Jihad=Global Warming??

Though I fundamentally disagree with the dichotomy between "conservative" and "liberal" (I think most people are not exclusively one or the other, but a little of both, or possibly neither), I am intrigued by this religion blogger's post discussing how the American Left views jihad in a similar light as the American Right views Global Warming.

Basically, his point is that in addressing the issue of radical Islam head-on, the Left would be "[buying] into an absurd and dangerous right-wing plot to institutionalize bigotry, build the national security state, and wage permanent war," in their own terminology, just as if the Right were to discover scientific realities in Global Warming, it "would require them to alter their fundamental views in a way they find objectionable."

Not terribly sure how these two things actually relate, but I think it provides a good example of bipartisan politics, showing how both sides of the coin act very similarly for their "causes," no matter the issue.
