according to Timothy Noah

Dinesh D'Souza has found common cause with Osama Bin Laden. The al-Qaida leader, it turns out, didn't strike out against the United States on 9/11. He struck out against the American cultural left, which—not content to promote homosexuality, divorce, The Vagina Monologues, and other morally bankrupt causes across the United States—has been promoting them abroad, too. When, this past September, I expressed horror (Coulterized Conservatives) at the catalog copy for D'Souza's new book, The Enemy at Home: The Cultural Left and Its Responsibility for 9/11, an impartial reader might have protested that I was being unfair to a tome that I had not yet read. Now that I've read it, I can assure this hypothetical referee that I was more than fair. What follows is not a parody, but the author himself:

f the political left and the Islamic fundamentalists are in the same foreign policy camp [because they both hate American imperialism], then by the same token the political right and the Islamic fundamentalists are on the same wavelength on social issues. The left is allied with some radical Muslims in opposition to American foreign policy, and the right is allied with an even larger group of Muslims [which includes radical Muslims] in their opposition to American social and cultural depravity. This is the essential new framework I propose for understanding American foreign policy and American social issues.

We didn't have it coming. The left had it coming! D'Souza and his comrades at the Hoover Institution were just innocent bystanders!

I've made the observation that conservatives are more ideologically aligned with our muslim fundy enemies than with traditional American values of individual rights and personal liberty. Here we have a conservative commentator making that same observation. I don't know whether to lambaste D'Souza for being an anti-american douchebag or applaud him for acknowledging reality. I foresee the american public finally waking up to the realization that it's the right, not the left that truly wants to destroy American values.

edit: Moderators can you correct the title? It should read "Conservative Author Appeals to Conservatives to Embrace Islamofascist Values"

I made that observation frequently in the late 1980's, that the US Religious Right and Fanatical Muslims had more in common than they were willing to admit. I also held that both groups needed to meet in the deserts of Lybia one day, with one axe handle apiece. Whoever walked away got to be right.

Unbelievable. Many have said for years that the religious right is the American Taliban. It's startling to see this guy agree to that, and apparently he has no pangs of conscience about favorably comparing his political group to terrorists who oppress, kill, and torture because god tells them. This whole "one true faith" idea has got to be severely marginalized (I have no delusion of it totally vanishing in my lifetime) or we'll be in for even crazier times, at home and abroad.
 
“if the political left and the Islamic fundamentalists are in the same foreign policy camp [because they both hate American imperialism]…”

The thing is he’s not really talking about the political left. He’s talking about the extreme nut-case moon-bat left.

”…political right and the Islamic fundamentalists are on the same wavelength on social issues.”

And here he’s not really talking about the political right, he’s talking about the extremists, religiously fundamentalist, wing-nut right.

So what he’s really saying is that the Islamic fundamentalists are essentially equal to the extremist nut-case left plus the extremist nut-case right.

Something which I agree with completely.

How do you know what he's really talking about?

Because the political left is more than just people who hate America and the political right is more than just people who want to take us back to the 14th century on social issues. There is huge territory between these extremes.

Well, I disagree. I think D'Souza means exactly what he says.

Yes, such as individuals who have a pretty good idea what 14th century society was like and is not confortable with that. They want the victorians, not the 14th century.

No they don't- not if they had any idea what Victorian society was actually like.
Like all "golden age" conservatives, they are trying to take us back to a mythical past not an actual one.
