The Taliban (as well as many other radical Islamic groups) have to be killed. It is the nature of that conflict. The American left has only to be defeated and publicly ostracized. That is the nature of such an internal conflict. They must be run permanently out of politics, academia, entertainment, and any other position of influence. It must be "generally accepted" that people with Marxist/Leninist beliefs are not to be entrusted in teaching, managing or governing. It must be taken for granted that the usual weak-charactered opportunists that toot someone else's horn will reject the Marxist/Leninist body of thought in order to gain the acceptance they crave. A generation or two hence, when we are most-likely gone, our legacy will be whether or not we failed in this conflict with our internal Taliban. If we have, indeed, failed, that future generation may not make the distinction between defeating and killing...

The use of concentration camps and mass extermination on internal enemies is a tool of the American left (at its greatest extreme) as well as other totalitarian movements in history. These artifacts prove the moral and intellectual bankruptcy of Marxism/Leninism, Nazism, and their clients and offshoots. They are, thus, counterproductive, and lead, ultimately, to the downfall of the oppressive power. The Founders were not unfamiliar with such oppressive movements in their day. That was, indeed, their motivation in building the enlightened American state. They calculated that a populace, given liberty, would trend away from these counterfeit and radical world views, and reject them, ultimately, based entirely on the transparency of their intellectual fraud. We are today, knee deep in an enemy that would-given power and time-destroy the American ideal, both for their own personal lust for power, as well as a passionate attempt to impose their own warped and athiestic world view on everyone else. They have not yet been defeated and ostracized, but my own belief is that the gradual defeat is in progress, driven by their excesses during the temporary occupation of one of their own, Bill Clinton, of the White House. Thus, in my opinion, the Founders' confidence in posterity will be reaffirmed, as these left wing enemies eventually drop from politics, academia, entertainment, and all other places of influence, and find they cannot be accepted in these sensitive fields anymore, because of their hostile, anti-human, athiestic, and socialistic views. Thus, in my view, we will not drive the third or fourth generation hence to throw off their oppression by imprisoning or killing them. Honest contemporary American idealists must, however, maintain diligence by keeping in mind the darkest possible scenario that could result from their own failure to defend the hallowed American ideals in their own era-a diligence that would be worthy of the vision and dedictaion of the Founders themselves...
