I am nearly choking on the sophistication of some people, who defame the current Administration and create mare's nests to feed their paranoia......

I don't know what "mares' nests" connote, and haven't noticed, on the left, the least sophistication going on. Perhaps our definitions of that word differ. I use it to mean something like worldly wise. What I've noticed on the left is the opposite: rampant denial, blind "political correctness," and a naivete that, if it were accompanied by power, might well be lethal to us. I've noticed that there is a tendency on the left to believe that whoever is darker and poorer is better, to put it most starkly. This accords with the odd notion, or definition, also strongly prevalent on the left, that only the white oppressors can be racist, the disadvantaged, never.

I don't call these American citizen leftists 'traitors,' or suggest they be deported, or liken them to Hitler, or attack their professional competence, or pretend they have spoken against our "young men" when it is untrue. I simply state my position and plan to vote for whoever seems best to understand that we Americans are hated by millions of Muslims zealots abroad and at home, and there is nothing we can do about that with loving expressions on our faces and a tone of sweet reason. They want to kill us all and our grandchildren, duh, and oppress those they haven't murdered, and I want to foil this desire on their part. It's a new ball game, as any citizen should plainly see, at this point, even if they didn't before, imo.

I am going to post an apposite piece by Christopher Hitchens from the Nation if it's online....
