I am glad you have devoted some space to this subject (the Red-Green alliance) which has been neglected by the media, even the conservative media. The last time I was in France friends in the academic and intellectual world explained to me how far advanced this unholy alliance had progressed in the universities there. And now we see it exploding into the political realm, as Mamdami represents the first shoots in the United States. In some ways we should be grateful its first test will be in New York City, a notoriously ungovernable entity in which every recent mayor has been an abject failure. But we should probably not bank too much on that. This Mamdami phenomenon will probably surface in other ungovernable cities like San Francisco, Portland, Seattle and (as it already seems to be surfacing) in Minneapolis. Whether it could expand beyond its urban core is an interesting question. The DSA folks think it can. I hope they are wrong.

And here we are Ms. Pletka, after forty plus years of Cold War defending our nation from external threats, we are confronted with a more sinister and deadly threat from within. The apathy of citizens is discouraging. Is there truly a pendulum of history? I don't want to believe that. Freedom is the prize and worthy of our defense. But is there no respite? Take care.

The Threat has always been from The inside. The question/problem is how to combat it without becoming it.

And here’s his WSJ piece, Has Mamdani Really Left His ‘Political Home’?

The Democratic Party IS the DSA today. The change really started on Jan. 20 2009.

THE question (assuming Mamdani wins) is how long will it take for New Yorkers to realize The Screwed The Pooch?

"Of course, the rest is history. But like many of my fellow Americans, I suspect, I can replay every moment in my mind. The blurry faces hanging from windows. The fear, the horror, and for days, the silence."

Oh yeah! I was right here "Plane Crashes into World Trade Center"

I knew nothing about Islam, but for the next 10 years read everything I could to understand Who, What, Why, How this happened.
