So-Called WashPost 'Conservative' Blogger Shreds Ted Cruz

AlterNet: Cruz Courts ‘Pro-Israel Extremists,’ But Liberal Donors OK
Liberal politicians often get a free pass from the media when they receive millions in support from billionaire activists like Tom Steyer. But when Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, associates with pro-Israel donors and activists, liberal bloggers call this a "political nightmare."

GQ's Ana Marie Cox: Value Voters Summit Wants What 'Islamicists' Want
Leftists have an extreme difficulty in differentiating between conservative Christians in the United States and Islamo-fascists in the Middle East. Somehow, letting your traditional religious views affect (infect?) our democracy is akin to beheadings and terrorism.
