Happy 4th From The Kos Kids

Kos' post on the 4th July is one of the most assinine I have ever seen at his site, and that is saying alot. Here is his opening line:

Funny how the wingers try to claim American liberals are in league with crazy fundamentalist Muslims.

Reality is, we hate everything Islamic fundamentalism stands for. On the other hand, the Dobson's of the Republican Party -- you know, the people running the show -- have far more in common with the enemy than they'd ever like to admit.

Indeed, the left hates everything Islamic Fundamentalism stands for...except for that little issue of wanting to destroy Bush and end America's reign as a super-power. On that, the two factions seem perfectly in line with one another. What's the old saying? The enemy of my enemy...

Kos goes on to explain why the "religious right" and Islamic militants are essentially exactly the same.

Religion in government

Al Qaida/Taliban: One and the same
American Taliban: One and the same
Liberals: Separation of church and state

Schools

Al Qaida/Taliban: Religious indoctrination. Run by clergy.
American Taliban: School prayer. Religious indoctrination (creationism and "intelligent design"). Private religious school system.
Liberals: Leave religious teachings to parents and sunday school.

Women

Al Qaida/Taliban: No school, must cover entire body, no rights
American Taliban: Government control over reproductive freedoms, hostility to Title IX, hostility to working women
Liberals: Equality of the sexes

Religious freedom

Al Qaida/Taliban: 'Think like us, or we'll whiip you and/or chop off your head'
American Taliban: 'Think like us, or we'll condemn you to hell'
Liberals: To each her own

Homosexuality

Al Qaida/Taliban: Eradicate them from society
American Taliban: Eradicate them from society
Liberals: Equality under the law

It is almost scary to think that this one man has so much control over the left. His thinking is so pedestrian and his arguments so childish as to be totally unworthy of debate. If anything, Kos post gives a much better indication of how idiotic the left has become. While they would have been much better served trying to understand conservatives over the last decade, Kos' proves that tired attempts to demonize are alive and well and...about all they have left.
