Op-Ed of the Day: Michael Barone's 'Our Covert Enemies'

Michael Barone hits the nail on the head with today’s op-ed “our covert enemies” to be found at Real Clear Politics. Barone is one of our favorite political analysts and is always guilty of clear thinking and straight talk. A small sample below:
"In our war against Islamo-fascist terrorism, we face enemies both overt and covert. The overt enemies are, of course, the terrorists themselves. Their motives are clear: They hate our society... and want to make us all submit to their totalitarian form of Islam....
Our covert enemies are harder to identify, for they live in large numbers within our midst. And in terms of intentions, they are not enemies in the sense that they consciously wish to destroy our society. On the contrary, they enjoy our freedoms and often call for their expansion. But they have also been working, over many years, to undermine faith in our society and confidence in its goodness. These covert enemies are those among our elites who have promoted the ideas labeled as multiculturalism, moral relativism and (the term is Professor Samuel Huntington's) transnationalism."
