A Question of Faith

I think a good subtitle would be: 2 rights don't make it left.
Thoughts bounce around in my head and until I say them out loud, I can't sleep. What happens is that they gain momentum and accumulate mass, going from a quite pinging to a deafening thump that finds me stroking the keyboard at ungodly hours of the night.
Sorry if I have to set the story up a little before I get into it but you have grown accustomed to it by now, I hope.
My first thoughts were to go back to using my other blog, fishingforsturgeon@blogspot.com, to convey ideas that weren't congruent with Two and Thru movement but I quickly realized that what I was thinking did fall in line with the concept. So here we are on "still". Look at your browser if you didn't understand.
There are few people that I respect more than the host of SaltyTalkRadio.com, Mark Salter. He is well informed, educated, and well spoken. He is a sounding board for me and allows me to form my own opinions on conversations that we have.
Now that the ass kissing is over, he does answer most, if not all, of my questions. The one from today actually started the pinball reaction in my brain.
I'll paraphrase: If I understand it correctly, the Muslim faith is conservative and if that is true then ISIS is ultraconservative, far right. Am I missing something? You're not wrong was the response I got, or something along that line.
If that's true, (here's the tricky part) why is the left embracing the Muslim faith?
I originally didn't feel this should be part of wanting the American public to vote out all politicians after 2 terms until it started its drum beat in my head.
Let's go back to the 'why'. And I'll say it slower.
Why would the l e f t  e m b r a c e  t h e  r i g h t ?
It is a different right. And they, the forever leadership, feel that they can control this right with their longevity and power, thus gaining the support they need to guide the party to the wonderful world of, I don't know, socialism? Post-modern progressivism? Whatever ism it is that they hope for, they are willing to sell themselves out to the next big demographic to get there. All the while not realizing that they are melding in the very thing they despise.
Why? Why do they do this? Win at all costs? It will be different this time.
When one group (today's focus is left) is willing to bring into its fold the very ideals it is against to maintain the power of the leadership it has spent decades to build them it is not about what is right for the people or the country, it is something else.
Mark said it best...Lunacy.
