So there you have it. . .

I have a pretty set routine in the AM, grab some juice, or coffee, depending on how much sleep I got, turn on the tube, check email, then make the rounds of about 15 websites/blogs to see what's up.

Frontpagemag.com is on the list and while normally just fly past them after a brief scan, the article on the front today caught my eye. I'm not sure why it grabbed me, maybe it was Penn & Teller's "Bullshit" episode last night, but read it I did. The following quote just SCREAMED at me. [Here's the permalink for the article.]

Mohammad Basirul Haq Sinha: "You often call for uniting Muslim and progressive forces globally. How far is it possible under current situation?"

Galloway: "Not only do I think it's possible but I think it is vitally necessary and I think it is happening already. It is possible because the progressi ve movement around the world and the Muslims have the same enemies. Their enemies are the Zionist occupation, American occupation, British occupation of poor countries mainly Muslim countries. They have the same interest in opposing savage capitalist globalization which is intent upon homogenizing the entire world turning us basically into factory chickens which can be forced fed the American diet of everything from food to Coca-Cola to movies and TV culture. And whose only role in life is to consume the things produced endlessly by the multinational corporations. And the progressive organizations & movements agree on that with the Muslims."

"Otherwise we believe that we should all have to speak as Texan and eat McDonalds and be ruled by Bush and Blair. So on the very grave big issues of the day-issues of war, occupation, justice, opposition to globalization-the Muslims and the progressives are on the same side."

So there you have it, the poster-boy-du-jour of the left is calling for "progressives" to unite with Muslims against the US and the evil corporations, who act all corporation-y.

I'm sorry, but I just don't get it. Has the left finally just lost all sense of themselves, and reached a point where they're willing to give up their stance on women's rights, gay marriage, the welfare state and human rights? Are they now actually suggesting that the Muslims are closer to their views than the majority of Americans?

Let's see, last time I checked, the Muslims that Galloway wants to get in bed with were chopping the heads off of gay people in the town square, stoning women for going outside alone and blowing up women and children with suicide attacks. I'm pretty sure that the Muslim world is pretty much anti-abortion and I'm quite sure that we won't see any female presidents or potentates in Arabia anytime soon.

OH WAIT, I SEE IT NOW. . . . It's the corporations, those evil corporations that are acting all corporation-y. Yes, it's evil Coca-Cola and McDonald's that are to blame. How dare the Coca-Cola executives offer their product for sale to people that want it. Shame shame on McDonald's for granting franchises overseas or even selling their product at all. Yes, it's the "globalization" argument all over again.

So let me get this straight, you make a product, you offer that product for sale, you sell that product to whoever wants to buy, and that makes you evil??? Yes, it's all perfectly clear now --- NOT!

The left has finally come out of the closet. Their issues don't matter, they have no principles and their willing to get into bed with anyone as long as it means that the evil corporations get theirs. Come on now!!! Is the left rank and file going to stand for this?? Of course they are. Why? Because they've never really cared about anything they spew as long as it goes against what the current status quo is.

That's their whole line, hook and sinker. Rail against anything successful because it's all driven by the Zionist corporations. They must believe somewhere in their dark little clouded brains that uniting with the Muslims against the US will somehow gain them sufficient favor in the Muslim world that suddenly the Muslims will see the error of their ways and begin treating women equally, respecting human rights, stop beheading gays and be happy happy joy joy with the rest of the world. Delusions, evil delusions.

NEWSFLASH FOR GALLOWAY AND THE LEFT --- Wahhabists and Muslim fundamentalists want YOU DEAD TOO. Just because you're willing to make speeches extolling the virtues of hybrid cars and express your hatred for everything Western isn't going to ingratiate you with the Muslim extremists. They still want you dead, the most you can possibly do is buy yourselves a bit more time, or convert to Islam and start chopping the heads off gays and stoning women for fun.

I find it very ironic that the left, which has now taken to calling itself "progressive" would choose to rail against progress at every turn, even going so far as to align themselves with possibly the most backward, oppressive and anti-thetical (to their previously stated views) major culture on the planet.

I also find it very ironic that the left doesn't realize that Muslim's hate the far left even more than they do the right. Yet they still look at the Muslims as their final saving grace. Yes, the Left thinks that the Muslims will overlook their embrace of women's right (a definite no-no in the Arab world) and gay rights (which is right OUT over there). Do they believe that the Muslims will invite them in with honest open arms??? I'm afraid they do, the delusional moonbats they are.

I am glad though, that the left is finally showing their true adgenda. It's not about human rights, it's about defeating those evil Zionists and Corporation-y corporations. Personally, I can't wait for Hilary to pull out her burka and show us her true colors.

PS Before someone emails me or comments about what a right wing rag FrontPageMag.com is, keep in mind that it's only one of quite a few sites on the morning survey. It's balanced with DailyKOS, Democratic Underground, Air America and The NYT. Instapundit, WaPo, LGF, American Thinker and FreeRepublic also are on the list along with a few other "mainstream" media outlets.
