Still, you cannot deny it, the fear of a “RACISM” accusation is what unites the left and right in a common lunacy! RACISM FOREVER! WOO, HOO!

There is more than the usual mau-mauing using the race card.Many pretty solid types such as Ralph Peters go nuts if there is any imputation that there is a systemic problem with Islam and that it represents at least an adversarial threat of not an existential one. What is it that causes this visceral reaction and produces cries of Nazi and other abuse if this topic comes up? Why are so many fairly center right types so defensive about Islam? Five years ago there was similar reactions on this board anytime the problem with mass illegal immigration was raised. That has pretty much disappeared here but I wonder if the same nerve is being hit about this topic. So many who are center right have absorbed so much cultural Marxism in ways they don't even begin to know while in schools or government service. Liberal death wish thinking, white guilt ideology, and post modern nihilism disguised as multiculturalism have been indoctrinated to so many through so many fora that they have had a major impact on how even professional soldiers think about potential or actual enemies. The shorthand for this is ‘Political Correctness will kill us , literally not figuratively.
