Extreme Muslims and Liberals

The Muslim extremists and American extreme liberals are similar in many ways. Not the least of which is that both insist on exercising "their" right of free speech and insist that everyone else listen to them. They, however, refuse to listen to any point of view that disagrees with them. So, in the childish mentality of both extreme Muslims and liberals, free speech is "mine, mine, mine, not yours".
They also share an apparent desire to see the complete unravelling of the U.S. as the leading power in the world. One is reminded of the traitor, Ephialtis, who showed the Persians a secret pass to get behind the Spartans at Thermopylae. If we, as a people, do not recognize this danger and act accordingly we are doomed. As it is said, those who do not remember history are condemned to repeat it.
The Muslims and liberals are equally determined to rid the world of what they perceive as evil. Which is to say, working Americans trying to fulfill the American dream and following the rules of American society. It is at this point that the liberals and Muslims part ways. Neither understand nor appreciate the "melting pot" that was America. E pluribus unum, from many one; referencing the many states united as one country, but also the many peoples from the world uniting as AMERICANS, under American rules and language. The liberals do not believe in any rules. The "If it feels good, do it" mentality, where rules are a drag. They believe "American values" are too stringent and intolerant, and see the removal of America as a great nation as a means to their goal to "feel good".
The Muslims, on the other hand, see America as a decadent cancer to be cut out of the world body, by whatever means necessary and would control the wealth and strength of America to spread Islam throughout the world. Any who oppose them will die. Liberals refuse to see that their decadence will get their heads on the chopping block if Islam is triumphant. Not being able to see reality is part of the affliction of liberalism.
Just for interest is the response of King Leonidas to King Xerxes demand that the Greeks surrender their weapons. "Molon labe", Come and take them. 'Nuff said.
