There’s no reason why the left would like radical Islam either. Hatred towards and the hanging of gays, the severest forms of repression of women, absolute prohibitions on freedom of speech, rule by theocracy.

I examine, in my mind, the repression of blacks in our history, including the hangings and burnings and lynchings, and I reflect on all the honor killings of women in theocratic Islamic countries. Many of these killings are just as horrific. I look at the beatings of women by enforcers who demand they be under the constant control of designated men in their households.

It is clear to me that leftists of any sort, if they have any principled consistency in their stands, must be utterly opposed to this. Yet they are not.

What is driving this? Can it be explained entirely, and simply, by self hate? By hatred toward their own Western Civ? By hatred for their own values; and therefore they look favorably towards anything that opposes it?

If you ever watched the video of Yuri the Soviet defector I posted up a few weeks ago, you would be familiar with the progress of the Left when the Soviets created them.

Essentially I asked myself that question, Mike, and while there were a couple of psychological and other behavioral explanations, the one I settled on recently is a little more simple. In essence, the Left were created as tools by the Soviets to destabilize the West. When the Soviet Union fell, their plans fell with them. Originally they had planned on taking power after the Left had weakened the West from the inside out, and then executing the useful idiots and journalists and anyone else naive enough to believe that they would join in the creation of a perfect Utopia.

Anyways, when the Soviets went away, the Left were left without a master. So they tried to carry on their duties as best they could without guidance from their creators. This means that they automatically recognize allies in their quest to fight against the nation that they were created to fight. They are lost tools in search of a higher purpose and they regain some of that lost purpose when they ally themselves with Chavez, Syria, Iran, or the Islamic Jihad. The principles of liberty and human justice are simply surface programming designed to give the tools the correct exterior look.

The Prime Directive was always to weaken and destabilize the United States and its Constitution. Regardless of anything else, if they can see a useful tool, weapon, or ally that could help them to do so, everything else becomes secondary.

This is understandable. For what other purpose can the Left cement themselves to, given their beliefs in nihilism and their feelings of abandonment at the fall of the Soviet Empire?

The Kos folks, however, seem to be trying to achieve power on their own. Trying to become independent from their Soviet creators?
