Islamist or Progressive? It's getting hard to tell the Difference

As we are inundated with “it’s the gun” misdirection following last weekend’s terror attack in Orlando, let’s look at what has recently come to pass on the left for acceptable political action. After all, what leftists hate to admit is that before one of their own engages in violence, whether on a street in Chicago, or at a Republican campaign event, or a nightclub in Orlando, myriad other deviations from psychological-normal must have had to occur. Well-adjusted, intellectual people do not default to violence to achieve their goals.

It’s hard to know where to start, but let’s start with an interesting confluence. The Orlando shooter was both a radicalized Muslim and a Democrat. Has anyone else noticed that it is getting increasingly difficult to tell the difference between the two in terms of methods and tactics in pursuit of their ideological goals? Perhaps it is not coincidental that leftists, who are practiced apologists for militant, violent Islamism, appear to have become increasingly open to the use of violence by their own street-level followers in advancement of their agenda of dismantling this country and its founding principles. That is, they are increasingly using violence as a tool to subvert our incompatible American culture in order to implant their own. Sound familiar to anyone aware of radical Islam? Have you also noticed how leftist members of academia, and even some politicians, are more comfortable musing about how their political opponents deserve to be tortured or killed for rejecting the goals of these fascists, who would murder them for disagreeing?

Demoncrats - members of the Party of Islam.

To progressives, Islamists are fellow-traveling comrades who share with them a hatred for capitalism, individualism/responsibility, Israel/Judaism, and Christianity.

To Islamists, progressives are useful idiots.

Islamic democrats are now going after the gay democrats. This s an internal war, but a dangerous one. It shows that Islam is not afraid to go up against the shining foundation of the progressive movement with is the homosexual movement. Either the gays figure out that Islam is not their friend, or they will be destroyed by Islam. Time for the gays to wake up

[veracious]

Agreed.

[Cubs Fan]

Blaming the gun for this, instead of Islam, is like blaming the gas for Jews being exterminated, instead of Nazi ideology.

Globally, there is a marxist- muslim coalition to bring down the west.
That is what gave us nObama.

That is what is bringing on the re-population of wealthy western Christian Europe.
