It's unfortunate that this has to be a discussion about hate – unfortunate because hatred is divisive, destructive, and at the very least unpleasant. It has never been totally gone from us, and now it is in the process of overwhelming an entire side in our political debate.
During times of war between countries, hatred has always had its way to one degree or another. Many people from the U.S. and other allied countries hated Germany and Japan during WWII. The converse was true as well. During the current war against radical Islam, it is clear we are hated, and many of us return that toward the ideas of jihad. That's not surprising.
What is surprising has been the hatred, and the degree of it, from the left-leaning leaders and citizenry of our own country toward their own domestic political and social opponents. That's we. What is hated is quite countable: Christianity. Class, wealth, and accomplishment. Conservatives. The GOP. America as founded. These all have been targets of left-wing hate. But now it's also the average U.S. citizen who does not walk in lockstep with the left – and finally, any person, even those who lean left, who does not 100% agree with the new Inquisition.
Our universities have been filled with professors for decades that have exhibited hatred toward traditional Christianity. Constant references to how uptight, hypocritical, stupid, and just plain wrong Christians can be have been a staple in their classes for years. It's been a mark of TV sitcoms, as well as movies, for the same amount of time. The crowning achievement of this campaign is the new discovery that 65% of Democrats believe, against all evidence, that Christianity is more violent and filled with hate than Islam.

That left is not just allied with radical Islam ....the left has become radical Islam....the left has become it own religion of irrational hate
This is a very good piece of work on the problem we have with the education arm of country. The points are good, and the assessments are well-founded.
However, I think the writer’s temptation to create some alliterative title is misplaced. Handmaidens of academia are not the problems - there are no ‘handmaidens’. These people doing this are hierarchically high up on the food chain and they are ideologically corrupt. No, not handmaidens......proctors, instructors, masters, and scholars, each and every one abusing their charge.
Very well said
The Left is using Islam as a tool to destroy Western Civ.
It doesn’t really have any regard for it at the higher levels.
Islam is just a tool and its adherents will go under the bus (or into the camps) when their usefulness is ended.
Assuming, of course, the Elites do lose their grip on the reins (which is what usually happens...).
Carry arms, let them burn in their hatreds.
The derision heaped upon southern Christians decades ago, for abstaining from alcohol, for resisting loose morality, for objecting to revealing clothing fashions, well, it seems almost quaint in the face of the budding alliance of the formerly derisive left with Islam, which beheads or stones to death people accused of violating their social and moral norms. How can any reasonable person on the left rectify this situation? The answer is, they can’t, ergo there are no reasonable people left, on the left.
What the writer of this screed either doesn’t understand or fails to acknowledge, is that under certain circumstances HATRED IS A VIRTUE!
Leftists are a criminal underclass too large to safely imprison. We don’t have the space available to contain them under guard
