Bill Maher, is most certainly what is being Left! To reiterate my original point, as more and more 'good' citizens evaporate from Liberalism and the Democrat party, all that will be left is the filth... that which is untreatable, not compatible, will go nowhere else..... and stinks unbearably of rot and decomposition. What is being Left is a toxic poison that is attempting to feed itself to humanity... by force. I give you, modern Liberalism as personified by a superconcentrated paste of human septic waste in a cheap suit with a bad haircut a scat-eating grin and a personal stench to match his moral degeneracy.

The brutal assasination attempt missed its intended target, but nevertheless ended the lives of 23 people in Bagram, Afghanistan yesterday. It did however succeed in stirring the fetid core of what is being Left.
BAGRAM, Afghanistan (AP) — In what the Taliban claimed was an assassination attempt, a suicide bomber attacked the main gate of a U.S. military base Tuesday within earshot of Vice President Dick Cheney. The explosion killed 23 people, including two Americans, and delivered a propaganda blow that undercut the U.S. military and the weak Afghan government it supports.
The bomber struck about 10 a.m., and U.S. military officials declared a "red alert'' at the sprawling Bagram Air Base while Cheney was rushed to a bomb shelter. Cheney, who had been stranded at the base overnight by a snowstorm, met with President Hamid Karzai in the capital before heading back to the United States via the Gulf
state of Oman.
"I heard a loud boom,'' Cheney told reporters aboard Air Force Two en route to Oman."The Secret Service came in and told me there had been an attack on the main gate.''
Many of the victims were said to be Afghan truck drivers waiting to get inside the base. A dozen men — many of them sobbing heavily — left the base holding a stretcher bearing their loved ones wrapped in black body bags. Tears streamed down the face of one man sitting in the passenger seat of an SUV that carried another victim away.
No sooner had the Afghan Taliban laid proud claim to the carnage, when the American Left both applauded the brutal attempt, and lamented its failure. Similar to the scenes of Palestinian celebrations in Gaza on the afternoon of September 11th, the Left, acting out in virtual microcosm, considered for a moment the primordial source of their true motivation and exposed it briefly for the world to behold yesterday at the popular Democrat Blog, Huffington Post. Try as they might afterward to flush the memory hole of any record, WorldNetDaily took notice of some 12 pages of vitriolic comments from the post before the thread was locked and purged. It included such morcels of wisdom as these...
Better luck next time! (TDB)
Dr Evil escapes again ... damn. (truthtopower01)
So Cheney is personally responsible for the deaths of 14 innocent people ... and then he waddles off to lunch!! What a piece of sh--! (fantanfanny)
Jesus Christ and General Jackson too, can't the Taliban do anything right? They must know we would be so gratefull (sic) to them for such a remarkable achievement. (hankster2)
Hey, Thalia, lighten up. I, for one, don't wish Cheny (sic) had been killed. I wish he had been horribly maimed and had to spend the rest of his life hooked to a respirator. Feel better now? (raisarooney)
Let's see ... they're killing him over there so we don't have to kill him over here? (ncjohn)And they missed!? Oh, Hell. Like Mamma used to say, I guess it's the thought that counts ... (Anachro1)
You can never find a competent suicide bomber when you need one. (Mark701)
To be fair, WND further noted,
... that one contributor to the string of comments, "MNCurler," echoed many others, writing: "The posts advocating for Cheney's demise really show the class of the people who post here. No wonder you can't get a civil debate on this site- we are dealing with lunatic idiots."
Nevertheless the dominant sentiments of the core of what is being Left were cleary expressed by those "lunatic idiots", despite saner protestations. Were that this was an isolated incident of pathological malevolence, one might write it off as the verbal defecations of a marginal radical fringe of ignorant miscreants. But, as I have recorded over the years (see links below) this is an ongoing and quite characteristic of what is being Left.
Note that in their expression of emotion, the self-righteous champions of humanism all but ignored the victims of this latest terrorist assault. Predictably, the Left remains silent about the collateral body count of innocents when the terrorists attack... especially when their target is the American Vice President.
A recent post at FreeRepublic, purportedly on behalf of Moderate Muslims, begged restraint and cooperation,
We the moderate Muslims are doing our best to build Bridges and spread the Peace with "People of the Book" (Jews, Christians, Muslims), and others who are also our brethrens in humanity. But we can’t do it alone and we need your help.
We can tell you that most people around us, are loving, and supportive of us. This is a great Country, as we are free to practice Islam, and contribute to our society.
Regardless of their geniuine sincerity, I was forced to consider their point As unpopular a sentiment as this might seem in many circles, it nevertheless occurred to me as I pondered the asassination attempt on Cheney weighed against the glee on the Left and their disappointment at its lack of success, that something here in our thinking is askew. Was it Sun Tzu who pointed out that the enemy of my enemy is my friend? The Left and the Islamofascists clearly share similar immediate goals and their fundamental sentiments bare profound similarity... Western Civilization is depraved and must be erradicated. In fact, what is being Left has more in common through their collective insanity with radical Muslims than they the West. Similarly, We have far more in common with moderate Muslims than we do our radical Leftists brethren. This War, it occurred to me is being framed along the wrong lines of friend and foe. And perhaps it will be won when we are willing to acknowledge the right friendships and build an alliance of respect and trust among the Men of virtue... be they Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Budhist, Mormon, Muslim or agnostic apostles of Reason. When those Men unite, victory will be delivered. If , however we remain traditionally united by rusted chains of categorical unity, and yet functionally divided in spirit, we will all be cut down by an enemy unified in its hatred of Mankind. Because what is being Left has become every bit as morally degenerate as the Taliban and Al Quaeda, if but merely lacking the courage to act on their immense hate with anything more than those anonymous verbal defecations.
Of that, I guess we can at least be thankful. For now. But, the friend of my enemy claims solidarity, while openly advocating my demise. And that is afterall, what is being Left.

I was struck by your comment regarding the conflict being framed in the wrong terms. I have occasionally visited some Muslim countries, have acquired some Muslim relatives, and have often been impressed by their virtues of hospitality, balance, clear absence of prejudice. All virtues which would appear NOT to be shared by those who attack and kill the innocent.
But the difficulty is: how are the virtuous to be distinguished from the evil - especially the virtuous in the "enemy" camp, and the evil in "friendly" ranks? And even if this could be done, would not changing the "frame of reference" of a conflict, open the changer to charges of treason? Especially if the changer is a chessman rather than a player. Even players cannot often get away with it - check out the life of Frederick II, who included Saracens in his body-guard, and was NOT well-beloved of crusading Popes.
Another problem: how many people who commit evil acts, recognise them as such? Not many I imagine.
Do you not think that most people who kill others, feel they are doing it for virtuous reasons?
Would be interested to read your thoughts on these matters.
Thanks and regards
