Destructive Forces: Islamic State Killers & Leftist Utopians

Religious Freedom Coalition, July 3, 2015:

Retired Lt. Col. Ralph Peters, a commentator for Fox News, recently penned an editorial that perfectly describes the common linkage between the Islamic State savages and the far left Utopians who inhabit academia and our lamestream media.

Peters notes that the Islamic State is on a rampage to destroy every ancient monument in the Middle East that reminds them of Western Civilization and leftists are doing the same thing in America by erasing patriotism and any knowledge of Western Civilization’s contribution to human freedom.

As Peters writes:

The Islamic State destroys wondrous monuments to prevent “pagan worship,” to purify Islam and restore the caliphate to a state of perfection it never possessed. Aiming at a less puritanical, if equally rule-bound utopia, the American Left has all but destroyed the teaching of history in our schools, scorning facts in favor of paternalistic condescension toward minorities.

Thus it’s not enough to take the reasonable step of removing the Confederate Battle Flag from state and local government properties. That flag must be driven from the marketplace, from all public spaces and, at last, from the personal space, since it might be “hurtful,” even if hung in a basement. It’s admirable to celebrate the Black Panthers, but not for a struggling working man to honor a Civil War ancestor. In this case, brothers and sisters, bigotry ain’t a monopoly.

Islamist State sledgehammers smash off the faces of classical-era statues. Our Left wants to remove Founding Fathers and others from our currency to replace them with minor figures that suit their agenda. Both actions are about mastering the past to control the future.

The Utopians throughout history have brought only destruction, death, famine and despair into the lives of millions of people. From Sparta to Robespierre to Karl Marx, Stalin, Lenin, Mao, Hitler, Mussolini and Pol Pot, the result is always the same. In the name of creating a Utopian heaven on earth, these tyrants and butchers end up killing millions of people and plunging their nations into unspeakable hell.

As Ralph Peters puts it:

The Islamic State wants to obliterate the glories of the past, in service to humanity. The global Left denies the greatness of Western Civilization, in service to humanity. Their methods differ, but their utopian goals are equally divorced from tolerance, from all allowance for human frailty and, not least, from mercy.

When that amnesiac utopia arrives, whether in the wreckage of the Middle East or on our soil, the one thing of which we may be certain is that human beings will not prove perfectible. And heretics and apostates, the “enemies of the people,” must be destroyed.

The Islamic State and the Left in America are joined in a common goal of destroying Western Civilization – and they have Barack Hussein Obama in the White House to help them do it – a man who has a political philosophy that blends Karl Marx, Mohammad and Saul Alinsky into a toxic, death-producing poison.
