I thought the discussion of Bulworth (Warren Beatty) was interesting. A movie (I have not seen) in which Beatty's character, thinking he is going to die, articulates and espouses unpopular positions like socialism, single-payer, etc. The author compares Bulworth to today's far-left democrats.

...and on the strength of her blowout Democratic-primary win over liberal incumbent Joe Crowley in the party-ruled NY-14 congressional district

She received 15,000-something votes in a Democrat-only closed primary in one of the bluest districts (D+29) of one of the bluest states in the country. Calm the hell down. You'd think Bernie Sanders just won the White House in a landslide.

Why is this surprising? Republicans were done pretending to be moderate years ago, evidence to the contrary notwithstanding. Why should the Democrats be any different?

support for socialism at 44 percent among Millennials

They want the gov't to provide for them so they can spend all their time on their smart phones.

I’ve never seen these movies referenced, but I do read history. Interesting article.

Socialized medicine, i.e., Medicare for all, is the hottest issue on the Left.

And the agenda media parrot the line as if it's a good thing. Rationing and death panels do not sound very appealing, but that's socialism for you. Spreading misery fairly.

Since “O” was smuggled through the back door into the WH... it’s been a full court press on Conservatism.

There is nothing new here except that there are MORE of them ... out in the light of day (like cockroaches).... spewing their extreme, outrageous and seditious BS, like nobody’s business.

Of course it ‘sells newspapers’ so they get the kind of media attention that magnifies their standing out of all proportion to their actual numbers. Only very young and very uneducated voters see it as authentic and factual.

Thanks NEA, for this perpetual wave of automatons you’re exploiting with a criminally mindless sameness, under the pretense of ‘education’.

You are serving NO ONE but the enemies of the United States.

Until they have an outright admitted communist run, they aren’t being honest.

Ah yes, good old socialism. An idea so good it needs fascist tools and techniques to force it on the population that is too ignorant to know what's good for it. An idea so good that it has failed, every single time and place it has been tried.

But sure, this time it'll be different. Why, the people in charge last time just weren't smart enough. But this time it's "us" and we're much smarter than anyone else we know - we've been telling ourselves that, and since we're the smartest people in the room it must be true.


Does that even need a sarcasm tag?

As one of our great modern Conservative thinkers said many years ago, “inside every progressive is an authoritarian screaming to get out” (or words to that affect).

ALL past civility from the Left was done by them biting their tongue so as to not expose the nastiness they really felt.

They seem to define “moderate” as being like LBJ.

Oh, well. I'll be on the lookout for when National Review are done pretending to be conservative.

Yup. The veneer of moderation was a primary casualty of Hillary’s loss. It’s a BernieBot party now.

Used to be stealth socialist(Hillary) and a few self avowed socialists(Bernie).

For those paying attention, we knew they were all in love with socialism.

The more LEFTYS that pull off the mask, the better for our side.

Democrats haven’t been moderate since the 1970’s.

They only talked that way to win elections.

Now they are even faking it anymore.
