David Horowitz is a recovering red-diaper baby; his background is here. Today on FrontPage, Jason D. Hill reviews Mr. Horowitz’s latest book:
. . . David Horowitz has
identified the nature of that second virus. I think that he reasons that it is
deadlier than COVID-19, and that its deleterious consequences are far more
destructive and long-lasting than any biological infection.
… This latest book, The Enemy Within: How a Totalitarian
Movement is Destroying America, Horowitz locates the political
ideology destroying every democratic and Enlightenment value on which our
constitutional republic was founded. The invasive virus identified by Horowitz
is a left-wing reactionary politics ensconced within the Democratic Party.
The philosophical root of this
ideology which ties it to several movements that suffuse our culture, whether
it be radical feminism, Black Lives Matter, Islamic Jihadism, the equity
movements, reparation movements, the trial by media of Justice Brett Kavanaugh
or, what Horowitz describes as the racist anti-racist rhetoric of Ibram X.
Kendi and Ta-Nahesi Coates, is: “Identity Politics.”
Horowitz defines it as a radical
ideology that is “racial and collectivist, and that privileges groups over
individuals and demonized those who fall on the wrong side of its social
equation. As a worldview Identity Politics is fundamentally at odds with
America’s core principles of individual freedom, accountability, and equality,
which have been the foundation of the nation’s progress for more than two
hundred years.”
