Top Ten Fatwas of the Leftist Jihad

Thomas Jefferson opined that “The Tree of Liberty must be refreshed form time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants, for this is its natural manure.”   In the Twentieth Century, we bore witness to such internecine fertilization in the forms of World Wars I and II, and the subsequent proxy wars against the Soviet Union and Communist China in Korea, Viet Nam and elsewhere.  As the Iron Curtain fell circa 1989, we had high hopes that our Tree of Liberty would be sated for a long time to come.  Who would have guessed that within just a score of the Cold War’s denouement, we would have to answer its desperate call for nourishment again? 

As we awaken from a relatively brief slumber of ignorance and complacency, it is becoming abundantly clear that we are confronted by a new enemy every bit as pernicious as the Third Reich.  One could argue that Islamofascists have always been a bloodthirsty and Draconian lot, but they have not been a worthy opponent of the United States since Thomas Jefferson himself dispatched our Marines to the shores of Tripoli in 1803.  Nevertheless, the Twenty-First Century has offered a great bounty to these kaffiya-clad trolls which all but levels the playing field, to wit, the nuclear genie has been released from the plutonium bottle. 

The prospect of an asymmetrical war against this fluid and shadowy enemy –lethal as it may be – is not overly disconcerting.  The United States should prevail in such a conflict faster than you can say The Manhattan Project.  There is just one problem: We are defending against a two-front Jihad.  On one front, we are engaged by furtive terrorists who seek to deploy weapons of mass destruction against our citizenry.  These are your Radical Muslim Jihadists.  On the other front, our hands are being cuffed behind our backs by old familiar acquaintances. These are your American Leftist Jihadists.  Both of these Jihadist factions undertake courses of conduct rather injurious to the United States.  The differences between the two movements merit exploration.

The Radical Muslim Jihadists are not shy about promulgating their fatwas, all of which are designed to achieve global domination.  We are all quite familiar with these fatwas by now – Destroy America, annihilate Israel, kill all the Jews, kill all the Christian Africans, forcibly convert everyone to Wahabist Islam, videotape the decapitation of infidels and broadcast the resulting horror, bomb European planes, trains and automobiles, turn Muslim children into walking explosives and have them kill other children – Praise be unto Allah -- yadda yadda yadda.  The Radical Muslim Jihadists make no bones about where they stand.  They openly and zealously oppose freedom of speech, freedom of religion, individual rights, self-determination, women’s rights, and representative government.

The American Leftist Jihadists are arguably more sinister because they actually claim to support the hallmarks of a free society.  And despite the fact that many of them genuinely believe they are acting in concert with such lofty principles, they are nonetheless committed to executing their own set of fatwas that literally poison our country from within.  As we prepare to engage our most formidable foe since the Red Menace, there are elements in our own society who do everything possible to sabotage our chances for victory.   It is as if our bodies are battling foreign bacteria while simultaneously suffering from a debilitating auto-immune disease.

Nevertheless, we can surely win the two-front Jihad, but only after we expose and counteract the American Leftist Jihad.  Towards this end, I will identify what I believe to be the top ten Leftist Fatwas threatening the United States.  They are, in no particular order, as follows:

1. ERODE THE SOVEREIGNTY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

2. RENDER EVIL INDISCERNIBLE WITH A FAUX PHILOSOPHY OF MORAL RELATIVISM

3. MAINTAIN STALWART CONTROL OVER THE MEDIA AND INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER LEARNING

 
4.  DENIGRATE AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM AND BLAME AMERICA FOR THE WORLD’S  PROBLEMS
 

5. PROMOTE SOCIALISM, COLLECTIVISM, ENTITLEMENTS AND A CULT OF VICTIMIZATION

6. REDISTRIBUTE THE WEALTH OF THE UNITED STATES TO THE REST OF THE WORLD

7. WEAKEN THE FAMILY UNIT IN FAVOR OF INCREASED GOVERNMENT CONTROL AND INFLUENCE

8. REVISE HISTORY AND OBFUSCATE THE TRUTH ABOUT THE RISE OF THE AMERICAN REPUBLIC

9. PARALYZE IDEOLOGICAL OPPONENTS WITH POLITICAL CORRECTNESS AND PERSONAL STIGMAS

10. MARGINALIZE THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION WITH THE ERRANT RULINGS OF ACTIVIST JUDGES
