The Great Right Wing Divide on Afghanistan

Fascinating.  During the Vietnam war, the right wanted more troops, aggressive US action, and clear victory.  The left were anti-war, draft evaders, and wanted our troops to come home.

After 9-11, Afghanistan and Iraq started the same way.  The right was gung-ho to take care of business in both places.  The left was more reticent.  The broader middle generally supported our revenge.

Today we see a different picture – a reversal from the last 50 years.  There are significant numbers of my conservative friends who believe we should not be in Afghanistan any more.  Even conservative George Will has expressed this sentiment.  Not that we want to abrogate victory.  It is because our Commander and Chief believes in fuzzing up the concept of victory.  Our presence no longer has a clear purpose under our appeaser in chief.

Ironically, it seems that the liberals are taking up the banner to exert our influence in Afghanistan by buddying up with the Taliban to fight al Qaeda.  Yup, that’ll work.  What a waste of lives.

Sure, there are those on the right who continue to support the fight.  But increasing numbers of my cohorts are seeing the handwriting on the wall and see the futility - at least during the next three years.

We will not have a clear mission in the “war on Islamic supremacy” until our leaders understand the enemy.  As long as we don’t understand what we are defending against, we will continue to flounder, wasting lives, resources and time.

What Left, White Supremacists, Muslims Have in Common

The mainstream media portrays the shooting by the racist at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum as the work of a "right winger." Upon first blush, it appears that white supremacist was one of those fanatical far right wingers - the kind that Janet Napolitano warned us about a couple of months ago. That's the story line the left spins.

Upon more thoughtful consideration the facts are much different. Break down the components of belief systems clouded by popular labels and just the opposite is true.

The belief systems are:

The Left, etc........................The Right
* Authoritarian/dictatorial rule...* Self determination
* Anarchy............................* Rule of law
* Intolerance........................* Tolerance
* Anti-Semitism (anti-Zionism)...* Zionism

James W. von Brunn, the anti-Semetic murderer, fits the stereotypes of left wing liberals and Muslims much better than that of "far right fanatic."

von Brunn, the left, and Muslims (here referring to their legal system of Sharia law) thrive on authoritarian, top-down rule while the right thrives on "bottom-up" consensus building representative government. While von Brunn may have hated our government and appeared to be an anarchist, at the core he was an authoritarian fascist - the opposite of an anarchist.

von Brunn, the left, and Muslims tend toward extra-legal, radical "take the law into their own hands"-type actions instead of respecting the rule of law. The lefts' passivity toward enforcing our immigration laws is one example. Muslim's propensity to terror and mayhem is another.

von Brunn, the left, and Muslims are known for their intolerance and inflexible thinking while the right is known for tolerance and the rights of individuals. The left is generally intolerant of captialism, religion (except Islam), and individual liberty; Muslims hate the west because of our liberties and rights.

von Brunn, the left, and Muslims are all to some degree anti-Semetic. The left wants to squeeze Israel into tolerating its Muslim neighbors who have promised Israels' destruction. Muslims are the essence of Jew-haters, just like von Brunn. Obama's anti-Israel views are becoming more obvious. And not surprisingly after sitting at the knee of radical anti-Semite Rev. Wright for 20 years. In a recent interview the Reverand said he hasn't spoken to Obama since he became president.

"Them Jews ain't going to let him talk to me. I told my baby daughter that he'll talk to me in five years when he's a lame duck, or in eight years when he's out of office." That comment can easily be classified as anti-Semitic. And this is not just a recent or isolated gaff.

In short, von Brunn is a leftist. He shares the primary components of the leftist belief system: authoritarianism, radicalism, intolerance, and Jew-hating.

Most main-stream media prefer to paint the opposite picture. And many Americans, and inexplicably many Jews, follow along with this lie.
