I'm glad to see at least one commenter raising some of the Shadows of the Left. I've been trying for the past three years with comments on Umair's pieces to at least suggest to him (and his readers) to take a more holistic perspective, but he continues on, always straw manning his opposition and never turning his analysis onto the political ideology he supports. It's too bad, because he's clearly a sharp guy and he could do a lot of good in helping bring to light some of these issues and possibly healing some of the divisions in the culture.
