Jay, I kept scrolling up to double-check the date of this piece.

Then I kept waiting for the part where it becomes obvious you are writing satire, where you admit how wrong the Left was on everything.  Wrong, wrong, wrong from Stalin through Saddam, from Welfare through FNMA, wrong about the Rosenbergs, wrong about Reagan, wrong about Bush.  That part never came.

Now I'm thinking "What, he's for real?"

I would think someone who is supposed to be some kind of journalist would have at least some semblance of reality.

"In my opinion, community organizing should elicit more respect than serving the nation as a soldier at war."

 This line of yours, my dear, epitomizes the completely ass-backwards thinking of the Left. 

Please allow me to translate some Red-State English for you: 

Serving as a soldier deserves much more respect than being a race-baiting ghetto agitator. 

Risking your life in battle deserves more respect than declining a corporate job.

Sarah Palin is not necessarily the Red States' model mother; she's a real mother.  She didn't wait until her career was under way and then hire a surrogate and a nanny.  She didn't get artificially inseminated with her lesbian partner.  She got married, worked, popped out some kids, worked some more, campaigned, had another few kids.  That's what some women do, and they don't expect to be praised for being super-moms and they also shouldn't be criticized for having kids and a career at the same time.

...Then this din proves Mr. Klinghoffer has struck a nerve of truth.

Apparently the only thing liberals hate worse than the accusation that their policies are atheistic is being proven that their policies act against G-d's commandments.

This piece demonstrates clearly, if admittedly concisely, that political positions reflect either a society's celebration of divinely imbued free choice or a people's perceived victimhood to natural impediments.  Making fun of its author's (unchosen) name does not negate an essay's contentions.

You're either for Torah or against it.
