate offerings. Nobody should mistake D'Souza with the Lew Rockwell or Pat Buchanan crowd. His dissent is in the vein of Stephen Schwartz and should be handled differently.
The notion that Muslims are enraged because of American pop- culture has been a staple of the Michael Savage show. Yet what Muslims say for public consumption and do in the privacy of their own homes are seperate. The notion of blood crazed Jihadis partying at a topless bar the night before 9-11 is not unfamiliar to people with an interest in the events. This also has to do with relaxing the laws before one becomes a martyr.
D'Souza gets the role of the far left in the Islamo-Commie Axis half right. The commie left and Jihadis have much in common. They have worked together to topple the Shah and then the mullahs offed the commies. A broken clock is correct twice a day. Both Commies and Jihadis seek global hegemony and Utopia in this world. Commies and Jihadis divide the world into the house of war and peace. Both have a history of subversion and terror is seeking hegemony and their Utopia. Both are internationalist
movements and both attempt to erase nationalism. VS Naipul describes the reality of Islam as a form of colonialism where only some imagined Arab ancestor and the sands of Arabia are sacred.
The role of the Commie left has been to Disneyfy the realities of Islamic history and cuture. Moreover, the far left nutures every grievence, no matter how absurd and inane. One can easily find Lynne Stewart or Ron "Commie" er Kuby preparing their defense in court. One will find Noam Chimpanzee or the thrice fired Commie joke from DePaul preparing their talking points. The Commies have placed Muslims atop their Marcuse based victims pyramid. How a colonial people with 1400 years of brutality became oppressed remains a mystery. Then again how college professors are paid to espouse melanin theory and get jobs right after walking out of jail on terrorism charges speaks vollumes about the Marxist gulag or old Bolshevik network in higher education.
D'Souza is not 100% wrong in that the ultimate enemy are Marxist left. One can not deal with the threat of Jihadism with far left types undermining every step. Nor was the Cold War myths about American leftists true. There were Commie spies in America
and plenty of front groups. The American Communist party was run by the Soviets. Hiss and the Rosenbergs were guilty beyond doubt. Members of the Peace movement did meet with Communists and serve in their propoganda campaigns.
The Cold War mistakes are all the more reason that domestic spying and trials are needed. The notion of privacy has never covered criminal acts such as treason. Moreover, being a Communist or a Jihadi or a member of front organizations itself meets the standard of probable cause.
The government should place people who violate laws on trial. Who at Code Pink gave the instruction to give funds to our enemies in Falujah. The penalty should either be death or denaturalization and deportation to North Korea. Jihadis punishments should be proportional to the crime. The key mistake of the cold war was not placing
commies on trial for their actions. This failure has allowed a myth of innocent victims of a cruel government to flourish. The reality is Communists are part of a genocidal movement that seeks the violent demise of the US government. Nor does the Fisrt Amendment cover treason or sedition.
The Government can aid itself by eliminating all student loans for all majors that do not lead to probable employment. The loans and research grants should be eliminated for all Universities that do not reformulate the Liberal Arts base to incude 24 business credits. If you want to be a sociology major you will do it on your own dime.
D'Souza correctly points out the dangers of the far left. He jumps to the wrong conclusions about the future of our country. Most Muslims in this country are not blood thirsty Jihadis. We need to cut off all foreign money going to US religious institutions and lobbying groups. This will allow men like Stephen Schwartz to reclaim the mosques from the jihadis. We need to reduce the number of Muslim immigrants.
Let CAIR and American Universities find domestic donors to fund their messages. The result will probably be the creation of subsidiaries of foreign firms trying to circumvent the law.

The jihadi's aren't "upset" because of the decadent Left. Quite the opposite. The vultures smell rotting flesh... and its' time to start picking at the corpse that Western Civ has become, thanks to the "libertine" aka "liberal" hollowing out of our culture performed by the Left.
The last time the Moslem's smelled this level of decay, Rome lay rotting on it's northern border...
I realize that this was only a small part of your post but being a sociology major who paid back his student loans while in the military, I don't agree with censoring which majors qualify for student loans.
We are on the same page when it comes to reclaiming mosques and reducing Muslim immigration.
I see Jihadist and commies working together only as a matter of convenience. The first goal is to eliminate democracy and freedom but after that they will turn on each other as they are incompatible.
Your posts always require a lot of thought...which is why I stop here.
I agree that a major crackdown on terrorist sympathizers should happen.
You mentioned Code Pink. Not only should the one responsible for funneling money to Falujah be imprisoned, but the group should be labeled a terror organization and disbanded.

Here is the rationale for censoring what majors get loans. In your day and mine there were Marxists. However, there was not the total domination of departments that exist today.
In order to defeat the enemy you have to drain the swamp. Fewer plum social Social Science Professorships means less influence. Weakening big media programs is underway. Either the Networks adapt or they become irrelevant.

It's a liberal L vs R issue because you have made it one. The Left has done nothing but undermine our nation since 9/11. Your sense of "justice" has undone all "wisdom". Result: IGNORANCE.
Our country will eventually be conquered due to an "excess" of its' first principle. And the Left leads that charge.
...throwing this war out of spite for Bush's election did nothing to endear the Left in my heart, ducky.

It may be that I function on a higher plane than you presume. However, keep inflating your opinion of yourself. This only inflates how far you fall when I decide to use my caustic wit.
Hold the opinions on pornography for Thursday.
I will stick with Robert Bork on this issue.
We need to reduce the number of Muslim immigrants.
It's extremely hard to vet Muslim immigrants. Taqiyya, you know.
Farmer,

I agree.
Off to FPM to read that article.
Ducky,
As a whole Americans are a mix of Left and Right. However, only the extremists are ever heard.
Americans are alternatively held out to be lazier than the rest of the world and also too hard working.
However, Americans are usually held out to be ignorant, uncreative and unintelligent. Our successes are credited to our wealth. Therein lies the ignorance of much of the world. As much as they obsess over our country they still dont understand us because of their inbred jealousy.
No other country has contributed so much to every field of science and the arts as the US.
As far as America declining, the world will always obsess over the issue, because we are at the top of the heap. As of this time there is no real evidence of any decline. Vietnam was followed up by the Reagan revolution. Even if the Islamist and Leftwing alliance prevails in Iraq we will still prosper.
Every generation believes that it is on the verge of apocalypse. We all remember the Cold War and the threat of nuclear annihilation. Its nothing new.

Eventually the Jihadis will overstep. Maybe they will mess with China or India but these types always implode.

Japan is an ally
China is counting the Cash and just needs to put Hillary in power.
Russia is evolving into a strongman situation, someone we can do business with.
Yes Robeson uses the N word 32 times. I guess this is okay for Stalanist. I was appalled at how familiar my parents were with this work. They had obviously either saw the play on stage or the film several times.
When you are on the far left it is okay to use slurs.
Japan???
Beak, I don't see the connection between Communists and radical Muslims. Both are sworn enemies toward one another. It makes me wish that Russia would form an alliance with us and help us defeat radical Islam altogether, but that alliance will take years and years to develop, and so far, the Russians just haven't got it yet - but, then again, neither do we, thanks to cold-war thinking, and a difficult to get rid of misunderstanding of the Russians altogether.
Last but not least anyone that tries telling me that the Russians are no longer communists needs to go back to school.
Duck,
I agree that we are beconing more of a debtor nation.
I don't see Japan uniting with China, however.
Except that our assets dwarf our liabilities by a clear 5:1 ratio.
The problem isn't that America is in debt. The problem is that America isn't in enough debt.
Ducky,
I grew up in NY and I cant imagine the city without the World Trade Center. I havent been back to the city since then and I absolutely dread seeing the skyline without it.
If you dont want to worry about Islamic terrorism then you dont have to. Thats your choice...
It's naked time!
