It really IS worth your time.

The racist, McCarthyite, totalitarian movement rearing its ugly head on college campuses as diverse as Missouri, Yale and Vanderbilt is being treated by conservatives as a case of kids too fragile to handle views with which they disagree. This may work as a debating tactic but it misunderstands both the malignancy of the politics behind the campaign and the ferocity of its radical leaders. Now they are calling for the heads of liberals (and getting them). But quaint American prejudices like the First Amendment still stand in their way. But for how long? If this movement, which includes large contingents of the Democratic Party – including the president, achieves critical mass and succeeds in its agendas and acquires the necessary power, who can doubt that they will be putting dissenters in prison and worse? These are people intoxicated with their own virtue, and determined to purge non-believers in their path. They are a perfect analogue to the Islamic fanatics who want to purify the planet. While the Islamic fanatics be-head, the American fanatics suppress and burn. At bottom, they see the world in parallel terms: Slay the infidels wherever you find them.
The current eruptions on college campuses, which will be escalating through this year, are the product of four decades of capitulations to leftwing racism and political correctness, which is a totalitarian party line whose inventor Mao Zedong murdered 70 million Chinese in its name. America still has strong traditions of intellectual pluralism and individual rights, which are obstacles in the way of the progressive storm troopers, but for how long? How many capitulations by so-called liberals, how many unconstitutional executive orders, how many coercions by Democrat-controlled government agencies before there are no obstacles left?
We saw these lynch mobs first hand in Ferguson, but only an inaudible few were willing to name them for what they were. In Ferguson, the president of the United States supported the lynchers, along with the Democratic Party and the leftwing chorus. And so it spread to New York and Baltimore and now Missouri and Yale. The time has come to call this for what it is, an American fascism. But the time is also getting late to reverse the tide.
I wouldn’t call it McCarthyite. I would call the Missouri movement Stalinist.
They shut down the media (no claims of national security).
They purged those who were not politically correct.
The whole thing was based upon a lie.
I like that, right out of the box, Horowitz goes to the philosophical movement involved.
Cultural Marxism/PC/Critical Theory have derived much of their power from the fact that non-academics—i.e., most people—are fooled by the notion that it’s all about “hurt feelings,” “sensitivity,” and “not giving offense.” I don’t know how many times I’ve heard people say, “Nobody wants to offend people, but I think this whole P.C. thing has gotten out of hand.”
That’s not what has happened. Nothing has “gotten out of hand.”
What has happened is that Cultural Marxism/P.C./Critical Theory is Marxism, and has been advancing for about 90 years. It’s Marxist totalitarian Communism. And the Democrat party is a Communist party.
The world is divided between the Asleep—who think Communism ended with the “collapse” of the Soviet Union—and the Awake, who understand that the U.S. Government has been Marxist for fifty years, with a SLIGHT, PARTIAL respite in the 1980’s.
Obama is both a Marxist and a Muslim terrorist. And every major Democrat politician is a Marxist and a tool of the jihad.

Article V while we can.
Fear and intimidation work every time they are are applied with sufficient force and speed.
And this was speed, before even the National Guard was called (if it ever shall be). In the absence of any resistance, the onslaught was graced with the feeling of inevitability.
In National Socialist terms, this was a Putsch. On November 8-9, 1923, Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party led a coalition group in an attempted coup d’etat which came to be known as the Beer Hall Putsch. Unsuccessful, this led to the imprisonment of Adolf Hitler and eight of his compatriots, but ultimately it was redefined as a heroic effort to save the nation and integrated it into the mythos of Hitler and the Nazis’ rise to power.
The perpetual revolution. Back in the 1960’s and 1970’s, the “flower children” WON their revolution, and the current unrest is directed against these same “flower children”, who are now in positions of power and authority.
How do you rebel against the rebellion? More importantly, why?
The more this goes on and the stronger it gets, the use of Article V becomes less important and the 2nd Amendment becomes MORE important.
How quickly we forget that the Muslim Brotherhood had its start hand in glove with the Nazi Party, that they gained strength under it as fellow travelers.
Islam is in it for Islam, now, having gained the strength of trillions of dollars in oil sales, but the totalitarians think they are using Islam to be the brownshirts for their new movement. It remains unclear who is using who, but for now this ungodly alliance is trying to eliminate all things American, for whatever reason suits the particular faction.
Certainly, individual liberty is low on both aspects cherished list, including speech, thought, history, religious belief (other than the approved ones), morality (except their twisted versions), and life itself.
The last line to be crossed will be when the government tries to seize personal weaponry.
I only pray we are still free enough to organize and not so programmed with stupidity we surrender, no matter how that is cloaked.
“My country is defeated. This is the result of twenty years of Marxism”.
-General Maxime Weygand, June, 1940.
(A) because it’s there
(B) because there are still vestiges of ‘white privilege’ or ‘establishment’
The revolution is Communist in nature (they don’t wave the Mao books anymore, some still wear Che shirts, none wave the North Vietnamese Communist flag these days). The pillars are black separatists, feminazis, and homofascists. Separate interests and ideas of power, but aligned together against all else. Fellow travelers may think they are safe for spouting the rhetoric but if you aren’t in one of those groups, you were born with ‘original sin’ and cannot be redeemed.
Glad to see someone is saying it.
“NEVER FORGET:
McCarthy was CORRECT about COMMUNISTS”
...which is why Hollywood comes up with a new film every few years to discredit him.
Really. McCarthy was nothing of the sort. He was more than willing to allow people appearing in front of his committees as much time as they needed to make their case, even when it was contrary. But he did have his limits, as he all should have.
Ping for later...thanks for posting.
Horowitz isn’t quite recovered from his blinding liberalism. Didn’t read after his McCarthy reference.
After the shooting stops . . . then what?
