Imagine if the left spent as much time, money, and energy having fundraisers to help the children and oppressed of Iraq as they have put into bashing President Bush!

Hmmmmmmm. No wonder the left is balking at Pipes' appointment to a Presidential commission on Middle East peace.

Pipes has their number. And isn't shy about calling them what they are...

Looks like the 'tone' is getting ready to change in D.C., just in time for election season.

Hardly earth-shaking news. After all I would expect no less from the followers of a philosophy that murdered over 100 million people.

Not a lot left to say.

It's all true.

The real reason: They are all motivated, and in many cases possesed, by their spiritual father the Devil. Oh, you don't think Satan can be a human's father?

John 8
43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.

Pipes is a most brilliant scholar and articulates the facts in a clear and concise manner. I love him.

Truth is a wonderful thing. Has Mr. Pipes written any more good articles like this one from the first days of the war in Iraq?

Interesting. Though I am a rationalist and don't believe in a personal Devil or demonic posession, somehow I think this comes closer to the truth than the other comments so far.

These people are bully worshippers and death worshippers.

Orwell wrote of bully worship quite a bit in his journalism as being the main religion of the 20th century.

Orwell also used the term "Death Worship" in his book 1984 as the Eastasian version of "Ingsoc" (English Socialism) that Winston Smith suffered under in his book.

Well, it's not at all like 1984, which is really a burlesque of the Stalinism of his own time, but the terminology holds.

All Pipes says is true, but he doesn't make that final leap.

Leftism is death worship.

The Left and Islamic terror are one and the same - the alliances were created in the serpentine minds of the KGB.

Absolutely!

The left-wing are terrorist-sympathizers and their leadership are complicit in the attacks on America.

Destroy Evil Wherever You May Find It.

NEVER NEGOTIATE WITH EVIL. KILL IT.
