I recently came across this from a leftist posting. This is indeed how the left views us — not as people with whom they disagree, but as evil and backward as the Taliban.

Some of the rhetoric has become quite alarming – from “anarchists” to “arsonists,” “domestic enemies,” “a boil that must be lanced” – surely it does not violate Godwin’s law to recall the last time someone, whose initials were A.H. used the metaphor of germs, of a social infection needing scientific treatment.
We don’t quite know, yet, if “Obama,” or whoever writes his material, is going to pursue their Marxism-Leninism to its inevitable and bloody conclusion. If you monitor Leftist rhetoric, you cannot avoid either the triumphalism or the palpable anxiety about the almost imaginary “Tea Party”. Why so worried, fellas? Are you losing, anywhere?
Communists are always insecure, even when all opposition has vanished. Just as the wicked flee when no man pursueth. Their insecurity is fundamental, just as the laws of nature and of nature’s God which they abhor are fundamental. No repression, no genocide, can free them from the awareness that man’s God-given nature is an enormous latent force, always ready to rise up and crush the serpent.
And, in America, the magnitude and the power of the latent opposition is without equal. The American Left is afraid, and they should be afraid. We saw this, in the pre-Internet age, with Reagan. But now, with Palin, with Cruz, with the “Tea Party” – these are like monsters coming in dreams for the Leftists who must feel close, so close, to victory.
