The enemy within ... America

I would like to share portions of an article by another blogger, The Vanishing American. His words reflect my feelings completely.

[snip] The leftish viewpoint is the default position, it seems, in the West these days. Maybe that is because the liberal viewpoint, including the right-liberal as well as the left-liberal ideology, is the dominant one; it permeates and pervades our whole culture. [snip]

So here we have a whole slew of blog commentary deploring the 'Nazi-like' Americans who want to put all the Moslems in cattle-cars, or at least this is what these hypnotized liberals believe. [snip]

... the leftist truly do live in a parallel universe, wherein the source of all evil is America, the West, Christians, and white people. In their bizarro world, minorities, whether religious, racial, or sexual, are always and everywhere the good guys, who can do no wrong, and who are the perpetual innocent victims of the evil Americans. This kind of thinking is not the thinking of a normal, healthy, mature human being. Yet it's the worldview of a distressingly large number of Americans.

It does not bode well for our future in America or the West that there are so many people who openly take the side of the enemy -- any enemy -- because they so despise their own country, culture, and heritage. In a war situation, I believe many of them would turn on their own countrymen, so twisted is their thinking, and so deficient are they in the normal human feelings of loyalty to their own.
And this is the scary part: there is no reaching them via debate or reason or education. They are more or less indoctrinated, or perhaps downright hypnotized. I've tried to open dialogue and debate with many such people. In a healthy world, the younger people are often more open-minded and willing to be reasoned with. Not these days. [snip]

The fear and distrust we need to be alarmed about in this country is not the fear that Jerry Klein and his pathetic ilk are warning us about. It's the fear and distrust that deranged liberals feel for their own country and their neighbors. That's the fear and distrust that is the mortal threat to us. Without the sympathy and help of our self-hating liberals, the Islamics would never have a chance.
-- Real fear and distrust by The Vanishing American

Jerry Klein is a radio talk show host who 'suggested that all Muslims in the United States should be identified with a crescent-shape tattoo or a distinctive arm band'. His comment was a staged a hoax, made at the beginning of his radio hour to see what callers would say. At the end of the show he said,"I can't believe any of you are sick enough to have agreed for one second with anything I said."

Here's a fine example from Public Figures Beware who is the Blogaversary highlighted blog of the day and has a great post on John Murtha:

John Murtha is on the Today Show, this morning, stating that the Administration's current stance on Iraq is basically what he's been saying all along. That's silly. But his silliest comment came next. ... all the terrorists will leave once the United States leaves. He said the Iraqis will get rid of the terrorists once the United States leaves. He said there were no terrorists before the United States got there, there was no al-Qaeda, and there were no WMD's.

Go visit both blogs and read their other articles. The truth is that we are a divided country and this is not good for our future, for our safety, for anything. I have no idea what the solution is, if there is one.

What say you?

I hope you got the trackback, Vanishing American. TypePad was out most of the day yesterday. (hate them)

Debbie, thanks for the link and for your own very perceptive comments on the subject at hand.
I truly do wish I had an easy answer to the problem; actually, I have some thoughts, and I am working them up for a future post.
