The French Revolution began to consume itself after first killing off all kinds of other people. The guillotine began whacking heads off of the revolutionaries who were insufficiently zealous. The result was that the movement eventually died for lack of supporters, thank God.
Somewhat the same thing is happening on the Left at the moment. Bill Maher, the Uber Lefty who holds court on his own show at HBO, finally figured out that jihadists are not good company and has recently begun saying so. Mais non, Monsieur! It is sacrilege!
Maher's fleeting moment of reality has triggered a movement at UC Berkeley to disinvite him as the the 2015 Commencement speaker by all the little Brownshirts who cannot stand anything that challenges their alternate reality. At this point the Chancellor has said that Maher will speak, as this is a free speech issue. True, but as we get closer to the date, stay tuned for further developments. How's the blade on the guillotine?
