Peter Schweizer: How Radical Muslims Unite to "Fight America Everywhere and All the Time"
Establishing this conclusion would require a lot more evidence, of course.
My view here has a couple of components:
[1] Important parts of the left are open about their goal of destroying the U.S. and Western Civilization more generally. These views obviously trickle down from the radical vanguard to blue-team types who would not regard themselves as radical. But they trickle down in forms that are obscured--they have the effect of undermining the U.S., but this isn't open/obvious. Thus, e.g., the blue team's current views on immigration are, like so many destructive policies, marketed to progressives in terms of kindness...but their ulterior motive is destruction of the country.
[2] Every faction has its anti-American fringe. The right clearly has one. But an important question is: how extensive and influential is it? That's the question here. This fringe obviously exists on the left...and is actually pretty extensive and influential...but we need to know: how much so?
[3] Perhaps the major problem here is: the left simply will not even consider such arguments. Show this Schweizer piece to a lefty and you know what the response will be: REEEEEE RACIST!!!111one!
I'd be happy for this thesis to be false. But it has significant prima facie plausibility. Mostly, I just demand that it be considered rather than rejected out of hand with the left's standard sophistry and name-calling.
