Gates of Vienna: Less Than Zero

*
We came across this excellent post on the GZM (Ground Zero Mosque - yes, it has its own acronym now) at Gates of Vienna and plucked a few excerpts as as an appetizer:

Does anyone else remember the deep blue perfection of that early Autumn day? How fathomless the September sky? How temperate the sun had become after the heat of August? Only the gum trees and sycamore had turned color; the Michaelmas daisies were in full bloom, sprawled under the fig tree. Those images would shortly be pierced by the horror of falling bodies and buildings, of determined heroism in the face of certain death .

Who would have believed then the hell hole created by Islam would still be there nine years later? Who could have conceived that Islam would be blatantly performing yet another “We Won” victory dance, a deceitful, time-worn choreography they have sadistically named “Cordoba”? This time we will experience the devastation in slow-motion, but it will be every bit as lethal as the original cataclysm on September 11th 2001.

Thus, we have Ground Zero now and appallingly close to it, there will be erected — despite our requests not to build — the disturbing “Less than Zero” edifice. Just in case we don't comprehend the depths of "Cordoba" they have been careful to plan this for September 11th, 2011. Yet another 9/11 of destruction. We must be softened up before we can be coaxed into going quietly. They are masters at this.

Ah, yes, the Tea Parties. No wonder it’s so vital to smash them. And how about Sarah Palin? There’s a woman who refuses to dance to any of their tunes and declines to show her cards.

No wonder average folks are so energized by Ms. Palin’s zest and zeal. No wonder the Political Class hates her. Hates her so much they needed to have one of their own move in next door to the Palin house and report the quotidian events of her life to anyone who’ll pay to listen.

Come to think of it, there are some parallels between the Zero Mosque builders (first they have to tear the building down) and the Sarah Palin Stalkers (first they have to destroy her). Both of them use the tactic of moving in for the kill.

Many, including some on the right, haven't connected the dots which reveal the outline of what we are up against. There exists an Axis of Radicalism, a fleeting alliance of the radical left with radical Islam. Its foundation rests on little more than the fact that that both parties share a common goal -- the destruction of America as we know her -- and the old saw that "the enemy of my enemy is my friend."

The radical left, having reached its zenith by getting one of its own elected POTUS, seems not to know or to care that it is in cahoots with a crocodile. The knowledge that the croc will eat the leftists last either escapes them entirely or they have buried it deep within their collective subconscious. If the secularism of the left seems incompatible with the radical theology of the jihadists, just try to understand that their shared hatred of the American brand of liberty outweighs such seemingly insurmountable differences.

Actually, this perverse partnership is nothing new. David Horowitz wrote about it six years ago in Unholy Alliance: How the Left Supports Terrorists at Home, and that book should be considered required reading. The full Gates of Vienna post is also a must-read here.
